College life has brought such great qualities!

So, since we've been married....i have found things that i know how to do that i wouldn't have been able to if i didn't have awesome roommates. I learned cool things mostly when it comes to cooking however, those still count. Chicken 'n dumplings, meatballs, lava cake in the microwave, forts out of sheets. I am so grateful for the awesome roommates that i had and never will regret going to byui for at least that one reason. That is where i found my two BFFE. :)

Mothers

This is a late post to mothers day, but everyday can be mothers day right?

These are a few quotes that i found that really pertain to this post.

“Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.” 
― Marguerite Duras
hahahahah this totally reminds me of my mom. She is the strangest craziest person i've ever met...but most likely because we made her that way.
“As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.” 
― Kristin Hannah, Summer Island
My mom and I have had our ups and downs, but she has become my best friend and i'm so grateful for the relationship that we have. Growing up i remember every time my dad would give us back to school blessings, mine always blessed my mom and I's relationship because of that i know that is why we are such great friends. Lately as i have thought about her the words that stand out are charitable, and selflessness. She is such an example of Christ. I love her so much!

Old friends, new family!

     So over the last 5 years i have two new nieces, and one nephew...adopted of course because they are my best friends kids. lol.

Randi has two little girls and i adore them just as my siblings children. Paige, and Eden. Randi and i have been close friends for a long time! She married Coleman and they are an adorable family!

Paige

Eden

Then there is Steven. He too got married to Frankie and they just had a baby boy a little over a month ago. He is such a doll and my first nephew. :) 

Tommy

Now i have recently found out that my bestie Hailey is also pregnant and i'm so excited for her and her husband Kyler they are due in December.

I just want both of these guys to know that they are such inspiration to me and i can't wait to have kids and have them all be friends. Thanks for being such great friends and letting me be their adoptive aunt. :) even though i'm horrible and don't see any of you as often as i should. Love you!! Give my peanuts a big hug for me! 

So many things...

There are so many things i want to blog about, so....i may be long winded today but i'm gonna make several posts today. This one may be unnecessary, but....oh well heads up. lol

Life in a nutshell

So February 1 Kenny and I got married. We originally were supposed to be married on March 2 But Mitsue, Kenny's little sister, was leaving on her mission on February 6. She, Kenny, and I all wanted her to be able to attend so we changed the date and within 4 days of deciding, we were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple. Our Photographer Amber Vest was extremely kind and just switched up her week as soon as we told her so that she could photograph the wedding day. So here are a couple pictures to display our Magical day.

We had such a beautiful day and wedding. Although i never thought i would get married in the winter, it was more then i could have ever asked for. So thank you to all of you who were there to celebrate with us. We had our reception a month later on our supposed to be wedding day and it was SOO much fun! So we went to Vegas for our honeymoon. That was fun and we had a blast, although we don't like the strip hahah. 

this is our first night on our honeymoon in vegas. wooop!

Well, after being married for two months, Kenny started a new job with a company named Eco Shield. He is selling pest control in Utah until August. So we have been living here for the last month. We lived in an apt. in South Jordan for about three weeks and have just moved to Midvale now this past Saturday. Its nice to be in our first apartment and has been fun to decorate and what not. Kenny usually works from like 9:30AM-9:00 PM it basically blows. We see each other for prob around 5 hours  a day. Its tough but it makes us love one another even more. So i try to find stuff to do while he is gone because i dont have a job yet, and we JUST got internet/TV today. so now i can blog and watch netflix and stuff haha. 

 We went to Church on Sunday and we had planned to go to this Tongan ward after because i had never been to one and Kenny just wanted to check it out. All during our ward i kept feeling like we should be members of this Tongan ward. We went to sacrament there and the spirits prompting was definitely confirmed. It was an awesome meeting and everyone was so welcoming and kind. We are so excited to be apart of the ward. I can't understand everything that people say there because their accents are pretty strong haha. But i am working on learning hymns in Tongan and practice everyday.

Well, This is our life as of now in a nutshell. Ill be posting soon. Until then, Aloha!

MARRIED

Wooh!! WE're married! for almost 3 months now but hey, hahah quick post because i don't have much time. We love being married and its pretty much the best. i swear i will write more tomorrow or sunday or something :) haha more to come on whats been going on in our lives. love you all. 

The wonderful story of our future! (from me)

Well, first i think i need to say that i am not going on a mission to Arkansas, but i will be serving a mission here as a full time wife and i am stoked about it! 

Kenny and I met in High School. I was a junior and he was a senior. I was a cheerleader and we were putting on a patent that was called Mr.Fabulous. This is where the four schools in Idaho Falls come together and the top three guys who won "Mr.(their schools name)" from each school compete to be Mr. Fabulous. Well Kenny was a part of this and i was over it, so that is how we met. 

After this i never saw him again, until i came to BYU-I and i saw him at devotional one day during spring of 2011. I was pretty excited but i was too nervous to go talk to him so i just stalked him for the next week or so at devotional. I finally found him on Facebook and we decided to meet up to chat since we hadn't seen each other in about 4 years. I was SOOO nervous. It was fun to catch up on his life. 

In the summer of that year right before fall semester started we started talking and decided we should hang out during the semester. We ended up dating and things were GREAT best guy i have ever dated, he made me sooo happy. Then we said we loved each other right after Christmas of that year and started off the new year together. We dated on and off this whole time and have been for about a little over a year. We re-united again this semester and my feelings were that i always knew i was going to marry him from the first time we dated. So we shared our feelings and he eventually asked me to just stay home and not go on a mission to marry him. 

This whole time i knew i was going to marry him, so deep down inside this is what i always wanted to happen, i just wanted him to ask me to stay home and be his wifey. :) Well when the time came it was a little harder than i expected, but i pretty much knew what i was going to choose. 

Kenny and i went down to IF where we are both from and i talked to my parents, and then he came over and we all talked and my dad gave him permission. The next day, little did i know...he bought the ring. So we go home again for thanksgiving break on Tuesday and i go to the temple that night to just make for sure that this is what i am supposed to be doing. I went with my dad and we both just felt good about the idea. I text Kenny and told him we needed to talk... <--just like that. I wanted to make him fret a bit ;)muahhahahah. Then i told him that i was going to stay home to marry him and we spent the whole thanksgiving break together. I have never been so happy or so sure about something in my life. 

I love him so much! I can't imagine what my life would be like without him forever. 

WELL....here is the good stuff. Over thanksgiving break we re-wrote the song called "If i was your man" and so Sunday night we drove home and we watched the polar express. <3 Last time we watched this he asked me to be his girlfriend. So after the movie he said lets go for a drive. So we go to this parking lot where pretty much all of our intense conversations have happened in our relationship. We're sitting there and he said lets practice our song. So, we start singing, well the first line is "If i asked for your hand one day" so we sang the song all the way through with that line. Then he changed the lyrics to "If i asked for your hand today" and we sang that all the way through. But THEEEN he pulls this white box out of his pocket, sets it on his knee and i start crying. He changes the song to "If i asked for your hand right now" then said my name in it and something about wife. :)) this is one happy girl. I loooove when he sings to me. Back to the story, so he comes around to my door and i get out and he gets on his knee and says he loves me and wants to be with me forever, and more sappy stuff haha and asks if i will marry him. Of course i said YES! So, that is my side of the story. I will try to get him to write his. We are planning on getting married February 22, 2013 <3. I can not wait to spend forever and eternity with him. Love of my life, my soulmate....he's my best friend. Here is the ring :)
