My friend DeAnn did this on her blog and I loved reading it! So here's a blast from the past for you! (hopefully you'll enjoy it!)
Peachtree City, Georgia (2001-2002) Met, Dated and got married in 2001. What an awesome year. Match made in Heaven, we say. Honeymooned in North Carolina, at a cabin in the middle of no where! Got Riley Cat as a baby, loved that little thing. Lived in the Summit Apartments, where the new wal-mart is in PTC. Had a one bedroom...now I was a wife and had to cook! Oh dear. Both worked for my dad...good times. Opportunity knocked and it was in St. George...
Favorite Things: Golf cart rides and scary bushes! Eeek! Borrowing my dad's Trans Am for date nights, Teasing Riley Cat, being newly weds, eating out, starting a new life together...
St. George, Utah (2002-2004)
Married for 8 months, we headed off to sunny St. George to start a new job building houses for Uncle Randy. We were so excited! Our first real adventure together! Drugged our kitty and he slept in the litterbox in the U-haul. Little did we know what an adventure it would really be...Travis cut off his thumb Sept '02 and we got pregnant Oct '02! Yikes! Found out we were having a girl...awwwww.Favorite Things: Having our 1st Baby, Building our first Home, Living by Travis' grandparents and family, my my awesome job at the Cancer Clinic and making life long friend Linda, Riding dirt bikes and quads in ourbackyard (along the Virgin River) Hanging out with the Loris family, Pizza Factory breadsticks! A 4 Hr. car ride to my sister Emily!
San Antonio, Texas (2004-2005)
After Travis cut off his thumb, we decided to take another route with his career! My brother found us a job and we moved out there quickly. We could not believe how Texans thought the country ruled around them! They even had a burger at McDonalds called the Texas Burger. Also a special edition truck--same thing. I thought it was hilarious. Coming from dry heat to humidity was quite the adjustment! Kaylin was 8 months when we drove out there and we got pregnant with Ethan Chase!Favorite Things: Sea World!--got teary watching Shamu and got to pet dolphins! Friends! Oh we loved our friends, they were so fun--BBQ nights BYOM! The Sharps! Living by my brother was great, Kaylin and Karinn were kindred spirits.
Sharpsburg and Newnan, Georgia (2005-present)
Moving here was a hard one. When Travis' brother Danen passed away, we came back to Georgia for the funeral and both knew we had to move here. It was rough at first, but we both grew stronger as individuals and as a family. Kaylin was 3 and Ethan was 4 months old when we moved to Sharpsburg. We moved to Newnan about a year later. Rollercoaster ride. Had Aidrian in 2008. Here comes the silver lining...Favorite Things: Halloween, Living near grandparents and family, Making new friends--oh so fabulous! Chick Fil-A, Kaylin at Joy School now Kindergarten, A great ward and an awesome Bishop! A risk free pregnancy and healthy baby girl, Making a home and staying here...

I am glad you showed travis's thumb. It was gruesome and awesome at the same time while looking at it. Jonathan is sitting next to me and he smells
Jonathan just got mad at me saying" don't write that! i don't smell". So i will just say that he likes poo.
that's a cool post! you guys look so much younger in the first pics! don't worry you still look great!
Great post. I learned a lot about you! We honeymooned in a cabin in the middle of nowhere too--Star Valley, WY.
That was a fun blog. I have alot of the same memories of packing and then packing and then packing some more. The memories in each place have been great, but I will never miss the packing. :)
That was so fun to read. I should try this too for my benefit, only it'll take me double the time it took you to get this posted(: Glad we get to be in your lives!
Fun trip down memory lane. Good times!
