Catching Up!

A month and a half has passed since I last wrote anything. So here goes nothing...

Lights in Rupert: (The night after Thanksgiving) Every year they light up the park in the middle of the square (basically their downtown) in Rupert. We got there just after they had lit up but right before they started the fireworks.




Thanksgiving: We spent Thanksgiving here in Burley with Cody's family. All of his brothers and their families and his sister and her husband came. It was a lot of people, a lot of kids, and a lot of fun. Cody and I made little turkeys out of candy. This one is named Happy Feet.

Every year the women do some kind of craft and the men do something with the kids to give them that time. This year they hooked up the three buggies to a tractor and gave all the kids and men a ride.





Cody's Birthday: Cody used to play the piano when he was younger but hasn't played in a long time. He kept saying he really wanted a keyboard but we could do that for our Christmas present to each other. But I surprised him with it for his birthday instead. The surprised was ruined when it came 2 weeks before his birthday in a large TALL box...




Attempted Bread: One afternoon I decided that I wanted to make some cinnamon rolls. Well lets just say our house isn't warm enough to even let bread raise on the counters. I put the dough in the oven on low with the door open to let it raise. It ended up cooking half of the bread. We pulled out the middle dough that was still usable and attempted to still make it work.



Halloween: We went on a double date with a friend of Cody's from his ward growing up. We went to a corn maze and then out to dinner at Johnny Carino's.
We went to Kasota Park, where the corn maze was, and they had these HUGE slides. They built this hill and you sit in gunny sacks and FLY down them! You literally feel like you are falling but you end up in a little pit of plastic balls. So much fun!


Pumpkin Patch: I went to the pumkin patch with my sister-in-law Nichole and her kids to pick out pumkins for halloween!






Snow: There isn't much snow here in Burley. Definitely different from Alaska.


Sunset: The sunsets are absolutely amazing. They always have at least three colors painted across the sky no matter how cold or warm it is.

Cody and I were married on September 11th, 2009 in the Logan, Utah LDS Temple. We were sealed by my grandfather for time and all eternity. We could not be happier.

To give a little bit of backround information, Cody was born and raised in Burley, ID and served his mission in the Atlanta, Georgia mission. Jayme was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. We met while attending school at BYU-Idaho in our history class. Cody proposed on June 10th at the park where we had our first date and at the exact spot we shared our first kiss.

We are currently living in Burley, Idaho where he is working on the family farm and I am still in search of a job. We have been married a little over a month now and are loving every minute of it.

I guess you could say we aren't as exciting as most newly weds. We don't get to drive to random places for a weekend or go on any hot dates. The excitement of our week is Cody coming home before 8:30 at night and helping my fix up a quick dinner so we can spend a few minutes together before going to sleep. Let's just say I am a little bit excited for the end of November to be here, Cody will be home around 7 at night instead of the usual 8:30-9:30.

No one said being a farmer's wife was easy and I am learning that the hard way.

I am used to mountains and big bodies of water but out here in the country it is the complete opposite. The only water we see is in the canals and what comes out of our fauset. It doesn't rain much but there is a lot of wind that is constantly blowing as fast as a nascar racer. But it is absolutely beautiful. The sun is always shining and the blue skies never seem to leave.





This is the view we have from out from door, the sunsets are absolutely breath taking.


The nice thing about Cody working this fall is that he is just planting grain, which means I can ride along in the tractor while he is working. And by working I mean going back and forth all day long.


I come from a bigger city and moving to farm land is alot different.

But I am learning to love it each and every day. Having someone to share it with makes it that much easier.
