1 year and back to the "Hav"
On June 6th Meg and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary, I can't believe it has been a year already! When you are having this much fun and when you are married to someone as wonderful as my wife time flies by!
To celebrate our anniversary we decided it would be cool to go back to where we spent our honeymoon, Lake havasu Arizona. We left on thursday June 3 and drove 8 hours to the lake. On friday we went golfing and it was HOT! 106 to be exact and we golfed 18 holes. It was Megs first time out on the course and she was pretty impressive! She even drove the ball over a little section of the lake on to the fairway about 150 yards out. It was awesome. Later that day we just sort of hung out at the beach and swam. We had some pizza that was overcooked too. On saturday morning we again went to the beach, a different beach this time, and played in the water it was around 110-111 degrees that day. After swimming it up we went to a spa and had a nice relaxing swedish massage...I fell asleep toward the end and woke up alone in the room...I felt like I had been there hours but meg was only waiting about ten minutes. Saturday night we had sushi for dinner, one of our favorite things to eat! It was pretty good and the pieces were huge haha meg made a mess trying to eat each piece all at once (which is how you usually eat sushi). Sunday morning we rented Jet skis from our favorite Jet ski rental man Tom, the same guy we rented from last year, who is a vietnam war veteran he retired from the navy and acts like a pirate. While we were out on the water it was 115 degrees and at times felt like someone had just opened up the oven on us. One of the things we wanted to do this timearoud was cliff jump, so we found a cliff and jumped in to the water. It took megan at least a half an hour to finally jump and I am probably underexaggerating. Haha she was so excited after she did it! On sunday night we went and watched the celtivs lakers game at a sports grill and ate some tasty burgers! On monday and tuesday we spent some time in Las Vegas at The Venetian, it was awesome! We didn't do a whole lot but relax and stay out of the sun! It was the perfect way to end our first year of wonderful marriage! Icing on the cake! Speaking of cake we ate our wedding cake on sunday and it was surprisingly still good! So we decided to eat it every anniversary for the next 19 years! Just kidding...but seriously we are.

Andrew Kent Vera
Andrew and I will have been married a year on June 6th and I've been reflecting a lot on the past year lately. I must say that there is noone as perfect for me than Andrew. So I'm going to list some of the things I love about him.
1. He's passionate about everything he does
2. He sings in the car and even sings to me and it always makes me smile
3. He plays sports with me and loves them as much as I do
4.He loves getting pedicures so I never will have to go alone
5.He's the most unselfish person I know
6. His cute smile
7. He's the best at surprises. This past week I picked up a shift at work and came home to a clean house and then a candle lit room where he game me a massage and he is currently working on some surprise that I can't figure out yet, but I'm working on it
8.He knows me well enough to keep me in line and remind me when I'm not being logical
9.His dancing!! Many people don't know this but he has some awesome moves.

Andrew and I have been staying very busy and having lots of fun. I dont feel like blogging too much and I'm in class so this post will consist of mostly pictures, at least thats the plan.
Summer semester started for me yesterday. I'm taking 18 credits and can already feel all of my energy draining from my body. The worst part is that I have a class at 7:30 am and it's the days after I work until midnight... boo. I don't want to complain too much because I really do feel blessed to be able go to school and I just want to get done.
A few weeks ago my friend Timmy got home from his mission, so this past week Andrew and I have had the opportunity to spend some time with him and some other friends. On Tuesday Haley, Colton, Timmy and I went 4-wheeling and as we are driving down the mountain Timmy's tire decides to plop off. It was epic and we had a really fun time. Then over the weekend Andrew and I went over to Haleys to play some games and we ended up whipping out the twister game. (Love that game)
Andrew is still working for Wells Fargo and we both work at Vista at night. I was able to quit my second job a few weeks ago so that I could take summer classes but I'm still feeling as busy as ever. And Andrew.... well I'm not sure how he does it. He is definetly a trooper and I am so grateful for how hard he is working.
Andrew and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary in a couple weeks and we are planning on going to Lake Havasu (the same place we went on out honeymoon) We are going to rent jet skis, get massages, manis and pedis and do lots of relaxing so pictures will be coming soon. But I must say that this past year has been the most amazing, fun and challenging year of my life. I'm really lucky to have Andrew. He is always making me laugh and making me so happy.
Well this blog has already gone on longer than I expected so I will get to the pictures. I hope everyone is doing well, thanks for taking time to read our blog :)

