Bryan & Brittney Austin

Blogging is something a little new to this brand new family so be patient as we learn. The latest is that it is Christmas in 2 days! My birthday as well (this is obviously Brittney if you have not guessed by now). I never actually thought I would make it to see the end of this year. It has been bumpy with a number of things whether it was finances, doggies, or my cat getting ran over by an SUV and actually living through the experience unharmed. I have had my share of scares, loves, and laughs throughout the year. Fond memories of this year will forever fill our minds being our first year of marriage. Getting sealed in the Salt Lake Temple one year after our wedding and buying our first truck together. The many fights that filled the north Salt Lake mornings as papers are thrown throughout the air but the many laughs we enjoyed in being silly in our endeavors. The many wonderful conversations that we have had in expressing our opinions to one another and cheesy moments that continue to fill our relationship and keep our hearts young. We are both now one year wiser for the better and both have learned alot this year. I have learned not to try and wake up Bryan in the morning nicely but you have to shake him for a while to see any real signs of life but be careful in the shaking for the evil creature that dwells within will find itself upon the surface as a result. Bryan has learned not to leave his boxers in the sink and even a dandielion from the weed infested lawn will thrill his wife even more and just to see him. We have realized that we both greatly depend on one another and I can't wait to have another year of marriage and find myself learning all the little korks of that which we call our marriage and family.

I have to say that if it were not for these two women sitting with me, you probably would see me on America's Most Wanted. My sister, Darcy on the left has helped me with alot of things this year and my mother, Cindy on the left has been my guard dog and has protected me in so many ways and has saved me from myself even. She is the most wonderful woman and I can only pray that I will be half the woman she is. I love her so much and with all my heart!

And here are some pictures of the love birds

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!**!!

I am new to the blogging or any of this so be kind to my writings until I am more used to this. This is something new. I also have a new job. My life is about to turn another page in its novel and I will soon find myself with a new place to call my workspace. I have recently accepted a position with RXAmerica leaving my current job of IHC Intermountain Homecare. It is about time though. I have been miserable there for too long. I think it is rather amusing to watch how favorites, politics, and dramatic situations can turn a person who adores their job to turn and want out more than anything. I am extremely excited though. I love the fact that I will be closer to home, getting off work sooner, getting paid better, and better benefits. I am a little sad to leave my pharmacists, Dave and John, but I am more excited to start something new with a new slate. I watched my parents house this last week and their four little dogs as well. I love them all but I have to admit I totally love and have missed my snuggle dog, Max aka Maximum Sweetheart. He loves to snuggle and I am a total snuggle person. Also Boston, the terror dog, he has a sweet side and can easily be a snuggle dog. I am missing both of them already. But I guess I have my own snuggle bug known as my husband. He loves to snuggle at night. I love sleeping next to him. He is so sweet because when he wakes up he will gently kiss my shoulder and the side of my neck slightly his way of saying love you, I have to get up now. I love being married and all the perks and non-perks that come with. Yes, I know I even love the non-perks. My husband, he is one of those ones. The ones that when you first meet them you think that you are out of their leagues and that you just blow off the fact that you are attracted to them because you never think anything would happen. When i first met my husband I could not believe that he spoke with me as much as he did. Of course there were alternative motives for him at first and I was in a relationship with someone else but some how the one place neither one of us was looking, we both found a new love. I love the whole thing and how we came to be together. I always think of how things may have been different whether it was that I ended up with someone else or if something would have been different in his past as well. The song the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts says it all. "God bless the broken road that led me straight to you."It took a broken heart on both of us to find a new love with a whole heart again.
