2 Year Anniversary

Today is our two year wedding anniversary!! I have been so blessed to be married to the smartest, sweetest, hottest, most perfect man for me on this earth! This year for our anniversary it fell on a Sunday so we celebrated last night by going to Olive Garden and Josh gave me the most beautiful white roses w/ the sweetest note attached. Pretty low key this year, but just being together is the best thing I could ask for. I am so excited to spend eternity together and see what the next year brings!!!

Graduation, San Diego 2010 and Updates

Sorry it has been forever since I blogged, but for some reason I was not able to log into my blog to make any changes and it kept redirecting me to a different site. However, I finally got it working again so yeaaa now I can update everyone on the latest and greatest events in our lives.

My wonderful hubby is now an official graduate of BYU-Idaho w/ his B.S in Mechanical Engineering, so needless to say I am very proud of him. His whole family and my family came up for his graduation at the end of June and we had lots of fun celebrating and being together for this wonderful time in his life and are all so proud of all his accomplishments up to this point. Here are some pics of from graduation and Josh's senior project which might I say my husband is a genius.

So after all the graduation excitement ended it was time for our Bracken family vacation to San Diego! So we packed our bags and first headed down to Arizona where we stayed for a few days which made me SO home sick and I seriously can't wait to be back living there again. We stayed in San Diego for a week and had so much fun camping on the beach, riding bikes, swimming in the ocean, and touring the USS Midway Aircraft carrier. It was a very fun and eventful trip, and I was so sad to see it end. Here are so pics from San Diego..

Our sweet little boy is growing strong and healthy everyday, and it seems like my pregnancy has flown by. I can't believe he will be here in just a few months! We don't have a name picked out yet so that is still under debate, but I think we have some goods ones picked out so far. Josh is going to be starting a short internship here in Rexburg so we will be staying in Idaho for a bit longer, which is good because I will keep my awesome insurance and also get to keep my same doctor who I trust and like a lot to deliver our little one. So that's our lives up to this point and I will keep everyone posted on new things to come!

*How We Met*

Josh and I had both been up to BYU-Idaho for our first time in January 2007, but NEVER MET each other while we were there which was weird since you usually know everyone in such a small town like Rexburg. Anyways we both came home in July after our school year was over and got a job. This is where the magic started at a company called Magellan Health Services. It was a brand new company so we all had to go through training, and on our first day of training we had to go around the room and say are names and a little about ourselves. So I stood up first said my name and that I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and I was going back in January. It then came around to Josh's turn and he said his name and that he went to BYU-Idaho too and he was going back in January too. We looked at each other and it was from that point on we were inseparable.
