The Move!

We moved to Ogden from Rexburg on April 10th, the day after Tom graduated! We got up early that morning and went to the Rexburg temple with my parents and grandparents, and then we got busy loading the trailer! I can't believe how much "stuff" we have!!! We completely filled up the snowmobile trailer! We had so much help moving and we are so grateful for everyone that helped us! Our new apartment is a basement apartment, so everyone had to run up and down the stairs hauling stuff! And there is one object that everyone was a little upset that I wanted in my living room..... A piano! It took 5 men, but they got it down the stairs and I'm so excited to have the piano to play and hopefully so I can start teaching lessons!

Tom's Graduation!

OnThursday, April 9, 2008, Tom graduated from BYU-I's Nursing Program! He has worked really hard and received really good grades! Our newly ordained Apostle, Elder Neil A. Anderson, spoke at the graduation, as well as President Clarke! Tom's parents and his brother Eddie came up, as well as my parents, two youngest sisters and both sets of Grandparents to celebrate with Tom!!! I'm so proud of him!

Tom's Surprise 30th B-day!

I planned a surprise party for Tom about a month before his real birthday, but I did it so that all of his friends could be there! A lot of his friends in Rexburg came, and even his friends, Dave and Jordan, came all the way from West Valley to be there! Tom was completely surprised, which surprised me because I'm a horrible liar and he is such a snoop!!! I also planned another surprise party for him, on his real birthday, April 24th, and all of his family and mine were there! We met at the Golden Phoenix for dinner! Again, I was totally surprised that it was all a surprise to him! I love my hubby!!

Rock Climbing!

Tom loves to go rock climbing with Peter and they went a lot when we were living in Rexburg. This is one of their last adventures before we moved back to Utah! I still haven't gotten brave enough to try it! I just like watching from my safe spot on the ground!

Great First Impression!

The first time we went to visit my parents after the wedding (Sept 2008), Tom decided to jump on the trampoline with Savana and her friend! After about 2 minutes, Savana came back in, laughing hysterically, and said, "Your husband broke the tramp!" I was so confused! Apparently, he was having a bummsy war with the girls and when he landed on his bum, he landed on it again on the ground! Oh, my husband! He was so embarrassed! And to this day, my parents still don't have a jumpable trampoline!

A Dream Come True!

Tom and I were married on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 in the Salt Lake Temple! We had SO many people there to share this special day with! Tom's Grandpa Spackman performed the marriage and he did such a great job! We had our luncheon at the Golden Phoenix in Salt Lake and then that evening we had the most beautiful reception in Grandpa and Grandma Mecham's yard! We got married one day short of 4 months from the day we met! It happened really fast for us, but we are SO happy and more in love today than we were when we got married!
