New Beginnings...


WE closed on our house February 25th and we are all moved in! WE LOVE IT! Not quite sure what to do with all the space though! My parents came down the first weekend of March and helped us move our load.. Don't know what we would have done without them, Thank YOU! (Also thank you to the elder's quorom- we appreciated the extra muscles!) The move has made for longer commutes for both of us, but we love Chandler and love our house! There are actually some open fields around us... Jaron grew up on a dairy farm so the manuer smells like home and the Chandler Airport is right by us so I get to hear the airplanes fly over, its perfect! These are pics of the house before we moved in obviously!

HOME SWEET HOME!
The Living RoomUpstairs LoftThe Kitchen "Half of the Master"- There is another little room off the master that is Jaron's "MAN CAVE"
Carson, this is for you, your mom said you had been asking about Aunt Sharla's pool, hurry up and come swim!Back Porch- It's gonna be awesome one day once it has a grill and some killer outdoor furniture..
Now if you wanna come visit, we have an extra bedroom or two, don't have furniture in there yet and there is still lots to do, but we sure love putting hard work and love into this new adventure, it has been a long time coming!

L-O-V-E!

Happy Valentine's Day! I love the day of love! This year, we kept it pretty low key, Jaron had to work and I spent the day preparing a delicious dinner (slaving over a hot stove...) I did receive these which ALWAYS makes a girl's day, whether its Valentines or not!


Isn't He Cute? Love you Sweetheart!

I was bad and didn't take pictures because I apparently I have forgotten how to use a camera.. We had dinner in the living room on the table I had set up and it was fun! We just hung out and enjoyed our day with each other, lucky for us we get to spend every day together!

So in other exciting news, and probably why this blog has been neglected, that sign down there is in front of a house... that after February 25th... is OURS! WE are so excited! I will post pictures when we have some!

Christmas Time...



I figure I better post about Christmas some time! I totally forgot my camera, so I have no pictures to show, but we went to St. Johns this year for Christmas and had a great time!

We got up there on Christmas Eve and took some much needed pictures to update our family picture... I think the last one was before Em got married... After that the guys all left us women to go see True Grit. However, they got about thirty minutes into the movie before a guy in the theatre had a heart attack or something and the movie had to be stopped! They ended up having to go back Christmas day and watch it. I think that was the highlight of their trip! Us women stayed behind and planned our traditional Christmas Eve program and chatted and cooked. Christmas Day was great, it's fun to watch the kids so excited for their gifts! We made an awesome haul and had a good time.

New Years this year consisted of me working all weekend, which meant I was not staying up til midnight when I had to get up at four the next morning, so we drank some apple cider at 9 and called it good! Hope all of you had a great 2010, and here's to an amazing 2011!

Thanksgiving~ Vegas Style!

This year for Thanksgiving we met Jaron's family in Vegas! I actually had to work Thanksgiving day, so we headed out for Vegas on Friday! We had a blast! We went up and down the strip taking it all in... last time I was there was when I was ten so it was cool to get to go back. We met Jaron's family for dinner at the Rio to kick things off and the buffet was huge...too many things to pick from! After that we walked the strip until our feet couldn't handle it anymore! The second day we got up and had breakfast at Sam's Town and then they had an awesome courtyard all decorated for Christmas, so we got a few family pictures in,and then headed to the Vegas Temple for some more!
That night I got my Christmas present, Jaron got us tickets to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian... AMAZING! I absolutely loved it! He tricked me too and told me we were sitting in the nosebleed section, but when we got there, we were only a few rows back from the stage. It was awesome! What a lucky girl I am! We also stayed at the Golden Nugget that night, which was really nice, and it was also cool because its right on Fremont Street, its a cool street!

We had a great time and thank you Foy's for everything!

Beauty and the Beast


My amazing husband got us season tickets to Gammage for our anniversary, and we got to see the first show Beauty and the Beast this last week, it was so awesome! We ate some dinner at Chili's before the show since it was close and then headed over to hang out before the show started. It was my first broadway play and I loved it! The characters were so dead on and they added stuff from the Disney movie that made it incredible.

The next show we get to see is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, then Shrek, then Fiddler on the Roof, and to top it all off Les Miserables! I can't wait!

Time Out for Women

I know I say this alot but I think time is flying! I am pretty sure that September was two days long this year! Not a whole lot has been happening with us lately, we are just busy with work and Jaron in school (even though his last class for his Bachelor's is tomorrow! yay!)...

Jaron's brother got married at the end of September in Utah! They had a cute country John Deere wedding! Congrats Parker and Cali!

A couple of weeks ago my mom, sister Jen, Tyler, and Carson, Grandma, Carleen, and my dad all came down for the Time Out for Women weekend! IT was a blast! The speakers and music were absolutely amazing! While we were attending the conference, Jaron took my dad, Tyler, and Carson to the Hall of Flame which they said was pretty awesome. They were also able to get some errands done that my dad needed to do in the big city! All Carson could talk about was going to Chuck-E-Cheese's because that was where I took him one time when he was little and had come down to visit. Jen and I took him to Mantuku's Island which is this huge jungle playground, we figured it would be a lot more fun now that he's 'grown up'! He had a blast and I got worn out trying to maneuver through all the tight spaces to play in the big tree they had.... could make it a little more adult friendly! He had a good time even though he still said he liked Chuck-E-Cheese better! (I don't think he remembers it so well...) We had a great weekend and I am going to have to steal some pictures from someone because I didn't take any!

1 Year and Going Strong!


August 28th, 2009 changed my life forever! I married Jaron Edward Foy in the Mesa, AZ temple for time and all eternity, and its been a wonderful year! Jaron and I spent our anniversary in Payson, where we stayed after we got married, at the Majestic Mountain Inn. We also went and ate at Fargo's Steakhouse which is right next door. It was a fun little getaway! And here are the Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Jaron: 1. He has an incredible way of loving me that I never thought possible, I get a little teary-eyed even thinking about it, and he never hesitates to use those three little words!

2. Jaron has made me laugh literally every day since I have known him, and that is huge for me because I love to laugh!
3. He is my handsome stud! He has good taste and always looks nice. (even though I had to make him stop wearing a black belt with brown shoes :>)
4. He has an amazing love and knowledge for the Gospel and he keeps me learning every day.

5. His likes are my likes. We compliment each other in that way and have similar tastes... we can usually always agree on something!



6. He was raised on a farm... That means he knows how to work hard, but also how to play hard!

7. He keeps me #1 no matter what. He is very good at prioritizing whats most important. Me, of course! :>
8. Jaron knows how to set goals and achieve them... He is so dedicated to his school and work, I watch in awe of the things he accomplishes.
9. He is always willing to help and serve others, a guy he home teaches bore his testimony once of how amazing his home teachers were and that they had never missed a month. I was so proud to sit next to him that day!
10. He is just plain amazing! I am going to say that that is in part to his great family! They have made me feel like a part of their family from minute one and they raised a good man that I get to be with forever!

Happy Anniversary Jaron, I love you! Here's to an eternity more! "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be!"
