Sun, Love, Family.

Well...we were able to go to our Sommers family reunion for a few days. It was really fun. They rented a house up at bear lake (which is only like an hour away, which is super nice). We took a tent and pitched it in the backyard. We crashed pretty early on Thursday but Friday we woke up early and got ready and went to Bear Lake for the day. It was AWESOME! I don't know how many of you have been to Bear Lake...but you can pretty much just walk out into the middle of it without the water ever going above your head (which is my kind of swimming). Macy really liked it too. We had a lot of fun. The water was nice and cool. The sun was out and hot. There was no wind. The water was perfect and blue. It was awesome. I am dying to go back already!

So many big decisions..

It's official. I'm terrified to be an adult. Things get all real and scary once you're married and completely broken away from your parents. We found a house in Rexburg to rent and it's really nice and we have prayed about it and feel really good. But...ITS SCARY! We are signing our life away on a lease. We're forking out the first months rent and deposit. We're trying to make decisions that are going to effect the rest of our lives! It's stressful. Gray hairs coming on? Quite possibly.
Why can't everything just be simple and fine and dandy? Cause I got to admit...that would just be stupendous.

In my defense everyone, including myself warned him before we even got married...

Well...Even though people have warned him, including myself...my sweet husband still didn't know what he was getting himself into. Every single day he tells me "I will never have a boring day being with you". I keep this man on his toes! Today when he got out of work he called and I said "When you come home just don't be mad!" He got real worried really quick. He said "I'll be home soon....."
I wish I would have caught the look on his face when he walked in....This is what he walked into...

                                     
                                      

The funny part of the story was me getting the pool. I got really bored today. And as you can see I really had no desire to clean our house. So I sat on the couch for a few minutes and decided I was really hot. So I decided we needed a swimming pool. I went into town to TrueValue. I got a tarp and pool. The lady was looking at me weird but didn't ask questions. Then after I went out to the car and attempted to put the pool into the back seat I realized it wasn't going to fit. So I went back inside to buy rope. I tied that pool down as tight as I could to the roof. It was wrapped through my windows like 10 times. After I was done tying it down I was really proud of myself...until I tried opening the door to the car to get in. I realized I had tied shut all the doors. I had spent the last 10 minutes tying up the pool and didn't want to untie it. So I (literally) dove through the drivers side window to get into the car. After a few minutes of giggling and getting myself upright I looked over and noticed this girl staring at me like I was nuts. I just laughed and drove away. I went 20 mph while I had my hand out the window holding down the pool for extra support. Unfortunately it was windy so I ended up hanging out the window with 2 hands holding the pool that was now flying away while I controlled the steering wheel with just my knee. I was only going like 10 mph by now so no one get mad! Anyway. Finally I lost the pool. Luckily I was in a deserted area so it didn't hit anyone. I tried getting out of the car only to remember that I was tied in. So I climbed out of the window head first, landed on the ground, and by this point I was mad. So I folded that pool into practically a square and shoved it in the back seat. Luckily it didn't crack because it was so warm it just bent nicely :) I got it home and spent the next hour filling it up with a cooking pot. It was a lot of trips from the sink to the pool. Finally Josh walked in to his wife sitting in a pool in the middle of the living room. He didn't know what to think at first but then started laughing hysterically. We spent the next few hours playing with our bath toys and watching TV while we hung out in our pool. It was an awesome day. 

For those of you who are going to say "That is a horrible idea, you could ruin the carpet! etc" because I know there are a few out there. The tarp was 100% water proof. We did not splash at all. And the pool is now out of our living room and there is not one drop of water anywhere :) So don't be upset! 

Today was AWESOME!

My Husband The Felon

Well....
Last week we got a letter in the mail saying there was a warrant out for his arrest. A week before our wedding Josh got into a little fender bender in Utah on a Sunday afternoon as we were parting our ways to go home. He got a ticket and we never paid it (with the stress of everything it was the last thing on our minds). Well the same day we got the letter in the mail stating he had a warrant out he got pulled over. The cop was a grade A jerk. Like honestly...I know cops are supposed to be tough and all...but this guy acted like he was gonna shoot us. No joke. This cop was mental. So after he yells at us for 3 minutes (oh p.s. we got pulled over because Josh wasn't driving in a straight line because we were laughing. He was maintaining a lane...but he slowly veered to the right and the cop got mad) so anyway. He takes Josh's license to go run it and i'm in our car like "I love you Josh. I promise as soon as I can i'll come bail you out of jail....Don't worry i'll tell your mom you love her" haha. And Josh looked like he was going to pass out. His face was all white and he was gripping the steering wheel for dear life. 2 seconds later the cop came back and i'm thinking "This cop is such a jerk there's going to be no mercy. My husband is going to jail". But instead the cop said in a VERY rude voice "Well I have to go help someone that is stranded. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't write you up for every thing in the book". Ughhh. He made me so mad. Is there a place you can go complain about jerk off cops??? It's not that we got pulled over it's the way he treated us. He talked to us like we were white trash scumbags.
Anyway...
We got the ticket paid and everyone is happy and dandy now and my husband no longer has a warrant out.

A Bed, A TV, and a Vacuum!

