Disneyland

This past week Mark and I were able to go to the Happiest Place on Earth. We had a BLAST! As always, it was so good to be able to spend time together. What a blessing it has been to be able to spend the past two years of marriage together. I love you Mark!

Favorite Time of Year!

Mark and I just LOVE this time of year! There is nothing better than the smell of fireplaces, watching the trees change color, and drinking hot chocolate. As Halloween and Thanksgiving are both around the corner, Mark and I have really counted our many blessings. We have been blessed with so much in our lives and we know that the Lord has His Hand in all that we have. Life has been crazy as always. Work Work Work. It is so nice when we get to spend time together. Here are just a couple things what we have done lately

We went to the fair awhile ago with some friends. We had so much fun. It was nice getting to spend the time together.

We also carved pumpkins. Mark loves Halloween so he goes all out on the pumpkin carving thing. I will let you guess who's pumpkin in who's.

Why I Went to College!

Well so much has been going on in the Watts household. Life has just been crazy, like always. I just thought that I would update our life. Mark and I are taking advantage of both of us not being in school. This is the very first time since we were dating that at least one of us is not in school. We are both currently working. Mark is still working at the local grocery store here in Rexburg. Although it is not his dream job, it is an awesome job to have while going to school.

I just got a NEW TEACHING JOB!!!!! YAY!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I am currently teaching PE at Hillview Elementary school! I could not ask for a better job. I never thought I would love being in the elementary level as much as I do. I majored in Health Education with a minor in Physical Education, so I am supposed to be able to teach 6-12 grade. I ended up taking 1 extra class that certified me to teach at the elementary level, and I am so glad that I did.

Here are a copule of pictures from the first week of school!

Our View

Mark and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary this past week. We had so much fun. We went up to Park City, Utah. It was BEAUTIFUL and the weather was perfect. Mark got us a 5 star condo to stay in, and wow we got treated like royalty! It was so much fun getting to sped time together. These past two years have been the best years of my life. I can't imagine my life without Mark. The Lord has blessed us with so much in these past two years. We know that His hand has been in our marriage since day one. How grateful we are to be sealed in the temple and to know that our marriage is forever.

Day Off

After going down the Snake River

Moving Right Along

See ya!

BEAUTIFUL Idaho. This is the river we went down.

I knew I bought this car for a reason! The XTERRA lives for this kind of stuff!

Mark and I actually had a day off together. This NEVER happens. We usually work opposite days so it was so nice to be able to spend time together. Today Mark and I went Canoeing down the Snake River. We started at Warm Slough and ended up at Beaver Dick Park. We had such a blast. It was so peaceful out there, just us and nature. It took about 4 hours to get to the bottom. Here are some pictures of our fun filled day together.

Independence Day

After Setting all the Fireworks Off

One Firework Going Off

Some of the fireworks we had

First we want to say thank you to all those who have served and continue to serve our country to keep us free and safe. How grateful we are to live here in the United States on American soil, were we are able to make our own decisions as we strive to live the American Dream. We are grateful for our Founding Fathers who wrote the beautiful constitution. We are grateful for the rights we have as an American citizen. We love this country and are grateful to know the Lord has blessed us with this nation.

Mark and I had a such a fun 4th of July. This year we did something a little different. Instead of going to a firework show we decided to do our own firework show. I have never set of fireworks before so I was a little nervous about it. We had a blast! Although I missed watching a firework show, we will continue this tradition of setting off fireworks for years and years to come.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I hope that we can continue to remember those serving to keep the freedoms we know have. I hope we can continue to live the American Dream. God Bless America!

Memorial Day Fun

Well I know that this is late again but this week has just been super crazy but I still wanted to post about our day together. Mark and I have not been able to spend the day together in so long. I work Mon- Thursday. I usually get caught up on house stuff on Fri and Sat while Mark is at work those days. Since there was no school on Monday we decided to go golfing. Mark had never been before and we had a BLAST! Here are a few pictures for you to see. We are looking forward to the end of summer and early fall. It will be the first time since we have been dating or married that both of us will not be in school so there will be many more days ahead filled with fun like this one was.
