Champions of the World!

Ok, so maybe not the world but definitely Young Womens basketball CHAMPIONS of the Davis Region. For those of you who don't know I (Tara) am the Young Womens Sport Director (Coach) for my ward. My girls went undefeated ALL season and won the Championship game 30-27! WA HOO!!! And not to mention that there are only 6 girls that did all this! It's such a fun calling and I love the girls so much. They are so awesome I had to post and say how amazing these girls are!I do just have to say that for someone who has never coached a team and has never played basketball in my entire life, going undefeated and winning the championship isn't half bad if I do say so myself!

Sorry this isn't the best picture but I had to post it anyway! Way to go girls!!!

1 Year Anniversary

Today is our 1 year anniversary, and on the 16th will be five years together. I had to take a minute and get sappy about how much I love Preston, he is the most amazing, wonderful husband in the world. I am so blessed to be his compainion and spend my life and the eternities with him. I remember the first time I saw him and I knew right then that he was the man I was going to spend my life with before I even knew his name. He is my best friend and the love of my life. I am so excited to see what the years will bring us. I love you Preston, this has been the most amazing year and I know that they will only get better and our love will only become stronger and deeper.

Introducing Boston & Sox

These are our new kittens! Preston and I adopted them last week from the humane society, I have been lonely at home now that I am graduated from school and I have been wanting a pet to keep me company while Preston is working. So, as an early anniversary present we got these sweet kittens. If you can't guess we named them after the Boston Red Sox (Huge Fanatics!) Boston is the completely black one he is 10 months and Sox is the black and white one and she is 5 months old.

We went to the humane society because we wanted to save some lives, since the really small kittens go fast we wanted to give these two a chance. The shelter told us that Boston didn't really stand a chance because people don't want black cats (superstitions) he also wasn't the most affectionate cat there. So, Preston and I felt like he deserved to be loved and happy and as it turns out he is the sweetest, loving kitten. They were in the same kennel together and have been together for a month so they are good friends. They love eachother and you can always catch them snuggling or playing together. They seem really happy and we love them so much!!! We are so happy that we resuced them, they complete us.

Here are some pictures of our babies.

Merry Christmas!

Even though we have spent 5 Christmas's together this was our first "married" Christmas! We had a wonderful holiday season, we got to spend time with eachother and family. Luckily both sets of parents live close so we can share. We got to decorate the house and tree which I loved and it was very special to start our own traditions for our little family. We are excited to see what 2008 holds in store for us with Preston's business taking off and I am finally graduated, it should be good!

GRADUATION!!!

If anyone was wondering if I am happy being graduated just look at that face! Yeah I'm Happy!!!


I couldn't have made it through without my best friend Ashley who graduated with me.


Preston was my biggest support, I just love him!


This is a group of girls that I graduated with along with my favorite professor Dr. Chatelain


Mom and Dad were also my biggest supporters! I love them both!
