This is from our 1 year Anniversary. I am not really good at blogging haha I am getting better though right? This was actually Peter's 1st picture with a character EVER! I am glad I got to be in his 1st picture. ;)

The Funny Stuff My Husband Does....Volume #1

Peter and I love having a good laugh and having fun together! This might not seem funny to anyone else because I think it was one of those "you needed to be there things"; however, I had a good laugh about it.



From above picture, what does not belong with the others? P.S. Please do not pay attention to how messy our fridge is...haha we need to clean it out A.S.A.P.



No one else puts Kettle Corn in the refrigerator right? I hope I am not the only one that did not understand why it was in there. hahaha

For those who know Peter, know that when he is tired....he is tired! lol I once had a really long convo with him in bed with him telling me how he was fighting the dragon. That one was my fault though because I could not sleep that night and when I am not tired...I try to wake Peter up to "talk". ;) The other day, I went to grab milk from the refrigerator while I was talking to Peter on the phone. When I saw the Kettle Corn, I asked if he put it in the fridge. He started busting up laughing and said, "I was so hungry and tired". hahaha Ohhhhhh I love my Peter! 123

Peter is always making me laugh so I decided, I wanted to remember those moments. This will be the 1st of many volumes I believe ;) Love you honey!

My sweet UNLV Hubby!

I wanted to give a blog post dedicated to my sweet husband who likes to make my life soooo much easier! I am literally so happy right now! He makes me smile every time I see him and I LOVE everything we do together! I always heard it said that people that are married fall more in love each day and I know that is true. He is my best friend and I am so happy I made the choice to marry him. Peter started yet another semester of school. He is working so hard at his job and school that when school starts again after break, I hate it! I see him less and it is so sad to me. With Peter hitting the books, he still has some time to help me out....

If you don't know by now...Peter and I have had the WORST luck with cars. haha Only my old faith full car, Elena (yeah Vampire Diaries...so what hehe) is working. Peter and I just bought a new car so this is Peter on his free time...



"Kassie, I want a hug!" Sorry love!

I am also in Young Womens! Love my calling but this time of year is crazy for us because we are doing our Valentine Bouquet Fundraiser. My little task is to make the center piece of the candy bouquets. We got to tie 250 bows and glue them on sticks and cut out and glitter 250 hearts and glue those on stick. Well I worked hard on tying the bows and Peter helped cut the stings for me but when I came home last Thursday, Peter glittered every single heart and cut a ton out. Sweet right? It made today so much easier as I just finished cutting and am about to glue the final products. Just doing a quick blog break! :)







Awww my husband loves me even when I come home after work. Don't mind my scrubs and messy hair ^^^ hehe

A lot of glitter hearts huh?

Anyways, love you Peter! Thanks for being my "only star"! 123

Now for a story about us...

Kassie was at work and her super nice boss wanted to give her tickets to the UNLV Basketball game because he could not use them and he knew Kassie's husband went to school there. While trying to decide if they wanted to go, Peter and Kassie decided they would. Kassie has always been a BYU fan. Always have and always will. UNLV was not playing BYU though so it was decided she would cheer for UNLV. ;) Despite her best efforts not like UNLV and the fans, Peter and Kassie had so much fun! They cheered with everyone else and loved when everyone in the crowd started cheering for Herbert, who turned 91 (it was his Birthday) and have been sitting in the same seats since the Thomas and Mack Center opened. He was a true Rebel fan! UNLV won and actually got 101 points, which was what everyone in the seats wanted. After they had some pizza. It was a fun mid-week date! Peter wants to get Kassie a shirt for the next game...hmmmm....not sure if that will happen quite yet. One step at a time babe! haha Best quote of the night...
"haha Peter look at those UNLV fans dressed up as old people"
"Yeah, I see them. What I can't figure out is if they are really old people or dressed up like old people."

"hahahah Really? Look at this picture!"



Funny that in the sea of red, I am still wearing my colors. Navy blue..it was not on purpose, I promise but funny though.





Driving home...there was a line of cars!

Thanks for stopping by!

