Another Anniversary!

  Every year is a blessing, and I'm so very grateful to my heavenly father for such blessings. On Tuesday the 28th of August, Colton and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. I'll be honest we aren't like other couples who do extraordinary gifts and take elaborate trips; we just do us instead! We had a nice long quiet day at home and it was perfect. We have been so overwhelmed with school, work, and other things that occupy our time, so we decided that we would just spend the day enjoying each others company. It was PERFECT!
  We haven't had the easiest marriage thus far, or the tamest of circumstances, but we do have faith in the lord. We know that he loves us and has faith in us and our commitment to our marriage and to him. Our marriage didn't start out that way, but with time it has amounted to that. I'm so grateful to my family for their support and their love. All the times that I ran home crying to my mom, and she had the love and strength to send me back home to my husband to work things out. My younger brother for all his wisdom, and silly comments that make me want to be a better wife and person. And to my oldest brother for his words of kindness and inspiration. Thanks to my husband for his patience, love, kindness, persevering, understanding, and all the other stuff that one must need have to be married to this daughter of god! (which is a lot)
  Last but certainly not least: thank you to my perfect father, and brother who are in heaven! Thank you for all my wonderful blessings, and the strength that you give my heart to endure every day. Without your love I am nothing, and I'm so glad that I can realize that, and know because thou lovest me I am the person I am today and will become better with each passing day! I'm so grateful for the wonderful people you have blessed me with in my life; those who radiate with thy spirit, and help to bring me closer to you everyday! Thank-you Always!




I'll Be missing you

   Oops! Just another thing that assures me that I'm not cut out for this blogging thing. I accidentally erased my last post about my dearest and sweetest friend Elyse, but this just gives me another chance to write about her! I met Elyse and her sweet mom in 2010 when I was invited to come and care for Elyse. All of the moments that we shared together were GREAT! We always got along, and the spirit abided everywhere she was. Elyse always had such a positive attitude, and it rubbed off on me. She gave me the courage to stand for truth and righteousness; was my supporter in all things.
   I miss her tremendously and I'm so sad that I wasn't there to say "till we meet again." I know that she is happy and whole where she is now. Elyse always had a perfect spirit, and now she has her perfect body! I know that she watched over me when she was here on earth, and she still watches over me now. Thank you Elyse for your friendship, love, and the ability to see things in me that I couldn't see.
I love you, for always and forever!

Cardinal Stadium........ YES

Its been about 3 weeks since we moved to AZ. Or since I have moved. So we went from owning our own place to renting  again, and it is a royal pain. You never know how good you have it until you don't have it anymore! Anyways.... Glendale is beautify depending on were it is that your at, were we are not so pretty. About 5 min from where we live is AMAZING!! The cardinal football stadium and the IMAX theater makes are apartment situation not as sad. Even though AZ is really fun its not so much when you are by yourself. So I decided to go and visit my dearest family and friends (who I know just can't live without me) in Utah! Its a good thing I came to because they were all in desperate need of my good looks and be sparkling and vibrant personality! So my mom and I went a little crazy with my mac book and this is what you get!
As you can see we decided to know what we would look like as frogs.....

and then chipmunks! Bahahahaha these two were my faves!

NURSING SCHOOL

Here we come Phoenix Arizona! You read right We are moving to Arizona this weekend so that I can start school in July! It's a scary thought to think that we won't be living in Utah anymore but at the same time I'm so glad that we are going to go somewhere new! As nice as Utah is Colton and I are excited to go somewhere on our own away from family so that we can learn how to rely on each other. Family is great but we need to take a page out of the scriptures, you know the one that says leave your parents and cleave unto your spouse. I love that scripture! I'm so grateful to the lord and all the many blessings that he has blessed Colton and I with. He has always been with me through the good and the bad. The gospel makes bad people good and good people better! With that I'm striving every day to do the things that I know I need to be doing, keeping the commandments. Thanks be to God!

Long, Lost Blogger

 Its been to long...... So here is a recap ( without pictures, sorry) of the last 4 months since the holidays.! Christmas was wonderful and loads of fun! I had only a few days off between work but that was ok with me, cause my co-workers and my residents are my family away from home. We finally got a new projecter for our theater room and now we don't have to spend so much money going to the movies!
 Fast forward to school! I was taking stats and patho, but decided I should drop patho after I got my first test results back. So I picked up Mt. biking (why I did this I will never know), soccer and fitness center! so yes pretty much I'm super good looking ( which is hard to believe because I was so good looking before these classes).
 Besides school, work, and crazy family drama, Colton and I are pretty boring people! We have been having alot of fun though between the two of us and Max! Whom by the way is no longer a cute little pup with blue eyes. He is big, messy, loud, and annoying! We love him anyways!
 My birthday was WONDERFUL! I was engulfed with the best of friends and family! It was a relaxed and very pleasant day! I got everything I wanted and I already had everything that I needed. I'm so glad to have the gospel in my life! How wonderful it is to know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and is always there. I'm grateful for his plan of Salvation and the joy it brings to my life! I'm grateful for my savior  Jesus Christ and for his amazing life. I'm grateful for my husband and his testimony of the gospel, and his kindness towards other's (including myself). Also for my wonderful family!

Wow! Thats a mouthful!

Holiday Suckers

I just wanted to show everyone my first attempts at making cake pops, which didn't turn out totally awful. I made snow men pops which look more like Jack the pumpkin king ( nightmare before Christmas) and also reindeer but those came out the way I wanted them to! Enjoy my pics!
