2010 was a wonderful year for Seth and I
--We got engaged (even though that wasn't the funest time for Ol Vic and myself-we worked it out)
--Seth and Zach graduated college and high school.
--Laurie and Joseph Dyches were wed on 6-19-10--Fun.
--We were married 8-15-10 :)-A day made wonderful by the help of ALL my family members!
--We packed up and moved to Utah right after our wedding. We have seen so many beautiful landscapes and met so many great people!
--We were able to go home and visit with our families (that we haven't seen in 4 months!)
2011 will surely be a great year! We are looking forward to spending it in Utah-enjoying all its scenery-national parks-and surrounding states! We are also looking forward to all the visitors we are hopefully expecting :).
The Cook's first Christmas was wonderful-we were able to spend it at our homes in SC. After a full day of traveling with the jitters and 4 months of built up excitement we finally landed and raced off the plane to see my parents and one of Seth's best friends (Jay). I, of course, ran to my folks and Seth ran to Jay :). It was a wonderful homecoming. We traveled to a Cracker Barrel and got to see Eason & Brittany-Zach & Karla-and Seth's lovely parents :)! Our week had started off perfect!
Troupe (my pup) was soo excited to see us :). He did his excitement pee and we wore him out playing that evening! I miss him and I see a custody battle erupting between my father and I when we return to SC and want Troupe back. My dad absolutely loves that dog to death-and he worries about him maybe more than he did with Eason and I!
Our little Cook Family :).
Seth and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to be the 'kids' again at both of our parent's homes. We didn't have any major obligations-chores-responsibilities. We had our parents with us to take care of us at all times and we were able to just relax. That was probably one of the best things! Coming back to Utah-we noticed that we both had to 'grow' up a little bit-we were back to our adult world that we were able to leave behind for a week :).

Cook's Fireplace Cook's Christmas Dinner
My first Christmas with the Cook's was a lot of fun. We were able to visit with Seth's family in Camden one day. Mrs. Cynthia and Emily made a very yummy Christmas dinner for us and we all enjoyed sitting in the Living Room by the fireplace. Christmas morning had an early start-Seth and I tried to get up early everyday and stay up late every evening while we were home. I called my parents to wish them a Merry Christmas morning around 7 and I didn't get a Merry Christmas back-I got a "Erika, it is 7 in the morning-what do you want."-O the love :). Anywho Seth's family are early risers-which is a good thing-so we were all up early on Christmas and were able to enjoy each other. After breakfast-stockings-and presents it turned into a Nerf Gun War targeted at Mrs. Cynthia.
Christmas in Union is a Sineath tradition and we were able to see all of my family so that was perfect :). Friend time came the following few days-we had breakfast with one of my best buds Laurie and her husband-we hung out with Seth's buddies-shot skeets and played some games-and the next day I got to see Sarah and later that evening the newly engaged Beth.

After a great but busy week-Seth and I were ready to head back to our adult lives in Utah and be in our own home :). Looking forward to visitors and the next time we will be in good ol' South Carolina!
