one more thing..here is a picture of my ring....

8 Month Update....










here is the newest update. we are married today for 8 months!!! i can't believe that it has been that long already. but i am so happy and i love ben so much. i feel that we have both grown so much and have compromised a lot for each other in order to live together and still love eachother. it is the greatest decision that i have ever made. anywho...so going back to the fair.




ben and i went to the silver dollar fair with a good friend, jennifer that i used to work with at Chico Vision Care. it was so much fun. we got all the good fair food that we are definately paying for now and ben even got to shake the monkeys hand!!
then two weeks later, bens brother aaron got home from his mission and it was so much fun to see bens whole family together. this was the 1st time all 7 kids were together in 4 years. it was definately special..
ben and his mom...you can see where he gets his blue eyes..

this is the best family picture i think. the last one that was taken was when sam got home from his mission....4 or 5 years ago.


then the fire started. we had a large fire start and burned all the ay up skyway and neal rd. that was put out and not even a week later, we had a massive lightning storm that started over 800 fires in the north state. here is a pic of our view driving down skyway...


anywho....other than that, the firefighters are still fighting the fires and we are so thankful for their work. no update as of now for weight watchers. i have lost .2 lbs. i have not done too much. i have kind of given up on "watching what i weigh". i have just started exercising every day. i have started taking a jazz class every tuesday. it is 90 min and i love to be dancing again. still working, and i got a new ring. i finally got the wedding band that i have been waiting for. it looks beautiful. anywho, ben is getting his classes done to start chico state in the fall and we are excited to get things rolling for him to be making money. otherwise, hope to talk to you all soon...
