Ramblings...

WARNING: Mushy gushy lovey dovey stuff is found in this post. Also ramblings that might not make sense to you but I wanted to write down so I wouldn't forget. 

The other night one of my MA's stopped by to visit Kevin and I. She is the sweetest girl and we have become really good friends with her the past two semesters. Her "friend":) got home from his mission last week so she stopped by to fill me in on her weekend of getting to see him again. Its been fun the past few months to talk to her about her "wait". We've had some really awesome conversations and its always fun for me to think back to when Kevin was on his mission. While she was visiting with us she asked a few questions about when Kevin and I decided to get married and different things we went through during that time. It was really cool reminiscing about that time.

I love thinking back to those first few weeks after Kevin got back from his mission. It was such a whirlwind of excitement! I remember getting off the plane and seeing Kevin for the first time in 2 years...no words can even explain the happiness/anxiety my heart was feeling. I have never been so excited to see anyone in my life. He hugged me and I didn't want him to ever let go. I'm pretty sure I had a permanent smile on my face for the rest of the weekend while I was with him.  

That night after dinner Kevin and I took a walk and had "the talk". How do you feel? How do I feel? What are we going to do? So many questions. So many emotions and feelings were shared that night. I remember never feeling more sure about anything in my life. I loved him and I didn't want to ever be without him again. My eternity would not be the same unless he was there by my side through it all. There wasn't a doubt in my mind, I was going to marry this handsome man walking next to me. Luckily for me he had mutual feelings. ;)

Listening to my friend the other night share her weekend excitement with us made my heart so happy. I loved seeing the happiness in her eyes and smile. Love does something to people that is just so amazing and sweet to watch. I'm grateful my friend shared her sweet experience with me to help remind me of how blessed I am to have Kevin and how tender our journey has been so far. 

I told my friend to make sure she goes and writes down everything from her fun weekend. After she left I had so many memories racing through my head I decided I needed to write mine down as well. I don't want to ever forget the sweet moments that led to Kevin and I being married. I love my husband and I will love him for eternity.

Until next time...

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

By
Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

By
This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

By
My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
