A really long post that some may not even care about....

Ok. So married life is pretty good if I do say so myself. Amy said she would help us make it so you could see who is posting what, but until then I'll clear this up. This is Jenny. Jenny Dill.

Anywho, married life is great, different than what I always imagined? Yes! but it's a good different. We try to stay pretty busy and that is just what we have been doing lately.  (*** WARNING*** This post contains a lot of photos, if you do not like photos, to bad!)

First off, for our wedding my little sister Heather was SO SO excited to give us "the perfect" gift she had found for us. She knew we were going to love it and I don't think anyone was as excited as her to give us their gift. (if you were, sorry I think Heather really was more excited) When we opened it we found....... *drum roll please* a blender! So we decided to put this little beauty to good use and made ourselves some strawberry milkshakes. Thanks to Heather for the awesome Wavemaker! 

 We went down to Salt Lake to visit the fam. Since we got married we no longer visit the great So Jo every weekend and have been feeling a little bit deprived of the greatness that lies therin. It was a wonderful weekend spent celebrating birthdays, running to craft stores, visiting with family, eating good food and all that good stuff. On Sunday we had to opportunity to go visit temple square and meet Elder Babbitt (Michael's old mission companion) and his family. They were simply lovely and I can't wait to spend more time with them in the future. Temple square was absolutely beautiful and all the flowers looked immaculate. My favorite = blooming tulips!
 
I really do love him :) Promise!



 Ok so Utah was lovely. Being back in Idaho is great too. We have our own little routine that we are still trying to figure out and we have had a lot of fun together figuring it all out. We recently got a few more additions to our home including a few cute pillows from IKEA and these two little beauties we found at The Trackside Mall in Idaho Falls. It's a cute little consignment shop where all sorts of people sale their whatevers and other people (like Michael and myself) go find them and think they are the coolest thing ever. A friend of Michael and I told us we would love it there, and we do! We found a few things and I'm sure someday we will find a few things more. When we told Katie (Michael's mom) we got a killer good deal on a real cute rocking chair we had to reassure here there are no babies on the way, but that we just love a good deal especially on cute rocking chairs with a old fashioned creak to it. The blue chair is a bar stool from the 1950's and it swivels back and forth. So so cute, and I ramble on and on...
  We also have been in the process of establishing a budget and such. We decided that one way we could save money is me cutting Michaels hair. I have yet to convince him that he should learn to cut my hair, he refuses, but I'm perfectly fine with the idea. Anywho, we set out to Wally World to get some clippers to turn the beast into a man. And that's just what we did. There were a few moments when I thought to myself, "Why I am cutting his hair?" But was reassured by his constant reassurances that it would really be just fine, and it was.

I told him to smile... what a smarty pants!
It was a lot of hair! Men are hairy, that is that.

 With spring in the air and flowers blooming all around I have had the biggest desire to plant some little flowers of my own in some sort of pot. Michael always puts up with my silly antics and let me pick out a few plastic pots and some flowers to put in 'em. So now my green thumb can go to work. ***NOTE TO READERS: If these flowers die, totally not my fault. It will be due to the fact that we got them at Walmart and Rexburg is windy and cold.***
I don't plan on them dying anytime soon, and I am simply thrilled to have them sit right outside our door for the summer. I hope they can bring a little bit of sunshine to others as well as me and Michael.
Potted plants... As close to a real garden as I'll get for a while.
 AND THE BIG NEWS!!!!!! We bought a kitchen aid. Yeah that's right we got a kitchen aid.
It. Is. Adorable! 
We are grateful for everyone who helped contribute to this lovely new addition, namely those who gave us cash at our wedding. We have what I like to call our wedding savings, that is the money which we got from our wedding that is helping us get a nice start. We thank all the kind people who gave us gifts. We really would have NOTHING without any of you and our so glad you would help us start from scratch. There have been countless blessings given to us that have helped us so much. I have been so overwhelmed from the amount of love, kindness, and friendship that so many people have shown us. We love you and grateful to each and every one of you who have touched our lives for the better.

And here she is ladies and gents...


First thing we made? Snickerdoodles of course!
