Happy 7 years to my Forever Boyfriend!

This day 7 years ago, Russ took me to Fazzoli's (breadsticks, yum) and he asked me to be his girlfriend. We were "official" and have been ever since!

Scanned pics from 2003 and 2004

2005 - Sorry it's tiny, I like that we're wearing the same shirt. :)

It has been such an amazing journey - dating, high school, college, engagement, marriage and moving to New Mexico.

I can't wait to see what the future holds!

First Anniversary Photos

We found a photographer in Los Alamos who we thought would capture some nice pics of us for our first anniversary and our new life in New Mexico.


Thanks for the dress, Mom!


This is actually a really dirty, back parking lot. Haha.


Love him!


This is in front of the the Post Office, which is the first building Russ and I went into in Los Alamos when we visited before moving.


This one is my favorite!

Anniversary Weekend

Friday: We were both off work. :) We relaxed, watched the Tour de France, relaxed some more and did a little laundry.

Please ignore the crazy curl sticking out of my head, my hair has a mind of its own, haha.

That evening we drove to Albuquerque to have a nice dinner and see the national tour of "Beauty and the Beast." This is my favorite Disney movie and I've seen the musical on tour twice.  I love it!

Unfortunately, Google Maps took us to the wrong side of town and we ended up 40 minutes late to the show. 

It was alright but we missed one of the funniest songs ; Gaston asking Belle to marry him. :) Here's another of my favorites! It's Belle singing right after she become the Beast's prisoner, it's beautiful.


Saturday: We chilled. 

And watched the Tour de France.

And Russ played Ratchet and Clank while I read "The Shack." (I cannot recommend this book enough.  If anyone would like to discuss it, I'm your woman. :)


Sunday: Our First Anniversary! Russ did an Olympic distance triathlon.


We got up at 4 am to leave by 5 am for Cochiti Lake. We brought the dogs and while Russ was stretching in the bed of the truck, Roxy got to be his look-out. 


Here all the racers are gathering for the 1500 meter swim to start.


Russ biking onto the 40 K course.  He said that this was a great ride, not as many hills and steep inclines as Los Alamos.


The dogs and I went to the truck while Russ was biking.


I think getting up at 4 am made them tired.


Here he is finishing the 10 K run. He did the race in 2 hours and 31 minutes.


Third place in his age group! (He would have placed in the age group above him, too!)


She thinks she's a lap dog....


When we got home, it was time for the infamous wedding cake.  Russ was not enthused. He loves cake, especially wedding cake, and freezing it for an entire year was a terrible idea in his opinion.


He ate it anyway. :) The frosting didn't freeze well and fell of the cake almost as soon as we cut into it but the cake tasted good. 

We went and saw "Despicable Me" after that and ended up receiving one of our tickets for free! We were the 50th customer and that was the prize. Awesome! (Also, this movie is very cute and funny.)

Yay being married a year!

It's been a year and what a year it has been!


We've been married a year!


Looking back, it's gone by so quickly.


But there were moments when it felt like forever!


Wedding after-party. (No, I have no idea what I was telling him, I just think the face I'm making is funny.)


We went to Universal Studios, proving that we're kids through and through. :)


Swam with dolphins.


Ate lots of delicious food.


We braved the Oklahoma City Christmas blizzard and managed to spend ample amounts of time with both of our families. :)


Took lot of smiley pictures.


Spent Easter with both families.


Russ spent all year commuting from OKC to Stillwater to school and graduation was a very sweet moment..


We took several photos with the ALF, which Russ helped re-build throughout college.


We moved to Los Alamos, NM for his awesome first job.

Both of our families came to visit and we enjoyed showing them around our new home.


It's been a year!
