House Pictures

Here are a few pictures of our house (sorry they aren't very good cell phone pictures). It's still a work in progress, but we're getting there. Scott is begging me to put pictures up on the walls, but I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment!

We're Home Owners!!

...We just don't have any keys yet. Everything is signed and done (after being an hour late to our closing! Almost died yesterday due to Scott's driving.). We just have to wait for everything to get entered in at the clerks office or something like that, and then we'll get the keys. We should get them today, and then moving party tomorrow! This is so exciting! After we closed yesterday we went and wandered around Ikea, imagining if we had a million dollars to spend and what we would spend it on. We came out only $80 poorer. Not too shabby! Happy moving day tomorrow!... hopefully.

House...maybe

We might close on our house next week! Oh happy day!! No more 45 minute commute a million times a day! No more waking up freaking early to make time for the commute! No more waiting around at work for 2-3 hours waiting for Scott to get off work (since we only have one car)! No more riding the bus home and falling asleep on a stranger's shoulder! And no more spending $400 a month for gas! This will be so great! We'll keep ya posted!

Photo Booth

I love the photo booths that people have at their weddings! Why wasn't that around when we got married? We love them. So if any one is getting married, and is going to have a photo booth, please invite us! We would love the grace the pages of your wedding book with some of these classic photos!

Oh, Hi!

I am so behind on posting, that I have just given up lately. There is so much I want to blog about from last year, such as trip to Japan, picking up my sis from her mission in Arkansas & Tennessee, moving from our beloved Arizona, Scott's 3oth birthday, multiple home offers (still no home though), and much more. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to post everything from last year, but for now I'll just stick with the present.

Scott & I have been living with his oldest brother and his family for the last 6 months, while we've been house hunting. Scott just finished getting his EMT certification and is working a couple other jobs as well. We are in contract with a house in "Cougar Country." Hopefully this one works out! There's been a lot of change recently, but change is good. We're still working on the baby situation, but we know things will happen when they are suppose to. We love our life. We love our puppies. We love our families. We love the gospel. And best of all, We love each other.

our story

Jetti was working at Rafaels when she first served Scott's parents. They hit it off instantly, and so his mom decided to ask if Jetti had a boy friend. Jetti replied, "Sort of, he's on his mission right now, but I am dating other guys." As soon as that was said Scott's mom whipped out photos of her single boys. The first time Scott and Jetti actually saw each other was when Jetti served the entire Andrewsen family. This was for Scott's parents birthdays in October. Over the next few months Jetti and Scott occasionally worked together at the restaurant when Scott picked up some shifts. One night when they were working together in late January, Scott decided that they were going to hang out that night after work. Jetti informed Scott that she already had plans with some of her girl friends. Scott was persistent, played that they'd already agreed on plans and that she was breaking them, and even went as far as calling the girls to cancel the other plans. That didn't work. The girls showed up to the restaurant as it was closing, as planned. Scott headed home, and Jetti and her friends couldn't think of anything to do. So they too were just going to head home. As Jetti was driving home, she decided to take Scott up on his offer. She called back to the restaurant and got Scott's phone number from the manager. She called him, and she and the girls went and hung out at with him and his brother. They set up an official date for the next week, and after that they were inseparable.
