..A Little Place We Like To Call Home...

...The option of where to live has been a topic of discussion since before the engagement. Georgia? Boise? Rexburg? Oh the choices. After months of negative degree weather and numerous earlymornings of scraping ice off our cars, Rexburg was quickly nixed. Georgia? Well there was nothing promising there at the time, no jobs, and not even the same state to transfer schools easily. We soon decided to start our lives in Boise, Idaho. Not AS cold and miserable as Rexburg, but not the hot humid summers like Georgia.
We both become Bronco's at BSU in January 2011.

The next decision was whether to move into the In-Laws basement; to save up money and work for six months. OR to start our own place. Although the idea of not paying rent and strictly saving money for a while sounded GREAT, the idea of being newly married and on our own sounded even BETTER. Zach got us an apartment in Nampa, Idaho, while I was still in Georgia....Nervous since I hadn't seen it..But he couldn't have dont a better job. Our First Home <3

So Put On Your Best Boy, && I'll Wear My Pearls

Zach and I were married in the Boise, Idaho Temple on September 4th. What a beautiful day it was, along with the absolute most perfect weather. Family and friends traveled all the way from Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Utah, and various parts of Idaho to be a part of our journey together. Nothing I would change about this day. Nate Perkes was our photographer, one of Zach's old mission companions, and he is absolutely phenomenal. He also took our engagement pictures. A big thanks to Zach's mom Lezlie for working her but off to plan a beautiful Open House. Zach and I could not have greater friends and family!!!
