Catch-Up

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a slacker of updating our blog. So i'll do a quick run down of 2009. We both consider 2009 to be a great year and a busy one. The hightlight was being married in March in the Manti temple. We had a great summer! We enjoyed living in Cedar. We were blessed with being able to see our families lots. We had fun taking a week off work to spend the first few days with Ashley's family in Minersville and taking off for a short visit to Blanding. We had a lot of fun camping there. Ashley was ablt to catch her first fish, it was a cat fish. Devin was a tropper all summer and commuted from Cedar City to St. George for work. In August we moved to St. George. We love it in St. George and have been enjoying the cool winter and not freezing. Our family was busy with both of us going to school, but we still made a few trips to the mountains.



We had the oppertunity to go to many weddings in 2009. They were all fun, we enjoyed seeing our family and friends at them. When we went to one in Las Vegas, we both were able to attend our first PBR (Professional Bull Riding). We had a lot of fun at that. We also took the Marshall Family Picture on that trip and gave Ashley's parents their birthday present to the NFR (National Finals Rodeo). So the first weekend of December we took a family trip to Las Vegas again. It was a fun trip the night we went to the rodeo Cody Wright won the go around, which was really cool because he is a family friend from Milford. So we went to the Buckle Awarding Ceremony after, which was another first for us both.











In November Devin's cousins were playing in the 2A state finals. It was this same game a year earlier when I met the family. We had a lot of fun with everyone in town. It's always fun to gather with family and listen to old stories. Joan, Brandon, and Brandon's kids stayed with us. Went made a quick trip to Grafton, an old qhost town by Zions. We always have a lot of fun exploring, especially when Joan comes and visits.






We enjoyed seeing both of our families over the Holidays. Especially having Joan, Trisin, Corey, and their girls with us to bring in the new year.

The year 2010 got off to a busy to start, but we have lots to look forward to this year. One of my goals is to post more than every s1x months.
