We're married!!

Life is good as a married couple!! I love him more & more every day. Here is a sneak peak of how good our wedding photographer is! We're heading out for New York on Monday. All I can say is, we are really enjoying our last few days in God's Country!

first comes love

You know the drill, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage. However, for the time being, we're stopping at the "then comes marriage." No kidding. We're getting married. Me & Jordon. I'm so excited. Not for the wedding part, because let's be honest -- I hate weddings. But I am really looking forward to seeing him every day & being with him for the rest of my life!

So we're getting married. And I really am trying to keep it as simple as possible, but I'm pretty sure Jordon wants to dropkick me half the time when I call to talk to him about wedding stuff. Luckily it's only a one day thing so it shouldn't be too painful for too long.

Jordon is stationed at Fort Drum, New York. So we'll be spending our first year back there. And then we'll see where we go from there. Maybe somewhere else, maybe back to Utah. And yep, after that bit about how my whole family is finally going to live in Utah again, I'm heading out. So my entire family will be in Utah for a total of about 2 1/2 weeks & then I'm out of here!!

..the weekend..

I went to Upstate New York this last weekend with Mike & Sandy to visit Jordon. It was amazing! I actually really like New York. It was beautiful. I don't think it's going to be much fun in the winter time, but that's alright. We did some fun things & ate some good food (my favorite part). And we even bought some baked goods from the Amish folks. Can I just say, I like Rita's baked goods SO much better! We saw some really pretty scenery & checked out some cool little towns. We even went on a dinner cruise on the St. Lawrence River. It was awesome.

I'm so sad to say that my Stewy died while I was in New York. I was so bummed, but I'm lucky to have a sweet little brother who took care of her & buried her for me. I don't think I'll ever find a dog that I loved as much as Stewy, but I'm glad I was with Jordon when it happened. He was pretty comforting & even brought me ice cream hoping it would make me feel better. He has quickly learned my obsession with ice cream.

All I need ...

I can't stop thinking of that song on the movie Little Rascals, when he says, "All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you." My boyfriend is adorable. That's an understatement. There are no words for how amazing he is. I love him so.

All this time, I thought I was missing something. But all I really needed was this guy. No one has ever made me feel so beautiful, so special, or so wanted. I truly am the luckiest girl in the world.






LOVE YOU JORD! Hurry back to us.

turns out

Turns out I've made a few observations the last few days. Here they are:

* My family is the absolute best. Still. I've spent the last few birthdays at Ian & Brenda's house with my siblings & it is by far my favorite way to celebrate getting old.
* My boyfriend is perfect. He got here Sunday & I was lucky enough to be able to pick him up at the airport. Turns out I'm a dipstick & was in the wrong terminal. And although he was way sick of traveling because he hadn't slept in 2 or 3 days. AND he may or may not have been the maddest guy in town when he realized I wasn't where I should have been, he still gave me a big hug & kiss when he saw me. So that made my day. And have I ever mentioned I love his family? Oh, I have? Like 89 times? Ok, just checking. Cause seriously, I love them!
* My roommate/best friend is amazing. I actually didn't just learn this, but gosh dang she's great.
* Only being able to have 2 days off when my boyfriend is home on leave for 15 days blows. He says it should be illegal for me to work while he's home & I completely agree. I'm totally writing a letter.
* Sleep is clearly over-rated.
* My nieces & nephews are so much fun. AND they're super cute. I got some drawings & birthday cards from Isaac & Ella yesterday. They were seriously the best. I asked Ella (who is 2 years old) what was in the picture she drew me. She looked at me like I was the biggest idiot & then said, "I don't know!" It was like she couldn't believe I even had the nerve to ask her.

So there it is.

Oh, one more thing ... how freakin goodlookin is this guy??

Happy Birthday ...

Jordon is here FINALLY! And it has been so great to actually spend some time with him. The last few weeks he has been asking me what I wanted for my birthday & I just kept telling him that I wanted him to come home. This is the best birthday ever. Happy birthday to me!

I got to spend the whole weekend in Fool Creek for Memorial Day. It was great!! I love my family & I was able to see some of Jordon's family as well. I am usually a camera freak taking pictures all the time, but I only got ONE picture this weekend. But it's pretty amazing ....

This is me & Jonah boy. He is so stinkin' cute. He just turned one a few months ago & he's so funny. I have the cutest nieces & nephews.

I went to visit Jordon's family on Sunday for a little while. They are so amazing. They're so nice & always make me feel so welcome.

Morgan was gone all last week visiting her family in California. But she finally came back yesterday!! It was so fun to go bum around with her all day today. We have so much fun together.

I'm turning 26 in a week. Holy crap. I got nothin' to show for it. BUT I do have a damn cute dog. And the best family ever. The best friends. AND the most amazing boyfriend. Seriously, he makes me sooooo happy. So I'm ok with it.