Right now I am watching game 2 of the jazz-nuggets series, its a nail biter, literally I just bit my nails. Jazz up 3 11 seconds to go. While at work this evening I was told F-you and to F off in the same sentence by a 16 year old boy. Gotta love the drama at mý second job! Jazz up 1 with 6 seconds left. Korver shooting 2.I'm shaking.up 3. JAZZ WINNNN!!!! Meg and I both share a place of work. We are working at a ýouth rehabilitation center 3 nights a week.meg will actually be going full time there in about a month. It is an amazing job and very rewarding! I am also working as a personal banker for Wells Fargo. We are both finishing up the semester and gearing up for summer semester. We recently purchased a scooter! The thing is pretty awesome, it gets up to 80 MPH and gets 70 MPG. We love cruising on it especially in the afternoon when its sunny and warm out! We are approaching our one year anniversary and I am planning the celebration, wish me luck! Well hopefully this gives you all enough to understand where we are at in our lives.

vacation resort:MWMC
Hey all this is a copy of the letter I wrote to my brother regarding my trip to the hospital. WARNING! There is info in this you may not want to know. WARNING!
Hey bro, I don't know if you will be able to upload this picture or not. Anyway, it is a pic of me in a hospital bed...lol yep in the hospital. I had to be rushed in to the ER on wednesday at around 230 AM. Meg brought me in. This is the story; on tuesday night, aarons BDAY we all had a wild drinking party at the house and I was throwing up, haha JUST KIDDING about the drinking party. But seriously on tuesday night meg and I were at the house and we ate our dinner, which was green salad, that's it, it had just lettuce, cucumbers, bell peppers, broccoli, turkey and cheese. So I ate the salad and then we went and played bball for Aarons bday at the church. The whole time I was playing my stomach was killing me (just thought I had to go number 2) so I tried and couldn't. Anyway, we went back to the house and mom and meg just told me it was gas or that maybe the fresh peppers was upsetting my stomach. So meg and I went home. When we got there I took a hot shower hoping the heat would help. It didn't. So by this time its around 11pm and we are home and my stomach is still killin me. So I tried everything I know to help create a BM (tmi) everything except Ex-lax because on the box it said not to if you have abdominal pain. This continued on for another couple hours. In between my efforts I was calling my mother and meg was calling my mother in law and all kept encouraging me to do other things, thinking I was being a baby about it, and I tried all of those things...none of them helped. So at about 215am meg called the ER in Tooele and they said to bring me in. You see, being the tuff guy I am(that I try to be), no tuffness could stack up to this sharp pain. When we arrived they immediately did some blood work and felt around trying to find out where the pain was coming from exactly. (Some of these words or sentences may not make the most sense, I am still in the hospital and on pain meds) after the tests came back they knew something was up so they scheduled me for a CT scan. I had to drink I swear a half gallon of dye to prepare for the scan, it was disgusting. While this was happening I knew I wanted and needed a blessing...so with dad out of town in Dallas I turned to Zach and Boone. Meg called them and within 45 minutes they were at my side using the power of the priesthood to calm me down and ease my pain. I am so grateful they came by, it was a big sacrafice for them to just get up at 330am to come to the hospital especially when both of their wives are at home pregnant. Thank goodness for them, it helped me sleep while I was waiting for the scan. At 530am they came and woke me up to have the scan done. The results of the scan showed that my appendix, that is supposed to be 6mm in diamater and about as long as a pinky finger, was actually 16mm in diameter and more than twice as long as it should have been. So I was scheduled for surgery at 930am to have it removed! I don't remember a thing from the time they took me from my room for the operation. All I know is that I was in the deepest sleep ever! Meg and mom told me that after I woke up I was asking them why they forgot my body, I don't remember that lol. Anyway after I was actually awake awake and able to focus it was about 1PM already. I kept having meg lay in bed with me, because she was exhausted. Poor meg was awake for more than 24 hours before she got to actually sleep, and even then she only slept for about an hour and a half. I am so grateful for all she did for me and for all the sacrifices she has made and continues to make. She is the perfect wife, hopefully one day you will find someone almost as good ;) back to my hospital vacation: at around midnight last night meg and I were sleeping in the bed and I all of a sudden i was dripping sweat and needed to use the restroom and was a little dizzy, so I really needed to get to the bathroom...but didn't want to wake meg up...so luckily the CNA, jeremy, walked in right at that moment and he helped me to the bathroom. After I filled up a 32 ounce jug I felt like I was going to pass out, so I hollered for a little help, jeremy came in and I leaned on him while he walked me to the bed...I was about to collapse and then all of a sudden something was working its way up my asaphagus...so jeremy ran and grabbed my tub, I lost it three times! Meg woke up to the sound of me throwing everything up, I felt really bad...and for those who hate throwing up like I do, throwing up after having surgery on your stomach was the most pain I have felt in a LONG time and maybe ever that I can remember. Anyway after that fiasco everything has been looking up. Meg is at work today so mom picked me up from the hospital and we are on our way home now. Well bro sorry this was so long but I actually had something exciting to write about so I thought I would take advantage. I hope that things have gotten better with your comp! Exciting to hear about the babtisms! Also good to hear that you understand its about hard work and obedience, but also having fun too. I love you bro!
Love, andy

