I LOVE my HUBBY!

Me and Bri were having a moment just now, where I looked into his eyes, and just was so thankful for him, and how really meant-to-be we are for each other. For a moment, I forgot all his weaknesses, and just loved him. Then I remembered everything about him, and I told him how well-balanced he is. And how much I LOVE that!!!
These are the reasons I love my husband!

He's annoying, except for sometimes he doesn't bug me.
He's so freaking sexy, but doesn't have a six-pack (he said 'yet')

He's smart, but ridiculously foolish.

He's strong and brave, but afraid of spiders. (he still doesn't admit it though)

He's mature, but still I categorize him as a child in our family.

He's so sweet, and other times ruder than the devil. (ok, not that rude)

He knows politcal things, which is boring when he needs to talk about it, but I'm thankful he knows who the hell everyone is talking about, so he can explain everything to me!

He's so sensitive, actually nevermind. He was the first month we were married!

Oh, and did I mention his muscles, they are freaking awesome, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Really it just comes down to the simple fact that

He's perfect, yet always wrong!!

I love you Brian, wouldn't change anything about you, except for when you're bugging me!

You're my bestest friend in the whole wide world!!!!!!!

Bestest Friends

Presenting Aislee and Avery!!!

These two little friends were born 2 weeks apart. They had their first birthday party together and have always been such good friends. They were separated for a couple years when we moved to Pennsylvania, but a couple weeks ago we got them together, and they picked up right where they left off! These cute little girls put on a fashion show for us and had so much fun, giggling the whole time!! Linds-you sure have raised such a sweet daughter! We LOVE her!!

I present Aislee and Avery's fashion show:



Love the leg warmer Avery, and the wig looks marvelous Ais

Where do I start???

Me and my girls from highschool went and stayed in the BYU dorms and attended Women's Conference. So fun, and amazingly uplifting. It was exactly what I needed. So fun to catch up on all my friends and hear the latest, and so great to hear messages about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, on marriage, on being a mother, on making a home a safe place, on being content with life and all it's struggles, on missionary work, and on our Savior. From the first session to the last, we totally felt such a strong spirit, and knew this was what we all needed to be hearing. I feel so lucky to have been there to hear all the powerful messages. It was so fun to hear Elder L Tom Perry speak and he gave a lot of statistics on our church. Did you know that 80% of the world has had some type of information about our church, whether it be from a missionary, a pamphlet, a friend, the Book of Mormon, and only 30% of those who aren't members actually know what are beliefs are. He had a video that interviewed people asking them who the "Mormons" were. It was pretty sad to hear their answers. One lady said, I know they live in a community and do lots of crafts together.....one said we don't believe in Jesus Christ (if he only knew), one said that when the wives get older, they just get a new one. So sad, it made me want to walk the streets and ask if anyone if they had any questions.

We were in the Marriott Center for a lot of the sessions, and when all the 15000 women would sing, I couldn't help but feel the spirit, and know that God lives, and that he loves me, and that I cannot be without Him and my Savior. The words to "Now let us Rejoice" struck me the hardest. Knowing that WW Phelps wrote that song when the saints were driven from Jackson County Missouri in freezing cold weather, and some with no food or clothing. I can't help but feel so blessed for what I have, and for the knowledge of the gospel. I am so thankful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I'm also so thankful for my friends! We had so much fun being together, feeling uplifted, going to dinner, shopping, and lots of chatting, and laughing!!!! Love you girls, can't wait for next year!!
