I have no photos because Sam feels bad as it is so I will not share anything (its not even that bad)
Last night Sam could not sleep for the life of him, as for me I was out like a log!! When I sleep I will rolled to where I am closer to him when it is really cold out, and last night was 20* so it was a cold night. Sam rolled over and I felt like someone punched me in the face! His elbow hit me across the mouth, nose and my right eye, all in one hit! So needless to say I woke from my lovely sleeping to being very confused and in pain! Poor Sam felt so bad, I kept asking why he punched me in a sleepy/confused voice I think that made him feel worst. But it was only his elbow and life goes on. My face hurt all day but it feels fine now. I was in bed with Sam for a little bit tonight til I was keeping him up, and I came down stairs. He was on the edge of the bed so he wouldn't roll on me again tonight :)
But this is the only downside from sleeping in the same bed we have found so far, so it will be ok. I am sure when I look at this blog books in a few years We will both laugh at this midnight beating!

Our Loving Bed!!
Ok so I know that a bed is a common thing to have in a house, in fact some households have more than one bed. Well it is a blessing to us in SOO many ways!
Sam and I spent the first few nights (our honeymoon) of being married in a resort bed and it was so nice, than a few nights on an air bed at his house in Mesa, New Years Eve at my Aunts and Uncles guest bed.
During the time that we have been in Oklahoma we have been on a queen Airbed.
Poor Sam is to long and would always hit his ankle on the wood armrest at the end of the bed. Now don’t get me wrong I love my futon in Mesa I slept on it for years, but when you have a someone else sleeping with you and that someone else is 6' 4" it is hard to sleep well. And we had it next to a wall, and I would sleep on the wall side so Sam could sleep better because he had to go to work. Yes I rolled my head into that evil wall so many times. Also our guest bedroom/office's window is facing the back of the Apartment, so we would hear people parking their cars, kids playing in their back yards, people smoking in their back yards, and the main road with cars going by all night.
But the worst part of all was "The Noise". When we got back from Mesa when Sam's dad had his heart attack, we started sleeping on the futon, and my body is so warm that we have to leave the window open or Sam will cook sleeping next to me. Well we went to bed Sunday night kind of late, and "The Noise" started, we called the cops because it sounded like a tennis ball being thrown against the wall all night, they couldn’t find anyone out that late, than we called our Apartment 24 hours number and they said there was nothing they could do till morning. And the morning came and the noise was gone, we fought with this for two and a half weeks until the noise was happening during the day, they went up on the roof and it was the trees hitting some lose roofing when the wind was blowing hard. All this was done the day before we got our new bed.

Resort bed AZ Grand

Airbed
It has not been great; we got a futon bed when my uncle, mom, and cousin came to stay on their way to Kansas, So we have spent some time on that bed, not great at all.
Our Futon
This is the window that opens to the back of the apartment, too much going on back there.

Our New Bed!!
I know it looks small but it is just the right size!!
So for Pres. Day weekend we went out and got ourselves a bed! But it took almost a week and a half to get here because the bed we had got first was broken or torn, so we had to sleep on the evil futon some more. But anyways that was our bed drama, and we slept in our new bed last night and it was so great.

