Super Fun DATES with my hubby xoxo

So I wanted to blog about some dates Dean and I have been going on because I think THEY HAVE BEEN SO FUN!!!

First, last Friday Dean came home and said he had a date idea, I said okay. We each got 5 dollars and we had to go shopping on the dollar menu for dinner. We decided to go to several resturants. First we went to McDonalds and got a Hamburger and Ice Cream Sunday to share, and then we went to Taco Bell and got a Beef Gordita, a Bean Burrito, chips and a drink to share. Last we went to Wendy's and got a Hamburger and Fries to share. It all costs a total of $9.5o something cents. It was SO fun we had a great time chatting and picking out what we wanted most on the dollar menu.

Second was Valentines Day It was a GREAT DAY! I got up that morning and made pancakes, pineapple slices, and milk. Then I gave Dean his present, (2 passes to the rec center and candy) :) xoxo. Then he headed off to work and we met up for lunch where Dean gave me some of my favorite candies. After lunch I went home and waited for Dean so we could go out to dinner at Johny Carinos. So Dean got home from work and he walked in with a dozen pink roses (They are pictured below) (pink roses are my favorite!) They smell SO good!

After I got my BEAUTIFUL flowers we headed out to dinner and had a great time.

The last date I wanted to talk about was the one we had tonight. I have been really wanting Sushi and we made some when we were in Arizona so we decided to make it again! YUM is ALL I have to say!

Doesn't it look good?

Good Job Dean! He rolled this one : )

It was a California Roll with Spicy Mayo!
After dinner we went to the coach and talked. It was SO fun to just be able to sit there and chat. Dean has been working some LONG hours so I don't get to see him more then a couple of hours at night if that. (besides the times I take him lunch). I am SO grateful for the time I get to spend with him and I appreciate how hard he is working to make his business grow! He is amazing and I feel to lucky to have him as my husband! LOvE you Dean!

What we have been up to...

This last month we Moved from Chandler Arizona to Meridian Idaho. Dean was finished with his work at the Edward Jones Head Quarters and they placed him in an office in Eagle Idaho. We found an apartment about 20 minutes from there in Meridian Idaho. We are getting settled in and I am beginning to look for a job.

Below are a few pictures over the last month. My parents flew down to AZ to help us drive vehicles and move back. So when they were there we took them to a few places.

One was this Pizza place and the whole inside room is an Organ. This guy played the organ while we ate, it wasn't just the organ but it was more like an orchestra. It was Awesome!

Some of the pipes.

Mom getting some pictures with Arizona scenery.
Dad had to get in on it too. This was outside of a HUGE Bass Pro Shop!
The week after we got back to Idaho it was my Dad's Birthday. So we went to a Japanese Habchi grill. Where they cook the food in front of you. It was a lot of fun and good to see the family.
The last pictures for today are of Dean's NEW OFFICE! It is still so exciting!

We are very excited for this new adventure and that we are in the next step of our lives.

A GREAT DAY TOGETHER!!!

Dean and I both Had Monday off in observance to New Years and we realized it was probably the last day we had free, to do what we wanted in Arizona. Because we will be moving soon. So Dean heard of the Apache Trail it is a sight seeing drive. I have really been wanting some pictures to remind us of Arizona. SO we went on this drive and it was amazing!

Below are the pictures we took along the way.

Look how tall the Catus is.

Lake in the Middle of no where.

Close to the beginning of our drive we saw this Ghost town so on our way home we stopped by. It was really cool. We also loved it cause we got Ice Cream!

One of the last pictures I really wanted was of palm trees. So I had Dean stop at a parking lot so I could take the picture Below : )

Being in Arizona has been so fun. We have been on many adventures, have enjoyed spending time together, and we have learned a lot.

Happy NeW YeAR!

For New Years Eve this year we went over to our friends the Childs and we played games, ate yummy food, and lit off a few fireworks!

Dean and I outside ready for Fireworks!

Dean Loving the sparkler. Well he loves anything with fire actually!

Chase and Amy Child! Amy giving Chase a New Years Kiss.

Thanks Amy and Chase for inviting us over it was a lot of fun! Hope everyone has a great New Year!

Our Christmas WeeKend!

Well Dean and I both got a four day weekend so we made the most of it. Friday we went to Dean's cousin's Brandon's house and seen family, Some that Dean hasn't seen for Years! So it was so nice to see and meet them!

Here is a picture of the clan.

After we left Brandon's house we ran by where the Phoenix Temple is being built and I snapped a few shots of it. Here they are...

Then we went to our Bishop's house and had a Chrismas party.

Saturday we cleaned and ran some errands and then went to Texas Road House to Celebrate Dean's Birthday as a couple! Yum!!!

Sunday (Christmas) was a great day! We are truly blessed! Below are the Christmas cards we received this year and I feel so loved! Thank you everyone for making us feel special!

Christmas morning we got up and unwrapped presents. (You can kind of see our tree between our heads) hahaha

Then went to Church, our bishopric spoke and the spirit was so strong! After Church we came home. Ate Papa Murphies Pizza that we bought the night before, and played with our presents!

Ok Dean didn't really get to play with his cause they were golf clubs as you can see but...

I played with mine a lot. My Keyboard!

Chrismas was so great! I was a lot of fun, and Very relaxing. I have to admit I even liked eating Pizza on Christmas! It was also great because we got to talk to my Brother Daniel and Dean's Sister Rachel who are both on their missions! I miss them a lot but they both are doing great and are learning and growing! It was SO good to hear their voices.

Monday (Today) we went to the driving range so Dean could break his clubs in. I had a lot of fun watching and spending time with him.

After the Driving range we went to War Horse a new movie out. It was good, a little different then we thought be we still like it. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Well this last week has been so amazing, I have got to see family and spend some quality time with Dean. It was awesome and much needed. Work and life have been really busy for us lately. So we really enjoy when we can be together all day for a few days! I love Dean with all my heart and am so grateful for all of his hard work! Thank you sweetie for all that you do for me! You are the BEST!
