Soulmates: B.B.B.S.U. (and spouses too)

Well we've been married for 4 years now. I never thought I'd get married within 2 months from meeting and going on our first date, but sure enough you can't help who your heart falls for. I'm sure glad my heart fell for him. We were married on Feb 29th, 2008 because leap year may come every 4 years, but a love like ours comes only once in a lifetime. We were just recently sealed for time and all eternity and it feels so wonderful knowing that we are now a "Forever Family". It's been such a blessing to have Chad in my life and I am grateful every day that the Lord lets me enjoy here on earth with my SOULMATE.

B.B.B.S.U. (and spouses too)

(Kody, Bryan, Dad, Ryan, Justin and Chad)

Every month my brothers get together for what they call BBBSU (Brothers, Breakfast and Blowing Stuff Up). They usually get together and go running in the early morning. Then they go to Ihop or somewhere for breakfast. After that they drive out to the West side of Utah Lake and they do some shooting or "blowing stuff up". Well this time my mom and I tagged along and we soon learned why they don't take women.

My brothers and dad all brought their guns as they always do. It was kind of cool to see their collection of guns. Ryan had a shotgun and Justin had a hand gun. Kody had a revolver and a little pink camouflage handgun and my dad had a miscommunication and brought his nail gun and nails (instead of handgun and shells). He also brought this really REALLY loud shotgun that we could all feel when we were standing anywhere near him.

When we were ordering breakfast all the guys quickly ordered their food and a glass of orange juice. My mother and I had to put in our special ordered food and then substitute hash-browns for eggs or some other kind of difficult order. Then we had orange juice and then water on the side. The guys just laughed and made jokes about "this is why we don't bring women". When we drove out to go shooting, the guys drove to the spot, set up their targets and started shooting. My mother and I were more concerned about how beautiful the view was and when the next "potty break" would be. I was more into taking pictures and getting the "right shot" with the camera than I was worried about shooting the target in the right place.

Needless to say, we now know why they don't invite the girls to go with them, but I am so grateful that they made an exception just this one time. I had so much fun hanging out with them and I am so glad the Heavenly Father gave me 7 amazing brothers. I'm grateful for my beautiful sisters too and I hope they are able to come with us sometime.

Way to go Chad!!!

Ryan is getting the perfect shot

Dad helping with the kick back

You go Sarah Palin...

Kody has the hang of it

Little Things I'm grateful for everyday

2/6/2011: Today I am grateful for PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME for who I am. People who enjoying spending time with me just because. People who put me first and make me feel important. Thanks Chad and Josh for turning a bad day around.

9/13/2010: Today I am grateful for MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS. I know I know, they are bad for me and caused me to have heart problems. But I just started back at work and I am not use to being awake so early and I have been at risk of dozing off while driving and while I'm at work. So it has saved my life these last few days.

9/11/2010: Today I am grateful for my FREEDOM and for THOSE WHO DIED 9 YEARS AGO TODAY. I remember that day so clearly in my mind and I'm am so grateful and also sad for those who died that day. Thank you for the sacrifice you made so that I may live.

9/2/2010: Today I'm grateful for NONI. She is one of my dearest friends and always knows what I need. She has been such a blessing in my life and we have so many amazing stories together. Usually they all end in us rolling on the floor laughing so hard that we are in risk of peeing our pants. Love you Loni!

9/1/2010: It's been a while but I'm not any less grateful. Today I'm grateful for MY HANDY HUSBAND. He built me a wonderful desk because I'm headed back to school.

6/20/2010: Today I am grateful for MY PARENT'S WASHER AND DRYER. Yesterday while trying to catch up on all of our laundry from the last week, our dryer went out. It will no longer heat up the clothes and dry them. So while my parents are out of town we came to their house to use their dryer.

6/19/2010: Today I am grateful for AIR CONDITIONING. We were working out in our yard and garage today trying to get our bikes fixed and the yard looking decent and boy was it hot. I had to come inside several times just to get cooled off.

6/11/2010: Today I am grateful for SISTERS. Tonight we had a bachelorette party for my new sister in law Yvette and it was so nice to just be with the women of the family and bond as sisters (and mom) it was great and I'm so blessed to have such wonderful women in my family.

6/3/2010: Today I am grateful for CURTAINS. The sun shines so bright through our bedroom window starting at 5:30am. It gets so hot and bright in the room even with the blinds closed. So I got some curtains from my mom's house and it has made things 100% better. I am actually able to sleep past 5:30am now. Thanks mom for the curtains.

5/18/2010: Today I am grateful for the RAIN. I know I use this a lot as something I am grateful for but I really am. I LOVE the rain and can not get enough of it. Especially when it's 80 degrees outside like it was today and it was just pouring. I wish I lived somewhere where it rained like this ALL THE TIME.

5/10/2010: Today I am grateful for cough medicine. I've been fighting a nasty could all weekend and it still has the best of me. I am so grateful for the cold medicine that masks the unpleasant symptoms. I'm also grateful for my wonderful husband who runs to the store in the middle of the night to get me more medicine when I run out. He is amazing.

4/21/2010: Today I am grateful for the RAIN, although I was indoors most of the day, I would love to have been out dancing in the rain. I love everything about the rain. It is truly my favorite weather. I wish it would rain every day.

3/23/2010: It has been a little bit, but I am not less grateful. Today I am grateful for WONDERFUL FRIENDS. I have great friends at work that are such a great example for me.

3/12/2010: Today I am grateful for WARM BLANKETS. My feet and hands were so cold and it felt so nice to cuddle up in a big fuzzy blanket and get warm. Folesome helped to keep my feet warm, seeing as how he climbed under the blanket and fell asleep on my toes.

3/11/2010: Today I am grateful for my brother JUSTIN, it's his birthday today and I'm so grateful he was born. My life has been blessed with many experiences both funny and great learning experiences because of him. Love you Justin!

3/10/2010: I'm grateful for CHAD today, he woke me up early today so that he could make me breakfast in bed. He is such a sweetheart and working so hard to show me that he can provide for me. What a blessing he is. I am grateful for Chad and breakfast in bed today. It was Yummy.

3/9/2010: I am grateful for RAIN today. Even though it snowed at my house and it was cold, while I was down in town I got to enjoy the rain and all of it's beauty. Rain is my absolute favorite weather and I can't get enough of it. I wish it would rain every day.

3/6/2010: I am grateful for FAMILY today. We had such a wonderful surprise birthday party for my dad's 60th Birthday party today and had such a wonderful turn out. It was nice to have most of my family close by. Brandon wasn't able to be there and Qwinette was also not able to be there, But it was so nice to see everyone who was able to make it.

3/5/2010: I am grateful for TEMPLES today. It was so great to go to the Temple and do baptisms with my family members. What a wonderful first time experience for all of us.

3/3/2010: I am grateful for the PRIESTHOOD today. My brother in law has been very ill in the hospital and my dad and husband were able to go give him a blessing today. I am so grateful for the priesthood and all the blessings it brings to my life.