Heartattacks for Valentine's Day
I know this post is way way late!
So Sam and I spent our first Valentine's Day as a married couple (and our first one where we are in the same state) packing, making planes, and flying to Mesa AZ.
Lets back up some. Sunday night Feb 13th Sam got a text sayint that his dad was going to the ER. Next text we got was Dad had a heart attack and is being Airvaced to Chandler Regional. Sam call his teacher and told him the news and asked it he could go home. His teacher said if he went home that he may have to start the class all over again in March with the new class. My poor husband had such a torn heart about this, after 2 months of class he would have to start this whole thing over again, but for once he was able to come home when his Dad was hurt. Than we were told that he was going into surgery, Sam called his teacher again and gave him an update. He told him he had leave time if he wanted to take it. Sam and I talked, called my Mom and Dad, and checked our banks. We prayed and we felt we needed to go home, my Mom was in Kansas and had passes on her, our taxes came in the day before, and Sam could take the leave, there were too many things in place for us not to go. By the end of the night Sam's two of three sisters in Utah where on their way driving, and Sam's Dad had a Temp pacemaker in, and my mom was booked to come in at 9 the next day.
Monday Sam went to work filled out his leave forms and everyone signed off on it right away, He met with the Officer in charge of the his squadron and he told him that everything would be here waiting for him when he got back, but he needed to go home and take care of his family and not worry about work. Sam stress went right out the window when he said that. We had a late flight because that was the only one we could get on, got in AZ at 10pm. Got our rental car, and went to see Pa Fuller. We were at CR just in time to see him and say a family prayer that had such a sweet loving spirit in the room. Sam and I left to head to my house, we stopped and got some Filie B's and went and ate on the bed in my old room.
Before we left Oklahoma, Sam got a small gift from me. We also had to get my birthcontrol filled before we left, so we took turns looking at cards while we waited for my Rx to get filled. Than we got home signed our cards in different rooms and handed them to each other. Nothing like we had planned in doing, but it was a sweet thing to fly together next to each other and enjoy the time together away from work and stress.
Pa Fuller was able to go home on Thursday, Feb 16th. We had a great time see everyone one on his side, and we saw about half of my family and a few friends. It was a good trip to see everyone, but Sunday we were very happy to come home and spend the day just us and having the whole day Monday together to unpack and rest. I loved our fun times together, and I think that our Holidays will get better.

Oh Hannah My Hannah!
This is a blog for Hannah Dear! I failed to name her in my last Post and that right there is a Big Sin!
I love Hannah, she has been a great great friend to me for years now. And Hannah and I have been through very good times and hard times where we both felt like life could not go on.
Hannah is a strong strong person and I am so proud of her and her choices she has made to go to BYU Idaho. And I am going to miss seeing her when I go back to Az in a few months, but its time for her to do her own thing. I love you Hannah!!

Hannah and Sean
Hannah has always been sweet to me and everyone around her. She has a great personality and has been a great role model to me. And if it wasn't for her Sam would have never given me that first kiss, she helped him out with working up the courage to kiss me. 
my hair for the wedding :)
Hannah has done my hair for the last 4 years now and it always look great, and she did my hair for the wedding, and it was breathe-taking. 
Hannah is a strong strong person and I am so proud of her and her choices she has made to go to BYU Idaho. And I am going to miss seeing her when I go back to Az in a few months, but its time for her to do her own thing. I love you Hannah!!
Things have changed
So I could not sleep last night, two hours outta bed so Sam could sleep and almost another two hours of me trying not to move to much in bed so he wouldn't wake up. Anyways I was think how much everything has changed in the last little bit. Here are a list of some of them
1. NO FAMILY, his or mine!: I love my family I know that but I never knew just how much I would miss my in-laws. I know I didn't go over a lot, but I miss seeing them on Sundays, and babysitting for them. And my family
2. Warm night: Now I hate hot sheets, I always have fans going in my bedroom, but it is too cold here at nights.
3. Not wearing my flip flops: I hate my boots, They make my feet way way to warm, Sam makes foot of me for taking them off when we go places, and they hurt my poor ankle.
4. Not a lot going on: the last year of my and Sam's life where filled with planning. Planning the next trip, planning on phone dates, planning a wedding, a move, a outline of how we would be living. Now all we are here, we can rest, and it makes me restless.
5. Missing friends: I miss everyone so so much!! I miss the Davis, the Laytons, Risa, Michele & Kayla, My kids at church :(, all my babysitting families, and my family.
Now here are so changes that I am so so happy about!!
1. We have a little Family!! Sam has been my everything for the last part of my life, and I am so happy to have him every day.
2. A Running Truck: Now Ordy may have some years on her, but she drives like a dream.
3. No more lonely nights!!: Oh I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to roll over and see Sam every night, and to wake up to him trying to put his arm under me to cuddle. I know gag it is lovey dovey but it true, it makes my day before I even wake up. And when I wake up with bad dreams, Sam is there.
4. I can cook whatever I want, and no one messes up by eating the food I had plans for!
5. Our own place!: Sam and have our own space! so nice to have a clean house and when it is dirty we made the mess no more picking up after others. (That was more of a plus for Sam, me not really, He hated having messy roommates)
6. We can pay all of our bills and have a time bit of fun still: Sam and I have more money now, when get our taxes back we are paying off our last of our bills, so we can start saving more.
All in all, I miss some things but I am so happy about being here. Oklahoma is a big change, but as much as I hate change, I am getting used to it. Sam is getting used to having someone to talk to all the time; he seems to liking homemade meals more than anything. We hope that by May we will be able to get another car, so I can get a job and do more. But I hope to start school by the end of the month, every office is backed up because of the weather, but we should be able to start. Until than We are just taking life one day at a time.

