Holy crap its May!

That means only 3 more months till Derek leaves for Basic Training. For those who didn't know Derek joined the Army back in Febuary. He is enlisted for the next 4 years as 91 Bravo a.k.a. Wheeled Vehicle Mechanics. I am thrilled for him and know he will make an awesome soldier. As for me I am excited to start our new adventure as an Army Wife :).

Its been awhile since I have blogged. So, here is an update. In March we played around with family and celebrated my 23rd birthday. We went to buffalo Wild Wings and had a wonderful time. Needless to say my wonderful husband spoiled me like crazy :)




Then came April,

In April we celebrated Easter with some friends in our ward. Carmen and Ryan Walters. Also another military family which is super nice to know I have such great support in our ward. We also got the chance to see some of my family for a bit and then head over to Dereks parents.

We also enjoyed conference and with the privilage of having Derek home to watch it. Derek got laid off shortly after he joined the Army and had to find another job. His old job had him working all day on Saturdays and now his new job he works Monday-Thursday with 10 hour days which is super nice..

We also got the chance to go on our first vacation! We kept it simple so we went down to Las Vegas for a few days!

On our way there

St. George Temple

It was really bright


Our awesome "Billings" sign that we got on the way at Moapa Indian Res

 Finally shopping around

It was Dereks first time

The cokes from around the world. The Beverly from Italy was nasty!

On top of the stratosphere where we stayed

The fountains

Needless to say we had a blast. We seriously grew so close on our trip and it was awesome. May is going to be interesting. We are both working tons which is good so we can save and pay off debt but we honestly wont be seeing much of each other because of that. Anyways that is all for now :)
