{two months in}

It's been a little over two month since we've tied the eternal knot! Wow time flies.... Anyway, we are back from Utah. It was a great two weeks! I celebrated my birthday with my family which was awesome. The whole first week was crazy getting ready for the wedding and family coming in. The Thursday before the wedding a family friend, RaLynn Parry, and I threw Lexi a bridal shower. It turned out great and Lexi blushed a bit! Haha. Then the big day.....well the day before the big day was pretty busy too! We cleaned, decorated, and Garett and I spent the whole day wrapping outside railing and stairs in white lights and tulle....Christmas lights are of the devil.....no joke. We would plug in the strand to make sure it worked and then we would wrap it around and then it wouldn't work...so we would have to wiggle all the lights until they worked. That is why it took all day. But it was worth it because it looked awesome! The wedding day was hectic but awesome! Going to the temple with most of my family was amazing! The hectic part was after teh temple and luncheon; getting ready for the reception. It was crazy but it's the kind of crazy I love. I love decorating, catering, that sort of thing so it was fun to help out that way.

After we returned the house to it's original splendor is when our vacation really began. We went hiking in the Zions Canyon and ate way too much wedding cake. It was also my dad's birthday so we went out to breakfast and that night we turned the wedding cake into a birthday cake and celebrated some more! According to the numbers on the cake he was only turning 20....haha 20x2+some more years ; ) Love you padre!

Now we are back in Spokane and starting to settle into a normal routine and into Garett's parents' basement. I like making spaces feel like home and making them as cozy and homey as possible so that has been my project lately. Garett starts school this week and has a job interview at Costco too! Yay I love Costco! I have started coaching a bunch of hooligans....um 10 year olds haha....with the Spokane Shadow Soccer Academy. It's entertaining and tiring! That's life for the Johnsons at the moment...definitely blessed!

{packing....how I loathe thee}

The day of moving is drawing closer and closer and the packing is no where near done. Each day we say we are going to do some but so far not much has gotten done. So today will be the day we vowed; we will tackle the garage today and the closet. There was recently a fire in an apartment complex in the area and our friend Laura knows a family that lost everything so that is motivating us to go through all of our stuff and donate anything we have multiple of or don't really need. That'll lighten our load down to Utah here in a few months too : )

Other than that we are just gearing up for Lexi's wedding here in a couple of weeks. I'm planning her bridal shower as her maid of honor....or matron of honor, whichever it is. So far so good. We are doing a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" theme which should be fun.

That's all I have for now! Stay tuned : )

{the first post....hopefully not the last}

I decided to start blogging....we shall see how long this lasts. I really enjoy reading other people's blog just so I can keep up with everything....nothing worse than being completely clueless about a marriage or a new baby when talking to a friend or a family member!

Just to recap life as of late....

Garett Johnson is my hubby. We dated a total of 3 months before we were engaged and were recently married in the Spokane Temple on July 15th. Crazy! Oh and married life is awesome!

Plans for the immediate future....well we shall be making our pilgramage to Utah the end of this year. I can't believe I will be a Utard...heehee....no offense to any Utahns ; ) We are moving down for school and work. It'll be nice to be closer to mi familia in St. George!

Our last four months in Spokane we will be living with Garett's parents. Good thing his family is awesome!

I think that is enough for the first post....don't want to overdo it or burn myself out ; )
