1 Year

Today November 26 marks Dustin and mines 1 year anniversary of going through the Temple and being sealed together!! It was black friday that day but for us it was "white friday" :) It was the most amazing experience in my life!! I am so grateful that Dustin and I had changed our lives for the good and we were able to go through the Temple together.


Whenever I think back to that day a year ago I always think or say that it was the greatest day ever and also the worst day ever. You see the night before we went through the Temple Dustin got a phone call from his grandma saying that they had taken his mom to the hospital that she was unconcious. Well this hadn't been the first time so we thought that she would get the medicine to clear the acid out of her and that she would get better. So Dustin told me and we prayed and we felt that we would still stay up at my parents house and go through the Temple and then see how she was after. So that day after we went through the Temple when we were eating lunch with our friends and our family Dustin got a phone call from his Aunt saying that his mom wasn't doing better and that there was nothing the doctors could do and that she wasn't going to make it and they didn't know how much longer she was going to live. (See how it was the best day ever to the worst day ever) So we had to hurry and leave and go to the hospital to see his mom. I remember that day when we were there at the hospital I was alone with Jan and I was talking to her about me and Dustin going through the Temple that morning and I said how much I loved her son and that I promised that I would take care of him. Even though she was kind of out of it I know that she heard me and was happy for us. Also when Dustin and I were alone with her that day Dustin was talking to her about us going through the Temple and asked her if she wanted us to to her temple work for her she said "yes" So I can't wait to be able to do her work for her.
I can't believe it has been a year since we went through the Temple. I love it so much I love that Dustin and I are sealed and someday when we have a family knowing that our family will be together forever makes me so happy. Even though that day we found out the worst news about Dustin's mom it was such a blessing for us to have the gospel and go through the Temple and to know the plan of salvation that we will be able to see her again someday. I love Dustin so much and I love that we are going to go to the Temple tonight and we are going to start a tradition of going to the Temple on our anniversary each year!! ;)

Thankful

Well its that time of the year and I just wanted to post the things that I'm thankful for I wanted to do the thankful day thing where each day you say what you are thankful for.....but as you see it is the 20th and I didn't do that ha ha ha

What I'm thankful.........

First one that I have to say is the Gospel everything about the Church. Its so so so amazing!!! Words really can't describe how I feel about it. I fell away from the Church awhile ago and I know how if feels to not have the gospel and the Holy Ghost in your life. It is so amazing and I am so grateful for it. I know Dustin and I wouldn't be where we are in our lives if it wasn't for the Gospel. We probably wouldn't even be together. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and the power of repentance. I could go on an on but most of all I'm so thankful for my loving Heavenly Father who I know for a fact he listens and answers prayers!!!
Thankful for my husband Dustin!! I am so thankful for him he is awesome!! He makes me so HAPPY!! I am so thankful that he changed is life around with me and we are now married and sealed in the Temple. I love that he is a worthy priesthood holder. I love how hard he works in his job to be the provider for our family. I can't wait to start a family with him and am so grateful that our family will be together forever!!
Thankful for my amazing family!!! I am so grateful and lucky for having them in my life!! My parents are amazing they have always been there for me from supporting me in all my sports growing up to being such amazing examples to me on how to live your life and be faithful people. I am so grateful for my amazing and awesome siblings Aubrey, Lisa and Brad!!! They are amazing even though they picked on my so much growing up ha ha I love them and they are such good examples to me!!! Thankful for my extended family too and all that they do for Dustin and I!!
Thankful for my cute nieces and nephews!! ;) Oh I just love them all. Its amazing how much love I have for them and it shows just a glimpse of how much love I will have for my kids!!
Thankful for my friends. My friends are awesome!! I really have some amazing friends in my life that have been there for a long time and some that have been there shortly ;) You know who you are!!!
Thankful for our jobs. I know you may think why is she putting this on here she complains a lot about going to work he he he. But I am really thankful that Dustin and I have jobs and that we can do the things we want to because we have money for them. So many people don't have jobs and for those of us that do we are really lucky. We are so lucky to be able to afford the simple things in life like food, heat, water and etc...
Thankful for the Armed Forces. The service men and women who willing serve this country so we can be free to do the things we want. I just have to say I was thankful for them before but now to have my brother in law Justin in my family who is in the Air Force it makes me so much more grateful and proud to be an American. God bless our Troops!!!
Well those are the people and things that I am truly thankful for. There is so much more I'm thankful for but those are the most important to me!! I love this time of season. It always bugs me that stores and people skip over Thanksgiving because of Christmas. I always wonder don't they have anything they are thankful for?? Well I love Thanksgiving not just because of the yummy food(that is a big part) ha ha ha!! But I love spending time with family and loved ones!! I love the holiday seasons most of all because of being with family. Well I hope everyone has Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Two Year Anniversary!!

Well on November 7th Dustin and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary!! I really can't believe it has been 2 years already it really seems like yesterday we were getting married.


Well we didn't really do anything on our official anniversary I went to work for a couple of hours and then picked up some yummy food from Golden Dynasty and finished unpacking. Yep Dustin and I are finally out of the grandparents basement!!! It is so nice to be on our own again!!! We really wanted to stay there and pay more stuff off and then move into a house but some stuff has happened the past couple of months and it was just time for us to move. I really was going crazy there!!! Don't get me wrong I am really grateful that the grandparents let us move there it really helped us get back onto our feet again but it was time ;)I love our little apartment its perfect for us for right now!!

But back to our anniversary we decided to go up to Park City and stay at the Waldorf Astoria hotel!!! All I can say is it was amazing!! The hotel is awesome!! Here are a few pics of our trip ;)

Dinner at Bandits Grill and Bar
Walking in the snow around old Main Street
Leaving :(

Our trip was so much fun and I really didn't want to come back ;) My favorite parts were the awesome hotel I know I might sound stupid but it was so amazing I think Dustin favorite part was the valet parking he thought that was so cool LOL!! Dinner was delicious we were looking at all different places to eat and the prices were a little to pricey for us so we finally found Bandits Grill and Bar and it was soooooo good I got the prime rib and Dustin got the pulled pork plater. I highly recommend going there I even tried to get Dustin to go back for lunch ha ha ;) I loved walking around the Old Main street it was just perfect it was night time and snowing and was so romantic!! But my all time favorite part of the whole trip besides being there with my amazing husband Dustin, was we decided since we got the hotel and trip that we would write letters to each other just saying how much we love each other and stuff. I was kind of hesitant of Dustins I was thinking that it would be a paper with "I love you" in it and signed Dustin but he totally caught me off guard and wrote a whole letter and how he feels about me!!! AWWWW I know!! It was perfect I loved it and it totally knocked my letter out of the park(hes says it didn't)

But I just want to say I really LOVE Dustin he is the perfect husband for me!! I can't believe it has been 2 years!!! It really seems like yesterday we got married its funny because I never thought we would get married we dated for 6 years before ha ha!! But it finally happened YAY!! I really love Dustin so much, I love that he works so hard in his job. I love that I'm still head over heels for him he just makes me so happy!! I LOVE that we are married and that specially we are sealed together!! He makes me so happy words really can't describe how much a truly love him!! He is my best friend. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY babe can't wait to celebrate many many more with you!!
