Ok, this blog is way overdue. But Its better late than never, so here is a catch up of our summer! So this summer we made a big move to our home state of TEXAS! (Dallas to be exact) We went to sell pest control. Justin sold, and I worked in the office. We sold for my brother's company, Safe Home! It was a very busy hard working summer, but soooo worth it! Justin did awesome and sold sold, sold! Everyday when  his name would pop up that he made a sale, I would shout and celebrate! It was a great summer and we learned so much! It was nice break from Rexburg, but we are glad to be back. Here are a few pictures of our summer! Sorry for the picture overload, but actually not really, because let's be honest people only care about the pictures anyways....  :) 

Busy Busy On the doors! One day I even went out with Justin. Lets just say I am so grateful The hubs is a hard worker...This job is intense but pays off!

On the weekends we lived them up with lots of dates and adventures! Pool time, dinners, movies, batting cages, baseball games, Dave and Busters, Mall time, ect...

 I introduced Justin to pedicures...this man become changed....He loved it and found a new hobby.
We loved the team that we sold with. The guys were awesome! Yes this picture if of my husband holding up 4 people on his shoulders...My hubby is a beast!

  We Also went to the Dallas Aquarium! Loved it!!
 For July 4th, We flew home to San Antonio to go to Marriot's largest Resort with my family! It was a blast!

One of the biggest highlights  was living close to my sister and her family! I loved living by all my nieces and nephews! It was so much fun! 

We had a few truck repairs! Not fun...

We went to our first Texas Rangers game with the company and had a blast! My hubby was on cloud nine!

This summer was a hard working busy summer, but we made tons of memories and grew so much! Justin did so well this summer that he was asked to come back as a manger next summer! This is such a great opportunity and a blessing. We prayed a lot about this choice and just could not pass it up. Next blog post will be about our recent cruise we took with the company  and our first University of Texas Football Game this past August!

XOXOX,

A Baby Shower

My friends and I threw a Baby Shower for our friend Christine and her soon to be born baby GIRL! I had so much fun planning and decorating! This was my first Baby shower that I've thrown. It went so well, and I think it looked pretty cute! I am so excited for my friend Christine and her husband to have this new addition to their life!

Yay for babies! (an no, that doesn't mean for us anytime soon!)

And they said "I DO"

My Brother Got Married to Camille.
I love them together, and their day was perfect for them.
I love how giddy my brother gets around Cami.
Here's a few pics of their beautiful day!

And they live happily ever after for eternity...

Happy Birthday Mommy!

My mother turned a year older this year...if I told you how old, your jaw would drop. My mom is a babe! The doctor the other day thought she was 47...thats a compliment! Anyways, so for my mom's birthday, we had a get together in Utah to celebrate. But, my sisters and I also threw a surprise luncheon for my mom! we had it at a french bistro, perfect for a lunch with ladies! it turned out so well and she was shocked! She had NO clue!

I bought these adorable cupcakes from a place called Gigi's to put at each seat for each guest.Birthday girl!

Love you Mommy!

A Luau before a wedding

For my Brothers Wedding Rehearsal Dinner, Blair wanted a Hawaiian Luau!

So my parents hosted a luau in January at their house! Luckily the weather was warm and the night was a blast! Tons of food, family, and color made for a great night!


I was particularly excited for this event because my Mother put me in charge of all the decorating! She bought everything and then left it up to me. It was so fun for me to decorate since I would love to be a wedding or event planner. It was so fun, but boy by the end of the day I was exhausted! Here's a bunch of pictures of the night!


Serving Area

Serving Area. (the food wasn't brought in yet ) My mommy and I!

My best friend and my nephew Brady! I love both so much!

All of the Peterson Girls!

The Happy Couple! Getting married the next day!

The Floral Arrangement I made for the serving table

Gifts for the guests.

The night was wonderful. Blair and Camille wanted a very small intimate wedding with only family. I've decided that if i ever need decor for a party or event I can just go to my mothers house because she has everything! I just need to live closer to her!

Pictures of the wedding will come soon...
