Christmas

Christmas was such a beautiful day... It tried to snow and what snow we did get it did not stick to the ground but, that was alright. It was cold, snowy and just beautiful. It was one of my best christmases ever (in my whole adult life). Last year was the very best as that was our first christmas together and since we got engaged. This year was just wonderful because it was our first christmas being MARRIED!!!! I love being married and that is the best thing i ever did and I love Bryan so very much. I am truly blessed and the lucky one. I in some way or another know and realize every day just how much he loves me. And for that i am very greatful and lucky... On Christmas day we just slept in a little and took our time "getting the day going!" we started opening gifts around 11:30 - and NOON. "Santa was very good to me this year!" and so was my mother in law, brother in law, mom and dad, and my HONE (SANTA)... after opening gifts my nephew Shane came over he will be here till new years eve. He came in the house and he was so excited he went straight over to the christmas tree... He could not wait to open his gifts after he did that and everyone was ready to go. We went over to Bryan's Uncle Robert's and Aunt Teressa's house they live in Garland. Which is not far at all. Anyhow over there we got to spend time with them (Uncle Robert and Aunt Teressa), his Uncle Rick, his Aunt Judy & Uncle Rick (there are 2 uncle rick's) and his cousin by marriage Corena, husband Eric and little 17 month old cute little boy COLT... There was such delicious and yummy finger foods, good visiting, and just tine together with family. We exchanged gifts over there and we also play this game where everyone brings a random gift and wraps it up and they all go under the christmas tree and then everyone picks a number and then when your number is called and it's your turn you get a gift and open it and then others have the option to get one from other the tree or "steal" yours and each gift can onlhy be "stolen" 3 times and then it's "DEAD" and can't be taken anymore. Such a fun game. Bryan's family is always so good to me and good to both bryan and i. We love them so much... We will miss our texas family when we move but, will always come and visit and be here at least every other year at christmas or thanksgiving.... Bryan's Aunt and Uncle gave me some sweeet bath gels, shower gels etc. from Bath and Body works and bryan got some sweet chocolate covered pretzels and a Old Spice gift set... But, the principle and idea is to be together with family. And that is our greatest gift. Without family we are nothing.... We missed seeing Uncle Steve and all who couldn't make it....

Home for Christmas

"What all of us long for in our hearts, at Christmastime and always, is to feel bound together in love with the sweet assurance that it can last forever. This is the promise of eternal life, which God has called His greatest gift to His children (see D&C 14:7)." —Henry B. Eyring,

Of Curtains, Contentment, and Christmas

"Christmas and some of the cherished traditions of the season remind us that we, like the Wise Men of old, should seek the Christ and lay before Him the most precious of gifts: a broken heart and a contrite spirit." —Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Of Curtains, Contentment, and Christmas", 2012 First Presidency Christmas Devotional, December 2012

The Spirit of the Season

"At this joyous season, may personal discords be forgotten and animosities healed. May enjoyment of the season include remembrance of the needy and afflicted. May our forgiveness reach out to those who have wronged us, even as we hope to be forgiven. May goodness abound in our hearts and love prevail in our homes." —Thomas S. Monson

6 MONTHS....

So excited.... Bryan & I have been married 6 MONTHS... that means we have been married 1/2 a year!!!! can't wait to see what the next 1/2 year will bring and what all the years, days, months, weeks and days will bring... I Look forward to it all... I wouldn't have it any other way... I love Bryan so much, I love how he works so very hard for me and us and to support me. I love how he shows me by word and action how much he loves me., Loves how he is so very forgiving and forgives me when i come up short and make mistakes., I love how he wants to and does everything he can to help us prepare for eternity and the temple. And how he wants to be with me forever. I never thought and was beggining to think and believe that there would be no one out there who would fall in love with me, accept me, who would want to be with me in this life let alone for time and all eternity. Then bryan came into my life... And things have never been the same (things have never been the same - FOR THE GOOD AND POSITIVE)!!! I Love you Honey!!!!

DON'T TAKE MY TWINKIES, DING DONGS, HO HO'S AWAY....

I saw this online last night and now i am SAD!!! DISCLAIMER : I am not the owner of this picture/image or the author of the article below. Just a fan and reader.

