I AM FREE!!.....Well almost.

So next week will end my SIX years of beauty school! I know I know that is a LONG time. I started the summer going into my junior year at EVIT and then I got in a bad car accident and dropped out. Just this past December I decided to go back and finish! It was hard to try and remember everything but i am glad I did it. I realized I LOVE making people feel beautiful. I am not what you would call a girly girl but i do love girly stuff. This has been a long journey for me and am grateful for all of my support. My mom for always pushing me to go back and finish, my family for encouraging me and MOST of all my BRENTY. He has been there for me every step of the way and motivating me:) So thank you to everyone who has helped me and made this possible.... Now I just need to find a job!!

BLESSING

ok so brent got an internship building the light rail in phoenix. we were so excited because we did not have to move away and we got to be together. well recently the city of phoenix put a stop to the building of the light rail and we were scared brent was going to lose his internship. (he needs this to graduate) so after a lot of stressing out and wondering what was going to happen the company he is working for said they could use him down in tucson and he would be there monday through friday. well this was a HUGE relief that he would still be able to work but then it hit me, brent would be gone all week and i would be alone and bored. i hate sleeping and being alone. i hear a little noise and freak out and cant sleep or move. well the first night was hard but then i realized i have charlie. so i just snuggle with him and when i get scared i talk to him. i know you all must be thinking he is a dog but to me his is a BLESSING because it makes it easier to have brent away and helps me to stay sane. i am so grateful that i have charlie but most of all that i have a husband who works so hard at everything he does. i am the luckiest girl!

CHARLIE

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!
