Marriage :)

Wow, I can't really believe it's December already! Half way through too! Where does the time go...
Gare and I have just been busy busy. Gare is doing his pinnacle thing, and an excellent job at it, if I may say so myself. He's the number one 'rookie' salesman at the moment, and as a matter of fact he's out selling right now. No wonder he's at the top. He's such a hard worker and gives it all he has all the time. Seriously, there's not a day that goes by when he's not selling or talking to someone in the pinnacle building. I tell him all the time that I'm really proud of him, cause I really am. I love seeing him get excited when he gets a sale or a call back. Here's his outfit that he wears...

He can't wait to sell this summer, and I can't wait to see where we go! Hopefully somewhere super warm. Rexburg has been FREEZING lately. The sun out so you think it's okay, but then the breeze hits ya and your cold for the rest of the day. I think I need to start cooking in the oven so that it will warm up in the apartment.
My mom, sisters, and I went to the nutcracker yesterday! It's a little tradition we have right before christmas. We usually go to dinner just us, but this year we were lucky to be accompanied by the Randall family that we love! Becky, the mom, has 7 girls! I feel bad because she wants a boy really bad... but she recently just had a baby. Her name is Elizabeth, and she is the cutest thing. I got to hold her for most of the nutcracker performance. When it was time to go I was like, "I think I'm going to take her home with me... I think Gare will be all right with it." I figured we'd be fine cause she was just smilin' at me. I'm not gonna lie, I had a baby craving moment. :) Then I came home and Gare assured me that wouldn't be for a while. Since we had a GNO (girls night out) the boys went to dinner and saw a movie too. They saw Tower Heist I guess, and said it was good, but had a rushed ending.
The reason I titled this marriage is because I went to Hayley Howard's bridal shower today. She's such a sweet girl, and I'm so glad we're friends. This was actually the first bridal shower I had ever been to. They had so many fun games and these cupcakes with pictures of really hot actors on top. Haha I got the one with Mattew Mchonahey because one of my mom's  friends always calls him Mattew Mchonaheeeeey! Ask me about it and I'll tell you in person cause it's cute! Anyways, they are such a cute couple and I can't wait to go to their wedding! Gare has been to a wedding before, but this will be my first time! So exciting! :)

Adorable, right?

It's been 4 weeks??

Holy smokes time flies! Just the other day we were counting our marriage in weeks, and now we're to one month. Soon it'll be a year... crazy crazy... Actually, what's crazy is how you can be with one person 24/7 and then not get to see them for a couple days and miss them like crazy! You'd think we'd enjoy the break, and Garret might be, but I know I'm not. I freeze when I sleep cause he's my electric blanket! In scripture term, we're one flesh so I'm missing part of my flesh. Not complete. It's okay though cause I get to go home to my hubby (still gettin' used to that term haha) tomorrow :) Thank goodness!
Anyhoo, I have a few updates. Gare and I have been having a blast experimenting in the kitchen. I swear we put rice with everything! It's good though so I'm not complaining in a bad way. Unfortunately we've only taken a one picture of one of our (well, mainly Gare's) masterpieces, but that's just for now.

 This was so stinkin' good. I was so glad we had leftovers for the next day. We cooked the rest of the sausage that we had, and sauteed some shrimp and mushrooms. Then we mixed it up with some red sauce for a perfect combination. I thought it needed something healthy so we colored it up with some steamed broccoli. We just love broccoli so it goes with most of our meals :) Good thing its healthy for us. I would highly recommend this concoction to anyone.
Also, we've been having a date night for a 3 consistent fridays. Today is the consistency breaker. We usually rent a movie, but we went to a movie at the cheap theater once and saw Dream House. Not the best show, but very intriguing. And that's what we like so we liked it. I think this picture was from that night. It's probably my new favorite picture of us right now...

What a babe :) I love that he just has that genuinely nice, caring look about him. Fits his personality perfectly. I just love him :)

We've decided to start a family...

Of fish! :) Hopefully nobody thought of something else... haha I'm sorry I just thought it would be funny. That won't be for a long time. Anyhoo, this one here is called a neon tetra. The blue stripe on him/her (we don't really know cause according to Gare fish can be either gender), but anyway the blue stripe is such a bright pretty blue. We have 3 of these little guys, and we couldn't tell them apart at all so we named them thing 1,2, and 3. It suits 'em. Then we have two others that are called black phantom tetras.

You can only see one clearly in this picture, but that's what the other looks like too. We decided one had to be a boy and one a girl. This one happened to be a little bigger and had more black on his tail fin so we made him the boy and named him Scar. The other one is Scarlet. They are not very entertaining, but they make a nice addition to our home. We love them and hope they don't die anytime soon :) Hence, why we put this in there... haha...

Next item of business is pictures. I have some from the reception I absolutely love and want to frame all over our apartment!

Can I get round of applause for Lisa? Those bread bowls with soup and salad was delicious.

The whole Kerby family 

Gare and his beautiful sisters!

We all love our little brothers :)

I love these girls so much :)

My sweet and adorable little flower girls!

My parents & I

My smokin' hot bridesmaids & I! :)

FUNNY :) Jaxon, my little cousin, met Gare while we were engaged and thought it was so weird that Gare would kiss me so he told him that he was watching him. It was hilarious.

My beautiful cake-maker woman :)

This is my sister Ashton. I looove her and her cheetah :)

Oh ya, totally got him... :)

Everyone was supposed to dance with us, but this made for a really great picture.

And though our party came to an end, the love behind it all is alive and kickin! We actually went to the temple today and got to repeat our ceremony. It was just as good as October 14th. I'm so glad we live less than a mile away. We are seriously so lucky to have this. We decided today that we're going to make it a weekly thing to go. Why not when we're this close, ya know? It's such a peaceful place and rejuvinates you for the days to come. Everyone needs a little rejuvinating from time to time. I know I do. They say everything happens for a reason, so maybe that's why we're living so close. All I know is that we're gonna take advantage of it immediately :)