Super Bowl Party
Sam and I both come from Families where we have BIG superbowl parties. So, now that we are married and can be with everyone every weekend, We had a party of our own.
But the sad thing is, we really don't know a lot of people here, and the few that we do know where on a stand-by watch. So we only had two people over at our house. But Sam and I had great food and we got the house was in black, green and yellow all over. Ha ha Sam was going for the Steelers and me the winning time Packers! So we had both team colors up. It was fun, half time was so bad, and our two guys had to go study for their test tomorrow. But all and all it was a great day.
Next year I am sure we will have a bigger party, I hope we will have a house of our own, on or off base, We are not picking at this point. We did have that fat feeling later afterwards, but we had a great time. I love spending time with Sammy and this was a great day. I was sad that Church was only an hour because of the snow coming in. But it I am so blessed to have a husband who can make everyday so fun and great.

So home sick
Tonight was my grandpa's 70th birthday party, and the most I could do was be passed around the table as the cell phone. I know this blog is about both Sam and I but, I just really miss my family and needed to do something. All I can say is Sam is a much stronger person than I am, it took 11 months for him to see his family again, and I am crying after one month. And Sammy was by himself, no wife to be with him all the time and spend time with someone he loves. I just miss seeing everyone once a month at least, and my grandpa is 70 now, I am worried about him even being around when Sam and I come back to Mesa. Oh and while I was crying on Sam's shoulder after hanging up from my family, I saw the Families are Forever clock the Allred’s got us for a wedding gift, and I started crying all over again, this time much harder. I know my family drives me nuts, everyone’s family drives them nuts but when you hear everyone together and having fun without you, it’s really hard not to be with them playing games, talking, joking, spending time with one another. I am so happy I have Sam here with me tonight and he didn’t have to go to watch, because I think I would be walking to the airport trying to get on a flight back to Az otherwise. I love Sam to death but, I am so lonely here without any family or friends. I don't know about this now, all I wanted was Sam for the last while and now all I want is Sam with a larger side of my family. May come soon, I wanna see my love ones.

Oklahoma, its love hate right now.
So as many of you know I now live in Oklahoma with my Husband Sam, and we have NO idea where anything is!!
We have founded a few shopping areas and went to bricktown, and bricktown is fun, but we don't know what all we can do because it is always so crazy there!!
It's just too cold outside to go walking around the area and check things out. I know there are TONS of things to do but my toes get cold, maybe I should wear real shoes?
We also HATE the highways here!! They suck, right when you get on the on ramp, you have less than 200 ft to get over on the highway before your getting off on the next exit!!! Also almost every other car has some kinda of front or backend damage. I tell you what our little 89' truck is high rolling here!! Oh and Ordy (Our truck) is very picky on how she likes to speed up and slow down and if we do it wrong, she is not a happy truck. And the roads on the highways are so so bad, they are creaked and big bumps and I have no idea how we haven’t blown a tire yet. But the highways are the only way to go here, trust me we tried to take side roads and it was 45mins of our life wasted.
Oh and Walmart, oh my goodness, I will not go there without Sam, we went the first time and Sam went to the bathroom, and some creepy guy was following me around up and down the rows. Than poor Sam tried to be cute a grab me from behind and I almost puched him because I thought he was creepy guy.
But over all Oklahoma is great, Sam and I have our little home, and we can see eachother everyday. On base is great NO TAX!! and we save a ton of money on our stuff and for newlywedds who dont own a bed or anything like that its nice. We sleep on a airbed and its really fun to push on the bed and pop eachother up when we are messing around and being a dorks. But we have a nice couch and table so we are not sitting onthe floor and we can have people come over now.
So this is our downstairs of our home, Upstairs needs why more work before I share it with you guys!!
