Updates in our lives :)

Well, it's been a while since I posted any updates! I have misplaced my camera but when I find it I assure you there will be pictures! We have been busy bees in the Wright household!

Dustin has been able to travel for work a little in the last month which he enjoys. He's become quite technically savvy which is cool, and he is faster at typing than me now! :) He's gained a lot of good job skills while working with the computer company. It's awesome to see him grow!

We both are still 'in progress' with our health. We joined the same gym and find it's easier to go with the other's motivation. I love that we can take on that challenge together instead of having to go it alone. My weight loss has stalled for the time being, but I am hoping it will pick up again soon. I seem to be sitting comfortably within the same 5 lbs or so, but it's high time for me to get back in to gear! I have vowed I will not go off for the holidays again as this has been the main cause of the stalling!! :)

I am taking a class right now toward my childcare licensing, it's called "Tearless Discipline". It makes my work days long (15 hours) but it is good to have under my belt and it's worth it to know more about the right ways to raise a family, etc! I love my job and I'm happy to have a job I enjoy that has some awesome benefits! :)

We are also excited to think about purchasing a home toward the end of the year. Dustin still likes to car shop even though he knows he won't be getting one anytime soon. lol!

In the last month we were able to see Jenae's wedding down in Utah. It was great, though short unfortunately. We got to see our niece and nephews who have all grown so much! It's great to be able to love on nieces and nephews when we don't have children of our own yet :)

Anyway, I will be posting pics soon! Love you all!

Vincente :)

We watched Katie's beautiful baby, Vincent, the other day and it was so fun :) He is such a doll!

Christmas!

We were excited to celebrate Christmas this year. It was our second Christmas as a married couple, but considerably better than last Christmas! We each bought each other presents, and then went to the dollar store and got 10 things each for our stockings! We opened our gifts on Christmas Eve, then headed over to my parent's house for celebrations.

I got an IPOD Nano (YAY!!), A spa gift certificate!!, and more! Duzzy got some of the movies he wanted, cologne, a watch, and more :) We also put a bunch of silly gifts in our stockings which were fun to open :) At my parent's house we had an authentic Mexican meal with my parent's friends and on Christmas day we had an american meal.

It was all very fun and relaxing! We look forward next year to celebrating the holidays in our new house, woo hoo :) We wish everyone a very happy New Year and hope 2009 brings you a lot of joy and that you accomplish the things you hope to! Dustin and I want to double our efforts and work on our health this year :) We also want to work on getting everything in order to buy house and we are saving $$ so we can return to Peru around the fall of 2010 ! :)

Merry late Christmas everyone :)

Thanksgiving!

Sorry this has taken so long!! We have been busy busy.

So for Thanksgiving we made Sandy's famous rolls, well, DUSTIN made her famous rolls. They were delicious!!! He was a perfectionist about it, it was so cute :)

This is us on Thanksgiving day, it was a wonderful day! Those are tests in my hand, you guys all know that story. Anyway, we had a wonderful, relaxing day. It wasn't as we had originally planned but it was wonderful nonetheless!

Dustin had a great time picking up the pies with my dad from Marie Callendars (Mmmmm) and helping out in general. We all mingled, drank sparkling cider, and played Scrabble. It was so fun. This is my dad and Dustin!

My mom and I had a great time chatting and enjoying our Thanksgiving in their brand new house! It's gorgeous!

My brother Jared was there too, which was a wonderful blessing. My mom had a fun time joking around and french braiding his long 'do'.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Happy Anniversary to us!

Dustin and I have been married now for one year officially! Here's a synopsis of our first, wonderful year together! :) :)

December 07: We were married in the Boise Idaho Temple!! It was a wonderful day and we were so excited to finally be husband and wife! We stayed in the anniversary Inn for the first night then hopped on a plane to Acapulco!! :) We still talk about how we miss Acapulco and how fun it was for us! We both moved in to Dustin's apartment and kicked Devan out :)

January 08: We traded my Honda CRV in for our first car together! A little Saturn Ion, was very fun! We saw our nephew Vincent be born (well Dustin did!)
We also got our first and last pet together. He was a baby ferret named Cubby. Sadly, he was already sick when we got him, and when his condition worsened, we took him to the vet and decided the most humane thing to do was to put him down. It was really sad and caused me some heartache, but we decided after that that we won't ever own a pet again!

February 08: We celebrated Valentine's Day together :)

March 08: Dustin home for one year from Peru! Woo hoo! We went on our first road trip as a married couple, to Utah. We visited Jenny and had some fun :).

April 08: We went on a special date together and celebrated our first Easter as a couple!

May 08: Devan and Mom and Dad Wright went on their missions! Dustin and I moved in to their home to take care of it for them! Dustin got a new job!

June 08: We went to Cancun Mexico on a wonderful church history trip and had a ton of fun! Lyndsey turned 22! Woo hoo :)

July 08: We celebrated 4th of July relaxing and making a gourmet meal!

August 08: We took several trips in this month! Bear Lake for family reunions and more!

September 08: Lyndsey started Weight Watchers :) We had a lot of visitors from out of town stay with us!

October 08: Dustin turned 23! We had a great Halloween and Lyndsey also hit the one year mark working for Kidlink! Lots of fun!!

November 08: We celebrated Thanksgiving with Lyndsey's family and found out we were pregnant, shortly after losing it :( We will probably hold off before trying again due to some things we want to accomplish beforehand now! We celebrated 5 years together!

December 08: We've hit one year! Yay! Christmas, here we come! Lyndsey's still on weight watchers, working through a plateau ;)

So that's a quick synopsis of our year together. The details haven't been filled in but there you have it!!!!! :-D

We hope that 2009 brings all of you joy and that you can fulfill your dreams!

Our 'Children'

So I went on to this site by accident almost, it's a site that combines your facial features in pictures and makes your 'child'. Hahahahaha. :) Here are a few results, enjoy ;)

Well, she's a sweet spirit, ok?

Our 'daughter' haha

This one looks a lot like Dustin when he was a kid, crazy!

I think the little boy might just be the cutest! :)

For those that knew...

...That we were pregnant, we just found out it's not a viable pregnancy and we will be miscarrying. I am sad, but here's hope for the future. Love you all.
