Applebee's

Last night Institute rocked.
Let me show you why.
This is two sets of scriptures.
My best friends and I (might I add).
We were baptized on the same day.
She went first cause I was too scared.
We've been best friends ever since.
That's 13+ years now.
We both got a set of scriptures for our Baptism,
and that is what you see in the picture.
We've yet to get a new set, and
neither of us want to.
I love that I can share special things like
this with her :)


Then, at Institute last night,
we had a freak out.
Abby is on the left, I am on the right.
Abby noticed that our scripture printing was off.
That her "Thessalonians" was on a different page than mine.
So then I started freaking out and noticed the page numbers were different.
So I turned the page and showed her she was missing chapter 5.
She freaked. Then she started laughing.
And I realized why.
She was in First Thessalonian's and I was in Second Thessalonians.
Hahahahahahaha, it might not sound funny to you,
but we were crying.


After Institute we were starving, so we decided to go out to eat.
We invited my friend Jaron to come with us.
We all grew up together so it was just some old friends getting together :)
Jaron and I shared a 2 for $20 and Abby rode solo.
Jaron was a sweetheart and bought us desert :) Yum!
After which it was snowing, and Abby's car was burried.
She didn't have a scraper and so Jaron used his arm.
Thanks for being a gentleman Jaron :)

It was such a fun night!
I love my friends :)


I'm A Belieber..

How dare I post about another boy
before Brady's month mark post,
right?
Oh well, Brady will forgive me :)


Guess whose birthday is today?
That's right.
My beautiful boyfriends ;)

Bahahahaha.
I stinkin' love JB.
And not in a "oh I want to marry him" way.
More of a, "If Ellen asked me to get in a box,
be taken to her show only to be surprised by
Justin Bieber" kind of way, then yes :)
Hahaha I freaken love watching Ellen.
Her and JB are like bff's; it's cute.

Anyway, this boy is officially 18.
The only reason I know that?
Twitter.
But I still want to say Happy Birthday!

This boy is incredible.
His story is so sweet,
and I always tear up in his movie.
He truly has a caring heart for
his audience and definitely shows it.
It's pretty real, and human.
People can laugh and think he's
ridiculous, and think how lame
my crush on him is, but I don't care :)

My love for JB can conquer anything.....
HAHAHAHAHA ;)

Anyway,
Happy Birthday JB :)
Can't wait for your newest single
coming out March 26th!!!
Eeeeeek!

I'll just share a few of my favorite songs by him:

Evan's 1st Birthday Party

I can't believe this little man will be 1 tomorrow.
He's such a stinkin' cutie and I've loved watching him
grow up. Remember this, and this?
That happened exactly 1 year ago today.
I cannot believe how fast time flew.
This little boy is so snuggly.
He loves to talk loud.
He loves to fake sneeze.
He loves to carry things.
He loves to walk.
He loves to throw food/things.
He loves to laugh/smile.
He still cherish's his naps,
eating and drinking.

I'm so grateful to have seen him grow up this past year.
I love this little boy more than I ever thought I was going to.
It's incredible what the love of a child can do for you.
Even though he's just my nephew, I love him very much.
I'm kind of sad to see him growing up so fast, but
I'm very excited for my sisters baby, and to
experience that all over again!

Evan's birthday was so much fun.
He had a ton of people there to support him.
Friends & Family :)
He got lots of fun toys,
and big boy clothes.
He smashed his first cake,
and almost threw it all over the ground.
He is such a joy in everyone's lives :)

I hope you had fun today Evan..
Happy Birthday baby :)

My 47th Letter


Today was a good mail day.
47th Letter, Ensign & Letter from Quinn :)

"Thanks for the V-day package babe! Your bags of candy broke open in the box so there was candy everywhere. That's okay though! :*"

"A mission is great!"

"Why is "Ohio" referred to as "THE Ohio in D&C?"

"Love you lots!"


So I've pretty much been having a real hard time without him lately. I just miss him a lot and I want him to come home already. 1 week from today and he'll have 9 months left. This month has dragged on just like month 2 did... it's weird.. February must have a curse of something... either that or it's dragging because of the extra day. Whatever February's problem is, I hope it gets over it fast. Hahaha, I'm really excited though and extremely nervous. I'm starting to freak-out and have nightmares now... It creeps up on other people but for me I feel like it just continues to drraaaaggggg. Barf. Anyway, I love him still and am so excited for time to keep moving :)

The Vow

My family had a girls night tonight.
Remember this?
Well, we did it again and went and saw The Vow.





It's based off a true story (see book above). It's an incredible story, and there were so many times during the movie that I just wanted to bawl, and stand up and yell at Paige (Rachel McAdams) but I just couldn't. It's such a cute story and if you haven't seen it yet, you ought to get out and see it! :) I have NO problem seeing it over and over again. It truly made me appreciate Brady and my love for him. It truly made me realize how grateful I am for my memory, and for the life I was given, and my family and the support they give me. I love this movie and I cannot wait until it comes out :) After we went to Village Inn and had food/pie and just gabbed the night away! Can't wait to get together again!
 
Enjoy some quotes from the fabulous movie!

I vow to live within the warmth of your heart.
-Paige

I hope one day I can love the way you love me.
-Paige

Coming home to a life I don't know, that's a lot to take in.
-Paige

I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.
-Paige


I don't know you, I barely even know who I am.
-Paige

I need to make my wife fall in love with me again.
-Leo

I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love.
-Leo


I vow to love you, and no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find a way back to each other.
-Leo


How do you look at the girl you love and tell yourself its time to walk away?
-Leo


Everything that I fell in love with is still there.
-Leo

I'll always love you. The fact is, you're just meeting me and I'm just a stranger.
-Leo

Life's all about moments of impact, and how they change our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?
-Leo


I chose to stay with him for all the things he's done right;
not the one thing he's done wrong. I chose to forgive him.
-Rita Thornton


Leo: You know who I am right?
Paige: Yeah, your my doctor.
-Leo, Paige

My 46th Letter


This letter came a few days after Valentine's Day.

He is so sweet and just knows what to say.
Always.

"Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Will you be my Valentine? I really hope you'll say yes!"
"I just took a break to cook some food... yum! I had gnocchi with a chicken & mushroom sauce... Can you believe I would eat that, let alone make it for myself? It was really good though."
"Babe, I'm doing really well. I'm really liking my new companion, Babe. He's really funny. I'm excited to be working with him!"

"Happy Valentine's Day Babe!"

Lady Antebellum

Oh. My. Goodness.

Their concert was amazing. Incredible. Mind-blowing. Words can't describe how amazing their concert was. I totally love LadyA... they've helped me through so much and their music is so powerful. They're AMAZING live... Thompson Square and Darius Rucker came with them, and they were amazing as well! :) The girls and I ate pizza before we bought our t-shirts and keychain (Taelor and I always have matching ones). We headed to our seats which were a lot closer than I expected, and directly in front of the stage!!! It was perfect :) Felt good being there, the last time I was in there was for Taylor Swift! So the party started and we went crazy (at least I did) and we were laughing, singing, taking pictures, recording videos and just enjoying the night like taking funny pictures of the people behind us!! It was such an incredible night :) I'm so grateful for Lady Antebellum and all they've done for me with their music! Music truly is a powerful thing..
