It's been a while...

So it has been like a decade since I have updated my blog which is really bad... There hasn't been too much going on. To recap over the summer... At the end of May we drove to San Francisco for one of Chase's best friends graduation. He graduated from the police force academy? It was fun to get to see his friends and family, but the drive was a good 14 hours. Chase got into a car accident! Scariest thing ever, but he was safe and sound. It wasn't his fault a crazy lady spin uncontrollably in her car and clipped the truck and drove him into the median. Chase got a citation for avoiding an accident. He went to court and fought it and he won! We also went to Universal Studios just out of the blue for no good reason. Well Chase hasn't been there before and we had so much fun and I got the best farmers tan. Another great event that happened in June is that... we moved into our new house! We love it here and we really love our ward! Plus we got called to the Primary and we teach the CTR 5's and they are crazy kids, but they all are really cute and we look forward to seeing them every Sunday. We went to Chase's family reunion up in Salt Lake City in the end of July. It was fun to get away from Arizona and meet new family members. In August, Chase started online classes for an online school to get his Bachelors Degree in Corporate Management. His assignments are due every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday by midnight and we are up til midnight doing his homework! He works full-time and is in school full-time so I like to help him out and do the best I can. We had our 1 year anniversary! We went to the hotel we went to after our reception... the Royal Palms in Phoenix. We ate really expensive food and in the morning we got room service and laid out by the pool. Chase had his 23rd birthday! All he wanted was a puppy... yes he did get his birthday wish. We got a cute black lab from Indiana he is the cutest little thing, but he is getting pretty big. His name is Hunter, we were going to name him Moose, but that was his brothers name. We enjoy him a lot, he has a lot of little corks about him. Chase's parents came into town for a whole week and we had a lot of fun with them! We went to the lake on the Friday they were here and we took Hunter and Chase's childhood dog Brit to Salt River and they had fun playing in the water. I think we will go back again Hunter really likes it. Recently we bought a new car... A Jeep Wrangler... not my first choice, but Chase really wanted one and he said it is for Hunter so he can jump in the backseat after the river. Chase found his dream Jeep in St. George, Utah and he told the guy... he was actually a bishop up there and his name was Bishop Hooker... that he really wanted it and would fly up as soon as our Altima sold. Which it did Saturday afternoon, Chase got a free flight with his miles and flew to St. George bought the jeep and drove to Vegas to spend the night over at his dad's place and drove home Sunday. He really likes it and I am glad I don't have to drive it because its super loud and then its a manual. I am a little skeptical about that or even learning. I am just a little afraid to stall in the middle of the road. Anyway that is the world of Chase, Kendall, and Hunter right now. I am sure I missed tons of little details. Oh by the way, looking for a job right now. I hate job hunting it sucks because everyone else is looking for a job so its so tough to actually get the job. I have had some interviews, but none successful. Getting my hopes high! Here are some pictures below of our life (ps. we are not picture takers and all pictures are taken from our IPhones).

Another little post, I just got a call from my volleyball coach this afternoon and told me that the school was giving me an award. I never ever got any big awards for school so I was in shock! She said that I will be getting an academic award next Tuesday so I am really excited for that. I have had a 4.0 GPA these past two years they better pay off! Anyways school is almost over and I am so over it. I am down four classes only two more classes. I can't wait for summer, but I can't relax I will be working all summer. The only downer is that I don't have a job?!? So I have been applying to a ton of jobs so we will see how things turn out.

NEW HOUSE!


I am brand new to blogging but I have a lot to blog about! First of all Chase and I bought a house!!! We looked at it and loved it! We signed the papers and everything two weeks ago. We close on June 15th! It is in Queen Creek, in a community called Cortina, Power and Germann. The house is the last spec they had in the community. It is a brand new house so we don't have to fix anything up. All we have to do is put furniture! We have been furniture shopping the past weekend and we found a lot of things that we love, but of course they are super expensive, but we will see what we decide to get. We don't have much to move so we are happy about that because moving in June in Arizona would be miserable, but we since living in my parents guest house we haven't really bought anything of our own. We are really excited and I will have to post pictures of all of the house.

New Blogger!!

So I finally gave in and got a blog! I don't know if I will be very good at blogging but I will try! Chase and I got married in August of 2008, we were set up on a blind date by our friends in January 2008 and were together everyday since. The daily life of Chase and I isn't too out of the ordinary. I got to school full-time at Chandler-Gilbert Community College where I played volleyball for two seasons. Chase works at Student Resource USA in Tempe. He has other new part-time jobs which he is really excited about. He hasn't graduated yet so he is still planning on attended some more school and taking online classes. Me and Chase's calling in our ward is in the Nursery! We only have four kids...which isn't a lot compared to other wards. We absolutely love it! We are currently living in my parent's guest house, hopefully we will be able to buy a new house with this economy right now in Queen Creek/ Gilbert area. I posted some of my favorite pictures of our wedding!
