Keeping up with the Youngs- If you can!

Hello my lovely readers.

Today we are going to explore a day in the life of the Youngs. SO EXCITING RIGHT?? ;) 

Quickly after getting married my lovely hubby and I packed up our lives and took them to good ol' Sanders, Arizona! Now if you are curious where Sanders is located then you should look it up! If you use Google earth you will probably have a hard time finding it. Not really, but if you get my sarcasm it is the smallest town ever. EVER. My husband served his mission in the Farmington,New Mexico mission which covers a lot of the Navajo reservation. We moved to AZ so he could work for a former Branch President from his mission!

Okay so now that I have told you some of the background lets get to the nitty Gritty of what keeps us entertained in this little town! 

NUMERO UNO: Movies! No internet, No cable, No netflix. Some days go by where I will probably "watch" 4 or 5 movies throughout the day while I am doing my daily wifey duties. Not to mention how many times we have watched the HP movies. 



Side Note: I found all of the Harry Potter movies in the $5 bin at Walmart and I have never been so excited in my life. Okay maybe not in my life, but it was really, really, exciting. 

If you have any Movie Recommendations PLEASE feel free to share! :) 



#2: Scrabble. I love scrabble and for the record, I beat my husband last night for the first time. It may have only been by 3 points, but hey, a win is a win!! And yes QI is a word.



And lucky number THREE: I have the best job in the world so I get to go to work (out on the ranch) with my husband whenever I want!! Which means that I get to ride horses. A lot! I have developed such a love for horses. Maybe as much as I love my husband, just kidding, Skyler is my only love. ;) 


And just to add to my list of amazing things I have tried since living down here!
  •  I've eaten horse meat. YES I KNOW. 
  •  I've watched my husband murder a goat and butcher it. 
  •  I have helped move a dead rotting calf that smelled worse than ANYTHING. Oh and it weighed a million pounds.
  • I have caught craw dads. 

Most importantly out of anything, being out here I have learned that I can love more than I have ever imagined. I have learned to communicate better and to rely on my sweet husband and my Heavenly Father. Not to mention I was a lot better of a cook than I thought I was. Big thanks to my wonderful mother.

Life with the Youngs is better than I would have ever imagined.

Once Upon a Young

              Once Upon A Young, Skyler Young

Skyler and I met, on July 22, 2010. My sisters and I showed up to our first day of Pioneer Trek and got sorted into our new families for the week!! As I walked toward my new family there was a boy who was asking everyone how old they are. I was going to be a sophomore that next school year and he was going to be a senior... Yes he thought he was really cool, you know, being a senior and all. ;)


 Lets just keep in mind this is what I looked like when we met. (Sorry for the super bad picture quality!) After lots of walking, little food, scripture study around the fire, pushing and pulling handcarts, we were the best of friends. We dated briefly in High School but remained friends most of the time, running track and cross country together!


After losing touch for quite awhile, dating other people, going to college,
going on a mission, we reconnected. Skyler reached out to me while on his mission and we were finally reconnected. He returned on February 25, 2015, we were inseparable once again, hanging out almost every single day! Skyler moved to Arizona to work on his former branch presidents ranch, and was gone three weeks when we both realized that we didn't want to be apart any longer! On April 27, 2015 Skyler asked me to be his wife!

Skyler and I have now been married for THREE months and we are truly YOUNG AND IN LOVE!! We moved back to Sanders, Arizona when we got back from our honeymoon and have been here since!! Our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of and more! I am so lucky to have him as a husband! He is so extremely sweet and he makes me so happy! Life is entirely so sweet! <3

                Enjoy some photos of our wedding day! I can never get enough of them!
