Sugar Cookies

The beginning The middle


and the End!

Ok I have officially been domesticated. I made sugar cookies from scratch this weekend. I know, I know...I hear the gasps of shock. I decided that I wanted to try this since my mom makes sugar cookies every Christmas, I thought that it would be fun. So I dug out my cookie cutters and got to work. It was so much fun and so easy. If I can do it, anyone can. I even made the icing from scratch. Not to sound braggy, but this is huge for me...just ask my husband.
Look out Martha Stewart, Erica Johnson is in town!

Moved In

So much stuff!! AHHH! We hadn't moved in our big furniture until the next day, so Cade is improvising.
Huge, ripped muscles for such an occasion!




(Huge Sigh of Relief!!!) It's official. We have moved into our permanent residence. FINALLY!!! WOOOHOOO!!!! It has been such a roller-coaster, but we have finally moved into a house where we won't live for just a year and then move out. It's so nice. It is such a lovely home and I am so blessed to be able to be here. Thanks to Bryce and Trish for helping us out! Really appreciate it. You guys are the best! Once the house is cleaned up and things are where they are supposed to be I will put more pics up, but these are some from moving in.

I've Been Tagged!

Easter 2007 My senior prom. (this is his "priesthood project" for those of you who know the story.)
Our wedding day. I love him soooo much!




I've been tagged!

1. Where did we meet? We met in Mesa, AZ. My gf sister was having a baby over Thanksgiving break of my senior year in high school. She didn't want to be by herself, so I tagged along and happened to meet a handsome RM.
2. How long did we date? We got married on the 1 year anniversary of our first date in AZ.

3. How long have you been married? 3 years on November 26

4. What does he do that surprises you? I love it when he does little things to help me around the house. He also sneaks kisses that are unexpected, like when I'm doing the dishes or something.

5. What is your favorite feature of his? His laugh. It's loud and hearty and completely genuine.

6. What is your favorite quality of his? My favorite quality is that he is such a hard worker. Whatever he is asked to do, he will give it 200%. He wants to do the best he can at everything that is given to him. He works hard at being a good husband and priesthood holder. He is also working at preparing to be a father someday.
7. Does he have a nickname for you? He usually calls me "babe". (And no I don't oink in return)
8. What is his favorite color? Red

9. What is his favorite food? I think anything Mexican, but whenever I cook some Cajun I think that takes 1st.

10. What is his favorite sport? His favorite sport is football. He's a huge A.S.U. Sundevils fan, even through the hard times (like this year).

11. When and where was your first kiss? Our first kiss was on our first date (scandalous I know). He had just dropped me off and I had to let my gf's aunt and uncle know I was home. I came back to tell him thanks for a great night and he laid one on me. (whatever he says I was the kiss-ee not the kisser, but it was well-received).

12. Favorite thing to do as a couple? I would say we don't just have one thing, but we like to hang out together (either by ourselves or with friends) and laughing is another fave.

13. Does he have a hidden talent? I'd say his hidden talent would have to be making me laugh when I want to be mad at him.

14. How old is he? 26, but he's turning 27 on November 27. (It's his golden birthday)

15. Who said "I love you" first. He did.

16. What is his favorite type of music? I would say that he is in a transition phase right now. We both used to really like hip-hop,but we have always liked rock and alternative (old and new). We also dig country.

17. What do you admire most about him? Everything. He tries so hard to make life so easy and comfortable for me. It's such a blessing. And he loves me so much and would do whatever he could to make me happy.

18. Do you think he will read this? No. The only things that he looks at on the Internet is e-mail and ESPN, which gives me free rein to gush over him as much as I please.

I tag Ruthanne P. Have fun!

Primary Program

We had our Primary Program today during sacrament. It was so adorable. It was obvious that the kids worked on their parts. They weren't nervous about going up to the microphone at all. It was such a wonderful experience, but I am definitely relieved that it is over. Thanks to all the parents and teachers who helped us out. We really appreciate it.
