Well it has been quite a while since there has been an update on Jake and I. So here it is...
First, we got back from our FANTASTIC honeymoon, and finished moving in to our new apartment! It is kind of small, but WAY cute! And we both did a good job at decorating it! (Although there are a lot less walls than we thought!) We had our reception here and of course got more things!! We got through all our gifts and still are waiting on our thank you cards so we can send those out...(SORRY GUYS!!) We still also have to go through pictures so we can get some more for the cute frames we got!
For our honeymoon we went to the Caribbean! It was BEAUTIFUL! I was so in love with it all! We went to Cayaman Islands, Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan Honduras. (My favorite was the last one!) But I really did love them all! We swam with stingrays and dolphins, we went kayaking in Belize, fourwheeling to mayan caves in cozumel, and of course enjoyed ALL the beaches!!!! They were all so beautiful! The water in Honduras was the best though! The shopping in Mexico was so much fun! They were all gorgeous lands with the NICEST people ever! Honestly, if you ever have the chance to go, DO IT! DO NOT pass it up! It is so amazing! The boat was fun too! We had medicine so we didn't get seasick, and even though we spent a lot of time on the boat, they had fun things for us to do and lots of food! We mostly slept and ate on the boat! Haha. But they have movies on TV all the time too! I really really enjoyed it and would definitely LOVE to go on another!
It was fun having my family out here too! They stayed for a little less than a week, but got to see where I live, go to school, and got to spend time with me! I really enjoyed it a lot! We went shopping, out to eat, and went through pictures of the reception in NJ. I can't wait till they come again!Jake is working for his dad still. Not taking any classes, but depending on how much money we get saved up he just may start a few online classes this summer, and then starts school full time again in the fall. He doesn't enjoy getting up at 5:30am, but he does it. (So do I!) He works all day and is home by 6:00pm (ish) and then lays down for the rest of the night, except to eat dinner. He is still deciding on what he wants to actually go into when he is done with school at BYU-I. Pharmaceutical school has come up a few times now.
As you all know, not only did Valentines Day pass, but so did my BIRTHDAY!! Yes yes, I am officially 20 now, NOT a teenager anymore! Finally. Haha. It was a good day. It was a Sunday, so Jake and I woke up and layed in bed for a while. He gave me my birthday present (CONCERT TICKETS TO BRITNEY SPEARS and the PUSSYCAT DOLLS!!!!!!!!!) I am SO way excited to go to that!! I love Britney! Haha. I know, I know! But I do!!! The concert isn't actually until April, so I get to celebrate my birthday twice this year! WOOHOO!! After that we went to church, then just relaxed at home for a bit. We went over to his parents house and his mom had a cake for me and a present. It was cute. My new nieces and nephews came over, so I blew out my candles twice. Trey (Heathers son) had picked out a chocolate rose and some rings for me! It was cute. (He even gave one rose to JJ to give to me!) It was a good birthday!! :)
As for me now, I am just going to school, working the FEW hours my job gives me, and sitting at home trying to get some things organized. I get quite bored during the days though. I sell MaryKay now though, although my director is VERY pushy, and so I am not enjoying it that much! Oh well. I am looking for a new job because I get very few crappy hours at the restaurant I work at, and so I am kind of tired of that. But as you all know, job searching is NOT fun or easy! I babysit Trey and Tessa Monday and Wednesday nights (sometimes) so Heather can get some more hours there. Since she serves and I am just a host it is easier for her to get some than me, but still not easy! Tuesday and Thursday nights I go to Rexburg for my 2 hour Church History class. The teacher is HILARIOUS! He is a good family friend of Jakes family, so I have met him before, and knew he was funny, but in this class he really makes me laugh! And he keeps my attention so I actually learn things! Which is NOT easy when it comes to school/church. I am also taking an online class, which isn't too bad. The test taking just gives me some troubles! But next semester I am going to take some more classes and hopefully I won't take too long to get my schooling done with so I can just start teaching!!!
This last weekend Jake and I went to Utah with his parents. His cousin got married and so we were invited to go to the temple ceremony and everything. It was very nice. Although, and I don't mean this rudely, the guy doing the ceremony, when he was talking, he kept talking about death and funerals, and malaria! It was kinda creepy! But when he didn't talk about that stuff it was very good. I nudged Jake a few times to remind him that "I am number one now, not him!" Haha. It was way fun! It was nice to see a ceremony and actually know what is going on, instead of just wanting it to get over with so I could be married! Which I could tell his cousin felt the same way! I am glad we got to go!
