So I Think It's Time For An Update

So I know I haven't posted anything in like 6 months!! And a lot has happened. So we'll start with the beginning.........

April 6, 2010
Scott and I were sealed for time and all eternity. It seemed like our wait to get to the temple took forever, but that short year is nothing compared to eternity. We are so blessed to be members of the church and to have the opportunity to go through the temple together and we are excited to start our family off with that amazing blessing. We chose the Draper temple and were so lucky to have friends and family there to celebrate our special day.

I graduated from Southern Utah University with my Bachelors in Nursing!! Finally after a long four years of studying and crazy long days at the hospital Scott and I are excited to start a normal life together; its no fun having a wife in nursing school. I was lucky enough to have my parents drive down to Cedar City for the weekend to celebrate with us. I am really going to miss my nursing family, I wouldn't have made it through the last two years without them. I know they will all be successful in whatever they do with their careers.

Thanks for all the memories guys!!



May 15, 2010
This was the day Scott and I said goodbye to good ol' Cedar City and made our 24 hour journey to Houston, Texas to start our new life. It wasn't an easy decision, but we knew it was the right move to make. Scott got a job working for the Department of Defense as a Federal Auditor. He really is liking his job so far and seems to be pretty good at it. I spent the first month in Texas studying for the NCLEX and then got a job working at a hospital in the Texas Medical Center as a cardiovascular nurse. We really miss our families and friends back in Utah but hope to visit them as much as we can. We want to make it back to Utah one day, but for now we are enjoying the new environment and focusing on our careers. We have had fun exploring the new area, here are some pictures of some of our adventures.

The man I married.........

So isn't it during rough times that you are reminded of all your blessings and of how great life really is??!! Well life is good. And nothing is better than spending it with the one you love. Our first anniversary is Tuesday and I could not be more thrilled... Just thinking back at the last crazy year makes me excited for year number two. With thoughts of careers, moving, home buying, and maybe even family expanding, the stress level is high. There is no one else I would rather endure it with than my Scott! He truely has provided me with the best life I could imagine and I only wish to make it up to him everyday of our eternal lives. I decided to devote this blog to him, and to our marriage. The semester starts in about four hours, so if i dont write now, It'll probably never happen.
I LOVE YOU SCOTT..... Here are just a few of the reasons why.....
10. He is so quiet when I am sleeping after a long night if work- even when he is bored or horny!
9. He eats whatever I cook.... even when I won't eat it.
8. He goes to a job 5 days a week, no matter how miserable it can be.
7.He is full of surprises..... like he washed my filthy filthy car saturday while I was sleeping.
6. The random "I love you" and "I miss you" texts I get throughout the day.
5. I can trust him on anything.. You don't always appreciate the luxury of an honest husband until you don't have one.
4. 3. He lets me win arguments.... sometimes
3. He takes care of me... when I am upset or sick, he listens to me and makes it all better.
2. He knows me. Very well too. AND he still loves me.
1. He is very good looking... hmm hmm. nuff said.

Well hopefully we'll be blogging soon about our temple sealing... anyday now!

BIRTHDAY BOYS

It's birthday time for the Hatch boy's. Jon turned 26 (holy cow!) August 5th, and Jeremy advanced to a new,hopefully more mature stage of life, 18 years old on July 27th. They are some pretty awesome boys. Both are workaholics who love their families. Jon likes to spend time with his girls and in the outdoors (when he's not working). No one really knows what Jeremy does with his spare time...hanging with the ladies??

Sorry I wasn't able to see you guys on your birthdays!! Thanks for being the best brothers a sister could ask for.... not very often does a girl get a hug and an "Love ya sis" from her brothers whenever I see them. Even though it is almost always followed by a wet-willy!!
Love ya guys... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Jeremy in Hawaii... trying to be a bad a**

Our Visit to Lehi

We spent almost an entire week in Lehi last month!! It was definately overdue. I missed my family so so much. Scott was awesome and took three days off work so we could go to the Colonal's picnic!!(which is always poorly scheduled on a wednesday!) We also spent a whole day at Lagoon, which was a blast, and it was darn hot! We took my little sis Jayme and one of her gal pals. The rest of the week we just shopped with mom, and played with my nieces Ady and Hanna (they are getting so big!!) It might be a while before we get back up there, so I'm glad we were able to spend so much time with them while we could. School starts in almost 2 weeks so our visiting time is going to be extremely limited.

Also.... last week, Mom and Jayme drove to Cedar to visit ME!! Of course they had to come check out the new apartment!! It was so great to have them here, those Hatch girls are the best!! Too bad Nikki wasnt able to come play and shop... maybe next time.

Married Six Months

Yep, we had our six month anniversary on Sunday... can't believe we're already half way through our first year, but at the same time it feels like its been longer!! Of course I got stuck working on the holiday weekend, but I came home at 6 am to a beautiful vase of roses Scott had for me on our kitchen table!! (kinda a big deal!!) He's pretty awesome!! He had Friday off, so we celebrated the Fourth and our anniversay by spending the day at Sand Hollow.... It was about a hundred degrees, and now we're fried!! I really love our visits to St. George, nothing better than the sun, the mall, and ice cream.... oh and spending time with my Scott.

Of course I have no pictures of our visit to the lake. After the Red Cliffs incident, Scott doesnt let me bring my phone or camera near any lakes, rivers, swimming pools, or even in the bathroom!!!

MOAB 2009

Scott and I spent a couple days in Moab last week. It was a sunny/rainy blast!! We went with a large group from BYU that goes every year called the "Mass Moab Trip". We were amongst probably 200 BYU campers... you know what a huge BYU fan Scott is!! I went last year, but this was Scott first trip to Moab. It was a lot of fun showing him all there is to see in beautiful Moab. We spent one day rafting down the Colorado River, which turned out to be the only day we saw no rain!! We both came home with terrible sun burns on our shins.... who would've thought to put sunscreen there!!! It was fun , we like to believe we were the fastest kayak in the group! After three days of hiking, we barely caught a glimpse of what Moab has to offer, maybe we'll have to go back next year!!

WE"RE FINALLY MOVING

So we finally found a new apartment and we're moving, NEXT WEEK!!!! We're so excited. It is on the entire other side of town, right behind the hospital. Wich means I get to walk to work, and its super close to Scott's work too! It is way nicer than our place right now, and better neighbors too. We just cannot handle another day of our trumpet playing, music blasting, smoking, drug dealing neighbors.... no offense. I will try to post some cute pics when we are all moved in.
