HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

Today is such a special day for John and I, all I can really say is being married is one of Heavenly Fathers greatest gifts he could give to us here on earth! John and I have had the best year even though it has had its hard times I couldn't think of any other way I would have spent this last year! Our anniversary fell on a Sunday this year and John has been in midterms and finales the last couple of weeks, so we didn't do much but just spend time together is really the best present we can give each other! Even though our Bishop told John to take me out for a night out on the town we decided to watch the Christmas devotional, play games and we ended the night by watching our wedding video.. ( OK.. we went and got a donut from DW but that was it)! We will celebrate when we both a have a week where we can go somewhere warm, also our cake topper is at mom and dad's house so we will bust that baby out when we go home for Christmas! 

John I love you so much, you are the best husband in the world and I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am for you.  You are the man of my dreams and I'm so happy we waited for each other! I know this is cheese but you really are my better half and you make my life whole and complete! Your everything to me, and I can't picture my life without you.  Thank you for being so kind and willing to do anything for me, I can't wait to spend eternity with you!

Here are some of our favorite pictures of our special day, also I would just like to say THANK YOU for all of you who helped make our wedding day so wonderful! We love our family and friends tremendously! We know none of this could have happened without your love and support, so once again thank you, thank you, thank you! 

December 6th a day to always remember!

I love Thanksgiving!!

Let the Thanksgiving FESTIVITIES begin!

Avery was a little flirt she loved John and Jared

John and I made our famous banana cream pie and it was delicious!

~Pie fest 2009~

The day after Thanksgiving the SLC temple turns on the temple lights and we thought we would try it out this year and go up as a family, it was so fun having the whole gang go!

WHAT A GAME.. that's all I can say! 

GO COUGS!

BYU 26- UTAH 23 in over time.. this game was NUTS!

Thanksgiving package!

Once again Lester (my mom) out does herself and sent John and I the best Thanksgiving package! I love getting these packages not only to do they make us so happy but my mom sends they best treats and decorations, which my apartment needs desperately!  We have 3 little shelves on one wall (which is kinda looks dinky) but the decorations look very cute on them! I just wanted to say thank you very much mom and family, we love you and can't wait to see you in a couple days!

Halloween Party!

I just wanted to say a BIG THANKS to the Babcock's for hosting a fun Halloween party, We had such a great time and of course there were the best snacks and goodies! There also were some really cute costumes and we enjoyed taking the kids trick or treating! I'm sad I don't really have any pic's to show except for the eye ball cup cakes I made, but I would say it was a very successful Halloween, Thanks Again! 

The Proposal date night!

Well I promised I would post some picture of our date night, and I have to say it was one of the best dates ever, we had so much fun!

We went to one of our favorite pizza places.. Gay Nineties!

We went to the pumpkin patch.. OINK OINK 

This was the biggest pumpkin I have ever seen or hugged!

 

Then we decide to make a home made puzuki's (sp?) but we didn't have the right kind of pans so we improvised with a bread pan and I have to say the peanut butter cookie with vanilla ice cream was so good!

Well it's not 27 pumpkins but it is a diamond ring asking me to marry him!

Then to finish off the night we watched the movie the Proposal.. Perfect I know!

THE PROPOSAL!!

One year ago today John asked me the best question in the world, Becky will you marry me? I love thinking about this phrase and I am reminded of it everyday especially by looking at my ring and being spoiled by John all the time! I just can't believe it's already been a year and getting closer to our actual one year anniversary! What a great year this has been, it's been full of love, family, adventure, laughs, tears, happiness, and excitement! John and I have grown so close to one another throughout this year, and it's been such a wonderful experience that I know will only get better as the years go on! I love John with all my heart and I know he loves me unconditionally (because of the sweet note he left on my mirror this morning among with many other things).  John and I are going to go on a fun date tonight and carve a pumpkin to keep the memory alive, so I will post pictures of that later but for now here's just a little reminder of how cute my husband is! 

I love you sweet heart! 

The best Husband, The best Surprise and the best Parties!

This last weekend John surprised me with a ticket to Utah, so I could go home for our annual Halloween parties! Each year my mom and dad put together a fun pumpkin carving event for the whole family and any friends that want to come!  There's always delicious food; creative and intense but friendly pumpkin carving contest!   Despite all these people who carved pumpkins it didn't match the number that John did for our engagement last year:) Thanks mom and Dad for a GREAT party!

This weekend was just one party after another, the next day my Aunt Lisa and her friend threw the best Witches party ever! The night was full of scary and cute witches, a wonderful assortment of food as well as delicious goodies, dancing and prizes! It was such a fun party, Thanks Lisa for spending the time to put it all together!

The wicked old witch turned Grandma Grace into an "Old bird" Everyone loved her Costume