This year; however, Britt had her New Years Eve dance to go to...which she looked soooo cute by the way...so we decided to party it up at home with Belle. We played games, ate some yummy food, and yelled errr counted in the New Year! Then...I got my New Year kiss and did some poppers with everyone. It was really fun!

Love you all!

Christmas with my Brother!

Ok so I am not good at this blog thing....maybe....New Year resolution??? haha I had had HAD to post about Christmas this year though. I had no idea what Christmas would be like without Tav this year and let me tell you, it was hard. When putting up our Christmas tree at the Fox home, every time we pulled an ornament that Tav picked out,(each year, we have a tradition where we pick a new ornament for the tree...one year Tav picked this ugly bird and no matter how we would try to get him to have a new one, he would not budge...he wanted the bird. Now it is at the top of our tree haha)(hardest ornament= bird and frame he got last year that had a small mission call in it), we would all start crying. Dad even said after a few ornaments, "ok, let's just not put up the Christmas tree this year or the next". haha We just kept reminding ourselves, Tavin would want us to have fun and build more memories. Anyways, we did build memories. We took Christmas pictures for the Fox Christmas card. Hahaha Gotta love having a Mom who is so good at pictures.


Fox Family Christmas card! :) I have a pretty cute fam huh?





And of course... family pictures! hehe

We also made Gingerbread Houses...pictures to be posted later. Christmas gifts delivered with us having a hay ride with hot chocolate at the same time. :D Annnnddd....for the important stuff...Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Christmas Eve was fun. We went gag gift shopping in the morning, wrapped presents, danced around, and then got ready for dinner. We had the missionaries over for our traditional fondue. It is always my favorite and the missionaries had never had it before. One kept taking pictures of our chocolate fountain we had for dessert. We have awesome missionaries! I love having them over because it has a different feeling with my brother gone. After they left, we did our Christmas Nativity. I was the Angel this year, played Christmas pictionary, Mom and Dad gave us a pretty picture of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus and talked to us about it (it was such a sweet message that I will always remember...I have the picture up in our room, Mom and Dad :) ), then we went up on the roof to put the reindeer food. All pictures to come later when I get them from my Mom's camera :S. Oh and let's not forget, Santa came with Christmas PJs for us again. :) I just love Christmas Eve! Then it was off to bed in Brittin's and Belle's room. It is a tradition to have sibling sleepovers! I love it!

Next morning, Belle woke us up bright and early to check out the gifts. Peter, my parents, and I were so tired but no "five more minutes", we were dragged out to the family room. We were able to open 1 stocking gift before we had to get ready to talk to Tav. I could not let him think I let myself go since he left, you know, with my curly bed hair and all. haha At 10:00, that is when I got the BEST Christmas present. Tavin called!!!!! Actually Skyped!!! It was so amazing to see him and he had an accent kind of which made me laugh so hard. He told about amazing experiences and we talked about our life. We laughed and when it was time to say bye, cried so hard! I just love my brother so much and am so proud of him. He is such an example to us all! We got to see the family he was at and showed a cute Brazilian boy his room that still has the spray paint all over it. haha Tav, you will have to repaint it when you get home. We also talked to the little boy, Tav told him what to say and he was so proud of himself, Tav said, he was telling his whole family how he talked to us. haha It was a Christmas morning I will remember forever! Here are some pictures below. They were taken with my phone sooo not the best quality. haha














I just love him! In one you can also see the Brazilian boy we got to talk to. We made a joke about if he was interested in 14 yr. olds cause Britt was here and he was 12 and he laughed and said he loves Americans.

After a tearful goodbye, we opened presents. I am a spoiled girl! Peter was too good to me this year and same with my family. They all knew exactly what I would want. Oh and Mom and Dad, I think I told you not to spend too much on us this year. You did not listen! haha Thanks though for everything Fox family! After we had a turkey dinner! YUM! Then Peter and I went over to the Petersen house to visit and exchange gifts! Thanks so much as well! We love it all! I am blessed with a great family on both sides! When the Petersen family started to hit the hay, we finished our night with some fun games!

