So, today, was graduation for Dan! Because it was the December Ceremony, they had all of the colleges all together at the Dee Events Center. It was pretty long but Dan looked so cute all dressed up in his cap and gown! Congrats baby, I'm so proud of you! Love you so so so much!!! Kiss!

So, this is for anyone who has ever been in our house or specifically lived in our house (before we got married of course). So, we always had such plain boring white walls. Well, we've decided we were too boring and just painted these 2 rooms. I had another picture of the paint in our kitchen and the other walls, but I think I deleted it on accident and our house is too messy right now for me to go take another picture : ) I'd love to paint our bedroom, but alas, that is too much work and I'm just not motivated yet...

Ok ok! I will post something! We've just been so busy and I feel like we're not very interesting and I don't take pictures very often so there's nothing to post. But, I'll just throw on some pics that I have and explain what we've been up to the past 3 months!

In September, we decided to take an impromptu trip to Slc/Park City for a weekend. Park City has the coolest outlets...I love it! It's such a pretty place up there.

We bought a car.... she's our new baby, I'll post a pic once I take one.

And, we decided to sell our Wii and Rockband :( We realized we never played it so we may as well try out something new. We just got a Xbox and it has Guitar Hero so that makes me happy!

And, Thanksgiving was fun! We spent Thursday at Dan's parents, ate some great food and saw 4 Christmases. Dan's mom is an amazing cook, I have to remind him that I'm not her and still have a lot of learning to do! I must say that I'm not a big fan of Black Friday; the first time I've ever done it was last year and it was ridiculous! I don't have the patience for big crowds of people so we had no desire to do it again this year. We left during the afternoon of that Friday to head down to my grandparents house in Oak City. My mom, Don and the kids had driven out to be there so it was nice to see them. We celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday so that everyone can come, so, got to eat good food and play games again! Just wish Meghan, her family and Dallin could've been there; it would've been complete! But no, they got to go to EuroDisney in Paris!

It was nice to see my family as we're staying here for Christmas this year. I'm sure my mom will be sad as only 3 out of her 6 kids will be home for Christmas this year. Sorry mom!

Well, we had an eventful Labor day weekend! My cousin Katie got married so my dad, Kayla, her friend, Landon and Austin drove out for the weekend. Dan's sister and her family was planning on going down to Veyo and had asked us to go too. I decided to stay home with the family and go to the reception and so Dan went camping! Dan said they caught a tarantula, crawfish, bluegill fish, a lizard, a frog, and a monstrous moth/bat! He went rock climbing and cave exploring. I wish I could've gone!

Dan is also in a softball league with his work and plays in a volleyball league with some friends. So, I get to go watch him 2 nights a week! And he has a night class too so he's pretty busy! He's amazing!! :)

So, just so ya'll know.....our lives are quite boring now that school has started again. I work at Weber State University for the Child and Family Studies department teaching in their Children's School and working with their student teachers. School started on Monday and I have a wonderful class!! It's been a joy so far and it has been just a couple of days. We're in the "honeymoon" period right now but I'm sure it'll stay wonderful! Dan is doing the last 2 classes of his college career!!! YEAH!!! It'll be nice not having to pay for school anymore! We're such grown ups! So, if you don't see a post on here in a while...we're doing good...there's just not much to post! I'll have to put on more pictures of our dog! :)

I got to go visit home during July and see my family. I don't get to go home this Christmas so it was nice to go see family before next year. While there, my friend and cousin Morgan Werner of Morgan Werner Photography did a photo shoot with me! It was such a blast! Morgan is a fun and amazing photographer! She gives direction but also lets you be comfortable in your element. Her sister Maddy Wilfley of Makeup by Maddy did all the makeup! I had to go to her house with absolutely no makeup on and wasn't feeling very secure about myself, but Maddy is a true artist in her profession and polished me up! My sister Kayla came on our photo shoot to old town Sacramento and we had a blast! It was hot and people were annoying but it was so much fun! Maddy did Kayla's makeup too and it really pulled out the blue in her eyes. Meg, wish you could've been there too! We'll have to do a photo shoot when we are all together! Morgan and Maddy, you girls rock!

Park City

And this is me being silly!

Oh silly Dan! We were up in Park City for a weekend (He surprised me yet again this summer with a stay up there). He calls this "Park City Romance"

Waterfall Canyon

So, I decided that I should probably add on to our blog because Dan said it's boring, but hey, I'm a busy girl!

So, we went to Waterfall Canyon over the summer. Sometimes, Dan likes to go climbing up the rocks and Twister freaks out because she can't be near him! She tries to jump up the rocks to him but some of them are pretty steep. Here, she finally made it!

So, can anyone tell me how to add people as friends on a blog?

My new blog

Well, I've officially decided to jump on the bandwagon with creating a blog. I stalk everyone else's blogs so I guess that others can take a look at the boring ol lives of Dan and Lissy! I'll try not to include too many pictures of our dog Twister!

More to come, once I figure out what the heck I'm doing and I actually have time before school starts and I have to work again!
