On Our Own...

So, we finally have our own place! We moved this past weekend into the casita (or cottage, as me and Cameron are calling it) in Natalie and Jason's backyard. It's pretty little, but we love it! I think that as soon as we get all our things unpacked and organized, it'll be perfect for us. We're so grateful to the Peck's for letting us stay in their house these past few months, but we're glad to be in our own home with all our furniture and decorations in it. We really felt like this is where Heavenly Father wants us to be, and we're so glad we made this decision.

It's funny, me and Cameron have been saying that we feel like we're roughing it and that we're spoiled all at once. It's a pretty small place and we're having to make a lot of adjustments, but there are a lot of perks to the cottage too! We have satellite TV with DVR for one, and we don't have to shout across the house to each other all the time. It takes much less energy to cool this house, so we're not sweating all the time, and we get to play with Kolsen and Callie whenever we want! :) These past few days have been so great, we're really looking forward to spending the next few months here until we can afford to buy our own house. Thanks for putting up with us, Natalie and Jason!

I don't really have a lot of time to update the blog because I work all day, so I never posted our campout pictures! Better late than never though, right? We got a new camera a few days before the campout, so I was having a LOT of fun taking pictures. :) Here are a few of our favorites:

Me and Cameron in front of "The World's Largest Kokopelli" in Camp Verde. We felt like such tourists...I spilled some Jones soda in the car on the way up. And this is Cameron, cleaning up after me. :) He's such a good husband....and this is me, covered in soda.Kolsen: "don't mess with my cheese stick."

I finally gave in...

Alright everyone, I finally gave in to this whole "blogging" thing. So... welcome! Cameron and I got married on January 5th, and we are loving the "married life". Right now we're actually house-sitting for an older couple in our ward who went on a mission. It's nice to be able to save money right away, but the house feels a little big for just two people!! It's great though, because we're in the same ward as a lot of our family, so we get to spend a lot of time with them.

Our life is pretty simple right now... I have a job in the billing department of a physical therapy office, and Cameron's going to nursing school and doing a few landscape jobs a month. We love living so close to both our families and getting to see all the nieces and nephews, we love spending time with them!

Well, I hope you enjoy our blog, and just bear with me for a little while, I know it's not pretty yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to customize everything. Have a great day!
