CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas was wonderful this year!! We spent the weekend at my parents' home. Richard spoiled me of course. He gave me a trunk tray for our new car, a hair diffuser, a deep fryer, a breadmaker, perfume, a JC Penny gift card, and much more. My parents gave us a BBQ grill--now we just have to wait for summer to get here so we can use it! We're totally stoked!!

We also got to talk to Skylar who's in San Diego...he's doing great and it was good to get to talk to him!!

The following are some pics of our apartment at Christmas Time!!!

HALLOWEEN!!!

We carved pumpkins this year--mine was just an ordinary pumpkin. However, Richard totally got into it and carved an awesome design into his pumpkin!! Here's some pics of his pumpkin!!

OUR HONEYMOON!!

For our honeymoon, we went to Mesquite, NV for 6 days. It was nice to get away from the cold and to be able to spend time with each other without any interruptions of work or wedding planning. Here are just a few of the pics from our memorable trip!!

I love waterfalls, and we saw some awesome ones in Mesquite!!

This was just a fun little gazebo--good for taking some pics...and country dancing!

You can kinda see the palm trees in the background. They lined the streets.

So cool and beautiful!!

The Oasis was one of the hotels we stayed in!!

We spent one day in Las Vegas, which is where the following pics were taken!!

Wow! Huge!

I believe this is called a Gandala. It was this big stream of water INSIDE a building and you could take a little ride in one these gandalas. Due to that long line of people, we just watched and didn't ride!

Weird looking staue thing--I liked the waterfall thing!
