Wow, Cody and I have been married for 4 years. It seems like we've known each other for much longer but it's only been a short amount of time. 

We've accomplished a lot together, made a lot of great memories and grown so much from four years ago!

We've both graduated from college, which I never thought would happen and Cody received his Masters. I'm on my way to getting a Masters and building my voice studio. 

Cody has had 2 jobs and I have had 5. Some fun....most not. Cody says I get bored easily :)

We've lived in an apartment and now are house sitting. We've owned 5 vehicles (really) and love what we own now. We've traveled to New York, California, Idaho and are one day hoping to go to North Carolina and in a couple of years going to Africa on a Safari. Thanks Logan :) 

We love going camping together and have made a lot of fun memories along the way.

Since we've been married, we've both been involved in summer school so going camping and getting out together has always been a challenge. Homework, work, projects and money have just gotten in the way of doing the things that we want. For almost two years now I've been telling Cody it would be fun to have a campout in the living room or even in our backyard. That way we're at home, can use the internet if we need and walk inside for anything we need. He was okay with the backyard campout but wasn't too keen on the living room campout. So I patiently waited for when I could talk him into the idea. 

When I brought up our anniversary a few months ago, he told me that he already had something in mind and everything was taken care of. 

So, Wednesday, he came home and shooed me out the door so he could get things ready. I came back to pick him up and we drove to Chick-Fil-A for dinner. Now, it had just started snowing on our way there. Driving home was terrifying because the road was nearly invisible but we luckily made it home. Cody had to pry my hands off the steering wheel when we got home but we made it!

Then, he handed me a flashlight and told me to follow the trail...

I had the best opportunity to work with my best friend Melanie on Phantom of the Opera. She's the director at Box Elder and let me come help out. I was officially the assistant to the director. Just call me Shrute everyone. :)

Before the production they held a benefit dinner that I got to perform at. Everyone dressed in black, red and white. There was a silent auction, entertainment and dinner and it was such a success!

I absolutely love Disneyland! So after my senior recital we decided to celebrate. It took some major convincing on my part to get Cody to Disneyland. He thought that it was only for kids. Silly boy. 

As soon as we arrived (from the terribly long drive) we went straight to the park for some serious play time.
