Happy One Anniversary to us… a couple days late!!! Opps. It has been a wonderful first year of marriage. I can’t believe how incredibly fast it has flown by. But I look forward to many many more with my amazing husband. Here are a few pictures to look back on our wedding day!!
Ps. I couldn’t do a wedding post up without a picture of my fabulous cake. I am still obsessed with it to this day!
A couple of weeks ago Shane and I decided that it was time for a summer camping and fly fishing trip up to Duck Creek. We had received a tent, stove, air mattress, etc. for wedding gifts and have been super excited to use them. Guess it only took 11 months for it to finally happen. We headed up Friday night and came back Sunday afternoon. We took the little wiener man, Diesel, with us and had a blast just the 3 of us. Shane was anxious to get up early Saturday morning to go out and fish but for me that’s way too early and I slept in. Saturday we just spent the day enjoying the outdoors, hiking around, fishing, and watching Diesel chase chipmunks and butterflies. Overall it was such a nice relaxing weekend and we surely didn’t want to come home. 
My family and I (minus Shane and brother Justin) took a quick little trip over the weekend to California for a traditional trip to watch the Braves play the Dodgers. It happened this year to have fallen on my nephew Carter’s birthday. Beach, baseball, and fun is a perfect birthday for a 3 year old or even a 23 year old like me! We spent Saturday morning/afternoon at Venice Beach playing in the sand and enjoying the sun. Followed by a visit to Dodger Stadium, where of course my Braves won 9 to 3. A win always makes for a good trip. Sunday we went over to the Santa Monica Pier, Carter got to enjoy many fun little rides. Enjoy the few pictures that I did take of the cutest kiddos you will ever see. Love them!
As I posted a about a week or so ago we met with the bishop. I thought for sure that nursery was going to be our place, but some how it is the COMPLETE opposite for me. The last thing that I could have ever imagined myself doing... Relief Society Teacher. Seriously, I have never taught anything in my life. But to start out teaching the ladies of the ward, SCARY! I was in complete shock as my sweet husband just laughed at me and the panicked look on my face. Ask me to teach little kids or even YW and I would have been SO happy! HAHA I guess that's exactly why I got it. Obviously someone thinks I have some potential of being a good teacher for the fine ladies of my ward, but I have yet to see it. I guess I do have some perks to my calling of only have to teach I assume once a month, no mutual or activity days to attend. Just gives me more time to stress the rest of the month about my lesson and how nervous, sweaty, and red faced I'll be.
I have always told him that I was not a fan of hanging animal heads in a house. If you have a office in our house one day, go for it. I just don’t want it hanging in our living room to scare our future children, etc. Plus honestly a big deer head doesn’t really match much decor that I see in a house of ours.Well about a month ago we were visiting some of Shane’s family up in Utah. His uncle and cousin got very nice big elk last season and had the heads hanging proudly on the walls of their homes. I am not going to lie that looked pretty darn sweet hanging on the wall. Anyways, I told Shane that weekend that if he could ever shoot something that big and nice looking, we could totally get it all fixed up to hang in our house. Guess the Nevada Department of Wildlife showed me this year. So, there is a very good possibility that we could be having one of these hanging in our home. How funny would that be to walk into our tiny one bedroom apartment and have this huge Elk plastered on the wall. Pretty sure it may take up the whole stinkin’ wall.
But honestly I couldn’t be happier for him because I know this is a HUGE deal to get a tag like this. He got the perfect area and even the late hunt. Which doesn’t mean a lot to me and probably doesn’t mean a lot to you either. So happy hunting this fall in the Huntsman house. (That means I’ll be spending lots of weekends alone as he finds that oh so perfect trophy elk!)
I guess as long as my house doesn’t look like the one below, I’ll be ok!
Well, we have an interview with the Bishop tonight… the first one since we have been married. For those of you that need a reminder, that’s 10 months as newlyweds WITHOUT a calling. I think that may almost be unheard of. It seems like most young couple barely get a chance to breath in the new ward when they get shoved into nursery or primary. But somehow we have slipped under the radar and got away with it. Kind of hoping it may just be a get to know you interview since we have a new bishop but I have a feeling it’s going to be more than that. Will this end tonight? Stay tuned! Ahhhhh….
Summer is seriously almost here and I can’t tell you how excited I am about that. But at the same time we already have so much planned for this summer I have a feeling it is going to just fly by. We have weddings, family reunions, camping trips, California for baseball games/beach time, and lots of time at the lake. It should be a fun-filled summer, but busy as all get out.
Recently, Shane and I have had the chance to already start our summer wakeboarding trips out to Lake Mead. We went 2 weekends in a row, and I must say I am officially feeling a little more comfortable out there on the board. The first time I ever went wakeboarding was 2 summers ago. So this year I decided to give it a shot again and I have gotten up quite a few times, made it out of the wake once and feel ASAP! I think I’ll stick to just right behind the boat. HAHA But of course Shane is freaking pro status over here just jumping the wake and making it look like no big deal at all. One day I will be just as good as him, IF I can get myself to go out of the wake again. So here are a few picture of us wakeboarding. . One day I’ll post those. Oh and PS don’t mind the oh so hideous/serious facially expressions of mine! =)
