I have come to the conclusion that when I decided to update this I am not going to continue saying I am going to update this more often. Let's face it, it's just not going to happen. When I update, I update. Could be as often as next week, or next year. You just never know!
Well, for the Brandon's, things are going great. We are so ready for school to end, but sadly for me, it wont be over until the end of June. I am taking Spring classes, soo still busy for me. But hey, such is life! Dustin is doing great. Just continuing on with school and back at work at Pinnacle with me. We will be moving AGAIN in the next few weeks and are very sad to leave this nice place, but OH SO HAPPY to know we wont be moving again for quite some time. (hopefully until we are dooone with Utah). So, that part is very exciting! And we will be much closer to school and work. That gas money was just adding up!
Well, we don't have too much planned for the Summer. We might be able to fit in 1 vacation, but can't decide if it will be to Georgia or Arizona...Time will have to decide that. OH, and $$$. So we shall see.
Things have been going great though, and here are a few pictures to show what we have been up to since...well, January....

New Year, New Start!
So, with the new year I thought a great resolution would be to start writing in my blog....not once every 6 month, and not once a year...but regularly. I plan to keep that resolution so we will see how well it goes...
I am not going to bother updating what has happened in the past several months, so I will just start from the new year. Life has been going great. Dustin and I just started school again for yet another semester. We are definitely hoping for the best. Classes are great so far. Hoping it will be a much lighter semester than the last. Last semester I was completely swamped, so I decided to go a little lighter this semester. That way I can actually work more than 10 hours a week. Yeah, that would definitely be a good thing. Dustin's last semester went really well, besides him catching the swine flu and being sick from October up until December. Somehow he still managed to pull off his whole semester with great grades minus one he had to drop. So far, so good.
The holidays were great. We spent Thanksgiving as well as Christmas and New years in Arizona with Dustin's family. It was definitely weird not seeing my family for any of those holidays but we sure did manage to have a great time. My mom is doing great with her Chemo, and my Dad is still truckin on with his illness. Somehow they both are still very strong and making it through each day. I am so grateful for them every day of my life. :)
Not too much else is going on in my life other than trying to get through school as fast as possible. Still have so far to go, but every semester I am just a little bit closer. Well that's all I really have to share for now, maybe I will remember to post when something exciting happens...that would be good.

i'm the worst blogger ever
So, really. It's been forever, and I am not going to even try going back about everything that has happened in our lives since March. So, I'm just not. :)
Things have been pretty good. This Summer has flown right by. Me and Dustin have been working at Pinnacle Security. I have been working in the Customer Service dept, and Dustin has been flagging calls, and setting up accounts for new customers. It isn't exactly our "ideal" job, but it definitely pays the bills. It has also been the main cause for this Summer flying by. This Summer has been completely different than last Summer. Last Summer I swear, it felt like we had traveled around the world and back, and this Summer we have been to Georgia once, for a family reunion. That was fun. A little overwhelmingly exhausting for a one week vacation. But oh, totally worth it. We were able to go to Gulf Shores AL for the reunion which was at the beach, and we also got the chance to spend a day in Panama City Beach which is by far, my family's favorite beach! So we had a really great time. It was so so good to spend time with my parents. I just love love love them, and wish I could see them more. My Dad is seriously, the best Dad in the world! :) I just wish we could see him more. Speaking of the parents, my mom is actually doing fabulous. According to the Dr. her cancer is going away! Her cancer level in her blood has gone down from 56 to 7.8, and 2.4 or something like that is said to be the normal range. So, clearly her levels have significantly dropped--so we have ALOT of hope in the air. She gets her CT scan in mid-august, so that will tell us alot and what we have to do from there. But so far, SO GOOD. We are excited.
In about 2 weeks we get to go to Arizona for the weekend to visit our other family. The wonderful Brandon's! We are so so excited. You see, we used to see them, oh, atleast once every 2 months. But we have not seen them since February! Which has been much much too long! So we are very excited to see them. Especially now that Dustin's parents along with his sister both live in Mesa now, so we don't have to go between Las Cruces, and Mesa. SO, we are very excited to see them--especially since for once, WE DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE! It will give us TWO extra days to actually spend time with them! We are SO excited! And that will be the two summer vacations we get all sumer long. Then...SCHOOL! Which, i'm not going to lie, i am actually pretty excited for. I finally will be starting classes for my major, which is long over due. So I am ready, plus I need some time away from yelling, angry, irate customers.
Anyways, I think this is good for now. Maybe I will update again before next year.

Dustin's Birthday Surprise!
Or not so much the "surprise". It appears that I am really bad at hiding things from my husband. Me, and my sister decided to throw a surprise party for Dustin about a week and a half before his birthday. Was not so sure I could keep something like that away from him for that long without giving away any hints. Well, I guess the whole fact that my phone kept getting texts and random people kept calling me it was hard for him not to have a feeling something was going on. However, he sure did go along with it pretty good. Didn't bring it up once all weekend...until he walked into the "SURPRISE!"....and his first words he uttered were "I KNEW IT!" haha. So much for the surprise! But it was a good one anyways. It turned out REALLY well, and we all had a TON of fun. My lovely little sister and friends sure decorated quite nicely...and had t he floor covered in balloons...which the boys ended up having a little too much fun with. But it all went really well and everyone had a great time. A few of Dustin's mission buddies came, along with a bunch of other friends here and there. It was such a good turn out and we were so glad that our closest friends could make it over to surprise Dustin with all this attention. (which I am sure he loved.) :) But anyways, I was just glad Dustin had a great Birthday weekend full of Dinners, fun, and surprises. I also enjoyed it seeing as this was the first surprise party I have thrown anyone and apparently the first surprise party Dustin has gotten--so it was great for the both of us and we both enjoyed every minute of it!! (we didn't get too many pictures cuz we are all so busy socializing but I managed to catch one at the end before all the late stayers took off)

Finally...Pictures!
Here are pictures from all the events from Valentines Day all the way back to Christmas in Georgia!! I figured it was time to show off some pictures!
Happy Valentines Day!! We both had a very good Valentines Day and Dustin finally decided to get me the Notebook since it is one of my favorite movies and we have yet to watch it together, so I was really excited that we could finally watch it together! I know, cheesy! :)
And of course you can not forget the Pretty flowers Dustin surprised me with! I LOVE flowers!
We Just really love the Georgia bulldogs so we had to get a picture in our Jerseys and of course this was the big game the day before we left Georgia!
As much as we love the Georgia Bulldogs we HAD to go pay a visit to Athens and see all of our favorite spots-- and we enjoyed every minute of it! :D
Happy New Year, 2009!! Yes, we spent our first New Years together as a married couple and spent the entire evening with our family and had a blast!! And don't worry, it's just sparkling cider! :)
Merry Christmas!! This is us, and my Dad and step Mom. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of us with my Mama. :( But had an AMAZING Christmas with all my many family members!
And of course this is just US doing the traditional Christmas tree picture before we open the gifts!
Anyways, that is about it for my pictures--and I thought I would share since it has been so long since i have updated with anything!! And now, I am going to try to continue updating frequently. We will see how far that goes!
