So I'm finishing all the thank you cards from the wedding and feel like I have been addressing envelopes for months. So instead of sending out Christmas cards we are blogging our Christmas card this year. So here goes nothing!
Merry Christmas
The Mylers have had an incredible 2014. We have been enjoying this first Christmas together as we remember the Savior's birth and what the reason for this season is.
Steven has been super busy with work the last couple of months with Tesla's new gigafactory coming to Nevada. He has been working really hard to make sure that they have all the machines that they need in order to build the mile long building. He also has been working on converting a mivec engine to one that will work in his Dodge Stealth. He has had fun figuring out all the things he needs to change without having anyone he knows that has ever done this before.
Brittany has had a fun year starting with graduating from BYU this last April. She received her Bachelors degree in Exercise Science and is trying to figure out what to do with that now. She has decided to train for a marathon in 2015. Hopefully everything goes well and her knees can handle the training. She has learned that she loves to cook and bake. She loves spending the afternoon cooking dinner and trying new recipes.
Both... well first off they got married!! It has been a blast being able to wake up next to their best friend every morning. They have enjoyed the last 7 months of being married. They also enjoyed a trip to Hawaii over Thanksgiving where they were able to snorkel, hike, swim, and drive the beautiful island of Kauai. Steven's favorite thing was taking a helicopter around the island and being able to see the whole island and the Na Pali Coast from the air. Brittany's favorite part was hiking the Na Pali Coast and swimming in a waterfall. The water was freezing cold but it was incredible being able to see the water coming off the green cliffs. It was worth the hike in and the freezing swim into the waterfall. They also spent a weekend in October in Pocatello/Rexburg visiting Steve's sister and his good friend Rustin and his wife Allison. They went throught the haunted mill, and to Brittany's joy they made it out alive. They loved spending time with family and friends. They also were able to go to Denver and spend a weekend with the Platt's and go to a Broncos game. It was the first for Steve and Brittany and they had a blast!
We hope everyone finds peace and joy during this Christmas season. And that we all can take sometime to remember the Savior's birth and all he did for each of us. We love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas !!

Together Forever
So we recently went to Hawaii for our "real" honeymoon. I call it real because Steven and I spent a week in Northern California right after we got married, but we really wanted to head to Hawaii. So we finally got to go. (I'll share some pictures and things later...but I want to talk about something else first.) I've been trying to find a way to express what I've been feeling and I think this is the best way.
We had just landed in San Francisco on our way out when my mom called to tell me that my grandfather had passed away. I think at first I was in shock, I couldn't believe that he was gone. I couldn't help but think off all my memories with him. We got into Hawaii late that same night and I was up early the next morning (partially because of jet lag). I headed out on the lanai to watch the sunrise and think through somethings. I couldn't help but remember heading to Hawaii with him and my grandmother as a child. I remembered heading to Pearl Harbor with him and learning about WWII. I remembered the summer I lived with him helping him to get ready for their move to Utah. He was more quiet than my grandma and so many of my memories before her death are ones that are quieter. I remember heading out to the garage one day and he was sitting there stripping the orange color from a nightstand that he had picked up. It was really pretty it had a flower carved into the front and had a beautiful wood under that orange. He was so patient and so kind to teach me and let me help out.
He was a kind man that was willing to help anyone that needed it. I loved my time I spent with him that summer and I loved being about to learn from him. He was an example of living what he believed. I knew that he had a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He knew for himself that Christ lived and that he could be reunited with his wife after death.
As I attended his funeral and stood around him with my family I couldn't help but think of eternal families. I know that he is with his parents and with his beautiful wife. I know that Steven and I can be together forever so long as we work towards it. I know that funerals aren't the end but a goodbye for a short time in this life. I know it was a hard thing, but I really loved having my husband there with me. When my grandma died I felt so lonely. I was serving a mission for my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Fay Saints, and was only able to talk to my mom for 5 minutes. It was hard to not go to her funeral and be able to share the feelings of sadness I felt with someone. I'm thankful that we could make it back from Hawaii in time to make it there.
I love you grandpa!! I hope grandma and you are having a blast up there together!! Till we see each other again!!

Welcome to BS!
So we decided to join the blog world. I've realized that I'm so great at sharing on social media (except Instagram...I love seeing everyone's pictures). So to update those we love I've decided to start writing what is going on in our lives.
Steven and I were talking the other day and we realized that on the Platt side of the family all couples are known by their initials. For example my older brother Trenton and his wife Julie are known as TJ. They are probably the ones that started it because it was just so much easier than saying Trent and Julie. Tiffany got married this last year as well to Trevor and so they are TnT. Well Steven and I realized that we were BS. May be offensive to some but to us we thought it was funny...so here I hope to write some of the daily happenings of BS in the Myler home. Can't wait to share our thoughts and lives with all of you!!
