Heather & Tyler's Wedding

My best friend since Kindergarten got married yesterday!!! It was such a fun day. Heather and Tyler (who is also my good friend, I met him in Jr. High and we've been good friends for a long time) were married in the Bountiful Temple! Austin and I were both able to go watch them be sealed for time and eternity. It is so much fun being able to be in the temple with such good friends. I really enjoyed being a bridesmaid, and my mom made all of the bridesmaid dresses. They are so cute! Heather and Tyler have been dating on and off since like 8th or 9th grade, and I always knew they would end up getting married. They are SO good together. Congratualations you two!! We are so glad we got to be a part of your special day.

Halloween Fun!!

We had our annual pumpking carving evening last night with my family, and it was a blast. I thought I'd try to get creative (which I'm totally not but it's something I'd like to be so I've been working on it) As most of you may know, my Dad, Austin, and I are huge Yankee fans! So I decided since they are in the World Series that I would carve my pumpkin in honor of the yankees ha ha Also, my awesome little brother Blake plays football at Wahlquist Jr. High. He is the starting running back and also plays defense. He pretty much plays the whole game, even with a broken arm. He's done so good this season and if they win their game tomorrow they will be playing for the championship next week, so I thought I'd put a picture of Blake's pumpkin on here too. I wish I knew how to put video on because I got some awesome video at his last game of him catching an interception and running it down for a touchdown. He's super fast. We had a really fun time together carving pumpkins. I learned that two of my brothers are big wussy's and didn't want to clean the pumpkins out because the inside is gross. (Don't worry guys, the little girls and I took care of it) Halle, Haden, and Bailee were having so much fun carving pumpkins. My mom made taco soup and yummy breadsticks that she shaped like bones for Halloween. We missed the Fryer family though. Hopefully they will live in Utah again sometime soon. We don't see them enough. I hope you all have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Projects

My other two projects.

Our House!!

It's been forever since I've had a chance to post anything. We moved in to our first house the last week of June, and I swear, I will never finish unpacking. Here are a few of the rooms in our house. I didn't take a picture of a few bedrooms, because they still just have boxes in them. Also, the pictures of decorations are just a few of my latest projects. It's always been my goal to become crafty. I'm really trying. I really need decorating help though! If you have any ideas, please let me know! For Austin and I, we are just both working all the time, and Austin is going to Weber State. We stay pretty busy, but are lucky enough to get to see each other quite a bit, and we do still get a chance to go out with friends. No babies yet, everyone thinks since we've been married a year that we should have a child, but there isn't a baby in the picture until about 2011 at the earliest!

Alaska

Alaskann Cruise/Canada

So it's been forever since I last posted anything. In June Austin and I went on a cruise with some of his siblings and their spouse's and it was awesome!! We got to go whale watching, and zip lining, and we were just able to see how beautiful Alaska is. We were very surprised when we got there to find that it was 80 degrees!! We did not pack for warm weather at all. Luckily I threw in a few t-shirts for us. I was thinking I'd need sweaters and winter coats. It was really fun though, everyone in Alaska kept telling us how lucky we were to have come when we did, because it is never that warm there. It was 80 degrees everyday that we were there. I'd never been on a cruise before, but I think they are my new favorite vacations. It was awesome, we got to be good friends with one of the employees on the ship and every time we saw him he would smile at us and make comments about french toast, because that's what we ate every morning and he was the one who always served us. We also got to check out Seattle the first day, which was really fun too.

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

I'm a few days late, but Austin and I had our 1 year anniversary on May 16. I can't believe it's already been a whole year. It's gone so fast, it feels like it was just last week. Everybody always says the 1st year is the hardest, but I feel like it was a great year. We still haven't even had a major fight. We get along so well and are just getting ready to buy a house, which is a little scary but I can't wait! For our anniversary we started the morning off by going to see a few houses, then maddox for lunch, a movie, and then a BBQ with some friends that night. It was a wonderful day!!!! I love you Austin!

Avery Mae Garner

Baby Avery

Here is the newest addition to the Shane Garner Family. Avery Mae Garner was born March 23,2009. She weighed 6lbs. 12 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. Her big brother and sisters are SO excited that she's finally here.

Happy Birthday Big Sister

Happy Birthday Shannon!!! I hate having you guys live so far away, especially on your birthdays. I hope you have a good day though. I'm so lucky to have you as my only sister. I Love You!! Miss you all. Hope they spoil you. (I wanted to do it on your birthday, but I will be at work all day, so it's a day early)

It's been forever.

I'm sorry it's been so long. I got the lead teller position at work so I work full time now and Saturday is my only day off, well except Sunday but I don't think that counts. Anyway, my saturdays are full of laundry and cleaning. I'll post some pictures when we actually do something fun where picture taking is involved. Just wanted to let you all know I am still alive ha ha
