Merry Christmas… Early!!!

Christmas came a little early to the Huntsman household this season. Santa brought a 10 week old mini dachshund that we have  named Diesel. We have absolutely loved having him and are looking forward to many years with him.

 

“23”

I recently celebrated my 23rd birthday back on November 5th. Wow 23 sounds weird to say. Not quite sure how I feel about this new age.  But I guess I better get used to it because the number only keeps going up.

I had a fabulous birthday weekend with both families and Shane. Yes weekend, if you don’t know me that well I pretty much celebrate my birthday all weekend long. HAHA On my actually birthday Shane and I went to my favorite place… Yard House. Can I just tell you they have the best Mac ‘N’ cheese in the whole world. It’s delicious to say the least. On Friday night Shane and I went to see Craig Morgan in concert. The poor guy was sicker than a dog but he still put on a fabulous performance. We quickly ran to buy his CD’s after the concert was over. Saturday my family all went out to dinner, minus Jessica and the kids, to Ricardo’s. We were easily entertained by the Hispanic Neil Diamond. Sunday we celebrated with the Huntsman’s. My sister in law Tiffany’s birthday was the 7th so we celebrated our birthday’s together. I am very blessed for the two wonderful families and husband I have. Thanks everyone!

“Brunson Fright Dome”

Halloween weekend is a very serious holiday at the Brunson household. My older brother, Justin, absolutely thrives  for Halloween to roll around each year. Between decorating the house with webs,spiders, tombstones, pirate flags, and skeleton heads it is the house on the street that kids love to come to. Let’s just say it makes for some good entertainment that involves screaming kids and even adults. Shane and I had a great time passing out candy, taking our nephew trick or treating, and eating my mom’s fabulous homemade chili. It is always a party and always a great time had by all!

The is our sweet little ghost pumpkin!!The Brunson Family PumpkinsJust enjoying the screaming and crying of children scared by the dead pirate… This is the cutest little cheerleader and Thomas the Train I have ever seen!This is why children are frightened of the “Brunson Fright Dome!” If I were a kid, this is the last house on the street I would want to go up too.

Carter and Brynnlee

Can I just say that I have the cutest niece and nephew in the whole world! I absolutely love these two kids. I am 100% obsessed with them. There is nothing cuter than these two... seriously there isn't. Carter is about 2 1/2 years old and Brynnlee is 2 months old.

Our Busy Life

Life does not ever seem to slow down at our house. I really thought once all the wedding planning was over that things would settle down, but I’ve decided life never does. It feels like we are always constantly on the go. One day I have a feeling that I will get good at blogging, but I can not promise that will happen anytime soon. I am busy being a full-time student, working 30 hours a week and can’t wait for December to roll around so that I can be DONE! Shane is busy working his tail off 5 to 6 days a week. 

The whole 2 1/2 months that we have been married has been busy with trips, school, and work. Over Labor Day weekend we went to Duck Creek with my family. We rented a cabin up there and had an absolute blast. It was my first time being up there and it was hard to come back home to the real world, but that seems to be hard no matter where I go on vacation. We did lots of fishing, playing with our niece and nephew, roasting marshmallows, and playing horseshoes. Shane took me out fly fishing for my first time. It was so fun. I laugh at the pictures cause I look like a total diva out in the middle of the water with diamond sunglasses, hair all done up. But I was glad he taught me and let’s just say there will be many more fly fishing trips for us two.  We caught about 15 fish between the two of us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There will be more pictures later… we took most of our pictures on Shane’s camera and can’t find the cord to download them so until then these will have to do. There are pictures of us casting and stripping in the fish we caught!

Huntsman Honeymoon

We are MARRIED!!! Shane and I tied the knot on the 18th of July. It was a fantastic day I must say. The temple sealing was amazing, not gonna lie though I do not remember much that was said because I was in complete shock. The reception was perfect. Lots of dancing, gorgeous decorations, and 115 degree heat. Got to love Vegas. The whole day was perfect and wouldn't change a single thing about it. We went on our honeymoon to Cancun. We stayed at the Excellence Riviera Maya and highly recommend it anyone.The week in Cancun was just what I needed after 5 months of planning the wedding. Shane and I were able to snorkel, kayak, paddle boat, go to an Eco park named Xel-Ha, and relax on the beach. It really was a dream come true. Here are some pictures of the many adventures we went on while down there.

We stayed at the Belliago our wedding night and it was off the hook. The suite over looked the water show and was nearly twice the size of our sweet little apartment. Needless to say coming home to our apartment was kind of hard. Haha

Shane loved the iguana's everywhere at Xel-Ha.

Once I get all the professional photo's back from the wedding I will for sure post them. They turned out amazing and can't wait for everyone to see them.

The Beginning

I decided that since I am getting married in 2 painfully slow long months that I should join the blogging world like every other young cute married couple. So yes I am jumping on the bandwagon. I guess for those of you that want to know the story here it goes. Shane and I met in the typical Mormon way, church. I happened to be speaking in church the Sunday he randomly showed up with a friend, and my eyes instantly recognized him from the good old days. I couldn't take my eyes off of him all through sacrament meeting making me nervous as all get out to speak. We did not say a single thing to each other on that day but I went home to find a random guy had requested me on Facebook (sad I know). It was the gentlemen that was with him at church and I all I could do was ask about Shane. Finally, I sent him a message via the Internet and we began talking immediately. I looked forward every day to getting a message from the hunk with blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes. Long story short we started seeing each other about a week later and have been glued together ever since. He took me skydiving a week after we started dating for my birthday, which was awesome. I will admit I was scared to death but loved every minute of it. We dated about 3 months when we got engaged in Feb. Now 5 months later we will be getting married on the 18th of July in the Las Vegas Temple. I can't wait to marry my best friend. =)
