In honor of Valentines Day

-


This is my favorite picture on our wedding day...Which was not Valentines Day but nonetheless it is a token of our love and the start of eternity together ( I know gag gag...choke...choke...) how can you not be sappy and sentimental when it comes to love...LOL!


I thought for Valentines Day I would share the our story mingled with our first Valentines Day together.


We met in October of 2000. We were set up on a blind date like most of you know...by the end of October (3 weeks later) and some awkward moments with me having a date with another guy in the process...we were considered "together" I am still not sure how that happened oh...sooo...fast...by Thanksgiving he was telling me he wanted to make the next step! (what next step...akk...he was wanting to make things "eternal" is the word he used.) I FREAKED! NO seriously, I broke up with him the next morning...needless to say our first Thanksgiving together ended up being a strange weekend...he left heartbroken and I was heartbroken....a few weeks later our mutual friend (whom set us up) got married (in December) she happened to be getting married in Vegas and so I ended up staying at his house for the wedding.

I wanted to be "strong" so I took my friend Carrie with me on the trip...what help she was...LOL! We ended up unofficially getting back together...(although I wasn't disappointed...I was still very scared) In January it became official and by Valentines Day I was seriously concerned he would propose and I was not ready to say yes...or no for that matter. We would have been engaged by Christmas if he had had his way...

Well, Valentines came and he came down for the weekend and we went out and the whole time I was a bundle of nerves...after we got back to my house he pulled out a little black box...(although it seemed to big for a ring I was still thinking to myself...whatever it is he wants a committment. LOL...he walked around his truck and I thought he couldn't possibly be proposing right outside my house...(then again...my heart was nervous) I was relieved to find two beautiful diamond earrings. I have to be honest I had never seen diamond earrings before and they were gorgeous and I thought...those must be expensive...I felt like it was close enough to ring. LOL...needless to say he put them on me...and I had all the thoughts of what now going through my head...


He was patient and I am pretty sure had help from the spirit, he knew I wasn't ready "yet" and then proposed a month later on St. Patricks Day...


Our story in a nutshell...(I am sure you have all heard it before) but I love sharing it over and over and over and over and over again...I am one lucky woman!




♥HAPPY VALENTINES DAY NATHAN! YOU REALLY ARE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME!♥

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