So there is this tiny store here in Malad called "Thomas Electric". They have this system where people in Malad can go put money there for a couple getting married..and then we go pick out what we want at the store. Its kind of like registering backwards?
So we went in today to see how much we had gotten. We got enough to get a bed set (The nicest mattress they had, box spring, and frame). We also got the nicest vacuum they had (I LOVE it........I also need a life). And we got a 50 inch plasma screen HDTV. After the vacuum and the bed I asked if we could just put the rest of the money into our savings account for college...they didn't go for that so I looked around to see what else we could get (we still had a ton of money left in our account by this point). So after looking at nightstands, dressers, couches, etc. I couldn't find anything I loved...then i walked into the back and saw this monstrous TV and knew Josh would just die. So I got it. What else was I supposed to get? The problem is I don't feel like I can say anything about it because I don't want people to think we took the money people were generous enough to give us to go buy some plasma flat screen instead of something practical. So please...nobody get the idea we wasted our money away. We just didn't know what else to get there. So my life is currently complete. A VERY comfy bed that is off of the ground! YAY! (We have been sleeping on the ground for the past few nights), a massive TV that has amazing picture and hooks up directly to WiFi so we can watch netflix and Hulu on it :) and a nice vacuum. Now I have a nice clean house :)
And of course don't forget my awesome husband who goes to work every single day to earn money to support our small little family! I am one lucky girl :)
Goodnight world!

You know you're in vegas when...

Well... me and Josh went to vegas on our honeymoon. We stayed at the M resort in Henderson. It was SO nice. We had a straight shot view of the strip (it was beautiful). It was just sooo relaxing. Loved it.
Some awesome things we did...

• Madame Tussades wax museum. 
• Shopping
• Yummy meals
• Shark Reef
• Bass Pro Shop (Josh's choice)
• and watched Brave. 

All in all it was pretty awesome!
Some things we saw that you only see in vegas...
A 3 year old black girl with gold caps on her front teeth.
Scooby Mobile
Captain Jack Sparrow (Just randomly... He said he doesn't like drawing attention to himself......so he dresses up like Jack Sparrow and expects people not to stare....?)
Hmmm. That's all I can think of for right now. I know we saw more strange things...but you get the idea :)

I'm Married!!!

Ugh.... So much has happened in the past 2 weeks that I just haven't even had a second to post about.
One post at a time....
So the wedding day!  Someone told me to write down all the details. Sooo ...here goes
Our Wedding Day Video - Here is the video of our wedding day my awesome brother made.
Me and my mom and dad went and stayed in Idaho Falls on Friday night. Friday night I could NOT sleep. I was up until probably 3AM. Saturday morning I had to wake up early to get gorgeous. At 10 I had to go to the church to pick up Josh so we could go to the mall and buy me earrings :) hahah. So When I got to the church I spilled Dr. Pepper all over my white church dress I had planned on wearing inside the temple. No worries...I had another dress packed away for our honeymoon that I ended up throwing on. So off we went to the mall to find earrings :) It only took about 5 minutes. Then it was back to the church. Did I mention the church was foreverrrr away? And we got quite lost. But its ok...we got to the church just about the time we were supposed to be leaving for the temple. So we grabbed our dads and jumped in the car. We got to the temple and went in. They took us into a room to make sure all of our information on our marriage license was correct. Then we went into the changing rooms where I got into my temple clothes. We were super ahead of time so they let me and Josh go directly to the Celestial room for the next 45 minutes. I will tell you there is no time more nerve wrecking then sitting there with your soon to be husband. He was all calm...and enjoying the spirit in the room and I was just thinking "I wanna do this NOW! I've waited months...why are they making us wait?" haha. We had tags on our clothes that said "Sealing" on them though...so everyone that came through the Celestial room knew that we were getting sealed and we got a lot of "Congrats" and smiles and pointing fingers. So the fame was kind of fun. Then finally our escorts came in and got us and took us down to the sealing room. All of our family was all seated and me and Josh walked in. We sat at a bench in the middle of the room while the Sealer gave us advice. Honestly I don't remember a word he said. I'm pretty sure he gave us 3 scriptures that applied to marriage...but what those scriptures were I couldn't even tell you. I was staring at Josh the whole time and I remember my cheeks were starting to hurt I was smiling so hard. Then the Sealer had us step over to the alter where he sealed us for time and eternity. The only words I remember him saying were "This sealing covenant you make with God" and then "I now pronounce you Joshua and Hannah husband and wife" and I will tell you there is no other time I have gone in so fast for a kiss from that man. It was awesome! Then everyone came through and said congrats...then I went and got into my dress. We stepped outside and took a million pictures...then me and Josh got into our own car. We talked for a minute..then decided to go to the Distribution center to get me a few things I needed. So we walk into the distribution center in my wedding dress and his tux and EVERYONE stared at us. It was pretty funny. We got what we needed then got back in the car. Neither of us had eaten all day...so we talked about where to go. I didn't want to get stuff all over my dress...so I suggested a smoothie (no mess). We drove across town to Jamba Juice and again...went in in my wedding dress and his tux. Again. EVERYONE STARED! After we got our smoothies we headed back to Malad. We went over to the reception to find out Ben (Josh's little brother) had busted open his nose a few minutes earlier and was rushed to the ER. Everyone assured us he was ok. We started the reception and stood in line for nearly 2 hours. After the line we cut the cake, played a shoe game, I threw the bouquet, Josh got the garter and threw it, and we danced :) Then we ran off to our honeymoon. Our car was filled with balloons. The front window had 2 hearts drawn on it. The other windows had 'GET SOME' and 'Multiply and Replenish', 'Just married', and 'Lucky in love'.
I love that boy!