The maker of Twinkies will ask a judge for permission to liquidate and close all operations as soon as November 20 if workers do not end the strike. Hostess Brands Inc. said it will ask a U.S. bankruptcy judge for permission to liquidate if enough striking workers do not return to work by the end of Thursday to let the maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread resume normal operations. Wednesday's announcement escalates a bitter dispute between the 82-year-old company and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, whose members constitute about one-third of Hostess' nearly 18,000 employees. A union spokeswoman said the union would have no immediate comment. Workers at Hostess plants across the country had gone on strike or refused to cross picket lines on November 9 to protest pay cuts that Hostess had in bankruptcy court won the right to impose. That prompted the company at the time to raise the specter of liquidation in case of a widespread strike. On Wednesday, Hostess said that if enough striking workers did not return to work by 5 p.m. ET the next day, the company would on Friday ask U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain in White Plains, New York, who oversees its Chapter 11 reorganization, for permission to shut down and sell assets. "We simply do not have the financial resources to survive an ongoing national strike," Hostess Chief Executive Gregory Rayburn said in a statement. The Irving, Texas-based company had previously reached agreement on pay and benefit cuts with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, its largest union. Hostess said if it wins permission to liquidate, it will begin to close all operations as soon as November 20, two days before Thanksgiving, and fire all plant workers except those needed to prepare its facilities for sale. Earlier this week, Hostess said the strike forced it to permanently close three of its 36 bakeries, costing 627 jobs. The company said it has 565 distribution centers and 570 bakery outlet stores, as well as the 33 other bakeries. Hostess filed for protection from creditors on January 11, its second bankruptcy filing in less than three years, after failing to win concessions on pension and health benefits. The company had about $860 million of debt at the time. The case is In re: Hostess Brands Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-22052.

5 MONTHS....

This is a couple of day's late... And here i am again... Bryan and I have been married for 5 MONTHS... It has been the absolute best 5 months of my life. Sometimes it still seems like a dream. Like "Is this real ?" Sometimes i feel like still i am going to wake up, and still be single and realize that i do not have Bryan and that i will be alone. our 5 month anniversary was on November 9th. We got married on June 9th of course. I can't imagine my life without Bryan. And i am glad i do not have to. I am so lucky, glad, and blessed i get to have him forever and looking forward to Eternity with him and him being mine forever. I Love you Sweetheart!!! you are my soulmate, my best friend and the love of my life.

The Three Stooges...

Bryan & I got the new Three Stooges movie to watch from Redbox. We just watched it and it just got over. We really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. The movie was good and fun. However it's just all about being together and spending time with my love and being together with him. That is what it's all about. It's not the movie and not to sound repetitive but, for me it's about being together and the quality time and the bonding and such. I Love my sweetheart so much and i can't imagine my life without him.

WHAT I AM GREATFUL FOR....

I Wanted to share with everyone on a "daily" basis things i am greatful for. I will just be adding what i am greatful for in one post and at the end of the month i will post it. Stay tuned....

A little disappointed....

As you know with the holiday's coming up. Krispy Kreme has out a glazed pumpkin pie - snack pie. So while at walmart this morning i picked up one to try. And i have to say that i was kind of really disappointed. It wasn't as good as i had thought and hoped. Really disappointing because i really love pumpkin pie. So for me it's not worth it.

Become Anxiously engaged.....

"Great things are brought about and burdens are lightened through the efforts of many hands 'anxiously engaged in a good cause.'

Russell Ballard,

Protect the children....

Brethren, We have work to do.....

"As men of the priesthood, we have an essential role to play in society, at home, and in the Church. But we must be men that women can trust, that children can trust, and that God can trust." —D. Todd Christofferson,

Becoming Goodly Parents

MY RODEO....

So my rodeo has been down for like a month at least because when my love and i was trying to put a radio in it something blew and resulted in the car not starting. OOPS!!! anyhow so things have been crazy and busy with the car lot and us as well. So this afternoon about a half hour ago it was arranged for a tow truck to come down to mesquite from richardson to pick up the rodeo and back up to the car lot to get all well and better and fixed up. I miss my rodeo already.... but, look forward to getting it back and being able to drive my other baby (car) around. I do have my saturn but, it will be good to have the rodeo back working so gas will last longer in the other cars. I think there is pretty much a full tank of gas in the rodeo. I do not have a picture of my rodeo but, here is one that is the same year. I found one online. ***Disclaimer*** this picture i am posting i do not own i am just posting for the purpose of displaying what my rodeo looks like. I DO NOT OWN!!!!

Here is pretty much what mine looks like... it's the same color and style and everything.

Ask the missionaries -- they can help you!!!!

