First things first

How many people believe the saying that when you put the first things first everything important will  fall into place and everything unimportant will fall out of place, but what if you want to keep the unimportant things around. Well Im testing it out this week, and I will let you know how it goes.

Friday Night

I guess this is good practice for the next for years of my life, but i am sitting here waiting for my sweet husband to finish his Bio Chem test. don't worry yes is is almost 9:00pm! what can i say we are party animals! its a good thing we have a killer saturday lined up! sleeping in ( for the first time all semester- im being serious!) running, visiting teaching, finally getting to H&M for some SHOPPING! then off to the Courage to Hope banquet and last but not least we'll top it all with box seats with the president for the BYU game ( president of BYU just so you know not, obama). I love spending time with the family at football games, I feel sad already to think that this will be our last BYU football game we'll go to for a few years.. it was such a good streak. We feel really luck, that we got another chance to sit in the box - we missed our shot last year with service council and Casey gave us another chance, i'm excited for some good time with friends and LaLa who i never see anymore!

Oh i almost forgot, i know i am crazy but it is getting close to decision time, Marshall has to let all the schools know and we have to put money down by Dec. 1 so naturally i have been checking out places to live, i think it is important that where we live in med school is a good relaxing place for Marsh, and also somewhere i will like enough to want to stay home and cook and clean and raise babies in. This is a big deal. here is what i found so far.. this one is in Kirksville, which i will just say, is where we are leaning towards the most right now... shhh
I think it has character.. its 2 bedrooms for $475 ( kirskville is so inexpensive!) but is $900 square feet too small? marshall was just excited it has a dishwasher :)

 I think it has character! wouldn't a porch swing be so fun! don't  mind the Giant branch and for sale sign! i love it!

There is is, the potential future Hill residence!

Birthday Wishes

I started this post quite a while ago and figured I should probably post it! Better late than never!
It was Husbands birthday in October. Everyday i realize how very lucky i am! it is so nice waking up 14 months after your wedding and still feeling like you scored the greatest person that has ever lived!
This year, for my perfect husband i tried to throw him, the perfect party.
marshall has a lot of amazing friends. and he loves to golf, so what did we do?
Have all his friends over for a golfing extravaganza!

He started off the morning going out golfing with his brothers, a golf trip he has been longing to have for such a long time!
Then he came home to a party- well actually he took an hour nap upstairs while i finished setting up :)
We started out at the Hill Country club golf course AkA the back yard pasture! there were 6 holes and we divided up into teams. Thanks Julie and Fern for helping me set up all the holes!
we had a dinner with all golf themed food like Chip shots, Peanut Putter sandwhiches "Par" faits, and more!
Prizes- the gold cup was awarded and then we just hung out! it was a fantastic night!
I love having a husband to celebrate.

Highlights/lowlights of the night
* i lit Ms candles on the cake that in turn lit his paper golf hole flag on fire and got a little charcoal all over the cake.
* Chel and Zack where playing around with a Champaign glass and shattered it all over the table
* best out fit was for sure Jenessa and Brodys baby Alydia came dressed as a bag of golf clubs! you can sort of see it in the picture it is the cutest baby costume i have ever seen! Props to Jenessa for making the whole thing!
* just being with all our favorite people and celebrating the sweetest boy on his birthday!

well that is Marshalls birthday party-  thanks to everyone who made it possible! the next day we had all the nieces and nephews over and did it all again! i wish i had more pictures! 

After his birthday we ended up with a crazy week of school, but halfway through the week we got a fun little suprise,

My teacher canceled my test that had been keeping me from going to marshalls last med school interview with him! so what did Mr. Marshall do? hopped right on the internet and bought me a very price inflated plane ticket to go with him the next morning!

It was the greatest adventure of a weekend in..... get this........Kirksville Missouri! Never heard of it? neither had we! 

Ill tell you the whole story very soon.
