Baby? Nope..

 I love this little man :) Every single Monday is such an adventure with him! He's getting so big, and quick! I don't like it one bit! He totally knows he is cute so he's always smiling and laughing and being silly :) He's really ticklish so I love that I get to tickle him and hear him laugh! He is such a busy body and is ALWAYS moving, whether it's walking around or picking things up, or getting up on or down off the couch, or watching movies, or reading the same book a billion times, or taking a drink of water, or wanting a cracker, or getting into the pantry, or opening the garbage, and walking by the stairs with a smile on his face because he knows he's not supposed to! Lol I miss this little guy a lot, and I'm very happy when Monday rolls around :)

Mormon Drinks

Abby and I decided we were going to have a movie night with a friend from Institute; his name is Kade :) He is such a sweetheart and has become such a great friend of mine and Abby's! Anyway, we wanted something fun to drink so we made Pina Colada's! :) It was awesome! We also ate Goldfish crackers and Cadbury Mini-eggs!! They're sent from Heaven :) Basically the only reason I love Easter (other than General Conference and the Resurrection of Christ!) So we watched a little bit of Baby Mama, then we watched Twilight: Eclipse! Hahahaha Kade is a HUGE fan! Then we watched a little of TV and then decided we were tired and that it was time to head home! :) It was such a fun evening and I loved spending it with my beh friend :)

Not For Me

This is another post about my sweetheart, surprised? ;)
I'm not. Sometimes I just get all these thoughts in my head, and things that I'm thinking and I don't want to keep them in my head, so I either journal/blog and I don't really like writing anymore.. my brain works faster than my hands write, and my hands work almost as fast as my brain. (Did you need to know that? Prolly not. Oh well.)

Back in the day, not so far back, in Junior High and High School for the first couple years, I was always addicted to the heartbreak songs. I was constantly liking boys, vice versa and then having things end. I'd be sad, cry and listen to heartbreak songs, and just think, "Oh I relate!" or "Oh my gosh..... this is my theme song!!" Or I'd find songs for my friends, vice versa... I was totally addicted to "dreaming" of finding the one. I was addicted to the thought that all these heartbroken songs were me, and that I could never find enough to explain my story the very best. I believed that's how life was regardless of growing up.. I didn't have that much faith in "love" and maybe that's because I was young and wasn't allowed to date. Whatever it is, it all changed my junior year.

I met a boy who I thought I loved, and it was a different feeling than the Junior High crushes.. But the heartbreak songs were still for me, and sometimes I wished the boys would just listen to them, because they said words I couldn't speak. The next boy was senior year, and that's when I really knew what love was. It was hard when that was taken away, and while dating him I found a love for "happy/love" songs, and got addicted to both. It wasn't until I met Brady that I finally just.knew. I just did; and I'm sure most people who are married or in love know what I'm talking about. It's so hard to explain, you just know when you know. Brady has made me more happy than anyone or anything I could ever imagine. I never knew this kind of happiness/joy existed.. It's the best feeling in the world. He quickly became my best friend, and it wasn't too long before I wanted to say "I love you" so badly... I cherished Brady and everything he was, has been and going to be.

I began to believe in those love songs. Those fairy tale's. Those "wedding" songs. I had playlists and lyrics and quotes all set up all over Facebook and this blog. I was always asking him to listen to a cute song here and there, and he'd do the same. I've never loved someone so much in my entire life. To have someone create a new addiction for me; a happy one. An addiction that I could believe in, and that was the knowledge that there was love out there for me... That I wasn't going to be heartbroken forever. I was going to be happy, with the one I love, forever. I knew Heavenly Father blessed me with Brady and it's amazing to see how strongly our love for each other has grown in just 15 months.. I can't believe I get to see my sweetheart in just a little over 8 months. So to my conclusion, that stuff just isn't for me anymore. I'm happy. I'm in love. and I will always be. I'm so grateful for Brady and all that he has done for me. Loving him has been such a blessing. I've learned to appreciate him in ways I didn't think existed. The small things really do mean just as much as the big things. I almost just can't explain my feelings right now other than the position I'm in right now, loving someone so much, so far away, is so incredible. I know this wait will be worth it, because so far, it has been. I've been so blessed to have gone through this, and have stuck it out with someone who wants me just as much as I want him.. :)

Power Outage

Power was out at work today for a few hours.
So we all just hung out,
and did nothing.

My 49th Letter


I just love Brady.
I wish time would move faster :)
I'm getting too excited to see him again.
These two years really have gone fast,
just not fast enough!

"Tracy said that she looked on my Facebook account, and she thought it was really cute how you always call me, "Babe." They're a great family!"

"Keep the faith!"

Ugh.
I just love him.

My Sunday Stroll

Sunshine.
Temples.
Sundays.
Christ.
Happiness.
Heavenly Father.
the Holy Ghost.
Church.
my favorite things ♥


Sometimes I like to go on walks around the Temples. I'm so grateful, and extremely lucky to live close to so many Temples. So many, beautiful, peaceful, and amazing House's of the Lord. They bless my life so much, and I pray everyday that I can remain worthy enough to always enter His House.

Today was a bit of a struggle, and I was feeling down because I didn't have that great of an experience at Church. I have a lot on my mind about my life, where it's going, what I'm doing, what my heart wants verses my brain. Who are my true friends, which school to go to, etc. So I turned to my stress-reliever when I can't stop this thinking problem. And that is, to take a walk around the Temple and let the Spirit and simple, and peaceful feeling sink in. It seriously changes my mood every single time I go. I love that I can turn to the Temple whenever needed. I love that it's always there for me.
 When I was leaving, I saw another girl walk up to the gates of the Temple.
She just lifted her chin and stared at the Temple. That's what I do.
I was so happy to see I'm not the only one who can just drive to the Temple and take in it's beauty whenever needed. She bowed her head (I feel awful for kind of staring) and you could tell she was saying a silent prayer. And then she just stood there at the gates, still in Sunday dress, just looking at the beauty we've been blessed with.

I'm extremely grateful for the knowledge of the Temple. I'm so grateful I'm a member of this wonderful Church. I'm so grateful that my parents made the decision to be sealed for time and all eternity, to keep us together forever. They still keep their promises and I see it in all that they do.

I cannot wait for that day, that I get to marry my sweetheart in the Lord's Holy House.
I cannot wait to kneel across the altar and make eternal covenants I couldn't dream of making. I know it'll make me happy, and I can't wait to raise my family in this gospel. I have so many amazing examples (some I blog-stalk even!) in my life, that show me the true meaning of forever families.

I love my Heavenly Father.
I love my beautiful life :)
