NEW HOUSE!!!

On June 23rd Josh and I became official house owners! It was one of the biggest events that has happened in our 8 months of marriage! It is in Taylorsville. The house is just over 2300 Square feet, it sits on 0.22 acres, inside there is 5 beds and 2 baths. The house has not been lived in for over 8 months (kinda weird coincidence) so it needs a little love and care We are also making two of the bedrooms one big master bedroom :) No worries Josh and I are both young and ready to make this house a home! We are so excited and so grateful to be able to start living in a house and getting out of the apartment scene! Our families have been so supportive and so much fun to share this big experience with!
As for right now I am only going to post the pics of the front and the back, as we are in the middle of the whole remodeling processes! When I have the before and after pics I will get them up, until then I hope these will do!
I will also get the new pics of the yard up sometime tomorrow so that you will be able to see the 180 difference in the yard :)

HUBBY TAG, You're it!

This is a hubby Tag...
What is his name? Joshua Robert Mills

How long have you been together? Well I have been friends with Josh since we were 8 years old, so that is about 15 years, but we have only been together since December of 2006

How long did you date? We dated for 10 months before we were married in October of 2007

How old is he? 23

Who eats more? Josh eats way more! He always ends up eating double of whatever I make, or whenever we go out, or if we eat at my moms house :) He loves his food, and he has a super fast metabolism and can do it :) He is so HOT

Who said I love you first? He did...

Who is taller? Definitely Josh, He is 6 feet and I am almost 5'4"

Who can sing better? We both can sing and carry a tune and we love to sing when we are in the car :) But I honestly think Josh is an amazing singer and should use his talent more, but he won't.

Who is smarter? It just depends on the situation. We both have our areas of expertise! Josh is so logical and can learn just about anything. I have lots of street smarts and common knowledge that I have acquired along the way! We both have strengths to help balance each other out :)

Who does the laundry? That would be me for sure :)

Who pays the bills? Josh is so good about this and keeps things in order so well, so I let him take care of that and he lets me know what is going on.

Who sleeps on the right side? Joshua

Who mows the lawn? Josh and if you ask him about his new lawn mower he can talk about it for hours. It's his new pride and joy. I am so glad that Josh can get so excited over something that is so productive!

Who cooks dinner? That would be me again, and I love to do it!

Who drives? Josh its just better that way for both of us

Who is more stubborn? Probably me, Josh is so patient and understanding!

Who kissed who first? Josh was for sure the one to do this! If you are Josh's friend I am sure you know him as the kissing King! It was the summer before Josh left on his mission and before I went down to college. We were out talking in front of my house when all of a sudden he got really close to me and trapped me between him and his car! At first I couldn't believe I was kissing Josh Mills my friend I have known my whole life so after the weird factor left I realized WOW he really is an amazing kisser!

Who proposed? Josh did. We had planned a Saturday to head down to St. George to go hiking. Well we had hiked all the way up to one of the highest peaks when I asked Josh if he would get me a drink out of the pack I had been packing around with all day long, when he came out from behind me and asked if I wanted to be his wife. I was in shock not just because Josh asked me to marry him but also because it was me who was carrying the ring around all day long! He is so sneaky! I was so happy I could barely make it back down the mountain! SEE PICTURE FOR THE PLACE AND DAY WHERE IT HAPPENED!

Who has more friends? Josh has a lot that he still talks with, but I am so happy that almost all of his friends have now become my friends too! We are pretty even I think!

Who is more sensitive? ME, not one of my better qualities

Who has more siblings? Josh for sure! I am an only child, Josh has 4 Brothers and 3 Sisters.

Who wears the pants? Probably Josh, he is a really good leader (even if he won't admit it) and he has lots of good ideas. But We always discuss things first and make sure that its ok with both of us!

That was fun! Try to reply if you can!

LAKE POWELL

Last week Josh and I were able to travel down to lake Powell with Josh's family and spend a few days soaking up the sun, wake boarding, boating, fishing, and just enjoying some good family time! We both had such a blast and now have some great memories that will last forever!
The first day we were able to get in lots of tubing on the amazing tube Josh's uncle has. It is so amazing because it can never flip over, I am so grateful for that! I have never laughed so hard riding that tube with Mak (Josh's sister) If you look at the pics you will see I am laughing in every single one. It really was a great ab workout!
The second day we got some good wake boarding in! You can see how amazing my husband is at wake boarding but don't expect to see any pics of me because while I was wake boarding (which I can) Josh was driving the boat, helping me to have perfect wake boarding conditions :) he really is so great at pretty much everything!
The third day we spent a lot of time on the fun beach we found and had a blast swimming and cliff jumping :) We were also able to wake board and ride the tube some more. On the way back at the end of the day Mak, Landon, and I were on the tube and Josh was driving the boat. Josh was trying to give us the ride of a lifetime taking us through every wake and choppy area of water he could find, when all of a sudden he saw the Ferry and noticed the enormous wake that was behind it. Now I really don't know if you have ever seen one of those Ferry's that carry the cars from one side of lake Powell to the other but they are huge! Josh hit that wake and we flew at least 10 feet in the air. I have never laughed so hard in all my life :)
The fourth day was mainly clean up and time to head back to real life :(
Each night Josh and I walked down to the boat Marina and were able to look at all the beautiful Cruisers and huge house boats! It was about a 2 mile walk each night and as we were headed back we were able to look at the beautiful starry nights.
What a great family vacation, and what a fun way to get a tan! I am so grateful to have such wonderful In-laws who care so much about Josh and myself. I can't wait for Bear lake in just a few short weeks!
(liz this is my first real blog lets hope that is how I am supposed to do it :))

Will get to Blogging soon!

Sorry I haven't posted anything new or exciting... Josh and I are headed to Lake Powell this week and when we get back next week I promise to get some good pics up of powell and our new house :) 

Let the Blogging Begin!
