Travis & Hailee Hanks: April 2008

2nd Honeymoon

Travis and I were lucky enough to go with my parents and Jake to the Virgin Islands in January and we had a blast. We called it our second honeymoon. It was beautiful and Travis did a lot of scuba diving and never got out of the water. It was fun to spend some time with Jake before he leaves to Peru, and also be with my parents. We are so grateful for them and all they have done for us, they are wonderful examples of what a marriage should be like. Anyways we really enjoyed ourselves and probably drank way to many pina colodas.

Hailee's Graduation

Well i finally did it i graduated on the 10th of April. It has been nice just doing what I want and getting some stuff done at home. I am studying to take my Social Work license test, so that isn't much fun, but other than that life is good. The snow is finally almost gone, and the moose are going back to the mountains so now I can walk outside again.

Celebrating our 1 year anniversary!!

I couldn't believe that we have really been married one year already. Trav and I decided to save some money and just do something close to home, and save and do a trip or whatever later. I just waited to see what he would plan and he was hoping i would do it of course. So we both went to work on Monday, July 21st, and when i got home he came in from the farm and said get ready we are going to eat. It was so fun we went up to Island Park (which is the same distance as going to Idaho Falls but much prettier) and ate dinner at the Trout Hunter. It was so good, we recommed it. Then Trav took me on a tour to see some of the cabins he helped wire this winter, which was good to finally see where all those late nights were spent. Then we took the Mesa Falls way home. What a beautiful night. The falls were so green and beautiful and the sunset was amazing over the farm fields and mountains. It was so nice to just spend some quality time together and not focusing on work or other stresses. The other pictures are of the day before. My mom bless her heart saved the top of our wedding cake and brought it up to us. So we popped open a little bubbly and enjoyed some of that yummy cake that we only got one bite of on our wedding day. It was so fun, and Trav was sick after, either because he ate so much or because it was a year old.
What a wonderful 1st year it has been. I love Trav so much more each day and look forward to celebrate many more years. And all those people that told us the 1st year was the hardest well i hope you are right, because if that is true then i look forward to the rest, because i loved every minute we have had together. Travis is so good to me, and works so hard at everything he does. Marriage has created in me a larger appreciation and understanding for our Heavenly Fathers love for us, because of the plan that he has created for us to be together forever. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
