Breaking News!!

**Please Stay Tuned for an Important Announcement**

We're moving.

Yep. It's the truth.

Tom has officially been accepted to BUY-I for the Fall/Winter track. Since his dad is now teaching there, Tom gets something like 72 FREE credits. That equals out to just over 2 years worth I believe. How neat is that? And it is because of that, we have decided to move ourselves up to Rexburg to take advantage of this opportunity.

Tom already has a job lined up with the Salt Lake Express. In fact, he's been hired and has already done a few jobs. He is also excited to start a little lawn mowing business when he gets there. Chambers Lawn Care, where you'll get "mow" for your money!

We have an apartment set up as well. It will be a basement apartment that has, how you say "lots of charm," and we're going to love it. We'll be the managers for another apartment (the upstairs) that houses 6 girls. The couple that is there right now will be moving out on April 6th. The landlord wants to take a weekend to spruce things up a bit, and we'll be moving in on the 10th.

I have never moved anywhere besides from my parents house to the apartment that I have lived in for just over a year. Moving quite frankly freaks me out. But I'm excited! It will be a new adventure for Tom and I, and will give us a great opportunity to grow closer as we face new challenges.

So stay tuned as we get ready for this new chapter in our Book of Life: The Chambers Family.

With Love...

February is the month of love, especially at the Chambers home. Well, every month is for newly weds, right? But February is special.

The obvious reason #1 is Valentine's Day. Tom is my one and only Valentine. Ever. Precious, huh? I think so. He's the best Valentine.

I wanted to do lots of nifty crafties to decorate, but I only got to a few. I found a great template online for paper flowers and made a few of those. I never got around to making exactly what I had envisioned for them, but these are my practice ones.



Next year I want to do more of the newspaper and maybe stain them a reddish color. Wouldn't that be pretty? We'll see what happens.

My next projects were my Love and Kisses blocks. My mom and I went and roamed the craft store until we found them. She only attempted the love one though. This picture is before they are completely finished. And, I'll admit, I still don't have them completely finished. It's a work in progress.





The #2 reason for the special month of love is (and it is not number 2 in importance, just on this particular list) OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY! I can hardly believe that Tom and I have been married for over a year now. It's amazing.

And Tom sure did spoil me...



He gave me a Kindle Fire and along with it, he wrote a little diddy about how he wants to forever Kindle the Fire of our love. Mushy stuff. But I love it!
