"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Here's to 9 Years....




We made it to our 9 year anniversary!!!! I had plans this year to take nick to park city and make a 3 day vaca out of it and just have some time together doing fun things we havent done together yet..BUT thanks to our little surprise baby, the things i was taking him to do i couldnt with being pregnant, the big zip lines for one :(
so we did the usual and went to dinner and movie!
Next year for our 10 year we both agreed we are headed off to some really cool tropical place that we love HAWAII. we are starting our locked down saving acct for it so there will be no IF AND OR BUTTS about it!!!

Each year we go through A LOT of ups and downs and but at the end of each argument or disagreement..i just cant make my self ever stay mad at him. I KNOW he was put here for ME. He is the only one that can put up with me anyways :) He literally changed my life. He stood by me through so much and still does, not because i ask him too but because he wants to. I could never see my life without him, he is my FOREVER, im one of the lucky ones who was so lucky to find her best friend.
I have soooo many faults but he loves me anyways, and the same for him. We promised each other A FOREVER and we will be keeping that promise!

I have been with him since i was 14 years old, to most that seems way to young and a lot say we should have dated around to make sure, but we both were sure. I love everything about him even the bad (maybe not at the time of the bad moments hahahah)
I can spend everyday with him and only him and my kids for the rest of my life and be the happiest girl in the world, thats how i know we are meant to be!

The past 9 years we have shared our life with each other our good and bad, He and I have seen the best and worse in each other and i would do it all over again just to be with him!
We have two great boys and a new baby on the way (hopefully some pink this time:)but if not we make some pretty cute and awesome boys so we would be happy with that too.. life is just good and i wouldnt change much of it!!

HAPPY 9 YEARS BABE. I LOVE YOU FOREVER!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
