Best Birthday!

I had a great birthday thanks to my hubby :) I love surprises and notes and little things...but Bj hates doing them and he completely shocked me for my birthday. I had to work the day of my birthday so I woke up early and walked into the living room, I thought lil Jennie had torn something up all over he carpet.. but instead it was my favorite dove chocolate in the shape of a heart with lifesavers around and flowers with a card... awww what a sweet hubby! I was mad the night before because he stayed up after I went to bed and that was why :) Then he drove up to rexburg to meet me for my lunch break and took me out and when I got home that night he even cleaned up the house he is so thoughtful! The next day we went to vickers and picked me out a new pair of boots and he decided to get him a real cowboy hat. It turned out to be a great birthday, I am so grateful to have him as my husband and that does so much for me... especially little things and surprises that mean the most! I love you!

So cute!

A little blurry... but Bj's new hat and my boots

 

We also got to spend the following weekend with my family, we went to West Yellowstone to the Playmill, it was a lot of fun and great to spend together. My mom spoiled us by having dinner for me and Chels, my sister, since both of our birthdays are close together! Thank you to all my family for a great birthday I love you all!

West Yellowstone.. I got my new boots on ;)

Chels & I with our b-day cake!

Jennie

We got lil Jennie in June after we looked a few months for a yellow lab puppy. I kept telling Bj I wanted a puppy so I wasn't always home alone.. but after the last two dogs getting hit we didn't want it to be strike three. We picked her because she was the only one sitting quietly out of all the other puppies... but now that she is home she isn't so quiet all the time ;) She is a pretty good pup, but is still learning. She loves ice cubes and now waits by the fridge for us to drop one. She steals our shoes and unwinds all the toilet paper... then eats it. We cant yell at her too much.. at least I cant because she is so cute! We love you Jennie:)

She took over Bj's chair ;)

Our Wedding Day! May 7, 2011

Everyone tells you how your wedding day is the best day of your life... its crazy to think one day could be so great, but it is completely true! Our wedding day was perfect, we had a wonderful family friend as our sealer and he did an amazing job! The entire day was just for us two and I couldn't have been happier! We are so grateful for family and friends that helped and shared that day with us! I love Bj so much and I am so grateful to have him as my husband for eternity!

Finally married!

We had to have boots

I LOVE my dress!

How it all began...

To tell a little about us... we met in high school, I was a sophmore and he was a freshman and we dated all through high school. We both started college and continued working and dating after high school. We talked about marriage often, but started talking more serious about it and then it happened so fast. Of course I was soooo impatient... we hadn't said anything to family but once we did I started making plans before I had my ring or an official proposal. I pestered him all the time :) Then one night, January 14, 2011  after I went to a bridal fair with my mom, I told her I hated going to those because everyone looked at my finger and I didnt have a ring!!! Bj and I went to dinner that night and he was being so sweet and nice, letting me choose where to eat, I wondered why he was going overboard on buttering me up, but I figured he would make me wait and wait for my ring because I was so impatient. A few years back we carved our initals in a tree at the park we always hung out at in high school, we hadnt been there in a long time so he suggested we go there, I was like its winter and dark, but of course we went. The tree was at the begging, but he made us go the entire way around the park, while I was complaing about being cold! Finally we got to the tree and he made me walk through the snow and pointed up... there was a wood sign that had "will you marry me?" carved in it and he was on his knee! He claims I didnt say yes I just stared at him... haha but it was a YES! I love him and I am so glad I got my ring.. and to marry my best friend! I love you Jadon!
