Nine Years

This week Christopher and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary. 9 years is a long time but it really flew by. This coming February we have been with each other for TEN YEARS! Now that is a long time! Words cannot even express how much I love Chris. I am terrible with words, (if you read my blog you obviously know that I can't write) I have loved these past 9 years. I remember when we were dating and how new, exciting and fun it was. I remember our first date and how weird it was because he was actually a gentleman and I had never been treated like that before. He would buy me flowers all the time, and open my door. He still does  that. About once a month he buys me flowers, just because. He is so kind, so sweet and hilarious. He frustrates me with all the teasing and tormenting, but I would be sad if I didn't have it. He takes the best care of me! I'm an expensive lady and all my needs are met. He pushes me to become better. He encouraged me to go to school. He believes in me and wants to help me when ever I need the help. He doesn't get mad when I am in trouble. Like the one time in the middle of the night I got my car stuck in a rock pit and I called him crying because I was so scared he would be mad at me, but he wasn't. He came to the rescue and got me unstuck, without getting upset about it one bit. . He tries his best to make me happy when I am sad, and comforts me when I am scared. He makes me laugh till I almost pee my pants, and he throws me around like a rag doll until I get mad. He thinks I am beautiful even if I look like a beast in the mornings. He loved me when I gained weight, lost it, and gained it again. This year has been especially hard for us. Chris lost his job, I had to go to Rhode Island unexpectedly, my grandpa died, fertility stuff went down the drain and some other personal situations happened that I will not mention. These last 6 months have been so hard with Chris out of work. But I would not change any of it. We have had each other through it all. We are still happy even when times suck. I know that he will be the best kind caring funny dad when we have kids. And I cannot wait for us to become parents. It hurts me that we can't have kids yet. We have had 9 years to get to know each other unlike newly weds who get pregnant right away. We have experiences and a certain relationship because it has just been the two of us the last 9 years.I should be nicer to him but I am grouchy and sassy all the time. Props to the man who can deal with a woman like me for 9 years. Bring on many more years of my crazy!

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts.  Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

I like older men.

This weekend was Christopher's birthday!! My main man is 33 now, I'm still holding on to my mid twenties like my life is depending on it.  We went for a short get a way to the big city, Salt Lake City. Left the dogs with the grand parents and off we went. After I doused myself in essential oils I was calm enough to sit as a passenger in the car. I think I made my self too sick with anxiety and worry. Tears were shed for no reason in the middle of a resturant and hanging over the toilet Happened. It's either my anxiety or these fertility drugs I was taking. But I have my big girl panties on and can handle this!  The first thing we did was hit up Cripsy Cream. It's like heaven in your mouth. Lunch was at Roadizo Grill. We took our selves shopping and back to the hotel for rest.  The next morning we found a random Ward to attend to take the sacrament, stopped to take a look at the Brigham City Temple, and got back on the road. Like I said, this was a super fast trip.  When
