Tyler's 23 on 23!

Most importantly, it was Tyler's 23 birthday on Friday! Boy, did we have fun! Mitch, Emily, Beth and Derek all made a special visit to help Tyler celebrate! Mitch and Emily were here all we and we got a lot of time to enjoy with them! Beth and Derek got here Thursday when we had an early cake and ice cream party! Tyler's family gave him Super Mario Galaxy Wii game. It's fun and he already really likes it! I got him a new Ipad case that works much better than the last one! My family got him The Fast and Furious movies #1-4.  Here's a picture of the loot!



The next day my mom and younger siblings came down! We rode the Frontrunner Train from Ogden to Salt Lake where we visited Temple square and saw the lights!



We went back to the place where Tyler proposed 1 yr ago! And YES! I was FREEZING! 
Then we had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas Eve and Christmas day! We are very blessed to have families to spend time with! Christmas is a wonderful time. I am grateful Jesus was born and that He died for us! We should worship and remember Him ALL year and keep a special place in our hearts open just for Him.
Merry Christmas!
Until next time....

6 Months!

Well, as of tomorrow, Tyler and I will have been married 6 months! It's been quite the fun ride! We both have done and grown alot together! Tyler worked full time while taking classes and just finished Fall Semester! It was his hardest so far! He also got a job promotion shortly after we were married! I have done a lot too, I got to read a lot of books in 6 months, I made my very own applesauce and strawberry jam(with some help of course!) and I recently got a job. We have both been busy, but best of all we have grown closer! We are still learning how to have a good relationship and have the utmost unselfishness. Can't explain how much I love my Tyler. I am grateful for all he is and all he help me become!
I also wanted to take this opportunity to explain Tyler and Chyanne's story. Don't worry, I'll keep it short.
We met Fall semester 2010. We met through a friend Isaac Potter. He and Tyler served in the same mission. Isaac and I, well, dated a bit. I remember the first time we met and how attractive I thought Tyler was, especially in hat( I have a thing for guys in hats). We quickly became friends because he is so funny! We began to spend more and more time together. I liked having a new friend! (unbeknownst to me he had an agenda!) On our first date we went out to eat at Winger's in  Rexburg. Later we went to the Nature Park and just talked.  Neither of us can explain how at ease we were with each other and what a wonderful time we had just talking! Honestly the best date I ever had! We quickly moved from there! Like turned to love and we were engaged Dec. 22, 2010. We went to Salt Lake Temple Square where we danced to our song. He got down on one knee and said all the right sweet nothings. I may or may not have hit the boy because he carried the ring for a month before he proposed and made me so sure it would be much later the next year! Soon after we were engaged I went to Boise, Idaho for student teaching and he back to Rexburg for another semester. It was hard and honestly sucked, but we are stronger for it. We learned to better communicate and listen to each other. We were lucky to get MANY visits. Below are many pictures of our time together.
This was very early on when Mitch and Tyler bought bull whips to play with!

We love where we've come from and we're excited for where we're going! We can't deny that God has a hand in our lives! He leads us where He needs us and teaches us along the way! 
Merry Christmas until next time....