"The decision to serve a mission will shape the spiritual destiny of the missionary, his or her spouse, and their posterity for generations to come. A desire to serve is a natural outcome of one’s conversion, worthiness, and preparation." —Russell M. Nelson,

Inspiration

I will be trying to post daily inspirational thoughts - they are just thoughts to think about. Not meant in anyway to offend in anyway. I hope you enjoy these daily thoughts... "There is nothing mysterious about the principles of the gospel. We have studied them in the scriptures, we have discussed them in Sunday School, and we have heard them from the pulpit many times. These divine principles and values are straightforward and clear; they are beautiful, profound, and powerful; and they can definitely help us to avoid future regrets." —Dieter F. Uchtdorf,

Things to be Greatful for.....

So i know it's not Thanksgiving yet. It's not even November yet. But, i believe that we should be greatful and be expressive and express what we are greatful for all year and all the time and not just in the Fall or at Thanksgiving time. That being said.... I again want to express, list & put down in the form of a post what i am greatful for. What I am Greatful for... * I'm greatful to live in a country where i am free to choose my belief's, religion, where i go to shop, work etc. * I'm greatful to have such a loving, wonderful, supportive husband who takes such good care of me., Who adores me, who cherish's me, and is always there for me and who truly loves me & works very hard to take care of and support me and us. Who is a very hard worker. * A Loyal husband * Wonderful In Law's (including extended family like Aunts, Uncles, cousin's and Granparent(S) (my husband's family and grandpa)(my father in law's father and his wife). * A roof over my head * A car to drive * My Family (Aunts, Uncle's and Cousins and their families) * My parents who raised me well and worked hard to provide for me and help and make me the person i am today. * 3 special Children (Dakota, Kayla and Ashlee) My nieces and nephew. Who i love so much and who are so loving, caring, giving and accepting. * For wonderful friends who are so very big and such a big part in my life.

What to EXPECT.... When your EXPECTING....

Disclaimer: to my knowledge I'M NOT PREGNANT!!! that being said i want to write about a fun, and cute movie i saw the other night. A movie i rented from redbox. It's called "What to expect when your expecting". it has Jennifer Lopez, and Cameron Diaz in it along with other awesome actors and actresses. Anyhow so this movie is about Jennifer Lopez struggling with fertiity issues and so her and her husband is in the process of adoption., they adopt a baby from Ethiopia. Cameron Diaz is a personal trainer/fitness instructor and such and she is getting ready to film some fitness shows and finds out she's pregnant and expecting and is supposed to be completely done filming before she delivers but, while traveling experiences some preterm labor of sorts and get's put on bedrest and has to stay in Atlanta till she delivers and her boyfriend shows up to take care of her. and Dennis Quaid is in this movie and is married to some 20 or 30 yr old something girl and they get pregnant and are expecting twins while his son and his wife are expecting. And they all are or seem to be well off. It's really fun and sweet. I won't say to much more so you won't know everything that happens. I definately loved this movie and definatley recommend it. IT'S TWO THUMBS UP!!!

Amazing Jakes.....

This last Monday my awesome mom in law, brother in law, myself, and nephew shane and my awesome best friend & Sweetheart Bryan went to Amazing Jakes up in Plano - here in Texas... of course. It's kind of like Chuck E Cheese accept it's for all ages. So you all get the idea of what kind of place it is right ? Anyhow we went because it was Shane's fair day. All the schools down here in texas this time of year when the State fair is going on they all have fair day's which when you have your fair day you get the day off of school (the different school districts have their fair day's and they are all on different days). Anyhow we opted to not go to the fair due to the costs, parking, crowds etc. So we went to Amazing Jakes and had pizza, soda's, drinks desserts (it's a all you can eat buffet). And then played. It was so fun!!! Thank You mom for a fun day. Honey, We were sad you couldn't stay and play with us (Bryan had to go back to work- he came over on his lunch hour- he don't work that far from there).

4 MONTHS....

So I have been married to the love of my life officially for 4 months and 1 day. Has been the best 4 months of my life. Of course we have our up's and down's and that's normal. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am really the lucky one and so very blessed to have a husband who adores, loves, and cherishes me and works so hard to take care of me and us as a couple. I try my very best to be the best wife possible. I always am trying. I can't wait and look forward to eternity and forever with Bryan... Happy Anniversary Sweetie!!!

Random....

