To the Man Who Loves Me....

 Can I just say how grateful I am to have you? Seriously, I do not deserve you. You love me unconditionally perfect! You love me despite what I've done to you. You love all of my imperfections; including my sadness! You think I'm pretty and perfect, when it's hard for me to look past my scars most days. You let me tease you, kiss you, hug you and whine... you laugh even when I am trying to be mad at you. You are perfect Brady. I have never met someone so perfect. You are selfless, and so caring. You are patient with me. So very, very patient. You love me. Always. You just simply love me. You have never looked at me with disappointment. You have never raised your voice at me. You have never laid a hand on me. You have never been negative towards me, or angry ever. I don't think you even have it in you. Your heart is so pure. So righteous. So full of love, and sacrifice. You are always willing to give. You are always willing to comfort. You are always putting me first. You are obedient and trust is a big deal to you. You are honest always. You are just perfect. And you're mine. Forever.

"You could've bowed out gracefully, but you didn't.

You knew enough to know to leave well enough alone, but you wouldn't.

I drive myself crazy trying to stay out of my own way.

The messes that I make, but my secrets are so safe.

The only one who gets me, yeah you get me.

It's amazing to me,

How everyday,

everyday,

everyday you save my life."

You are everything to me. You make me smile. You make me laugh. You make me fall in love with you over and over again. I never knew there could be this much love for just one person. That my Father in Heaven has blessed me with the privilege of loving someone like you. You are my world. My greatest blessing. I cherish you above anything else. I would do anything and everything for you. I know this time apart has been one of the hardest things we've both ever done, but it's been more worth it than not. It has taught us so much about each other. It has tested our relationship, with the result of us coming out stronger. It has test our faith, and strengthened our testimonies. It has opened our eyes to things in the future. It has taught us that God will always come first. I know I will never find another you. There will never be another you. You are it.

I love you so much!!

Going Away

My sweetie pie friend Ashley (blondie) is moving back to California so we had a get together with a few friends and it was a lot of fun. LOTS of laughter and stories told. Hahahaha I finally got to meet Nina! Hahahaha 16 months in the making, it was fun! We ate junk food and just talked about life (boys) and then we all parted our ways... I love my cute mg friends. They'll always be my mg friends no matter where our lives have taken us, whether we're "mg's" or not... they have supported me and gotten me through some of the toughest times, and they are straight-up some of the strongest women I know. I'm so grateful for all of them! Good luck in Cali Ash! Until we meet again...

Ultimate Aunt Part 2

I'm seriously the coolest aunt around. Seriously. I'm surprised my sister isn't sick of seeing me. Hahahaha anyway, I hungout with her and baby and Mitch today! SO fun!! He was awake like the whole time!!! He's just so cute and just stares. He liked looking at my hair, making a lot of silly faces, and then laying on his back watching TV. Hahaha it was so fun :)

It was just ultimate aunt weekend. Partied with Evan Friday night, and played with Sawyer all day today. I'm so spoiled and blessed to be these boys' aunt!! They're such a great blessing and I love them both so very much :)

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Pa! :) Thanks for all that you do. You are amazing and special to me. You're so funny and I'm so glad we've got so much in common. Thanks for always going on walks with me and/or running! It's nice to have a workout buddy! I'm proud of you too! I'm so grateful for all that you do for this family! I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for you and all that you taught me. Thanks! I love you so much!!

Ultimate Aunt Part 1

Me and this cute guy hungout again :)

In fact, he slept over!! :O

It was fun. We played.

Watched tv. Ate snacks.

Red bedtime stories.

And then we went to sleep :)

Poor little fella fell out of his chair.

But he soon recovered by taking a trip outside.

I love this little guy.

So much.

My 63rd Letter

"One of your letters did get lost! It got sent to the wrong house! Then one day my companion and I were walking down the street, and we turned onto a different street, and a lady was coming out of her house. She asked if both of us were called "Elder," and then she went to get a letter for us out of her house. When she came back out with it, I could tell it was from my Babe cuz of the stickers on it... I'm so glad I got it!"

"You just need to promise me one thing though... I need you to always believe me when I tell you that everything's going to be alright."

"I can't believe it's almost over! Wherever I get moved next, that will probably be my last area! It's so crazy!"

"I can't wait to go to Deseret Book and buy lots of books to study!"

I'm just going to keep saying that I love him, cause I do! He's so sweet, and I'm so glad he got that letter. First time in 19 months that one of my letter's has gotten lost. He actually never got one of my Christmas packages, but it's okay.. Anyway, I'm just really glad, it was an important letter and I'm so comforted knowing he got it. He's so caring and loving and kind, and takes really good care of me, even from so far away! I honestly can't believe how soon he comes home. I'm SO dang excited!! I'm so close. He's so close. We're so close. Eek! :) Everyone prolly gets so tired of seeing me post my countdowns, or blog about it/Brady... But I don't care... if your loved one was gone for 2 years... you'd be excited too! ;)

Anyway, I love Brady! We're so close babe... 20 weeks left :*

Crafting

So my sisters, sil, and mother have this "tradition" going. I don't know if that's what you would call it, but I'm going to anyway. We like to craft as much as we can. We try to do one for each holiday, or season. It's always so much fun!! This year we decided to head to Linsey's to be with her on her birthday and see baby and Mitch and craft, and just hangout. We also brought little Evan along! It was so fun! We had pizza, watched tv, crafted, held the cutest baby ever... and then we came home! I made a craft that has been sitting in my room for over a year now... WOOHOO! :)
