Our First Christmas Married!!!

This Christmas was a lot of fun! It was our first Christmas Married and we really enjoyed it. We spent Christmas Eve with Dan's family and Christmas Day with my family it was a blast. We ate food, played games and spent time with the fams which is always a blast!! Enjoy the pics!!

School, School and more School!

So school has taken over both Dan and my life!! It is pretty much all we do and wow are we ready for thanksgiving break!! Anyways If any of you all are interested in what I have been doing you can check out my visual media website at www.simplyamandaj.com!

Disney Land!!!

Last week we went to Disney Land with my parents and my sister Monica's family. It was a blast and we are so sad to be back to work and school!! We saw a ton of characters and word of the wise last week in August is the best time to go because there were hardly no lines at all!! We also went to Sea World, the beach and even an Angels game (they played Oakland A's and last horribly)! I seriously loved every moment of it even though my feet hurt like crazy and were swollen so much you couldn't even see my bones!!

Island Park Vacation!!

Over the 24th of July Dan and I went to Island Park with my family and we had a blast. It was just for the weekend but we did a lot and was absolutely exhausted when we got home on Sunday. Friday we got up their early morning and went to West Yellowstone to shop and get candy at the best candy shop ever. Saturday we floated the river which took 3 1/2 hour and Dan and Karl ended up pulling the boat down the river from more than half of it! After the river we then road our bikes to Big Springs and ended up righting home in a storm! All in All it was a fun weekend and it was great to get away from school and work!

4th of July and Dan's Birthday!!

Last weekend we went down to Logan to hang out with our families and celebrate the 4Th or July and also Dan's birthday!! We had a blast swimming and eating tons of food! We drove down on Friday and had to do all of this stressful car stuff which was way more expensive than we expected but other than that we had so much. Unfortunately the weekend ended way to fast and we are now finishing up our last two weeks in of this semester. We are so excited to be done and to finally have a summer break!!

Bear Hunt!!

Almost every year since I was born my family and I have gone up to Yellowstone/island park camping and we have NEVER seen a bear!! So this year my mom decided that she was on a bear hunt. So last weekend my parent's came up to visit Dan and I and we went to Yellowstone for the weekend to look for bears. Well not only did we see three bears, (two grizzles and a black bear) but we also saw many other animals including elk, deer, moose, bison, antelope, rabbits and even a longhorn sheep!! It was a lot of fun and it was a great break from boring Rexburg!!

I conformed!!

So after following Suzi's, Laura's and Allyx's blogs I decided that Dan and I need one. I also have come to the conclusion that I am no longer a fan of facebook and that I would rather blog about Dan and I, while still being able to share pictures with everyone. So this is going to be my attempt to do a electronic journal of our life (thanks for the idea Suzi)!! I hopefully will post at least once a week maybe twice a week when the week allows it!!
