Well, now's as good a time to catch up as ever, I suppose.
Quite a few things have happened in the (sorry!) 3+ months since I've written. Lets see... I've cut Ryan's hair twice now by myself- and I did it with a pair of sewing scissors!! I know, I'm amazing. Look how it turned out!
Before:
After:
Ryan and I spent our first Christmas together up here in Rexburg. It was beautiful. We were going to go down to Monticello, but Ryan couldn't get off work.
I didn't have a lot of Christmas decorations at first, but my wonderful sister and mom sent me a few things, and I was able to make something of my own! Ryan helped me develop the idea. But take a look at this!- our very own fireplace!!
Santa's got to have SOMEWHERE to come down, doesn't he? Anyway, we like it. Although, come to think of it, I still haven't gotten around to making the fire..... oh, well. We've enjoyed it, keeping it up even now (until we move). Which reminds me- Ryan and I will be moving to North Carolina probably the last week in April. Wow. (These last few months have flown by). We're going to go down to Mom and Dad's in Monticello for a couple weeks first before we leave. We'll move out of our apartment the first week in April. Wow.But anyway, back to Christmas, it was really neat to have that first Christmas together just the two of us, and then Mom and Dad got to come visit us a couple days later!! We loved it!!
The first week in January, Ryan and I found out that we were pregnant. What a glorious thing! We were very excited for this new little addition to our family (To me it seemed quite unreal at first...)
We were very happy about it. However, a couple weeks later, when it was about 5 weeks along, we miscarried. It was very sad, but this is nature's way of dealing with things, and we will have a family someday..
In the meantime, I am enjoying spending my time with my Ry-Guy.
Also, about a week before Christmas I started working at Deseret Industries. I worked in clothing production and met a lot of wonderful people. How I will miss them....
I stopped working there about a week and a half ago so as to get some needed things done before we move.
In the middle of February Ryan and I went down to Monticello for my Dad's surprise birthday bash. It was so fun to be able to spend time with family. We love you Dad!
I wanted to upload a video of when we went hooky-bobbing, but the dang computer wouldn't let me, so here's a couple pictures instead:
Fun, huh?
Some other exciting things that have been happening:
I finished Harry Potter!! That's right, I finished the 7th book!! Woo-hoo!! What a fun series! I'm so glad I got to read it. Thank you Ry-Guy, for everything, and for being patient with me! I love you.
Also, after almost 6 months of marriage, we finally drove to Idaho Falls and got my name changed!!! ;) That's right, now I'm officially Kayla Rachele Allen. :) Ryan also dropped me off at Kohl's where I took a couple hours and used my gift card that he'd given me for Christmas to buy some cute clothes. :) Thanks, Love! You're the best!
And last of all but not least, today (March 5th), is Ryan and I's 6- month anniversary!! Wow, time flies. How grateful I am for my wonderful husband. I love you, hon! Happy (6-month) Anniversary!
