Update!

Hello Everyone! Sorry it has been so long since we have posted a new post. We have been so crazy busy the last few months. First exciting thing is we finally bought a house, after four months of trying we were able to successfully buy a house! (Pictures to come soon after I fix it up a little bit more). We are absolutely loving our house and our neighborhood everyone is so friendly and welcoming. After two weeks of being in our new ward they put us right to work, they called both Derek and I into the Activities committee then about a month ago they gave us new callings. I am the Activities Chairperson and Derek is in the Young Mens Presidency as the Second Counselor. I haven't done much with my calling yet but Derek is absolutely loving his. He had to give his first lesson yesterday and he said it really well and that he loves teaching. Derek and I both started school again in January and we are both going back to our original degrees, Derek is thinking about going back to communications and I am going back to Interior Design. I love this semester it has been really good. We are back to going to school during the morning which is better for me because I focus better. About two weeks before we moved into our new house we bought a new puppy for Rudi to have a friend with at our new house. He is very cute, he is a mix we think he is a Dauchen Terrier Mix. His name is Patches because he has one paw that is white. Here is a picture of him.

In a couple of weeks, Derek and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary of being married! We are so excited to celebrate this happy day and can not believe that we are already celebrating it. We have had a wonderful year full of ups and downs but most of all we have grown so much as a couple. I am so grateful for him in my life and I am not sure where I would be if I didn't have him in my life. He is so amazing and has made me a better person and I have had a better life with him. I am not sure what we are doing for our year so it will be a surprise but I will post about it. Well I think that is about it for now. More to come, I promise I will update more ;)