So here i am.... I am so excited that it's Sunday and that i actually HAVE THE DAY OFF. That is very rare especially with working in retail and with the holiday's coming up i think it will become even more rare to have a Sunday off. I find that Bryan and I are able to do more (like have fun) with us both working and us having 3 incomes. One of our "BIG!" and main goals is to by Christmas have our Honda Paid off. Bryan and I are really motivated to get things and work to get bills etc. paid off and to be as debt free as possible. So like this last week we got a Wedding card in the mail from one of my relatives (a extended cousin- like 2nd cousin on my mom's side. My cousin Carrie and her husband Joe are such good, wonderful and generous people. We missed them at the wedding and sad they didn't make it to the wedding and reception and they were sad they couldn't be there. But, wanted to send us something. They sent a card with a Gift card to one of our favorite stores TARGET!!! we love Target... So i went online when we got it. We were so excited and we picked a couple of things off our list. We should be getting our order shortly. I had a Milk shake from Jack in the box for the first time last night. It was a strawberry shake and it was awesome. I Love Jack in the box. And there Jumbo Jacks are awesome to. I definately recommend them as well as the jalepeno bites. Anyhow i think that is enough randomness for now. Don't you think ?

3 MONTH ANNIVERSARY- DATE NIGHT....

My Love and Awesome hubby is always amazing me., and Surprising me. So i had the day off today and it started off like any other day. He went to work and he got home a little late and there was something (a errand) i wanted to run tonight. So we met up at Kroger. Which is like real close to our house. Maybe a block or block in a half (it's less than that- i am positive). We met up and went to take care of the errand i needed and wanted to do. And we were driving around afterwards and i can't remember how it came up but, all the sudden he's like "let's go see what's playing at the movies- and go see a movie." I was like "really? can we afford it?" and he's like "baby, were fine..." so we went to the movie theatre witch is "the dollar movie" Movies before 6 PM the cost is $1.25 and after 6 PM it's $1.75. We got there and i mentioned that i wanted to see the newest Madea movie "Madea's witness protection". We were wondering if the start time which was 10:15 PM would be to late. So then we were thinking about the Madagascar 3 movie but, then decided ultimately on the new Madea movie. And i am glad we did... That movie is Hillarious!!! since we had till 10:15 - we did a couple of other things. We got a few things at walmart, got some mcdoubles and fries at McDonalds and then went out to one of Bryan's favorite lakes and special fishing spots out in Forney. Just spent time together and alone... I love these times alone just bryan and i and spending time together. I love him so much and i can't imagine my life without him in it. He is so good to me and takes care of me. Thanks Baby for such a fun and wonderful night and date... I Love you!!!!

3 Months....

What can i say ???? the last 3 months have been the best and most wonderful 3 months of my life... 3 Months ago on June 9th, 2012 in Magna, Utah I Married my best friend and the love of my Life and soulmate Bryan Philip Walls. We got married up in Utah. We had so much support and many people at our wedding ceremony, reception and through out that whole week including at our Bridal shower, and then our pre-wedding dinner on the 8th of June (Night before our wedding), and of course our wedding and reception. We had a awesome time and really appreciate all the love and support. We will post video's, slide shows relating to our wedding soon. Anyhow we have been married 3 months and it has been the best 3 months of my life and bryan's as well. I truly and sincerly appreciate all my wonderful, dedicated, loving best friend and soulmate and husband Bryan does for me., How hard he works - He is such a hard worker and works so hard and is so dedicated and devoted and i love him so much and can't imagine my life without him in it. I appreciate all he does to show and express his love for me. I truly and genuinely know he loves me. He picks me up when i fall, lifts me up when i am down and always assures me everything will be alright and to have and be faithful. I Love his strength and his faith. I love how he is so very loyal. he would do anything for family, friends and me and he would give you his shirt off his back., I love how he makes me feel so special and loved and the "cute and sweet names" he uses and calls me such as and for example "Sweetie, Sweetheart, honey, baby, baby doll, baby cakes and other's." I Love how he surprises and spoils me and does special things for me and us just so we can spend and have quality time together and be alone. And how he treats me and is always cheering me on and encouraging me. I never knew this would be what and how true love and being and falling in love would feel and be like. I would not have it any other way. I look forward to many more years and eternity with Bryan... Happy 3 Month Anniversary Baby!!!

Mine and Bryan's Wedding ceremony - The video...

Here is the video of mine and Bryan's wedding ceremony. It was such a wonderful day and special day. We hope you enjoy it....

BEST HUBBY EVER--- "HUBBY OF THE YEAR AWARD!" AND SHOUT OUT TO MY HUBBY

I know i have said it before and i hope your not getting tired of reading these kinds of posts from me. Anyhow i just have to and want to say again that I am the luckiest girl alive and around.

