Our 1rst Anniversary

At 4:30 Chris took me to diner at Red Lobster. I wore my black and purple/pink dress, and Chris wore a black button up shirt that he just looks so handsome in. The food was great and so was my date! ;) Then we went home and watched "how to train your dragon". It is such a cute movie. We also played Halo together! After that... its just details that you wouldnt care about... but it was also fun! ;)

Our Familes Missionary

My sister Ranae is getting ready to leave on her mission to Rosario, Argentina. Her farewell talk was on Oct. 31 along with my cousin Jordans, who is going to Everett, Washington. We had a surprise going away party for Ranae on Nov. 15! It was neat to see how many people came and supported her. There was people from the singles ward, from the home ward, family, and friends. It was great! The next day Ranae was getting set apart, that was also amazing to be there for. Ranae is going to be a wonderful missionary. Chris and I spent the night at my parents house because Ranae was going to be leaving to the MTC the next day at 1:30! Me, Ranae, my mom, and my aunt wendy stayed up till 11:30 watching "the Frog Princess" and playing phase 10. In the morning I woke up, everyone was asleep except Ranae. So we starting to talk about things mostly church related. When I brought up a few things about the church that kinda bothered me. I started to cry as she told me how she felt and I asked my questions. Then my mom came and tried to help, then my dad came and also tried to help. It was very comforting to hear all of the point of veiws from people who feel the same way as I do. I know that ranae is going to be an amazing missionary. For lunch we went to Brick Oven. It was a really nice place. Looking back I knew I was sad about Ranae leaving but I didnt want to face the fact. So I pretended like it was another day with the family. We ate and then took Ranae to the MTC! We mostly just dropped her off on the curb and gave her hugs said bye and left. I acted fine the rest of the day till I as laying in bed thinking about all of the fun memories with my sister and I just couldn't stop crying. I miss Ranae, but I know that she is were she needs to be!
We have two other missionaries out right now. My cousin Jordan left on Nov. 10 to the Everett, Washington mission. We also have Chris's cousin Eric who is on a mission as well.

A Stock was born

Stockton's football team made it to the play offs! They were undeafeted! They just had to beat 2 more teams to win the play offs! The first game of the play offs Stockton made 4 touch downs and the team won. It was a great game. The team had a harder 2nd game though. Stockton was a little upset because he only made one touch down out of 2! They still won and I think that Stockton played amazing expecially because he had been playing with a bruised heel for about a month. Stockton is #27 on the Westlake Thunder!

BYU game

Chris and I went to a BYU game with ourfriends Rj and Katie Caseys. They are super cool and we love hanging out with them. The BYU game was a blast. We were worried that the weather was going to stink but the weather turned out to be very nice, it was even a little hot. Even the game was great! BYU totally creamed UNLV! The score was 55 to 7!

The Cabin

Last weekend we went up to Austins families cabin. The first day that we were up there dad kept telling Josh to be very careful on the fourwheelers. He also teased him that he wouldnt take him to the hospitle if he crashed. We told dad not to be so paranoid about Josh, he would do just fine. 15 minutes later Josh walked into the cabin with a white shirt covered with blood because he used it to stop the bleeding. His leg was cut pretty bad from running into a barbed wire fence. Tara cleaned him up and thank goodness he was all right. If you look closly you can see 2 holes that went clean into his skin. The second day we went home with Tara and Austin who had to go to work so that Chris could play football and I would get to watch. It was the champion ship games for ward flag FB and so far our team is undefeated. Chris had 2 games and they won them both. We went back up to the cabin in time to see the results of a mud fight between Jenni, Cordell, Emma and Cassie. They watched up and got ready to go home. That night Jenni, Cordell, mom, Josh and Cassie went home so it was just Emma, dad, Austin, Tara, Chris, and I there. oh and Molly, Austins dog. Tara and Austin rode the fourwheelers out to let the family that was leaving go but on their way back the fourwheeler ran out of gas so they had to push it all the way back. We went out of town got milk shakes and got gas for the four wheelers and for the rest of the day we mostly rode the fourwheeler, watched 2 football games, and ate food. The third day we went on a family walk down to the river. It was very gorgeous up there. All the trees were either red yellow or orange. We spent some time at the river and on our way up we feed the horses. When we got back we watched more football games and lounged around. Untill about 3:30 we started cleanin up to go back home. We had so much fun and it was nice to take a break from everything else. Just being with the family was great too.

Lagoon

Going to lagoon has always been one of my dream dates and now we are finally going. We started on a fun but easy ride, "the white roller coster". After that we did the "Spider" and the "Collosis". Not going to lie i was a little nervous about the next one. We went on "wicked". I knew that once I went on it I would love it but there is something about the first time for me thats hard. But like I said I went on it and I loved it. At this point though Chris was feeling alittle sick. He loves the rides but we think that he has motion sickness because he just get really dizzy. So we took it easy for awhile going on things like the sky ride, and the haunted houses. We also had a yummy lunch that we had brought from home. We also went on the log ride and the rattle snake rapids. We both really enjoyed the rattle snake rapids. We got one raft all to ourselfs, which was really nice. Chris kept moving around so that I would get splashed with water, so I would move around to avoid that water. When we came to the waterfall we were facing so that I would get drenched. I tried to move but Chris woudn't get out of my way. It turned into a battle of how much he wanted me wet vs how much I didn't want to get wet. We both kinda won and lost because i only got wet on my left leg. Thank goodness it was the side that didn't have my phone in it's pocket. When it happened there was a old couple watching from the side who were laughing at our battle. We decided to give a ride another try so we went on the tidle wave, but it was to much. Lucky for the people infront of us Chris didn't puck on them. So for the rest of the time we went on the chu- chu train. I was actually very imprest with it. They had some awesome animals and you could see them pretty up close. We really liked that one. I was a little bummed because I wanted to go on my favorite ride, "the samuri" but I didn't want to go by myself or make Chris wait so we rode the sky line one more time and then headed home. It was a wonderful date, and I just enjoyed spending time with the love of my life. It is nice to be able to do something that we enjoy together. Plus we went and got diner at Arbys after wards, neither of us had been there for awhile.
