CHARLIE

so me and brent have been doing alot of talking the past couple months about getting a dog. about two weeks ago brent surprised me and go a cute little shih tzu from the pound. the first couple nights were hard and i told brent to take the dog back i was over the dog thing but then me and charlie started to bond. he is the best dog ever. he never barks, is potty trained and best of all loves me to death! me and charlie have great fun together weather it be going on a walk or playing with his squeaky toy. all of this hard work has made me realize i want a little boy to spoil to death and one brent can pass his "ladies man" skills onto. i know you all must be thinking we have only been married a year but i cant wait to have little brents running around. i know that we have some challenges up ahead with trying to get pregnant and the whole deal but hopefully it wont be to much of a heart ache and if so we will just adopt cute little babies. so those are my thoughts as of today. i will add some pics of charlie once i up load them to the computer. and please keep me and brent in your prayers that someday we will be able to have kids!

ONE YEAR!

So Saturday March 7 was me and Brent's one year wedding anniversary. We went to this cute little bed and breakfast in Pine. We had alot of fun just being together and being lazy. I wanted to do something special for Brent but did not want to spend a lot of money. So I decided that I would propose to him. I managed to get his ring away from him and then as he was lying in bed I walked over to him and asked him if he would be mine forever. I won’t lie I got teary eyed. He said yes and then he laughed at me. He said he did not expect me to do that.

We also thought it would be cute to go and do sealing on our anniversary. Well the temple was packed so we just went to a session. It was an awesome experience to be in the temple with him. I started thinking about that day and I cried in the temple.

So....many of you may not know this but getting married was terrifying for me. I was cool and calm the entire time we were engaged and was not worried much about my hair, dress or anything like that. Some may say I was opposite of bridezilla. So the day of the wedding I woke up and thought to myself "what the heck are you doing" well I brushed it off and started getting ready. Around 12 Brent came and picked me up to go to the temple. We signed all the paper work and then went our separate ways. I was in the bride’s room with my mom and I remember looking at myself then my mom and I lost it. I was crying snot dripping down my face big black eyes and begging my mom to not make me do it. I did not want to get married. My mom and all the temple workers in the bride’s room were a little confused. They were wiping my tears and asking me why i thought that. I told them I did not want to leave my mom all alone (my mom is divorced and I am the BIGGEST mamas girl) my mom laughed and said "well if you don’t want to I will go tell Brent and we can go home, but think if you would be happy without him." well I knew then that I wanted to get married. I went and met Brent and he could see that I had been crying. He asked "this is just one of those things that’s going to happen huh?" I said yes and we just sat there holding hands. I wish I could have known on that day that everything would be ok and it’s nothing to be scared of.

Now I have the best husband EVER. He is always there for me and I can’t imagine life or eternity for that matter without him. He is my better half and I love him!

and MORE!!!

ok so i feel bad that i did not mention ALL of my friends...Like Megan and Jessica. i went to Evit with them when i was first starting beauty school. and then i have Jen and Kelsie who i have not known that long but still they are my friends....And if i forgot anyone i am SO sorry. i tend to be a space case so ya forgive me. But on a different subject i have been hearing alot of gossip that Jessica Simpson is fat and blah blah blah. Well i think that is suck crap. everyone said it about Tyra and now about Jessica. I say more power to them. i think that it is so gay that if you are not a size 0 then you are not "HOT". Well i think Jessica and Tyra are still drop dead gorgeous even if they are what some may call"Fat". i think there are alot of skinny girls out there you are cocky and i think that makes you unattractive. So ya that is my little thought of the week....dont know why i just told all of you this but thats how i feel.

What's New?!

So what is new? Well me and Brent have almost been married 1year. How crazy is that? It does not seem that long. We made it....YAY! We also moved out to QUEEN CREEK. Yes i know what you all must be thinking but it is only like a 35min drive into to Mesa, and we like being out on our own but yet close enough to go home for Sunday dinners. Brent is doing good with his school (construction is his major) and i am loving work and school. I jsut found out this week that i shoule be done by August at the latest, then i hope to work at a salon...It would be awesome if i could work at Avante with one of my oldest friends Amber. Did you know we have know each other since third grade. How crazy is that? And then i have Brit, Brooke and Sash and we have been friends since junior high. Man how the time flys by. We all get together and we still act like we are back in ninth grade at times.haha. Well i dont know what else to say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

So the month of January is a special one. Both me and Brent were both born in January. We decided to have a big party. We invited all of our friends and family over to our new home for pizza cake and the Cards game. It was so much fun. We went through 13pizzas and over 48 cans of soda. Oh ya and a Costco cake. What can I say we hang out with people who know how to eat! Being married is so much fun. I was thinking back on our first month married and how i would cry when i had to go to work because i would miss Brent. Well....not to much has changed. I leave around 9am and get back home around 10:30pm. We never see each other so the time we do spend together means alot. Just 7more months then i will be done with cosmotology school and we will have more "together time"

Ok so going to Cosmotology school has made me realize that i am so out of touch with style. I have had the same hair since i was 14 and i even have clothes i wore back in high school. My resolution is to get in touch with current trends. Now i am not saying i am going to become all "worldy" but just not look the same everyday. So....I cut my hair. i had my friend Amber do it. She did an awesome job. Brent said quote "Wow Amber did a great job i like it" So i will keep you all posted on my goal!
