A little update you ask....

Well everyday that passes is one day closer to graduation for both David and I. Granted that gradutation date is still a long ways out there...like two years or so but it gets closer everyday.

I got a new calling at church...I thought I had flown under the radar long enough that they had forgotten to give me a calling...but as it turns out I was wrong....but I am the new 4th Sunday relief society teacher.

David talked me into bringing his bowflex down here....and what a pain that it was, but all the pain and effort was worth it!

I just finished putting all my wedding photos away in their proper places in my wedding book! Yahoo!! Two years later.....About time right?

Life is going great! We are very blessed, and continue to be blessed everyday!

What kind of games did we play on our anniversary you might ask?

Well ones that might involve this......Or this......and definatly this.....

And perhaphs.....even these.....
WELL....if you haven't guessed yet....David and I bought a wii!

I am sure glad that we did!

We love it!

What did we do for our anniversary you ask?

Well let me tell you....We woke up Saturday morning and drove to the Salt Lake Temple to do some sealings...it only seemed fitting to go back to the place where it all began. Although on the way down there I went to take a picutre but realized very quickly that I had accidently left my camra chip at home...so we quickly wen't to best buy to buy a cheap one...and barely made it on time to our sealing session. My mom and dad and brother Kirk and his sweet wife Debbie joined us. It was so fun, and (for lack of a better word)an awesome expirence. Getting to sit next to David in a sealing room holding his hand, brought back so many memories, of our wedding day, and everything else that had brought us to where we are today. After we were done with sealings we went to chuck-a-rama for lunch (Thanks Dad!) but not of course until we got a few pictures infront of the temple.

On our way home...on a spure of the moment thing, David suggested going to the Living Aquarium in Sandy...I have been wanting to go there for a very long time. It was so cool. Seeing all the different fishes and we got to touch a sting ray, star fish, and some other scary looking things. I would suggest to anyone that has a chance to go.....Go! You won't regret it!

We spent the remainder of the night grocery shopping. You might say that is lame...but not to me...David doesn't get a chance to go with me shopping often, and I loved having him there! We got chinesee food for dinner and just played games with each other.

What a wonderful anniversary!

Two years and counting.....

Well this Sunday will be David and My two year anniversary. We will be celebrating it by going back to the place where everything began. We are going to the Salt Lake Temple to do sealings. I am so excited. I am amazed at how fast the time has gone by. We have had our ups and downs, and I am not going to lie our first year was hard....so hard in fact that at times I was ready to throw in the towel. Life was hard, but I did learn some very valuable lessons in life and had some experiences that have helped me become a better person. Life is wonderful now, I love being married. I love David. I didn't love the hard times we had, but I am grateful for them. We have become so much closer as a couple, and I know that no matter what comes our way we will be able to handle it TOGETHER. If someone were to ask me for some marriage advice I would tell them
1. Communication is crucial...
2. Couple prayer and scripture study is so important...do it every day!
3. Personal prayer and scripture study
4. Spend time with each other so you can remember why you got married in the first place.
5. The little things in life, like a hug or a kiss or a little note go along way and they mean a lot
6. Put your spouse first....in everything...and life will be better than you can imagine.

I got more but I will leave it at that....I am grateful for all of my very many blessings, especially David and these past two years that I have been able to spend with him.

crazy people.....make for good stories...

Well for Christmas I received some money. I decided that I wanted to go by my self a new Sunday outfit. Well of course I went to my favorite store Kims Fashion in Clearfield, where i was depressed to find that the skirt I wanted was all out in my size, so I went to Kholes where I also came up empty handed, so I decided to try my luck and went through every single store in the Layton mall. Where I found nothing of interest to me. I almost gave up but decided to try the Ogden mall. Where I found the perfect skirt. As David and I were standing in the check out like line (with the standard space between strangers) this lady with her husband walks up. Her husband walks behind us to the end of the line, while his wife decides that she wanted to stand in front of us.(she was also talking to herself) David and I both looked at each other but didn't say anything, but her husband behind us said to her "uh hon the end of the line is back here" she tureds around to David and I and puts her finger up to her mouth and goes "shhhhhhhh" and then turns back around. Her husband then grabs her arm and brings her back to the end of the line and while he is dragging her back she says "like I couldn't see you standing there.....I just wanted to stand in front of you" we just kinda smiled and ignored her and waited for the girl in front of us to finish. Just as the girl finished, David got a call on his phone and he walked away. So I went up and put my skirt down on the counter and the crazy lady, with all her stuff came and stood right next to me and put her stuff down also....I am thinking "man what happened to my personal space...she is really close to me" and if you think I am probably just exaggerating...she was so close that the clerk asked if were were together.....and honestly it kinda threw me off guard and I stood there and looked at her like an idiot for a little while until it clicked what she was talking about and just as I answered "no" the crazy lady answered "yes...we are lesbionic" then she precedes to explain what lesbionic is. and apparently it is her new made up word that it is the mix between lesbian and something else (I was in shock so I didn't really hear what it was a mix with, but I quickly came out to answer that we weren't together and we weren't lesbionic) but then she went on to explain that she really isn't that way because lesbionic people come from San Fransisco and she has never been there. I couldn't believe it! She was crazy, and her husband just stood there and listened. Needless to say I got out of there quick, but not without having a good laugh with David as we were leaving!

Update on us.....

Well I know it has been a few weeks since my last post so let me inform you of a little bit that has happened most recently.....

1. Christmas and New Years went GREAT!! We spent most of the time with Davids family, but we were definatly spoiled from both sides of our families for Christmas and it was so fun to be able to get to spend so much time with everyone. I espically loved visiting, playing games with all of Davids extended family. (but I think next new years eve I am going to handcuff David to me so he can kiss me as soon as the ball drops!!....he got a little side tracked trying to get pots and pans to bang together!!:D

Christmas Morning

We slept over at Davids partents house with his sister

Varci, Polly and her husband Jordan, their little girl Kaylee, and Jerry

Christmas evening....

Thanks to everyone for everything...we were very blessed this Chrismas...one of the presents even brought me to tears (Thanks Jenny and fam!)

2. David's Aunt Lori and Uncle Scott took us out to dinner and a movie (I loved spending time with them, they are such a fun couple, and Sherlock Holmes was GREAT!!!)

3. School started back up (ehhhh!!) I tell you what...it is good that I don't have children...because I don't think you could ever make me go back if I didn't have to! But I guess I will appreciate the opportunity to go back now!:D but since classes have started both David and I have had major problems with scheduling. The class is to full, or it isn't offered at the right time, or the teacher is horrible....it has just been a nightmare for both of us to try and figure out our schedules....but I think we have finally got our schedules just right, and it is going to be a wonderful semmester for both of us (I am sure!)

4. I got a new calling...I am the 4th sunday relief society teacher. Yes that is the ensign, I am excited, but very nervous! I have wait some people might call high water tables...which means you say the word "cry" and I will cry! It is that bad, so I guess I am not so nervous for teaching as I am for crying while I am teaching....but wish me luck....

5. and probably the most exciting.....Sunday David and I will celebrate our two year anniversary! More postings on that latter!

But as for right now....life is good! It has its challenges, but what would we be able to laugh about tomorrow if we didn't make mistakes today?
