Anniversary Trip and Other Events

For our anniversary this year we decided to head to Vegas-I've never really wanted to go, but my uncle was having his wedding there the week of our anniversary, so it worked out perfectly and the Fullmers headed out on their first real road trip together.

Tanner won his dollar back that he put in and an extra quarter on top of that. I made him quit while he was ahead. He was pretty proud he "beat Vegas" as he put it. And he was excited to be able to say he's gambled. (shaking my head in shame)

Tanner couldn't hold it and we were a ways away from a bathroom. I know most people think this is gross, but I mostly thought it was hilarious.

Uncles: Jeff, Brent, Matt, Mike, and Brad
I love you Tanner!
Sadly, I didn't realize my recommend had expired 6 days before the wedding, so I had to wait outside, and after a short cry and pity party, I took some pictures around the beautiful Vegas temple.

The Barrow Family
Mike and Liz coming out of the temple. She looked absolutely gorgeous and they looked so happy, I love weddings! We were so glad we went, it was so fun to see family and get to meet Liz, she's awesome! it's funny that she's my aunt and we're the same age!

Tanner looking incredibly attractive and mildly frightening simultaneously

The girls: Carolyn, Me, and Brenda

Me and my awesome cousin Carolyn
On our way home, right outside St. George we heard a loud noise and then our car swerved, our new tire we bought 2 months ago blew! I guess we ran over something, but as you can see from the fact that it's shredded all the way around, we were just grateful everyone was ok.
Since it was Sunday, we were stranded an extra night and stayed in St. George. Our bathroom had a tanning light in there too! Tanner turned it on everytime he went to the bathroom, it was so funny. That's the timer on the right.

The beautiful St. George temple





Tanner would kill me if he saw this, but I'm counting on the fact that he doesn't look at this very often. This was the night we went and saw Wolverine. I think it's a tribute to his awesomeness and the fact that I married the funnest guy ever.

Road trip and Anniversary fun



Tomorrow morning we're heading out for our first real road trip as Mr. and Mrs. Fullmer, we are oh so excited! My uncle Mike is getting married this Saturday in the Vegas temple, so we are going! I'm so excited to see all my extended family I haven't seen in a while and meet his wife-to-be Liz, I've only met her through email, but I can already tell she is awesome. We will be staying here, at the Stratosphere. I've never had a big desire to go to Vegas cause of all the dirtiness, but we'll try to avoid as much of it as we can and just have fun together and with the fam!



This past Monday we celebrated our two year anniversary!! It has been so wonderful, but I really can't believe how fast it has flown by. I should have posted that day, but life has been busy. I'll never forget when Tanner and I had our first kiss and he told me he thought I should start praying to see if I was supposed to marry him...I thought he was nuts...but I'm so glad we're together, this has been the best two years of my life. I write silly things about him all the time but he really is so good to me, I couldn't ask for a better husband. I love him more than anything. Part of the reason I love going to weddings is that it reminds me of my own and the feelings I had that day, being sealed and married to Tanner, I just remember being ridiculously happy the whole day, that was just so much fun. It was funny and sad, the day of our anniversary, I didn't remember our anniversary till I was to school that morning, so I called to tell Tanner I was sorry I had forgotten, but luckily he had too! We're going to Vegas, so that will be our fun thing to do for our anniversary. I still can't believe it has been that long, but it has been so much fun, and we've had lots of laughs along the way. I love you Tanner!
*Tanner's taking organic chemistry this summer and his sleep talking has been about chemistry as of late; this morning I was told, "couldn't you just turn the solution up a couple of degrees??" and the other morning he told me "it has physical properties as well." I'm not sure what 'it' is, but I'm happy for it.

