I know it's been forever since I have last updated, and so there is a lot to say! I'm sure that everyone has already heard this, but Josh is joining the Marines, and so we have moved back to good old Medford, Oregon so he can begin training each week with them. He will then be leaving in September for boot camp, and won't be back until a few days before Christmas. During which time, I will be living back at home with my parents.

So the last few months have been crazy!!! We have travelled back and forth between Provo and Medford at least 5 times for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then the big move, and now here we are! :D Here are a bunch of pictures from the things that we have been doing lately...

This is a sweet cake that Jordyn, Josh's sister, bought for Josh's 22nd birthday on December 15th. Josh had a fun time cutting it in half with a butcher's knife :D

We had a surprise birthday party for Josh the Saturday before his Birthday. I was so excited because he was actually surprised!!! Usually, it's almost impossible to shock him at all. Camilla, Austin, and Jordyn all couldn't make it, but David, James, and our friends Melissa and Robert we able to come.

It snowed like crazy in Provo, and so I was really excited and took pictures. :) This is looking out our bedroom window, and the other one is off of our balcony.

Here's our Christmas tree!!

Josh and I had a blast decorating it and feeling all festive. And yes, I know it's a bit crooked, but we loved it anyway!

I was trying to make snowflakes, and of course Josh began messing around and making various masks and glasses. He's funny that way :D

It was really nice one day in Provo, and so Josh and I went minature golfing and then got shakes.

Here is Josh acting like he's the King of Golfing.

We went on a walk one day, and decided to take pictures in front of the Provo Temple.

Okay, Josh decided to wait in line for a book signing for the newest Wheel of Time book. He waited from 6 am until midnight at the BYU bookstore so he could get the first copy sold in the USA and get it signed. It turned out that a few guys had camped out overnight, and so he only got the fourth copy. lol The line for the book signing was crazy long, and this pic only shows about a third of it.

Since Rober Jordan, the original author of the Wheel of Time series, died recently, an author named Branden Sanderson took over to finish the series, and so he was the one to sign the book for Josh. (I was actually there too, so I got to meet him as well!)

I had joined up with Josh later that day, and continued coming back and forth because I had classes and work and couldn't stay the whole time.

So that's basically what life has been like the last few months. Right now we are living in my parents upstairs spare room (sounds like paradise right? lol) until we can afford to rent an apartment of our own. Luckily, after Josh has finished all his training for the Marines, the military will pay for our housing, food, health care, dental care, and for movers to pack up for us, which will be amazing. But while we are waiting for September, life is going to be pretty difficult!
