Anniversary!

Its pretty late but Brett and I's anniversary was
on October 24th. To celebrate we headed off
to Sedona for the weekend! I absolutely love
being married to Brett and I hate to break to
all of you girls out there, but Brett Jenkins

is THE BEST husband in the whole wide world!

Can't you tell . . .

This is some cool rock furniture we found in our
adventures in Sedona . . . oh yeah, and Brett with his
hand in his pants, told ya, best husband ever :)

Could it be a Prince . . . ?

El Rincon, it was wonderful!

This has nothing to do with our anniversary I

just think its the cutest picture ever of Brett

and my niece Ellie :)

Called To Serve

So my little brother got his mission call last week,

which is weird because he is still like 8 years old in

my head but I'm really excitied for him. He's heading to

Calgary Canada and he leaves January 20th.

I'm gonna miss that goofy kid :)

IT'S TRUE . . .

Cory Justin Jenkins, our dear brother, father, son,
and friend was killed in Afghanistan on
August 25, 2009 after his stryker was hit with an
improvised explosive device

We miss you and love you Cory

Washington and Family!

We were finally able to go on a vacation! We went to Washington

to visit Brett's brothers family and see their adorable new

baby girl Reagan and particiapte in her blessing! It was such

a fun trip and we were so happy to just get to be there at

all being as its the only vacation we got to go on this whole summer!

Yes, school sucks, but we're almost done! yay! But it was great

and thank you Jeanne for making it all happen! Love ya!

Brett and I found an amazing waterfall that I

didn't even know existed in Washinton . . .

it was a great hike too!

Precious baby Reagan with her daddy. . . too cute!

Brett holding Reagan, doesn't that baby look so

good in his arms!! :)

This is just Washington being it normal beautiful
self . . . can you tell I havent' left Arizona in a while,

look, its actually green there! and NO CACTUS!

This is the Puget Sound, we got to watch the 4th of July

fireworks right over it, it was cool!

Me and my smokin' hot hubby! Thanks for the trip babe!

On a much sadder note, we also went to say goodbye to

this precious little girls daddy because he shipped out to

Afghanistan about a week after we left, leaving his beautiful

wife and 2 week old baby behind. Good luck Cory and we love you!

Graduation!

I can't believe my little brother just graduated from Mesa High! I'm so proud! My sister and I made him this wonderful cake in congratulations! I know its no Heather cake but I was proud of myself! I even had purple and gold layers!

Love ya JD!

PS I know I look really cute in my ugly hoodie but what can I say...it was pouring rain the WHOLE time! But we stuck it out!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I know its late but I just had to show everyone how we celebrate St. Pattis Day in the Jenkins household....green bagels...yum!

Vacation...FINALLY!

So Brett and I were finally able to go on a little vacation this last weekend! We went over to Carlsbad, California just for the weekend but it was well worth it! We flew in on Friday at about 4 and shopped around in Seaport Village and had some yummy mexican food! Saturday was bright and sunny all day, perfect for our day at the beach so we really enjoyed it! Sunday was slightly overcast and a little rainy which was perfect for lounging around before we had to leave! Thanks Jenkins family for getting the gorgeous condo and letting us come enjoy!


Our BEAUTIFUL condo...it was really nice!

Our MASSIVE but delicious breakfast at Pipes that Brett and I shared and still couldn't finish!









Off to the beach!

Thanks Jenkins Fam! We had so much fun getting away from boring Mesa!

So Long Spring Break

So today is my last official day of spring break...sadness is all I feel. I loved the break but of course I didn't get everything done that I wanted to but here are a few things that I did do:

• Had microwave smores with my hubby! Yumm!!!

• Planted my cute little garden of a tomato plant and zuchinni, which by the way is going to die because I'm an idiot and planted it where it gets like zero sun, but I water it everday and I will take care of it until it is crispy and dead because I worked really hard on it!
  
  
  

• Rushed to Urgent Care to meet my hubby and his burnt foot. Here's what happened, so he is driving a short bus on the 202 minding his own business when suddenly he feels like a scorpion bit his foot, so he looked down and a hose popped off of wherever it was supposed to be and radiator fluid was all over his shoe, needless to say its very hot and has chemicals in it that burned his foot pretty good. Luckily MPS is taking care of all of the medical stuff but that also means he has to go to the doctor all the time because they don't want a lawsuit! Well could be worse I guess, glad your ok love!
  

This pic doesn't do it justice, later it got the biggest blister I've ever seen and today the doctor had to lance it open and Brett said he almost passed out! Apparently the chucks underneath his foot were completely soaked! Thats a big blister! Wish I could have been there!

• Gained an even greater passion for the tank game on our Wii....got my best score yet! :)

• And OF COURSE....did some good old studying! What would I be without it?!...kicked out of Nursing School!!
  

No wonder I never BLOG!

This post seriously took me like and hour to figure out and two desperate texts to friends...yikes! Thanks Allison and Heather! :)

So I know I haven't posted in a few millenia but school has officially overtaken my life. However, I am proud to announce that I have made it through my first month of nursing school! Woo Hoo! I had two tests today and my brain is pretty fried so that's why I am blogging rather than doing anything associated with school. And yes those books are just for this semester and no, thats not even all of them. I left some in the car. Goodbye $800, I liked you a lot more than these stupid books!

Also, I have to say how much I love my husband. Today when I got home from school I found that Brett had cleaned, vacuumed and made the whole downstairs completely spotless! AND had a bouquet of roses for me because I had such a hard week with school....how adorable is he? I love him to death! And I love a clean house almost that much too! Thanks hubby!

So.....

So, I WOULD post again but....our camera is being stupid and I can't upload any pictures. And whats a post with no pictures?!! Just look at how boring this one is! I apologize and I will look into it. And by I...I mean my husband will look into it...ahhh I love being married!!!! :)