Thanks everyone for all you do for Peter and I! During our poor college days, we are so thankful for the help we always get! Thanks Dad for the major work you have done to get us heat and air coditioning. Without that help, we would be completely broke. Literally! Also, thanks for coming with us to check out the car! Thanks to Mom and Dad, for the endless advice and counsel you have given me. I truly take everything into my heart and am making some great New year's Resolutions. Thanks to my whole family, Mom, Dad, Brittin, and Belle for always being there to talk, hang out, and have fun with! I am truly blessed! I am thankful for letters in which I can share things with Tavin and still remain close to him! I love getting together with Tav's best friend when she is visiting from college...thanks for always coming over Lindsey! My family are my best friends. I would also like to thank the members of the "Date of the Month Club". You guys truly are our greatest friends and I have loved and cherished all of our fun dates and get togethers and I can't wait to do more this coming up New Year! I am thankful for extended family and other friends in my life! I miss the friends that live far away that I do not get to see as often! I love all the people in our lives!

Merry late Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love, The Petersens

Our First!

Here is my goal, before my 2nd year anniversary, I want to do mine and Peter's story. I don't think everyone has heard it and if you have...sorry....I want to have it on here for the future when details might not be so clear haha. So without further ado....Kassie and Peter's Grand Adventure! ;)

The story takes place once upon a time in the summer of 2008 and I just got back from school/ my oversea adventure to England. I did not really want to go to the singles ward; however, all my friends were either at school or on missions soooo I decided, I needed to make some new friends. I nervously went my 1st time and ran into a old friend I met on this blind date we all went on back in HS. I was so excited to see her and she started to tell me about this fun group of friends she did everything with. She dragged me over to this group of mostly guys and introduced me to all of them. I talked to all of them except Peter at 1st. haha Some knew people I did, or had younger brothers that was my age, so it opened lots of discussions. During Sunday School we all went and that is when I met Peter the 1st time. We got to talking after class and before I knew it R.S. was over and it was time for Linger Longer (that was once a month where we would eat and just chat with everyone in the ward). Peter's group was so much fun and so easy to talk to. I remember thinking Peter was cute but I knew I just did not want to date ANYONE at that time of my life. Peter sent a text, he told me, when they asked about their friend Kassie being drop dead gorgeous, Peter responded, "yeah I dropped dead 10 minutes ago". Numbers were exchanged by saying, "Just to let you know my name is Peter Petersen and my middle name is Lindsey. You will find out soon so I want to just get it out there." haha and then he invited me to play games later on.

When I got home from church, my Mom asked me how it was and I plunged into the story of meeting this group of friends. After I was done, Mom said, "they are return missionaries? Ok be careful" haha Moms are so smart aren't they?

Later that night, we played signs. If you are reading this and have not played signs....oh my gosh you have to! It is so much fun! Peter was my "to go to" person the whole night. Poor boy! He would accept my sign even if it meant he would loose. Sorry love! We played late into the night and then went home! So there you have it folks our beginning. haha I would never have guessed I would have married this fun person I met the 1st Sunday at the Singles Ward (especially since I was so anti-marriage....I know lots of people say that but let me tell you it was 100% true...it's actually the reason Peter would not bring up the marriage talk when he wanted to because he knew my feelings haha).

After that night, I did EVERYTHING with this group. They were so much fun! Peter and I became the best of friends. I could talk to him about anything and everything and we would spend hours talking on the phone. We went through some drama times but now, as you can see, it payed off. ;)

Our 1st date happened the summer of 2008....not sure the exact day....sorry! It was tons of fun. We went to a BIG Bonfire which turned out to be more of a hang out with friends. lol That is what Peter and I felt through the night. The boys did bombs while the girls talked. haha I have a video of a Sobe bomb going bad and it ends with me saying, "ow" because, that's right, I got hit by glass. Crazy right?



Above is a picture of me the night of our 1st date. :D

Anyways, that is my story for now. Now you have all heard when I met my Peter and our 1st date. Be ready for more stories and pictures to come. Oh and Corrie, thanks for the introduction...Love you Girl!

Love,
The Petersens <3
