Well, as you can see my cute husband created us a blog. I
was super excited and he did such a good job! I decided my first post should be
an introduction about Colt and me. How we met, how we fell in love, what we do…you
know, all the good stuff that you probably don’t know about us.
How we met
Our initial
introduction wasn’t the most ideal setting. I was with Colt’s cousins, Jason and Adam, on
our way to go rock climbing. They told me they were going to make a quick stop
to say hi to a cousin who had just gotten home from a mission. When I say just…I
mean 20 minutes from being released! Yep, I met Colt’s whole family and felt a
little out of place being the only person there that wasn’t a member of the
family. Colt of course had a crisp missionary part and was a little shocked with
the whole being home thing. I am sure I made matters worse when rock climbing he
referred to me as a “sister” and I just looked at him like he was completely
weird. Yeah, I was brat I admit it. Poor guy.
How we fell in L-O-V-E
In fast mode….We weren’t really friends after our rough
intro, then we dated and that didn’t work out either. We took separate paths
and then Colt took my roommates and me rafting. (1 year and 3 months after he
came home from the mish) We had a blast and we started dating again. We spent
the summer together and rather quickly decided that we wanted to get married. He
proposed by taking me on a hike (a hilarious story in itself), made me two treasure maps
that led me to where my treasure was. I was completely surprised since we hadn’t
even gone ring shopping. Yes, I wore a fake ring for about a month of our
engagement and loved it. Once engaged, Colt went to Provo and I went to
Rexburg. Our engagement felt like forever especially when we only got to see
each other on the weekends! December 20th finally arrived and it
couldn’t have been more perfect!
Here is a taste of what we do
- Colt is a full time student and an aspiring entrepreneur. Our normal conversations usually consist of us talking about potential business ideas.
- I am currently doing my internship at an accounting firm. On a daily basis I do corporate and individual tax returns. Sounds fun right!? Yeah, I may not end up doing taxes the rest of my life but I have learned so much! April 15th is just around the corner. Have you finished your taxes?
- We recycle. J I wasn’t really into before I married Colt but he convinced me that it would be good for us to do. Now, I love it! The trash needs to be taken out at least half as often.
- We only eat homemade wheat bread and our favorite snack is homemade almond butter and honey on top of it! Mmm…delicious.
- Sometimes Colt sleep talks and I just lay in bed laughing my head off. The other night he said, “Jordan (referring to his cousin) doesn’t like remote control airplanes.” I asked him why and he responded “Because they are dishonest.” I love it.
- Sometimes we argue over the dumbest things and then end up laughing about them later. I like to think that every married couple does this. I mean you all do this, right!?
- We go on bike rides EVERY day the sun is shining.

That is funny Colt talks in his sleep. So does Derik. I always think that I will remember what he says when I wake up but never do. I need to keep a notebook by the bed and just write it down. It would be funny to look back and read what he said. You should do the same!
