We have recently gotten internet at our house (due to my husbands persistent yet patient reminding) and it has been wonderful! Rob was looking through all of his brothers and sisters blogs getting 'all caught up' on everyone's lives the other day, and after over an hour of bouncing around on everyone's blogs he finally puts his computer down, looks at me with almost a pouting/puppy dog face and says, "Why don't we have a blog???" Haha it was just too cute... So here we go! We now have a blog!!!
Here's the lowdown on our life and all of it's adventures:
Larissa Janae Dickson: I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 8, 1990. My family moved around a bit until we finally planted in Idaho Falls where I graduated from Hillcrest High School. Excited to 'get out and experience the "real world" ' I ran off to school at BYU-Idaho where I ended up majoring in Business Management (which basically meant I had NO IDEA what I wanted to do, but I had to pick a major to appease the school and my daddy, so there ya go!). I'm 21, currently trying out the 'homemaker' job title, and LOVING it!
Robin Southworth Dickson: Rob was born in Provo, Utah on April 28, 1988. His family ended up settling down in Enumclaw, Washington where he grew up and graduated. He served his mission in the Salt Lake, Utah area and once he got off his mission he enrolled at BYU-I where he partied hard for 2 semesters. He ended moved in with his Aunt in Idaho Falls during his off track so he could work as an Operations-Manager at Maverick. After suffering through that job for almost a year he hit a lucky spell and got hired up at the wind farms for Invenergy, and he LOVES it. What guy wouldn't love climbing ladders for a living right?!
Our Story: Rob and I met at...wait for it... Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows Part 1 midnight premier! Epic right?! I was super stoked to go, he...showed up because he had nothing better to do. Turns out his cousin who he was living with at the time was one of my friends from high school and we all ended up hanging out that night. Less than 1 month later we were dating, less than 2 months after that we were engaged, and less than 3 months after that we were finally married in Idaho Falls temple. Now we're living in Idaho Falls just a block away from the temple... And everything else is history!!!
Bors Dickson: Once Rob and I were engaged, we decided that we needed to make our family a little bit bigger, so we bought a puppy! (mainly due to my begging and begging and BEGGING to get a dog) Bors was born in March 2010, is 3/4 lab and 1/4 black and tan coon hound. He's pretty much the cutest dang dog in the entire world. Even though Rob will swear that Bors is my dog, he's definitely a daddy's boy and doesn't have much to do with me unless I have treats for him :) Despite his barking, jumping, drooling, and licking... we really do love him (even though one of us is complaining about him 95% of the time :) ).
And that's about it! For right now it's just me and my boys and we are all LOVING life and trying to enjoy it to it's fullest!
