6 Months!

How crazy is that!? 

6 months of marriage has flown by and it has been incredible! I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband!

To celebrate 6 months married&Christmas...we bought a wii! 

Look at that sexy black Wii! 

Of course...pink controller for me! 

We kind of celebrated on the Saturday when we bought the Wii, then we went to the mall, then I helped Travis study for a test and then we went back to the mall and saw the new movie Immortals. I loved it! It was very gory, and I don't think I would recommend it to many people...Anyways! For Sunday dinner, I decided I would try out a pinterest recipe...which turned out super good!! 

Crockpot Hawaiian chicken:

-Spray crockpot with PAM for easy clean up

-Throw in a couple of FROZEN chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

-Throw in a can of drained pineapple

-1/4 cup of soy sauce

-1tsp brown sugar

-I poured Sweet chili sauce over the whole thing and sprinkled some red pepper flakes for a kick!

-Cook on low for 5 hours, serve over rice

-*I shredded my chicken just before serving by throwing it in my kitchen aid and mixing it up! Worked like a charm!

Love crockpot meals on sunday! Then the apartment smells SO yummy after church! 

Its not a celebration without sparkling juice and candles! 

I even managed to get our Christmas cards all ready! Pictures just needed to be printed off and put in the envelopes! If you are lucky enough...you might even get one! Here is the preview!

Reunited!

Here is the story...

A few weeks after I started work, I started getting a rash from my wedding rings. I thought this was pretty weird so I started doing some research and thought maybe some moisture got trapped under my rings and caused a rash.Then I was thinking maybe since now I'm working and washing my hands a million times a day, I had just simply dried out my hands and putting on my rings after work caused the rash.

Since there is not a store where Travis got my ring in Medicine Hat, we took it in to Lethbridge to see what they could do.

Apparently when you get a ring, it is supposed to be coated with something...anyways, mine wasn't and combined with dry hands and a slight allergic reaction (My sister has always reacted to silver and gold...so I guess I must be a little allergic too!) my rings needed to be sent off.

Not wearing my wedding rings for 2 weeks was an interesting experience. First off, it made me sad, because I love my rings! Secondly I felt like a heathen. Every time Travis and I went out to dinner or to the movies, people would look at his wedding ring...and then notice I didn't have one on.

Anyways! I got my rings back and they have never been shinier! I am so glad I no longer have to fear those looks anymore!!

Yay December!

The reason I say YAY about December is because I have so many things to be excited for! This month is going to be insane! Here are the reasons why (in order)

#1. My birthday is on the 16th! I am so excited to turn 19! (Not that anything is really too exciting about getting old!)

#2. Travis's younger brother, Jesse will return from his mission on the 20th! I have never met Jesse, as he has been in Australia for the past 2 years! Should be interesting!

#3. Christmas parties. Enough said.

#4. Trip to Fairmont with the Johnsons. I'm sure my husband will try to get me to snowboard the whole time...but I am sure the whole family shall have a splendid time together!

#5. CHRISTMAS! First christmas married! Should be interesting going back and forth between family events!

#6. Boxing day shopping!

#7. Trip with the Binnings! Heading down to San Diego for my cousin's wedding, Seaworld and a CRUISE! I am so excited to get my tan on! Plus cruises are the BEST. This will Travis's first cruise...he has no idea how awesome it is going to be!!

After all of that excitement...it'll be back to Medicine Hat to work!
Work has been great for me so far! It's nice having something productive to keep me busy! It also helps I work with great ladies!

Bring on the holidays! I have all my gifts wrapped and ready! (Well...except for Travis. But finding him a gift is too stressful, so I told him I'm not getting him anything! We don't really need anything anyways! So hopefully we find something great to buy on boxing day or in the states!) I also have all my christmas cards written out and ready to roll....just waiting to add a picture!