And i have the best husband ever..... He takes such good care of me and is always expressing in some way and showing me in some way how much i mean to him, how he cherishes me, how much he loves me and such... A couple of examples i want to share...

I believe it was Saturday the 25th and well it started as a typical Saturday.  i went to work and worked from noon till 5 pm - I love that schedule. I figure if i have to work on Saturday's. the noon till 5 PM is the perfect schedule.

Anyhow i was feeling kind of bummed because i was feeling we don't get to do to much because of money being tight and all and i don't like to be away from BRYAN really alot.

So he was like "Honey, then maybe we will do something special after you get off of work." Not thinking anything of it. I went to work - actually i was thinking a little about it but, anyhow i got off work and he picked me up and we met up with some of our friends.

Little did i know that for at least several days before Bryan and our friend REGE - had been planning a special night alone for Bryan and I. How it went down was we went over to REGE'S apartment and he had plans with his girlfriend and spent the night and alot of the next day with her and so BRYAN and I got to spend the night and all of the next day till i had to go to work alone in our friends' apartment ALONE!!!! just the 2 of us. We were able to just be together, bond, watch tv, and do whatever we wanted...

My sweetie and i also got chips and queso and other fun stuff and made a good dip and we were just alone....  It was wonderful. I love these random and spontaneous overnight's and dates and such.

This last Thursday (PAYDAY- LAST THURSDAY). I was all ready to make dinnet (Note: Make spaghetti, salad (get a ready salad mix), dessert, and those take and bake/frozen self rising take and bake pizza's etc.) for dinner. And well on Payday morning i was talking about that is what i wanted to do and then he really wanted me to come up to Plano and spend time up there till after work and such and was like "Don't worry about dinner!" and i am thinking well this is weird. So we had lunch together, and then after work we were just driving and come to find out he had the idea and planned for us to take a drive up to Durant, Oklahoma to one of our "Favorite casino's" Choctaw hotel and casino.  We just spent time there and "chilled!" and on the way up there we made a mcd's and all that and then on the way back we spent the night in Denison, TX (He used to live there several yrs ago) it was this little motel not like a hotel or motel in a major chain. Just a small independent one. Anyhow so we were able to have another night alone and together just the 2 of us and to unwind and get away from it all.

He is such a sweetheart and works so hard and I love him so much and i can't imagine my life without him in it.

He is such a hard worker, a wonderful man, provider and works hard and is always very protective of me and takes such good care of me and works so hard for us and i am really blessed and lucky. I look forward to many more wonderful years and memories and building a wonderful life with my love and best friend.

Enjoy!!!!

 

 

I Love my Hubby so much... I am so lucky and blessed...

 

 

This was such a sweet and precious dance... My hubby is so sensitive and tender....

For some reason the video isn't posting and uploading correctly. So frustrating. So when it comes it will come in a different post. Sorry everyone.... Stay tuned!!!!

So Lucky and Blessed....

You know i probably say it alot or to much. But, I have to say that i am one of the luckiest girl around.
I have such a wonderful husband who just completely adores, cherishes, and loves me. Who is also very protective of me.
He got me a vehicle this last weekend as we have been carpooling to work because we both work in Plano. And typically during the summer's at his job it get's so hot in the warehouse he works in and such that they take 1 1/2 hour lunches. So it has worked out for us., however that is about to come to an end. So my hubby got me a car. I love my set of wheels. I promise pictures coming soon.. It's a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo. It's white!! it needs some fixin up but, it's new to me and to us. I Love my Rodeo.
I'm just so lucky to have a wonderful husband and best friend who loves me so much, who looks out for me, who takes care of me and who loves Jesus Christ, his family, my family and life and has so much faith. I wish i had the faith and everything he has.

VIDEO'S FROM OUR WEDDING....

So my Awesome cousin on my dad's side (One of them) Diana who came to the wedding with her girls (some of them) not all of the family could make it. She recorded and made 6 video's at our wedding and reception. Including recording as i understand it the complete ceremony and mine and bryan's first dance. Those files are to large to they will have to be put on a memory stick/flash drive and sent to us and uploaded and such. But, there are 6 total and we got 4 of them and they include:

My bridal bouquet toss

I LOVE BEING MARRIED.... AND HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY....

I have been married for now about almost 5 1/2 weeks.... And i just LOVE IT!!!! - Yes, I LOVE IT!!!

I Love being loved and having someone who genuinely loves, cherishes, and cares about me.

Here are some reason's why - as there are many... I will just list "SOME" of the reasons why i absolutely love being married.

I Hope you all enjoy reading about it & that you don't get to bored or nothing...


