A few pictures to start...

This is the living room of our apartment, we never did put up the rest of the pictures before moving out. There really wasn't place on the walls to hang them up, and with both of us working, there just never was time to put them up either....it took us 2 and 1/2 months to get the picture up of the Savior.

This is just the dining area of the house. Somehow I haven't taken pictures of the whole house yet, I thought I did...but again we've been so busy. We aren't even completely unpacked yet and we've been in for about a month. We are LOVING our house, and are so excited for Jamison's parents to come and stay the night with us on Saturday. Which reminds me, gotta get those boxes out of the guest room to fit the bed frame for the guest bed. We have a lot to do this weekend! eck!
Thanksgiving in St. George was spent at Jamison's uncle's place. I met some cousins and aunts/uncles that we didn't see at the wedding, and we had fun with the family. :) That was Thursday, the rest of the weekend was spent packing and moving from the apartment to the house ---all the big things anyway ---.
And as always, Thanksgiving can not exist without nap time! :D (This is Kent, Jamison's stepdad).
And we ended out our stay in Utah with a visit to meet Jamison's grandfather on his mom's side. And he is a crack up! He had us laughing so hard. In this picture he was putting hot sauce on his ice cream. We all didn't believe that he eats it on his ice cream, but he did it, AND ate it...and somehow seemed to enjoy it! Whatever floats the boat! :) It was a fun and exciting weekend.
Now we're all moved into the house, and we're slowly putting everything in it's place. It's so weird to actually have a place for everything, and on top of that, to be the one to decide where I want everything to be.....it's weird. But fun! And we'll hopefully have everything unpacked by the time Jamison's parents come Saturday afternoon. Crossing fingers! I'd better get off here.... wish me luck! :)

I'm lame

Please excuse my horrible horrible self as I have not yet posted pictures. Life has been hectic and every once in a while I get a chance to breathe. At home I'll walk at top speeds to do everything I need and as I pass the camera in it's little drawer, I think about grabbing it and taking it with me to work - where i have internet to upload and post the pictures - and then the thought is gone as my mind continues on in the necessities of the day.

The pictures WILL go up. I may just have to do it all in a picture overload post once Jamison gets out of school this week.

My apologizes.

Don't give up on me.

Thanks,

Amy

Sunday dinner

We had my family and my grandparents over for dinner on Sunday! I LOVED it! Jamison is a fancy schmancy type of person so we put out some of our best dinnerware (because weird enough, we have 5 dinnerware sets. One is simple, another is elegant, another is just. plain. ugly. but Jamison LOVES it. and the others are lovely as well.) And we cooked at our place and hosted a pot luck.

It was one of my favorite Sunday dinners of all time. We had great food, the best company, and finished it off with a nice game of Apples to Apples. ahhh...lovely. :)

Grandpa took pictures, I took 1. Once I can regain my sanity enough to remember the camera so I can download pictures I'll get some pics up here. Don't give up on me. I will do it soon!

~Amy :)

I've got that feeling...

You feel it? I LOVE this feeling. The feeling of love everywhere...the feeling that no one could make me unhappy today no matter what they tried to do. The feeling of peace, happiness, hope.

yeah....I am loving it. Off of work at 2pm today. Then it's off to pack, finish a gift for our niece, make a quick trip to Joann's for some Christmas decorations, and then it's off to St. George for a few days. Thanksgiving weekend, here. I. come. :)

New casa

We are now in our new home! We don't have everything moved from the apartment to the house yet, but we've got the essentials, so we're good for now until we find time this weekend maybe to move the couch/tv/and other big items in the kitchen.

We. Are. LOVING. the house! And we lose each other in it because it feels SO big in comparison to our apartment. At first I felt a little uneasy about the location, not knowing very much at all about the area of town, but after living there for a few days now I feel so safe it's ridiculous.

I took loads of pictures of the apartment before packing up, and of the house, but the camera is currently M.I.A. so when I find it in this move I'll post some "before and after" living quarters for Jamison and Amy Pruitt.

Funny story: Sunday we went to "our" ward for the first time, and finally when we could introduce ourselves as "The Pruitts" instead of people knowing me by my maiden name, Jamison goes ahead and says, "Well, I'm Jamison Pruitt, and this is my wife - Amy Ferne....ugh...err...Pruitt." nice jamison....nice....

We're loving it so far! Good thing too, because I was really really nervous that the transition would be a hard one for me, but we love it. It's really nice to start fresh with my hubby.

By the way - made dinner last night on our stove - i'm in Heaven. And so is Jamison because he finally gets nice warm and yummy food. Nothing better than homemade goodies.

Pictures to come shortly. As for now - I've got TONS more moving to do. Later!

The key

Today was the day to get the keys to the house, and as excited as I was, I could NOT wait until after work to get them, so on my way to work I stopped by and got the key, showed my mom around in the house briefly, and went to work with the longing to stay at the house and get things moved already.

Jamison stopped by during his lunch break, unable to get in, but also just longed to get in already....and make the house our home.

I'm just SO excited! And I can't wait to decorate the house for Christmas and the fall, and light yummy scented candles, and really make the place feel warm and cozy...which is where the fireplace will come in handy.

It's just such a cute house with a lot of charm, and we're excited to get in tonight and start this next chapter in our lives. The apartment was a much needed blessing, and served its purpose, and we're so grateful to have had it. And we're ready to move on....to a new home and new ward/stake. Exciting!!! I promise that pictures will come up soon. Of the apartment and the house. :)

YAY! I'm a happy girl. We are SO blessed.

Thanksgiving

SO SOOO excited about Thanksgiving this year, being our first year together/married. we will be going up to St. George Wednesday night after work and spend through Thursday night with Jamison's parents/family. And we plan to spend the rest of the weekend with my family here in Vegas.

It might sound weird but I feel like a grown up going to the "in-laws" for a family gathering. And I'm so stoked about what to bring, it's between these options:

1. homemade pumpkin roll (2 or 3)

2. 4 layer pumpkin cake

3. drinks IN a pumpkin (such a cute idea I wanna try sometime, easy and cute)

4. or just forget the pumpkin all together and just bring a couple homemade lasagnas.

5. OR homemade YUMMY sugar cookies like those from this website.

Decisions decisions. Still deciding...
