I can't believe that an other month is almost gone. Nothing to exciting has been going on here. we've just been busy getting our taxes done, and about the most exciting thing is we are re-financing our home. We went from 6.25% to 4.875% interest rate. We will save about $150.00 month on a house payment and even pulled money out so we could re-do the kitchen! So hopefully that will be ou big project over the summer.
Soccer starts in about 1 1/2 weeks, so I'm sure I will have some stories to tell about that. I just hope that the weather will warm up in time. Who am I kidding, we ALWAYS play soccer when its freezing!

25....And Half Way Over The Hill
Well, I'm 25 now, and man, I have to tell you that I'm so OLD! This is the first Birthday that I have actually been freaking out about. I don't know why, age is just a number, but I'm just having a hard time with it. Maybe because when my mom was 25 she had 4 kids, and had been married for 7 years. I just feel like that I haven't done anything with my life yet. Shawn says that I'm crazy, that I have a whole life a head of me. Maybe hes right, I decided that after he finishes school (if he ever decides he can only learn so much j/k), its my turn. I haven't decided what I want to go into yet, but I still have a year and a half to make up my mind. Maybe I am crazy, age is just a number and you are only as old as you feel!!! thats good for me cause I still feel like I'm 18!! :)

Some Home Projects!
I know, I know, I have been slow on the posting! I can't believe how fast these months fly by! This post is going to be mostly pictures of what we have been up to since the first of the year....I can't wait until it starts to warm up so we can work on the outside of the house! I will try my best to explain the pictures as they go....I hope that you all enjoy!!! :)
We decided that we didn't want to put up the iron railing that was there when we moved in, so Shawn built a half wall.
Here is the wall all sheetrocked and ready to be textured
And the texturing begans......Shawn did it ALL by hand, as I sat back and watched with amazement to whole time!
And here is the new paint color, I'm still alittle iffy about it, but I think that it will all turn out when we get the trim and new carpet in.
And than, we wanted to replace a couple of light fixtures in our bedroom. The one's that were there only worked half the time, so my brother Mark was nice enough and made the new ones for us! I love them!
Thats whats new so far, I'll keep you all updated if anything exciting happens here in the Hunter Household :)

February 1st
February 1st is a very special day for me, and will be for the rest of my life. It was on this day, 6 years ago (2003) that I became a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. That day has forever changed my life. I feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life. And one day make it through the Temple. My only regret is not having the support from my family when I was going through the whole process, from the time of taking the discussions to the baptism they were always making fun, and never taking it serious. One of the hardest things was getting batized without any of them knowing. But I'm a strong enought person to know what I did was right, and will be very blessed for it.

January Blogging
Wow! I can't believe that January is pretty much over with! I have no idea where time goes. But thats okay, I'm not a big fan of January and the cold weather. We have been very busy this month, Shawn started school on the 12th, and so far he loves it. We finished the half wall that we built in the entry way/living room. Than sanded all the exsisting walls in the living room, textured, primed, and painted. I promise that I will get back to the swing of blogging and post pics soon!
I hope that this new year is treating everyone great so far!

2008 A Year In Review
I can't believe that 2008 is already done and over with. It went by so fast! Here is alittle bit of what we were up to in 2008:
January: We really didn't do anything to exciting. We finished the guest bathroom, and it turned out better than I hoped for.
February: I turned a year older, and nothing to exciting to report.
March: I ventured out on my own, and played Soccer without Shawn with all his friends (I guess that they are my friends too now that we are married). Let me tell you, soccer is more enjoyable when Shawn isn't there stressing me out.
April: We planned out what we were going to do to our backyard. We decided to build a re-taining wall, and lay sod. After hours & hours of moving dirt we finally had everything the way we wanted it.
May: We built the wall and laid the sod, if we could do it over again, we'd pay someone else to do it. I'd be happy if I NEVER have to pick up a Landscaping brick again!
June: Softball was in full swing, and I was going strong. I love summertime! I had such a blast playing ball and look forward to it every year! Shawn also finished school, and was very excited to have a great summer break.
July: Blew by with a blink of an eye. we were both very busy with work, and everything that was going on in our life. Not really much happened that I can remember.
August: The end of Softball, and the start of the fall soccer league. Shawn didn't get to play cause it didn't work out with his work shedule, so I was on my own again! Labour Day weekend (the end of august) is always a good time with the Blackfoot State Fair. Shawn was hit by a dunk driver while he was on his motorcycle on the way to work. he was so lucky he walked away with a few bumps and bruises. That day has FOREVER changed our lives.
September: After a hectic summer we decided that we needed a vacation. So we went to Portland/Seattle. It was just what we needed! Portland is an awesome city, I wouldn't mind living there. While in Seattle we were able to go to an Seattle Mariners game. We had such blast, I was just excited because it was Shawn's first MLB game, and I got to share that with him.
October: Soccer finally ended for the year, and let me tell you, that is the BEST workout ever! Other than that nothing really speaical happened that I can remember.
November: Nothing too much to report. After months & months of waiting, we finally found out that Shawn was accepted to Indiana State Unversity's Graduate program. We are both very excited to see what the new school year brings!
December: Shawn turned 28 this month! I keep telling him that he is turning into an old man. It's been so cold outside that we have decided to work on the inside of our house. We built a half wall in the living room, sanded, texured, and primed all the walls. so that is what we are working on now. I will post pics when we are done.
I hope that everyone's year treated them as good as it treated us! Have a happy and safe new year!!

Christmas Time In Temple Square
Over The weekend we took our annual trip to Salt Lake for Shawn's Birthday. While we were down there, we made a trip to Temple Square. I had never been, and let me tell you, it was BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't believe all the lights. It was a good way to put me in the Christmas spirit. I love going to Temple Square, its so peaceful. I was even telling Shawn that we if got married around Christmas time I would have taken my bridals with the lights! Here are some pictures, I hope that you enjoy!