Well I've been promising my family in Nebraska an update for about a month now, and I'm sorry to say that I still don't have pictures of our new place to post on here but they will be up soon.
Things are going really well for us here. Andrew is still working for Wells Fargo and taking online classes from Utah State and I'm working at noble finance and going to The U. I must say that I've become quite keen of the University of Utah. I love my classes! Here they are for those of you who are wondering:
Teaching Health in Secondary Education
Health & Human Relations
Personal Resiliency
Facilitating Healthy Behaviors
Community Health Issues
Pilates
This upcoming week is going to be pretty busy. I have tests in 4 of my classes, 2 reaction papers due and two lesson plans due but I'm excited for the challenge and bizarrely motivated.
This weekend Andrew and I went to Ogden to spend some time with our friends Paul and Amelia. We had so much fun. We went to an institute dinner/dance, then we went to the end of the winter festival where we got to watch the fireworks, after that we went to back to Paul and Amelias to play a little Blokus (awesome game! for anyone who hasn't played it I would recommend it) and lastly we watched New Moon at the college. I don't think the boys were too crazy about the movie ( Andrew slept through half of it) but us girls enjoyed it.
Today was our first valentines day together as a married couple. Because it is Sunday and we are house sitting we were somewhat limited to what we could do, but of course that didn't stop Andrew. He made me a nice, what we like to call, Linner (The meal between lunch and dinner). It was easily the best valentines day ever because I got to spend it with my husband.
Well I should probably attempt to fall asleep because it is 4 AM, but before I do I'll post a few pics from our weekend. Hope all is well with everyone and hope everyone had an incredible Valentines Day.
Nebraska Fam, I promise to take some pics of our home soon. Sorry it's taking me so long. I love and miss you all!

Our Home Sweet (furnitureless) Home
We are finally getting settled in to our little place and we love it! Even though we have no furniture, it is awesome.
I have already been working at my new store since Tuesday and Megan is organizing the house and preparing for her first semester at the U.
Before I continue, I have to go on a little rant about the University I have been so loyal to since I can remember. The U of U has been incredibly hard to deal with!!!! We cant get a hold of anyone important and no one seems to know what the heck is going on around there!! Class is supposed to start on Monday but we cannot get the important things taken care of like financial aid and for some reason they have her listed as dependent still! It is ridiculous.
If we can get those things taken care of she should be ready to roll on Monday.
I am having a hard time updating the blog...not to sure what to write about. I am still with Wells Fargo...we are watching that 70's show...we got our washing machine and dryer today and have been tag teaming the laundry! Fun times together!
Speaking of being together, today is exactly 7 months from the day we got hitched! The past months have been the best of my life and I am not sure how it could get any better! I love it!
Today we celebrated with a little cafe rio...mmmm we missed that while we were away. Delicious!
Ben is serving at the bottom of the world right now in an area called Tierra Del Fuego a small island on the southern tip of south america. He seems to be doing just fine!
Mari and the baby are at my parents house and let me tell you, she is beautiful! The baby that is. Steve is in Afghanistan and I believe he will be home for a couple weeks in February.
Mal started school at UVU today and only dislikes one of her classes, the one Meg convinced her to take lol.
Aaron is living the easy life in high school and just purchased the sweetest looking Sax I have ever seen.
Bailey is at the Junior High and has the attitude to prove it! (side note:Bailey is about 5' 7" now, just a couple shy of me...i will most likely end up being the shortest in the fam)
Well I hope this was good enough of an update...personally I feel like Meg does a much better job at blogging than I do.

