Things Lately...

I can honestly say that being married is the biggest blessing in my life! I love Chad and appreciate all that he does for me! Working full time & school full time- & he exceeds all expectations in my opinion! I love my husband! I have been very stressed lately about finding a place to move out! I totally appreciate my parents letting us live with them until we get on our feet- however, I just feel like we need our own space- and money is tight! So keep us in your prayers that we will be able to get out of the parents' house soon and be out and on our own! The other good news is that I am going to get into the PTA program at provo college this fall and graduate in 18 months! I am so excited! We have been praying about it and feel like thats the best thing for me to do! Chad will graduate in Construction MGMT in about 18 months, so we will be looking good after that!

Anyway- I just wanted to update y'all on whats been going on in our life lately!
HAPPY SUNDAY TO YOU ALL, GOD BLESS!

3 days

Today is a VERY busy day.
Sense Chads mom just got into town, things are finally getting done.
We have been waiting to do any of the decorations until she got here,
We haven't even got our marriage license yet... LOL
Ordered the BYU brownies yesterday- so thats good haha
& OF COURS PEDICURES & GETTING THE NAILS DONE TODAY! :)

I am starting to get butterflies constantly- but they are good butterflies... :)

I am sure all of you know this; but...
we are not able to get married in the temple, BUT
the plan is to wait 1 year for our anniversary and get sealed in the
HAWAII temple! I used to be really sad about this, but I am later touched with the calmness of
the thought of what a blessing it is that we have this goal to work towards,
I know with the lords hand in our lives, we will be able to achieve this goal
NO problem!
I love my heavenly father and the blessings that he has provided for me in my life,
also the trials. If all things were easily attained, there would be no motivation,
and no reason to push ourselves and try beyond the ordinary.
For this I am grateful for, and it has made me realize what a blessing it is, and how
excited we should be to work towards getting sealed in the temple for
TIME & ALL ETERNITY.
HAPPY DAY!!!

I was reading through "Stand a little taller" By President Gordon B. Hinckley today and found this wonderful scripture:

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine;
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
-Proverbs 17:22
"In all of living have much fun and laughter. Life is to be ENJOYED, not just endured.

ANYWAY,
I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY,
HAVE FUN IN ALL OF LIVES UPS AND DOWNS,
LOVE YOU ALL.
I AM BLESSED TO KNOW YOU ALL. <3


stay true to you!

4, 3, 2, 1... :)

Wedding stuffs

OMG, wow there is so much stuff to plan.
Firstly I would like to thank Chads mom Lisa for giving us her family members addresses so that we can get a rough-draft head count of people that need invites! (alot)
~We are offically planning on Alpine Art Center for our ceremony and reception site!
~I HAVE MY DRESS
~Our theme is for sure now. We are doing navy blue & champagne for our colors and having a vintage theme, we are incorporating peacock feathers, pearls and diamonds!
~I know the catering...( we are just going to buy lots of bags of candy and we will just put them in decorative vases with a scoop!)
~Our engagements are scheduled 2 days after we get back from California so that way we will hopefully be nice and tan! (May 11th)

Now if we could just figrure out:
*Cake..(I know I want a cupcake cake.. but finging somewhere to do it is a problem.)
*Flowers
*Bridesmades/First men attire

^^IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! WE ARE LOOKING FOR AS CHEAP AS WE CAN GET IT, BUT STILL NICE, CLASSY STUFF...

~The Proposal Story!~

Easter morning;

I was sent on a scavenger hunt for about 30 Easter Eggs around my kitchen. Inside each egg was either a piece of candy (or) a piece of candy with a love poem folded up neatly inside. I went around and picked up the eggs, opened them and set them on the counter- after I felt like I had picked them all up I yelled up to Chad (who was "hiding" in my room) & I told him I was done! I couldn't see any more eggs... he said, "You're not done- you'll know when your done.." So I kept on looking & looking. FINALLY with a few hints from Chad I found a small white box, inside the box was a cute love/ marriage quote from Chad, which then directed me up the stairs into my room where My love surrounded by beautiful red roses got down on one knee and popped the question!

OBVIOUSLY, I said YESSS!!!!

:)

Everyone mark your calendars for AUGUST 2ND 2010, lets make this thang official! <3>
