Tennessee is so beautiful! I want to live there someday!
Cody playin' softball. He played good!

Aubrie, Mica, Me, and Lilia. Go Utes! We didn't even plan it.
We went out to Nashville for Eric and Diane's wedding. Cody was a groomsman-and a handsome one at that! :) It was a fun weekend!
Puckett's in downtown Franklin for breakfast one morning
For their wedding dinner we went to the "Loveless Cafe". It was out in the country. It was soooo good! I loved their biscuits, brisket, fried chicken, creamed corn, grean beans, and cobbler!
We went to Vegas over the 24th of July. It was so much fun! We went shopping at the outlets, definately my favorite part! Then we went along the strip that night. Hung out by the pool and went to dinner. It was fun!
Lilia's baby blessing. The family minus Ryan.
So much has happened since last December I hardly know where to start. I will try to catch everyone up on what's been happening. Well... Cody and I had our boy-girl twins!
It has been really fun. It took a lot of training because of all the floors I had to train on. It is nice to have somewhere new to go everyday. I see a lot of different types of things. This is the main reason I switched to the hospital, to get more experience to help me out in my nursing. Hopefully it gets me an in once I graduate. I like working with different people every day, that way I don't get involved in the politics. I do "sitter" jobs about half of the time. This means that a patient is a 1:1 or they need one staff member in their room watching them at all times. These days are long, but sometimes nice. I can bring books or my computer to use when my patient is asleep. (That is what I am doing right now). It will be really nice once school starts up in August to be able to do my homework.
The end of April Cody and I closed on our first place! We got a steal of a deal and it was the perfect time for us to buy so we did it. It was crazy, we looked at it and the next day put in an offer and the offer got accepted. We had a hard time moving from the little white house we rented from grandma, we loved it and loved our neighbors and family. It was a good move though. Our new neighbors are great. It was so nice to double our living space from 450 sq feet to 900!! We've been busy fixing the place up. It was built in 1994, so it has needed a little updating. Pictures are soon to come!
Cody has been busy with work and side jobs. He helped Mica and Ryan do their backsplash in their new house. He has also been doing a lot of fences and just work for people in their houses. It's nice how handy he is. He definately has been wearing himself out. I tell him to relax, but of course he never can. If he's not working, he's golfing or playing some other type of sport or doing a project. Unfortunately for him, I've been keeping him up on "honey-do's".
Cody's health hasn't been the greatest. He had bronchitis earlier this month and his kidney stones have been acting up again. He's been trying to drink more water and less soda, this just seems to be clearing out his existing stones. Not fun. Hopefully it will help in the long run.
I will post some pictures of some of the fun things we've been doing this summer!

Our Christmas stockings and Nutcrackers. (Cody may be a little bitter about how much the stockings cost, but they are CUTE!)
Take little notice of the makeshift ribbon and tree skirt. Haha
Me "fluffing" our tree. Finally we got the right tree, 6 stores later and purchasing and returning 2 other trees.

The finished result. They look great! (I wish the picture turned out better)
