Family Traditions

In honor of the holidays we wanted to share what family traditions we have established. The Sunday before Christmas we spend it with Curtis Family. We have dinner and open presents. This year we were the host as we rotate between houses.It was so much fun. During the week of Christmas we visited Brittany's family.

Mom Humphrey made these cute aprons for us!! I now feel domesticated.

One of Curtis' favorite Christmas Candy!!

On Christmas Day we spent the day with us, with our own family that Curtis and I have created. We have taken some of the same traditions that we both grew up and have combined them. We had Brittany's family famous Dessert- Pistachio salad. For Christmas dinner we had stir fry and homemade won tons, a tradition from Curtis' Family. We started a new tradition as a couple. We decided to go shopping for our stockings at the same store but we had to make sure that we did not spot each other in our efforts to shop. It was fun to shop and try and make sure we did not spot each other. Anyways on Christmas morning we opened our presents that were in our stockings. It was great. We had only one slight problem.....

.......We brought each other the same CD. We did not realize that our taste in music was so similar!!!

You got to Love Christmas Traditions!!!

HOW WE MET

This is one of our favorite Stories to tell. For some it may not be exciting but we love to tell everyone. The time period is  2004-2006 . We met on our mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We served in the same area for about four months. After that we all went on to serve in other areas. Brittany still had about 6 months left on her mission while Curtis had about the same. During that time that we all served together we all became quick friends which we still keep in touch with each other from time to time.

Brittany got home about 6 weeks before Curtis did which was Sept. 2006. When Curtis got home he looked me up and invited me to his homecoming. The rest they say was history. We decided to continue to develop our friendship.  Not to say it wasn't easy. Curtis lived in Montana for about 3 months while Brittany lived in Utah. Our phone bills were HUGE. Curtis moved to Utah in Dec. of 2006. This is probably when our relationship got serious.Distance was always against us when we were dating. We lived about an hour and half apart. Poor Curtis when he would come see me he would sometimes have to sleep in his car. (His persistence paid off)  

In order to see each other Curtis would volunteer at the school where Brittany worked. 
Here we are at a museum on a Field Trip Day. The Kids loved having Mr. Curtis come with us.

We were engaged in April of 2007 and we married in June of 2007. 

It was a HOT but some how we did not seem to mind.
