Memories

(My top memories from May 15, 2010)

1: Being in the sealing room

Knowing this is where I should be

Seeing all of the people I love

Becoming a part of another family

Knowing Jon was "The One"

Knowing I was doing the right thing

Finally making it

Knowing I never had to let go of Jon

He was mine, forever

Feeling the greatest peace

Feeling so much love and support

looking in the endless mirrors

having Jon and I go from engaged to sealed

Seeing my dad and father-in-law witness our love

Knowing I can and will NEVER love someone as much as I love Jon

Knowing we will stand side by side, supporting each other

through EVERYTHING, for eternity.

2: My brothers

My brothers have ALWAYS been special to me

I LOVED seeing them there, supporting me

and accepting Jon into the family.

After I got married I hugged Jason first

He just smile at me like he was proud

secretly I think he was glad another sibling FINALLY got married

and could give his kids some cousins to play with

no matter what he was thinking I know he was proud

Then I hugged Justin

the brother who constantly joked about trying to make it

I am glad he did

I can't imagine not having him there

all my brothers have returned from their missions and could be in the temple

this is what I have always wanted

the four of us, in the temple, supporting each other

Justin gave me the "I wouldn't miss this" smile and hugged me tight

I hugged Josh last...

Josh has and will always be special to me

(don't get me wrong, ALL of my brothers are special to me)

He has always been there, watching over me

critiquing all boys I dated

protecting me

Josh gave me the biggest hug and picked me up

He didn't have to say a word

I just knew.

After I thought I had cried all of my joyous/nervous/ spiritual tears...

These 3 hugs squeezed out a few more

and they are three hugs I will always remember

just thinking about them makes me feel loved

3: Family, Friends and people I will get to know

Especially my mom and dad

knowing they have never been so proud

knowing this is where they have always wanted to see me

knowing they were supporting this

handing me tissues and I cried

loving me

supporting me

glad that all the work they did to get me here paid off

knowing all the planning and preparation was worth it

knowing this is the best son in law they could ask for

know they had to start letting their baby girl grow up

All the people we love, in the temple

Supporting Jon and I

Sharing their testimonies of temple marriage

letting us know we all believe in the same thing

telling us they will always be there for us

Some I know very well

Some I love

Some I am growing to love

Some I am getting to know

and most I know have changed my life

It was the greatest feeling to see each and every one

Smiling back at me when I walked in holding Jon's hand

and yes there were tears,

tears of joy, relief and love

4: My uncle Paul

I have always felt I held a special part in Paul's Heart

Paul wasn't a fan of Jon at the beginning (Memorial Day 2009)

Jon stayed at my house a little too late the night before

Paul was being protective

But on this day, he was there...

knowing Jon was the only one who could make me this happy

He was standing at the door ushering people in

Jon and I walked up

Paul gave me his signature hug and whispered in my ear...

"I am proud of you."

Here is where the tears started.

5: Angela and Chase

They were a little late

The elevator doors opened and they had an

"oh crap" look when they saw us

Jon and I laughed,

and some of the nerves were gone.

Thanks guys for being late!

I have MANY wonderful memories from this day. As you can tell from the many posts about it, I LOVED it. It was the perfect day. I wouldn't have changed anything (ok maybe I would have stopped time and made it last forever)

39 hours without my husband....

Sad.

Stupid work.

Taking me away from him.

I hate you right now.

(P.S. Thank you for the pay checks)

I miss swimming lessons

No not taking them,

only did that once.

Teaching them.

I decided to teach my niece and 2 nephews after work.

Yesterday was the first day.

Emri was SO excited.

Katie wanted to get in.

Eoughan and Ethan were a little too excited as well.

They all did so well and I am excited to watch them learn.

I miss what my summers used to be.

Even though Katie couldn't get in, she protected her eyes from the chlorine.

Just incase.

I decided I need to get a better camera on my phone.Katie was also very exited to see Josh and Justin

She has one of the FUNNIEST personalities

How cute is this?

I don't have the proper tools,

but I am having too much fun with what I've got. Off to San Fransisco.

Without my husband.

Sad.

Its only one night.

I can do it.

and you thought chocolate and peanutbutter was a good combination

-Cake flavored ice cream

-ribbon of frosting

-confetti pieces

YES PLEASE!

Both Blue bunny and Baskin Robbins make a form of the deliciousness.

YUMMY!

Comments? Questions? Concerns?Think she can tell a difference?

surprise in a box.It comes in old Gin bottles....

and is as addicting as crack.

(I guess, I have nothing to compare it to)

INTRODUCING...

Gin Crack.

I love it.

I crave it.

I savor it.

I have to ration it.

THANK YOU LESLIE AND AKOS!!!

I NEED more days off...

Today is one of THOSE days

After one of THOSE mornings...

After a few CRAZY patients...

After hearing some BAD news...

After a DISAPPOINTMENT or two...

and during my lunch that I FINALLY got to eat....

This happened.

Sadly (and a little bit embarassing) I wanted to cry.

Its just one of THOSE days.

and NO I am NOT pregnant, but after today I am sure I will be pretty crazy when I am.

Sorry Jon.

This is what you get.

Yesterday I was tired.

I didn't want to do my hair.

What else is new?

So I french braided it and put the end in a messy bun.

Since I am celebrating Pioneer day all week...

I added a red bow to complete my red, white and blue outfit.

I went to work and didn't think anything of it.

One of the nurses told me I had "wedding hair"

Not sure how it was meant....

oh well.

(Side note: I got in the shower last night and my cute husband stole my towel, stuck it in the dryer, and then came back to wrap me up in it.... love him!)

Sometimes I like to pretend I have photo editing skills...

I love him.

Two months later...

I love him even more

possible...

YES!

I still wish I could relive this day.

Thievery... a HORRIBLE thing This is what my world has come to. I have to label EVERYTHING or else it disappears. Spray butter. salad dressing. and an apple just to name a few, have disappeared. How do you label and apple? Really? 5 finger discounts are a sin. stupid kelptomaniac.

My Adventures in Wife land....

via cell phone pictures.

July 4, 2010 Jon and I decided to have a party.

So I had this idea

(my mom helped me with this one)

Pretty cute (only the girls at the party appreciated it.)

Then I wanted a dessert... who doesn't?

So I made PB cookies, rolled the edges in white chocolate and sprinkles....Decided to try out the PB dough in a mini muffin tin

pushed my thumb into them

baked them

filled them with white chocolate and sprinkles....

SUCCESS! DELICIOUS! I decided a cookie wasn't good enough so....

I colored vanilla ice cream and put it between the cookies.I had left over ice cream so...

a few days later

I layered it and decided to make an ice cream cake....Looks pretty good....

Tasted even better

(Yes I LOVE Red, white and blue and am finding ANY excuse to make a RW&B dessert this month.)

One kid at the party told Jon he was lucky because his wife made cake. I just have to pat myself on the back and say on that special saturday I had also gotten up early to:

cook Jon a breakfast burrito before he went to work

do laundry

wash his car

and made this cake.

(I also was a cleaning maniac the next day and managed to cook a delicious sunday dinner) What a successful WIFE weekend, not sure when it will happen again but it was kind of fun. I am also in the process of making a few crafts.... yes crafts. be prepared to be amazed.

Quotes from Monitors....

"It smells like a hospital in here."

Well I would hope so, you are currently in one.

"Bums don't go uphill in San Fransisco, they don't"

Don't hang out at the bottoms of hills in San Fransisco,

you will be attacked by homeless people. For safety, stay uphill.

Thank you America for being born.