Why I Love being married:

*I Love at night having someone by my side - that when i fall asleep - i love having someone right by my side and next to me.

*I Love when i wake up in the morning or even in the middle of the night because i can't
sleep or for whatever reason - looking over and having my husband by my side.

*I Love that i have someone to love and care about and take care of
*Even though i am not working right now i always look forward to the end of
the day when Bryan comes home. Because i love and miss him so much and i get to
get a kiss from him and i get to give him my kisses i have been "saving"
throughout the day.
even when we both were working before we got married - I didn't like mornings to much
because I didn't like leaving him when he would drop me off at work.
I would always look forward to lunch time's or if we didn't have lunch at the same time
 and we had the opportunity to call and leave voicemail's i would always look forward
to either phone call's or voicemail's. 
 Especially when i was working i would always love recieving voicemail's on my desk phone
at work.

*I Love being someone's wife and being there for someone and knowing that
I have Bryan forever.

That is all i will write for now.... I do not want to bore you all.
I hope you have enjoyed reading....

My Life....

I do not want to come off as obnoxious or nothing... I know i just posted a few days or so ago.
But, i can't help it... I just want to write and express how much i love my life... I am so Happy!!!
So happy i can't contain it. I am one of the luckiest girls around and you ask why??? well because i am in love with such a wonderful man who i love more than i love myself, more than i love life., Who i know cherishes, and adores me and loves me forever and deeply as i do him. Who loves me and his love for me deepens and grows more and more everyday.

I never thought i would find Bryan but, i have and he is mine... Mine forever and i can't imagine my life without him in it. I do not want to be with anyone else than him.

If it be our Heavenly Father's plan and intention and will for us... HE IS THE ONLY ONE I WANT TO HAVE A FAMILY, CHILDREN AND BABIES with.. I could go on and on but, i won't because i do not want to bore you or offend or get to obnoxious or mushy in anyway.

I Love you Honey.....

Love me face to face- Alabama....

I am posting the code & link to the song by Alabama that was apart of our wedding processional and that i walked down the aisle to with my dad and that my bridal party, the groomsman, my little flower girl and ring bearer walked down to the aisle to on our wedding to.
Such a beautiful song... Truly mine and Bryan's song...

*** Sorry Guys - for some reason this is not posting right.... So you will just have to click on the clickable link for it to come up. Normally it would have the video posted and such instead of the writing and stuff. *****



Love this song... every time i hear this song i remember that day, get choked up and or start crying, remember all those who were there in person and spirit with us., and the love we have for eachother and promises we made.
Makes me anxious to see the video of the ceremony and all.

1 MONTH.....

Exactly 1 month ago (June 9th, 2012) all my dreams came true. Because that is when i married the love of my life, best friend, man of my dreams.
Yes, Bryan and I have been married for 1 Month!!! - although we got married on a Saturday., today is our official 1 month anniversary. It was 4 saturday's ago (on this last Saturday). Where does the time go ??? I love him more today than i did a month ago, more than i did 6 months ago and more than i did almost a year ago (when we got together). We have been togther almost a year. This month has been crazy and such but, everything we go through makes us stronger and i look forward to all the opportunities that will strengthen and make us stronger individually and as a couple. And all the blessings marriage brings and all the UP's and Down's and all of it.
Happy 1 Month Honey... I look forward to the day we kneel across eachother and are sealed to eachother for time and all eternity. and are eachother's FOREVER!!!!

here are a few pictures done by our photographer on our special day... Thanks Olga and Endless Memories Photography...

4th of July....

I want to write about the 4th of July... And also it's special meaning to me. I am Greatful for this day - the birthday of our wonderful country. The country that gives us the freedoms we enjoy, the declaration of independence, and a chance to celebrate with friends, family and have a very fun and special day. This day is also special to me personally for a few reasons. the first one being - it's the birthday of my Great Grand father Roy Alva Richhart SR., can't remember his birth year. It also is the 2 Year Baptism anniversary/anniversary of Joining the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints of my wonderful and sweet & dear husband Bryan. Bryan Joined the church and was baptized on July 4, 2010. I can't wait till we can and will go and start our temple preparation classes, the day we get our endowments out, the day he recieves the melchezidek preisthood, and also the day when we kneel across eachother (Across the Altar) in the house of the lord (one of many of our beautiful temples) and become eternal companions and get married and sealed for time and all eternity (our temple wedding). And of course the day of the birth of our first child and all our children. I can't wait to have and go through all these moments and milestones with the Man I Love and to be with him forever and to be with him only (he is the only one i ever want to be with and have children with)., and to continue and experience life with him and recieve and be the recipient of all the blessings of marriage and blessings marriage brings. Happy Fourth of July everyone....