It's Official
This week has been pretty action-packed with all of our Christmas parties, a wedding, my mom visiting, Haley visiting, packing... yes I said packing and yes we are moving. So this action-packed week leaves me with no excuses to not blog because we actually have things to blog about.
I'll start with the big news that was made official last monday. Andrew and I are moving back to Utah On December 27th. Andy will be transferring through Wells Fargo which is nice because he enjoys working there and I will start school at The U in January. We are going to be living in Stansbury in the townhomes next to the highway. I'm a little nervous about going from a house into something smaller because it was hard enough to find room for all of our stuff in the house, I have a feeling we will be purging some of our things to eliminate clutter. Overall we are very excited to start a new-fangled adventure!
This past weekend we went to my Cousin, Levi's Wedding. We had alot of fun spending time with family and of course dancing. Andrew got to show my family his awesome, gangster dance moves. I think my mom loved them the most, she kept telling people to watch "her son in-law's" dance moves. She was pretty proud, as she should be because his dance moves are quite remarkable haha. My friend Haley Came out sunday night. It was so nice to have her here and just hangout like we used to. And like usual Andy showed us a good time, we are always laughing when he's around because he is always giving us reasons to make fun of him. I swear he does it on purpose but it's fine with me because we get a good laugh. Speaking of Andrew making me laugh, last night Andrew picked me up from work and as we're walking up stairs, he takes off his suit jacket and there is toilet paper hanging out of the top of his pants and not just a little bit. I'm talking 4 or 5 squares dangling out of there. I laughed for about an hour and have been telling the story all day.
Well I'm training the girl who will be taking my place, so I better get back to work. We love everyone back home and can't wait to see you soon.

Wicked Cool
I am updating the blog because of our weekend we spent down in KC Missouri.
It was the first time for me, andy. The city was pretty big and really dirty. As we were looking for our exit we accidentally missed it and ended up going in to Kansas City, Kansas. It was the dirtiest city I have ever seen in my life. For not being that big and definitely not the biggest city i have ever been to by a long shot (Toronto) it was amazingly dirty and terribly ugly! Luckily we found our way back to Mizzou and found our hotel.
After checking in to our hotel we decided to go check out some of the local restaurants, preferably a BBQ joint (KC is known for there barbecue). We made our way down to what they call the Plaza where we were directed to the location of Fiorelas Jack Stack Barbecue. If you think you know what barbecue is or what it should smell or taste like, it is very likely that you have NO IDEA what that is unless you have eaten at this KC original. It is near impossible for me to describe the aromas and the out of this world tastes that they provide at this institution.
After stuffing ourselves past what I thought was possible we made our way back to the hotel to sleep it off so that we would have enough energy for that evenings activities.
That night we went to see the musical Wicked. It was amazing! Easily the best show I have seen live and i have seen quite an array of shows. Everything about it was awesome, the best part was the girl who play Elphaba, the wicked witch, I have never in my life heard someone sing so well. I am not sure if anyone has heard this girl before but if you have you are lucky!
I think Meg really enjoyed herself, it was her first musical besides the high schools Les Mis earlier this year.
The entire trip was really nice and especially because we were just away from the everyday things in our lives and alone with each other.
This week we are trying to figure out a game plan for Christmas...it is kind of hard. With so many families doing so many different things makes it difficult.
One more thing about the trip. We had heard a lot of good things about these places called "Waffle House". Horrible, don't go there...dirty workers, dirty store, dirty tables, dirty dishes, dirty food.
