August, September, October, November, Oh My!

After Hawaii in May, we went to California for 10 days with my family at the end of July. I was going to go alone since Colton had just gotten a promotion at work. So I left on Friday with my family and Colton stayed behind but... I was "that" needy wife and called him less than 12 hours after leaving to have him come out. He hopped right in the car and drove 6 hours to come spend the rest of the vacation with me. In case you haven't heard, he is the BEST :) Colton and I don't spend a whole lot of time apart from each other. I mean, we live together and work at the same office (different departments) so I don't know how to be without him. Sounds silly but it's the honest truth. I feel so lucky because I never have to be away from him and on the rare occasions where we do spend a day or two apart from each other, I almost don't know what to do with myself because I miss him too much.

Side Note: I'm going to brag about Colton here for a second because... well because he deserves it. When I met Colton I knew he was absolutely amazing but every day since we have been together he gets more and more amazing. He is always so patient, loving and caring. I have never laughed more in my life than when we are together. He really is my best friend and the best husband. When I used to picture what I wanted my husband to be like, it was Colton. He has absolutely everything and more than what I wanted in a husband. Needless to say, I feel lucky to call him mine.


August:


Alright, now that the sappy love stuff is behind us, back to California. We went with all my siblings and parents. We all went to Disneyland one of the days and other than that we just were lazy on the beach and shopped. Here's some pictures from those 10 days: (sorry for the lack of pictures, I only took my iphone)

Spent the day at Venice beach. Cute Rayleigh was the only one I told I was taking a picture

The picture Colton sent me to tell me he was driving to Cali to come be with me :)


I wouldn't let her eat sand...

September:

September 2, 2012 Colton and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary :) We went to stay at a resort in Scottsdale and saw a movie at the Ipic theater. Sadly, there is not a single picture from that weekend. Man, I really need to get better at taking pictures. New goal! I felt like after being married 2 years we were no longer "newly weds". We are now just an old married couple. 

October:

For Halloween, Colton dressed up as Jack Sparrow (yes, he made me even do eye liner on him) for our work party and I dressed up as.... drum roll.... NOTHING! Haha! I don't like to dress up. Colton's family loves to dress up though and they all looked super cool!

November: 

We spent thanksgiving riding horses and spending time with my sister who came down with her kids and husband. Some pictures from November:

I spent thanksgiving day and black Friday hanging out with these cute kids





Colton let a baby llama kiss him on the face


So attractive, mmmm... I mean, that's Colton... shooting a gun.

And of course, we spent lots of time outside at my parents farm



The girl who has so much to be thankful for,

Erica
