The beginning of the Myers blog!

A few moments after I created the account for my blog, Rem says to me "Do you think your life is interesting enough to blog about?" Thank you dear for the vote of self confidence... But he does have a point, we are pretty simple. During the week, we work and then on the weekends, we hang out with friends or make a 5 hour drive to see my parents or friends. Well here goes anyway!


About us-
Rem and I have been married for almost 2 years. We met in Fayetteville at church through a mutual friend. When I first moved here, he had a girlfriend. But they eventually broke up and he asked me out. I had plans when he asked me out for the first time. (Not w/ another girl- I had a wedding I was in that weekend for my friend Lindsey) And it took probably another month before our friend Liz could get him to ask me out. We went to dinner and then to hang out w/ friends. But during the date, his old girlfriend called and he answered. Then when it came time to say goodbye for the night, I didn't so much get a smile out of him when I thanked him for dinner. For some unknown reason, when he asked me out again, I went. :) About 5 months later, we decided we wanted to get married and Rem proposed. Then another 5 months later, we were sealed in the Dallas Temple for all time and eternity.



These are just a couple of the wonderful photos that Erika Dotson took. http://www.erikadotsonphotography.com/ Erika is an amazing photographer. If you need are in the market for a photographer and live in NWA, Erika is your girl! 


Here's a shot of everyone that attended.
And another one of my favorites.
2-21-09 the Myers began! 


Rem- AKA Remington (yes like the shot gun), Remmy, Rem-shot and who knows what else


Rem is a local boy. He was born and raised in NWA. He attended Springdale High School and the University of Arkansas. Rem served his mission in Tuscon, AZ. In May of 2010, he completed his masters in Teaching. He now teaches at his former high school. This is Rem's first year teaching and he is well....I don't think decided yet. I know that Rem is a great teacher but the students aren't always so wonderful. He does come home with some good stories. Right now, he is teaching Spanish, Geometry and Personal Finance. For a first year teacher, he's got a full load to teach. Hopefully next year that will change and he can concentrate on one subject. We are just grateful he was able to find a job.


Me- Danielle (I'm not sharing my nick names!)


I am a transplant to NWA. I lived in the south all my life (SC, TN, MS, and AR- in that order). When people ask "Where are you from?", I answer- The south. I went to high school and college in NEA. I graduated from Nettleton High School and then went to Arkansas State University. After graduating, I moved here to work for Walmart. In college, I had numerous roommates. Living with 3-4 other girls at a time was super fun! And I'm being completely serious. We all got along and had the best of times! Moving to a 1 bedroom apartment was a big change for me. I decided that I needed a roommate. So I found Isabell.




If you know me very well, you know that Izzy is my little girl! She is a black Pomeranian. These photos are of her having some fun in the snow last January. Rem loves it when I dress Izzy up. 


This is her in her Santa suit last Christmas. Nana (my mom) got it for her. She didn't wear the hat this year b/c she chewed the strap off it. 


Rem knew that Izzy and I were a package deal. He lovingly adopted Izzy and she loves her daddy. So much that when she needs to use the little girls room in the middle of the night, she stands on top of him and licks his face till he takes her out. Hehe! 


Oh and please excuse any mis-spellings and typos!
