BOO!!!

It's pretty sad that I'm still playing blogger catch up. And yet...Im so behind that I am just now posting about Halloween. Oh well, at least its getting done right? I am going to make a goal (after i get caught up) to blog at least once a week! We will see how it goes.

I have a love/hate relationship with this specific holiday. I love the candy, and getting to see all the costumes, and hanging out with family and friends. BUT i absolutely hate being scared. Therefore i stay far far away from haunted houses, haunted hospitals, well... basically haunted ANYTHING! Im a huge chicken and Im afraid i will never be able to get over it.

This year my hubby was working on actual Halloween :(... but I got to spend time with our AWESOME neighbors and of course my sweet little cousin Kai. She definitely won costume of the year...

ARGGGGGGGGGG.

She was having lots of fun at the Hollerman's house!

Lance even brought out her right hand man...The parrot!

I dont think she was too enthused...

Thank you Shalon and Neil for bringing Kai over to see her favorite Aunt and Cousin ;)!! You guys rock and we love you so so much!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!



Hogs Heaven with the Parentals!

Austin has talked to Ryon about Hogs Heaven ever since he became part of the family. Which in return...as made ry anxious to see everything that was exchanged between there many many conversations. Now... you have to know ry...he LOVES scenery, old time things, and getting to hear about the history behind it all. And Austin... he loves to share the unique stories of their property. So...we finally found a weekend that worked for all of us, and Austin took my parents up to see the beautiful place!

Ryon and my mom were in complete awe at how beautiful it really was. Ryon would say over and over again..."You cannot describe this place in words or pictures. They dont capture it all. You really just have to see it in order for it to take your breath away." && I have to admit ry, that is very true! Pictures are enough for memories, but they dont beat experiencing it yourself...

One of the points. So pretty!

The wind was a little extreme if you cant tell!

Like... THIS BIG.

This tree didnt seem to mind being on the edge of a GIANT cliff.

Looking down into the narrows

Yes.. of course the boys had to throw a huge rock off the cliff and listen to it hit. They are entertained WAY to easy ;)

Love HIM!

Like I said.. Ry LOVED the old mill. His mind was ticking 10000 miles an hour of how we could get it going again, in case we ever needed it!

Some old hats hanging in the shed at the mill.

Austin's great grandpas very first cabin! Still standing! so awesome.

After a long day of touring the place, we came back to the cabin for some rest and joined the crowd! Lets just say it was a very FUN and INTERESTING night! As you can always imagine with the Bulloch's. Never a dull moment!

As described above! Never a dull moment. Cousin Scott was sick of the wood chair breaking so he just decided to burn it. Nobody would miss it right??

Mom and Ry, Thanks SO much for the great weekend. Austin and I hope you had a great time and got to see everything you wanted to see. If not, thats ok, Im married to the kid so we can go up anytime we would like! ;). Love you guys!

The BM- No, not bowel movement...BATTLE MOUNTAIN

Ever since Austin started working for Legacy, he has been stationed in Battle Mtn, Nevada. Its located in Northern Nevada and has been named "The Armpit of America" TWICE by the New York Times. No lie. :) I dont think Austin was too excited about moving out there, but after a few months he repeatedly told me that he actually didnt mind it. He had met quite a handful of people that were very nice and they were always willing to help Aust and his crew out whenever needed.

I laughed when he told me he was enjoying it (other than the fact that I wasnt out there with him). I mean...the town was an armpit and the population was extremley low. In fact, I dont even know if theres a comparable city here in Utah. Are you picturing what I was picturing when i first heard about it? Scary right?

I finished school in July and was awaiting a response from the nursing school I was hoping to get in to when Austin asked me to move out to Battle Mountain with him for a few months. I was surprised with my response...seeing how I had heard how hickish it was haha. BUT I was tired of being away from my new husband and it just seemed so perfect and right to move out with him. So we loaded up the 5th wheel trailer will all my clothes and accessories and off we went! Yes, we lived in the 5th wheel for almost 3months. We had so much fun and I wouldnt of had it any other way!

I am so glad I did. We had so many amazing experiences AND I met so many wonderful people. I was so lucky to be able to land a job in Physical Therapy with some of the GREATEST therapists I have ever come in contact with. Lyle and Mary were so awesome and I cant thank them enough for hiring me for the short time I was out there. I also became EXTREMELY close to one of the nurses at the hospital, Shanna, who was always there for me, helped me in any way that she could, and was so fun to be around. She had the cutest 3 girls EVER and I loved getting to spend time with them.

Thank you Lyle and Shanna for everything you guys did for me in the BM. Im so glad I got to experience the things I did with you guys. Ill be back to visit soon! This will be a journey Austin and I will never forget!

Here's the cute girls I got to babysit! Kenz, Krys, Liv

Last night in the BM. We were sad :(

Aust me and the girls on our last night

My AWESOME bosses charting. Lyle rarely does this so I had to capture the moment :)

My co-worker Nicole hard at work...

Fun at the park..

I came out from work, headed to lunch, and this is what was on my door. I have the best hubby EVER.

Having a little fun with "Just Dance". Kyller and Austin getting at it!

Aussie LOVEs the park too in BM. She even learned a new trick...



the WEDDING/RECEPTION

So... On the 28th of this month, Austin and I will have been married for 5 months!! CRAZY! It's amazing how fast time flies when your having fun with your best friend. These last months have been so adventurous for us! Which is how it should be for newlyweds right? ;). We have been living in Battle Mtn, Nevada!!! Yes, believe it or not Aust talked me in to moving out to BFE with him. & I couldn't of been happier when I got out there! Ill give more details on that adventure in another post. For now...we have got to talk about our AMAZING wedding day.

We were married May 28th, 2011 at the Zaphs house...also known as Diamond Z ranch. And let me tell you... are day could not have been any better. After months of stress and worry, everything turned out just the way we wanted it and we have SO many people to thank for that. One of them including god. Here's why...

On May 27th 2011 god gave us a day of windy, rainy, cold weather.

On May 29th 2011 god gave us a day full of blizzard snow.

On May 28th you ask?? Well... fortunately god gave us a day full of blue skies, chirping birds, and degrees in the high 70's.

I must say...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sending good weather our way! That definitely completed our wedding package.

I also wanted to send a big thank to EVERYONE who helped Austin and I with our big day. We are so lucky to have all you amazing people in our lives. I'd like to send a special thanks to Renn and Ree for letting us get married at there BEAUTIFUL ranch! I could not have imagined us saying "I do" anywhere else. P.s. Chris Hone...THANK YOU for all the work you put in to make the ranch look absolutely fantastic! We would also like to thank Donna and Keith for letting us have our reception in their backyard and for all the hard work they did to make it look absolutely fantastic as well. And let me tell you...there was LOTS of work put in to that backyard. For example...

 Aunt Donna got all the boys together in the family and requested that they ride up the mountain and cut down PERFECT pine trees. These pine trees were going to be used in her backyard...to hide the neighbors yard behind her, the telephone lines, etc. haha. Watching those boys grumble and argue is something I will never forget. Thank you Aunt Donna for caring so much about the looks of your yard for my wedding and for making it a good laugh ill never forget!

Aust, thank you for being everything I have ever wanted. You are such an amazing husband and I cannot imagine life without you. I am so lucky to have a best friend, a lifelong companion, and a man that is willing to do anything and everything for me. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and I hope you know how much I love you!!

The moral of this blog was given above. However I am going to give you all a little taste of our special day. I know it is probably too late to be posting wedding pictures on a blog that you are supposed to keep up on, but better late than never right?

So glad these beautiful and handsome kids were able to be part of our big day! We love you all so much!