Oh So Exciting

So, thanks to the Wonderful Warner Family (really, THANKS!), we now have carpet!! Woo Hoo! Most people say in disbelief, "you guys don't have carpet?!" And before Friday we would have had to answer with a lame "nope." But hey hey hey, now we can say, "psych! of course we have carpet, we were just pullin' your chain-like rope." I'm so excited to not have dirty feet anymore just from walking around my own apartment! *Sigh.*

ER Clinical

I had my first ER clinical yesterday. It was awesome!! I got to start some IVs, draw some blood, see lots of other things, and scariest of all: I had to do CPR. Wow, I never realized how freakin' hard it is to do it. I only did it for about 3 minutes, but when you're pumping on someone's chest hard enough that to get a heart beating-think about how deep your heart is in your chest, you literally break a few ribs to get deep enough- you get worn out fast. And you have to do it 100 times per minutes. I'm not trying to sound like I'm the shiz or anything like that, it was just a really cool experience. Maybe I want to be an ER nurse, we'll see!

Close Call

I've told this story to a couple people, but I just thought it was too funny not to share. It does involve urine, viewer discretion is advised. Sorry if it's bad, nursing makes you think pee is just funny.



So I switched birth control last month, and Tanner was absolutely convinced it was a mistake and in 9 months he'd be saying I told you so. So, we both work at LDS hospital every other weekend. Two weeks ago, we were waiting for my monthly visitor to make her debut and see if the birth control worked. Tanner was so anxious about it, I was at work and got a call from him downstairs that he took a break and bought a pregnancy test. "Oh, ok, I'll take it when I get home." "No. I need to know. Now." "Now??" "Yes, come downstairs, I'm waiting." So I get someone to cover me and make my way downstairs. I get there and he's waiting outside the bathroom, box in hand. It's one of those one-person ones, so I take the box and head in. I turn around and there's Tanner, following me in.."I can't wait, you know me, I just need to know right away." So, feeling slightly awkward, I take the stick of wonder and head to the toilet. As I'm starting to pee, Tanner anxiously adds "make sure you keep it in your stream for 10 seconds!" I don't know why, but I found this hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. I don't normally laugh like that while urinating. For those of you who didn't know, laughing while you pee has side effects. I had NO CONTROL of my "stream." It was all over the place. Then Tanner proceeds to stress out, "oh crap, now it's not going to work, keep it in the stream!" This makes me laugh even harder. So I'm trying to follow it, and end up peeing all over my hand, as well as the whole stick. By this point, I'm dying I'm laughing so hard. But, the test still worked, I washed my hands really well, and proved Tanner wrong about my birth control. Next time, I told him, I doing this by myself, and I'm using a cup.

Blogging Failure

So, I suck at blogging lately, once you stop, it's hard to get going again. Fullmer life is grand, Tanner just finished his finals last week, and I went back to school for summer semester. We are so excited for the summer even though it will still be busy, we are planning some fun things: Vegas for my uncle's wedding next month (Vegas temple), camping with friends in July and hopefully with family too, lots of fishing, playing tennis, and having fun. That's the E! True Hollywood Story. Exciting, eh? These are some pictures from our adventures the past month, I'll try and be better about updating!


The flowers Tanner gave me for my birthday, I love them!





Happy Easter!


LPN Graduation!! Only 7 months left to go! These are my
home girls: Me, Ashley, Rachel, and Christie (Nicole was gone)


Funny faces!


There are tons of other awesome people in our program, but for
some reason I'm lame and didn't take any pictures with them.


Our sweet little niece Noelle was finally blessed on Sunday, May 3rd.
She is so stinkin' cute!

Do I Have a Widow's Peak??!!?

I was just looking at that picture above, and my hairline is all coming to a point. Is it possible I have gone (almost) 22 years without noticing I have a widow's peak? Blonde hair makes it tricky to tell I guess. I keep going back to the mirror and pulling my hair straight back. I think it might be true. Well, I'm baffled Jeffy.

Can you tell I really, really, really don't want to study anymore? So much that I discovered my widow's peak. One of the few dominant traits I have to pass on to our offspring (our kids will look nothing like me), along with my detached earlobes, which other people have, despite Tanner's theory that I'm the only one and they're weird.