My Birthday....

My Birthday this year was special... And i thought my birthday last year when i turned 30 was special. It was special in it's own way. But, my birthday this year was really special. Simply for the reason and fact that this was my first birthday with my HUSBAND and being married., and my new family and my first birthday being a daughter in law, a sister in law, and a wife and having 2 new nephews (officially)... I Love my husband, my mother in law and new family (including extended family) so very much. I do not know what i would do without them. Bryan most importantly makes in some way or another every day and my life always special.  

I look forward to many many more days, birthday's, special ocassions, etc. and to eternity with  him and this wonderful family as well.

Also i had a very good friend of mine Mackenzie - She had her beautiful baby girl Annie - little Annie was born on my Birthday (June 26th) so i am so excited that i now get to share my birthday with this beautiful little girl.

Yay for June birthday's!!!!

Changes Coming....

Time to get down to business.. Since Bryan and I are married now. We are really wanting to start a family., to be able to get pregnant and have children. Which means i want to be and become even more healthy... That being said... I am going to strive and work harder to get in better shape, loose some weight, and slim it down also meaning making better beverage and food choices. I think my main struggle will be backing off and or cutting down on the Soda and carbonation intake. That is the thing i struggle with the most. I find that when i loose weight i am only loosing between 3-5 pounds each week (when i loose) and then it seems like the next week i am gaining it all back and more. So i know i can do it with the love, encouragement and support most importantly from my Husband. And the love, help and encouragement of all of you my friends and family.

My Challenge Continues...

Yes i am still here and doing my challenge. I am starting a new one soon. But, I will keep this same blog address. Anyhow i have been inspired the last few days while watching the revolution. You know what show i am talking about. While watching yesterday i was really inspired by this sweet girl who about a few months before her birthday she decided to start her "REVOLUTION!!" this girl has always been there for others and has not taken time to care for herself. But, she was making changes. She made her a goal to by her 30th birthday she wanted to be under 200 pounds. And she made it... I am going to do the same... I AM STARTING A "REVOLUTION!!" of sorts. really it's for more than one reason. 2 reasons mainly is as follows: 1. I want to be in better shape and feel so much better about myself. And just to be and FEEL HOT!! AND SEXY!!! and 2. Now that Bryan and I are married... we really want to start trying and start and have a family of our own. I want to be as healthy as possible so when/if i get pregnant. I won't have struggles and issues of being able to carry a pregnancy and child because of weight problems. My goal by next summer is to be under 150!!! that gives me a whole year. I figure it's not a tremendous amount of weight to loose. It's only maybe 30 pounds. Wish me luck... comments, encouragement, advice is appreciated thanks!

2 WEEK ANNIVERSARY.....

2 Weeks ago today.... All my dreams came true and I married my best friend and the love of my life. Bryan makes me so very happy. Also very loved, secure. I know how much i mean to him and how much and deeply he loves me. And it's the same from me to him.  These past two weeks have been the best of my life. It is still different for me to think and know and realize when i wake up in the morning and just still weird and different (in a good way) to know that "Wow, i'm someone's wife!" It is such a good feeling.

Marriage is such a blessing... I look forward to many more years and eternity of having the stuggles, trials, joy and everything that brings about all the blessings of marriage.

I can't wait till the day we go and kneel across from eachother as husband and wife across the sacred Altar in the temple (house of the lord) and get married forever (having our sealing and temple wedding and marriage). And for that new beggining.

Marriage is and will be alot of work and will have alot of up's and down's and such but, it will be all worth it and is all worth it. It will only make us stronger and grow as a couple, individually and as a family. I can't wait to begin our eternal family. I look forward to all the blessings and everything marriage brings.

Happy 2 week anniversary Sweetheart! I love you...

Being Married to Bryan.... my best friend, the love of my life...

Bryan and I have been married almost 2 weeks... Will be 2 weeks this coming Saturday. We got married June 9th, 2012.
We just got back from Utah and our honeymoon and from getting married on Sunday (Father's day!) We are still settling into married life and getting used to being married. And in this almost 2 weeks of being married he continues to amaze me. And he continues to teach me so much and shows by words and actions how precious i am to him, how much he loves me and such.

What he has taught me so far since we got married... We went swimming last wednesday (a week ago almost) and well since i do not know how to swim and not to comfortable with water so much. I was real uneasy and scared to go down the water slide and into "to deep" of water.

