The Past Idk like YEAR

I'm a major slacker when it comes to updating this thing but when I read similar things in other peoples blog entries I don't feel as bad.

Last year Luke and I went to Fall and Winter semester at BYU-Idaho and we decided we were tired of working like a bunch of slaves and barely working at minimum wage with stupid hours so we left. We came to Colorado! (:

For those of you who know me well know how obsessed I am with this state. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Colorado and I am so glad to say I am from here. (Although I was technically born in Alabama, whatever)

Luke and I have both been working for the past six months while living at his parents house to save up money. What for? A house! I never thought I would be a homeowner at age 21 but God has blessed us so greatly. The home is nothing too fancy but it's not a crap hole either and those were my standards. It's 2 bath 3 bed house with a kitchen and living room and garage which Luke is most excited about.

We have yet to move in and this has been such a trial of my patience because I am not a patient person. We get to move in on Oct 18! (Cross your fingers that everything works out well)

Both Luke and I have had a ton of stuff going on be it work or the fact that we are doing online school through BYUI to finish up our degrees. Should be an interesting semester!

This summer luckily Luke and I had a ton of opportunities to have fun! From camping, to boating and then going to Florida which was the highlight of my summer. I seriously fell so in love with Florida and want to go back now so badly! (I hate the humidity though and could never consider it as a viable place to live unless I was five min from the beach)

Now here is the photo explosion of our trip.

Us mormons do it right in a 15 passenger van! 

 Kennedy Space Center

 Bella and I (:

 DISNEY WORLD

And Lastly All the siblings and I went to Elich's this September! It was so fun to have a sibling day like that. 

Halloween and Recent Happenings!

Last year Luke and I went with Kylee to the haunted straw maze so we decided to make a tradition out of it and go again this year. Luke wanted us to actually get a picture there since we didn't last time. (:

We brought Maddie along too this year so Kylee wouldn't feel like a third wheel. (Also there is a good chance of me having creepy eyes in this picture because of trying to correct red eye on my phone) 

Luke and I went bowling with some of his Lakewood friends and I got the best bowling score I have ever gotten in my life and I still didn't win!!! (Dang Bryce Pexton!) But I broke 100  and got 3 strikes so I can cross that off the bucket list! 

 If you know me you know I'm an animal lover so I finally convinced Luke to let me get a bunny! Her name is Farley and she's a Mini Rex rabbit. Luke's not as fond of her but he tolerates her.

She loves to sit on my shoulder too which is kinda weird but good for pictures! 

Marlboro Man for Halloween! 

Price is Right Contestant ! 

I love these pjs so much that I wanted to put them on here. (Luke thinks I'm crazy) 

This is called Play dough ice cream and it is one of the most delicious ice creams you will ever have! Also the fact that it's Farr's ice cream makes a world of difference!!! 

Us being us... 

Luke and I went to a pottery painting thing a business for a class is doing! It's super awesome and fun if you haven't tried it. It's called Paint and Fire. You paint it and then they glaze and fire it. I can't wait to get ours back! 

We decided on doing a simple polkadot pattern so if we messed up a design it looked like it was supposed to be there. 

I love this man! (: 

I can't wait for Thanksgiving and (hopefully) getting to see some family in Utah. Right now where we are actually eating dinner is up in the air but hopefully someone will want us! I wish we could go to Colorado but there's not enough time or budget to let us when we are going there for Christmas. I can't wait to see my family and my new family! Luke and I are so lucky that our families live so close so we can see both of them in one trip! Can't wait for Christmas! 

Herbert Ghost Town!

So one of my favorite things to do is try and find Ghost Towns. (granted this is just one house which doesn't really constitute a "town" but the rest of the town was on private property and Luke wouldn't trespass.) Anyway, it was super cool and old! It was a town called Herbert just outside of Rexburg. We went into the house and it was falling to pieces. Literally, my brother in law Andrew went up stairs with Luke and they made a 2x4 fall off the ceiling above my head! Scared me to death! Hopefully we will be able to go back this weekend so I can convince Luke to find the rest of the town with me! Later we went driving around the Idaho countryside and it was so beautiful! Luke decided to test out his Suburbans abilities and made it keep going up and down this super steep hill! Really fun day all together though! I'm always looking forward to the weekend when I have such fun like this. 

My husband is better than yours ;)

I love Luke so much sometimes I can't believe that I could ever love anything ever as much as I do him. (: Here are some pictures my friend took for us, you can see her blog http://rebeccaleighphotography.tumblr.com

It had been brought to my attention I have no wedding pictures on here. So here ya go.

Being a sister to a sister.

Decided to post this because I started missing my sister. This little six year old girl is awesome. She's crazy and a girlie girl and pretty happy most of the time. When you're around her you can never be bored or lonely. She takes care of me when I'm sick and makes me laugh when I'm sad. Some of the things that come out of her mouth... Prob has to do with my influence. Sometimes I think she's older than six other times I think she's two. She's lived through more than a lot of people will ever experience. And she's just a little girl. I'm so happy that she will be part of my family and hopefully this year sealed to my family.

Being a married student.

  Being a married student is something I honestly never thought I would do. But I guess that's what happens when you fall in love and want to be with someone forever. (too cheesy?) In all seriousness it is one of the strangest things. Maybe it's because of the thick Mormon culture, of a mostly Mormon community, at a Mormon university, but it's still strange to me how little people think it's strange to be married here, and be a student. Any girls I know my age that are married from back home is because they are also a mother, and the mothering part came first. I guess to them  I do things in a backwards order?
  Being married here is something that is so different than the rest of my college experience. For instance, I'm actually being responsible and doing my homework. (Mostly this is because I don't have the distraction of a boy anymore) I've found when you're with someone all the time the less distracting they may be. (*side note: this however is not the same case with children*) It's not that you necessarily get bored of them, you just get used to their company. But being single sure is a lot more eventful than being married. Now I have to actually care about the important things more.
  Okay, I think I'm done with my tangent.

New Events in Luke and Kate's Ever-After.

School started and we moved into a duplex on the outskirts of Rexburg right next to the drive in movie theater. It's a lot of fun to live on our own and do our own thing. It's also a lot easier to have a roommate that I already love.

Fun things we've done.

Our Honeymoon in Estes Park, Colorado.

We climbed to the top of this hill to see the view! So pretty. 

4th of July, waiting to watch the fireworks.

I forced him to go to Casa Bonita with me. (He had never been)

Don't worry the food is still as gross as ever.

We went camping! (:

Camping at Kenosha Pass.

It looked like Ireland up there.

Luke and I went to Yellowstone, he had never been.

He told me to smile, I said no.

We made a trip to Utah and Luke got to meet his nephew Liam! 

Then we went and explored SLC.

Liberty Park.

Our last stop in the Utah trip was going to the Brigham City Open house. We hadn't planned on going and so we had no church clothes. We were the most undressed people there. But all together it was beautiful!!! 

We went to a demolition derby this past weekend. It was so fun! I want to go to another one so bad! 

We've almost been together for a year coming up on the 23rd and that is also when our 3 month anniversary is. (:
