The month of March

March was a good month! Played my first April Fools Joke on our friends parents! I made them brown E's! They loved them!

I wanted a cute little decoration for all the cities we have lived in!
I made these cute Easter Chicks with my girlfriend after we came back from Holy Cow boutique in American Fork! We got our famous J-Dawgs for our hubbys and came home and crafted the night away!
These were also made!
I made this one for spring time!
I miss having a garden in my front yard so I made a mini version of a garden, I will plant some flowers when it warms up!
I'm running a 5k at the end of the summer and so Rob bought me my first pair of Nike's! And I love them!
So far it's been a great year and can't wait for our 4th anniversary in May!

Superbowl 2012!!

What a fun game/night! Giants vs. The Patriots! Giants win! We had a great time with friends, food and fun!!

I made chocolate covered strawberries to make them look like little football's. I made a little banner full of cardstock football's that i cut out with my sihlouette! I have been obsessed with Keep Calm sayings and so I printed one for Superbowl and now for whenever we have a football party! I found some really cute decor at Walmart and the dollar store!

Such a fun nighy with friends, not very good commercials though!

Go Giants!

2011 was NUTS!

I have been a little but of a slacker when it comes to blogging! So alot of you probably don't know whats going on with The Windells!

May: We celebrated our 3rd anniversary, I unfortunately got laid off!

June: rob finished school and had an interview with Kennecott Copper Mine

July: Kelly, my bestest friend came to visit us in Provo for a week. We had a great time together! We got our pictures taken, which what we always do when she comes to visit or we go home! We were able to get tickets to Stadium of fire for the 2nd! That was a blast! I had been once with my cousins, but Rob and Kelly had never gone! It’s such a fun experience! Brad Paisley and David Archuletta sang which was cool, but my favorite is the Air Force fly over and the Fireworks! On the 3rd Rob was leaving for Switzerland with BYU. So at 5am the vans pulled up and rob left for 2 weeks. It was a really hard day I cried myself to sleep for a good, 7 days and then I started the countdown. Rob got back on the 17th around 11pm and I was sooo excited! He went right back to work at BYU and was happy to show off pictures and tell EVERYONE about his trip!

August: August came and went by really fast! We knew we would hopefully be moving up north so we casually started to look at apartments. The week of the 8-12th finally came! Mom Windell drove into town for Rob’s graduation, but Dad Windell was left behind for his dang job! Joe and Nikki the in-laws I had yet to meet came down from NORTHERN Idaho to see Rob graduate and meet me finally. Rob hadn’t seen them since Christmas of 2007. So we were able to visit and have lots of fun with them! My dad was able to come into town on the 11th around 11pm and had to leave the 13th around 9am! It was a quick visit but it was sooo nice to have here and support us, mom had to stay back and hold the fort down. So on the morning of graduation we sent Rob, Nikki and Joe up to campus to save seats and get Rob in line. The whole thing was VERY quick! This was the first college graduation I had ever been to! Once he walked across that stage it was the BEST feeling EVER! I am sooo proud of HIM! He did such a good job! After he walked we decided to take a walk around campus and show my dad and his mom all around. We came home and started to get the food ready for the dinner/party that night! Around 1pm about 45mins after we got home we were all outside except for mom (THANK GOODNESS!) My dad wanted to see how our water bottle rocket worked that we had made for our cub scouts! While we were outside mom was changing and getting something to eat when she walked out and brought Rob his phone. He had missed a call from a Utah number, they left a message and it was Kennecott. He called them back and they offered him a job that started the 6th of September! We were sooooo thrilled that Rob was given the opportunity! It’s not often you get a job sooo quickly in your degree that you JUST graduated from not one hour before! That night we had a great time with all of our family and just hung out. We moved into our new apartment on the 29th of August and Rob started work the 6th.

September:
We celebrated my 24th birthday; we unpacked all of our boxes and have been getting used to our branch and meeting new people!

October: We had 0 trick or treaters and bought A LOT of candy thinking we may have a few!

November: We had Thanksgiving with Gris and Kevin’s family at the Little America in Salt Lake. LONG WAIT, but worth it to be with our friends and good food!

December: We had a FUN December! On the 5th I applied for a job that one of our good friends let me know about, I had the interview on the 6th, offered the job that night at 4:30, 30 minutes after I got out of the interview and started on the 7th! I work as the receptionist at Rescue Alert, and I LOVE it! We were able to go home to California for a few days, it was too short but at least we were able to go! On New Year’s Eve we spent it with Gris and Kev again and had a great time!!

January: This was a fun month! Rob turned 28! We went to Texas Road house with Gris, Kev, Jameson and Kelsey! All four of them surprised Rob so we had a great time! We went to St. George on a whim with Kelsey and Jameson a few weekends ago. They told us on Thursday night and we left on Friday around 7! We went down to support Kelsey run a 5k! We had a great time and ended up in Las Vegas!

February: It’s just started but I know it’s going to be good! We will be celebrating Valentines Day and our Anniversary of us getting engaged!

We love our new apartment! It’s been fun having adventures together and with our friends! Can’t wait to see what 2012 will bring us! Hopefully a baby! Cross your fingers!

Love, Rob and Beckie!

Lederhosen Anyone?
































I have been able to talk to Rob for the past three days in a row! It has been so nice! I get to wake up to his voice which is even better! i talked to him this morning and it was such a casual conversation! We talked about pictures we just recently took and a Jicama I bought and that he liked jicama! I never knew that! He's doing really well, he said the other night he got really warm so he took off his jacket and slept in just a shirt! But when I was on the phone with him today he said it got pretty cold and so he needed to get into his tent. He has sent me a few pictures which are beautiful! he sent a few this past week but 3 of them were 3-D so only I could see them on my phone, Im pretty sure I can figure it out to put them in 2-D.



I miss him like CRAZY! But i know he will be here soon! Thankfully I have such amazing friends that have helped me through this little trip! Courtney my old neighbor has come over a few times to stay the night and have an AWESOME girls night! Gris and Kevin they invited me over to stay the night and I had car trouble and Thankfully Jerry Gris's amazing Father in law came to my rescue! Kristin and Mike for offering thier home and fun family!! And my wonderful in-laws that call and check up on me daily and sister in laws! Only 7 more days!!!


Until I get more pictures! Auf Weiderluege!