Bryan being the wonderful person and husband he is... he was/is very paitent with me and said among other things "Baby, don't let the water control you... you control the water." "your going to be fine and your not going to drown." and things like that. he stated he would work with e and teach me to swim. And then did some basic exercises with me and showed me it's not scary and it's okay to go down the water slide and such.  And after a little while i went down the water slide a couple of times and upon doing that he expressed how proud of me he was/is.

He taught me that it's Okay to be afraid but, that there is nothing to fear (at the same time)and teaches that he will help and be there with me and help and protect me. And shows again just how much he loves me. I look forward to all the examples of love (genuine and sincere LOVE) he will show and give me and all the things he will teach me. I Love you HONEY!!

Our Wedding... Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Bryan Walls

Bryan and I got married this last Saturday June 9, 2012. In my parents' ward house. The ward house and ward i grew up in. We will be going to be sealed for time and all eternity in about 1 year or so.
Bryan and i met online as a result of a free communication weekend and event on eharmony a year ago memorial day (around there). We started communicating and by the 2nd or 1st email in our free communication weekend or maybe after (as we had to go through the communication getting to know eachother and answering those questions etc.)
We both did not want to pay to communicate after the free event. We exchanged email addresses, phone numbers, friended eachother on facebook., by the 2nd email one night i was randomly on the computer talking to him and on youtube listening to country kind of songs and something went off in my head and i had the thought and said "I want to marry him (this guy!)
he was going to come up on the 4th of July weekend but, couldn't get off work. He had his vacation scheduled for the first weekend of august for a week. He left Texas on the evening of the 5th of August and arrived the night of the 6th (it's a 24 hour drive - longer because of stopping and resting etc.), we went to church on the 7th of August and had Jared and Lindsay and the girls over for lunch and to meet him. He got to meet Dakota the next day on the 8th as Dakota was at his mother's house. We also just "Hung out!" that day and was at the mall and started looking at rings- tried a few on., and just had fun. I got "Dolled up!" (got my hair done, we went out to eat and all that. He takes very good care of me. I Love him so much! i know he loves me so much.
On the 9th we hung out more.... went to the movies at Valley Fair Mall and after he's like "Let's go to the great salt lake!" we went out there and was walking around. walking on the sand and in the water. As we were walking we stopped for a minute. Not thinking anything of it. He then says "I'm fixen to do something... still not clicking in my head and i'm still not thinking anything of it... I was looking at the moon and the pretty sunset." I turn back around and when i did he was on one knee and the following was said  "Heidi Gail Richhart will you marry me ?" Of course i said YES!!
I got to show him off to meet most of my extended family at our family reunion about 3 days later on that friday and weekend.
We have been through so much together. I came home on May 23rd, 2012 ahead of Bryan to be here as a result of my mother being involved in a major and serious car accident on May 15th, 2012.
Anyhow i was without Bryan for 2 weeks... The longest 2 weeks of my life. But, he arrived on the 6th - actually the 7th (last thursday) at 2:00 AM - we went to get our marriage license on the 7th & had our couples bridal shower that night, had a dinner for family and close friends we had about 20 people there., and then the wedding and reception on the 9th.

We got married at 2:30 PM we are greatful for all the people who came and for their love and support. We had approximately 70 people (if not more) at the ceremony and then we  had the reception. We had so much fun and we had tons of people tell us how beautiful it was and how much fun they had. My bridal party and the groomsman were all wonderful. Very close friends. The processional was awesome.
I will post pictures taken later but, want to post one of the pictures our photographer took.

We were so blessed with this wedding... we had so much help!!! Thanks to my Uncle Paul, Aunt Cindy, my cousin Alyssa and her boyfriend Logan, my brother Jared and his wife, My uncle Larry and Aunt Susan - Aunt Susan who made me my beautiful bouquet and boutineers also the flowers for the bridesmaids., and for help decorating and setting up., My Awesome Friend Dede for making us our wedding cake, my friend Sam for being our DJ, my cousin Jodi for also providing greenery and additional flowers, and friends who helped at the reception and in the kitchen. My wonderful husband for making the dinner the night before., Austyn (my friend Leah's little girl) for being our ring bearer., She did a wonderful job. My niece Kayla for being the flower girl. All the services provided to us as a wedding gift such as the wedding cake, DJ services, Bridal bouquet and boutineers etc. And for everyone who came for their love and support and for all the gifts and generosity. Without you all and your love and support this day would not have been possible.
