Our Life as of Lately...

Austin and I are about a little more than halfway done with this semester.

We are chugging right along with school, work, and homework.

Our challenge is finding time for just each other!

[But, we are somehow managing it.]♥

My Baby is always working so very hard.

This is what happened when he found out I was taking pictures.

In addition to all of the busy fun we've been having, we like to try some fun new recipes.

[Super yummy enchiladas found here.]

A little late, but this is what arrived at our door the day before Valentine's Day.

We had the most amazing Valentine's Weekend ever!

And that is all for now.♥

Have a beautiful Sabbath!

My Mom♥

I am full of joy right now and want to express to my readers about how 

I have the most amazing mom! 

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful of a mother she is. 

She is always willing to serve her family and anyone around her. 

I would not be where I am today without her influence and direction in my life. 

Austin and I are so grateful for her and everything that she has helped us with in these past few months!

My mom always knows the right answer to anything and everything. 
If I am ever in doubt or have a question about something, she is right there with comfort and assurance. 
She is the perfect example of how to be a wonderful wife and an outstanding mother, 
and I only hope that one day I can be just like her for mine and Austin’s family! 
I am so comforted to know that she is right close by for whenever my sweet husband and I need her. 
I love her with all my heart and will forever be grateful for all that she does!

I love you mom!

Billing's Wedding

In January, Austin's sister was sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple to Greg Billings! It was such a beautiful day for them. Austin and I are so happy for this cute couple and were very grateful to be able to attend their sealing. They are so good together and are so in love! 
Also, I know this post is a little late... but it took me some time to actually transfer the photos from my camera to my computer. Any-who, here are some pictures taken on that special day!

*Be advised, there are quite an ample amount of photos.*


Introducing... Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Billings

So cute.

Bridesmaid with Austin's sisters.

Picture time. These are all of the siblings.

The boys. I just think Austin is so handsome!

These are all the newly-married couples.

♥We love to see the Temple.

There was a delicious dinner the night before!

This is baby Owen. He loved the camera!

Natalie {the bride}.

Austin and I before the reception started.

The whole day was so wonderful!

We wish Natalee and Greg the best in all things! We cannot wait to have couple dates!

Pizza Night

Pizza night at my parent's house was such a blast! Each couple made their own pizza.
I must say, besides the fact that ours stuck to the stone, it was pretty delicious.

FINALLY!!!!

So, if you read our earlier post about not being able to download our pictures onto our computers, you will know how far behind we are in posting...

This is where we play catch up.

Our First Christmas

**NOTICE** We apologize in advance for the blurriness of some pictures... 
It is definitely time for a new camera.

Here are some cute pictures of Austin... just Austin. Isn't he just so handsome?♥

We also made gingerbread trains.

We had fun with family; and got some very generous gifts. Both of our parents are amazing!

Our whole Christmas experience was wonderful. We were able to settle-down and really reflect on the true meaning of it. It was amazing to be able to spend it with Austin! He made everything so special and sweet. It makes me wish I had taken more pictures! This next year will be full of more camera flashes... :]
