Our Story..

For a while now I've just been thinking of the story how me and husband met, how he proposed to me ( I gave him the idea of where to propose I think) and all that jazz stuff. This post is about all that super funny stuff of me and my husband. 

We met at a church potluck back in 2010 and Allan (my husband) was so shy just like me! :) We became friends I asked him out all the time! to preference and he'd invite me to movies fun stuff! Oh ya I moved up to the city to live with my sister and work. Then eventually he got the job up north (right when I really started to like him and was thinking of asking him if he would be my bf) he missed my birthday too :(  I was so sad he couldn't come celebrate it with me. 

Then we started to date finally in May and did long distance over the summer but saw eachother almost every weekend so it wasn't bad at all!! so after 6 months of dating on Nov. 7, 2011 he proposed to me!!! yes I remember the exact date when he proposed to me I just have a good memory about important dates. 

Now the part everybody is probably waiting for 

THE PROPOSAL!!

and just so everyone knows I have what my family calls "blonde moments" 

So I go over to Allans house after a morning shift at work so I was kind of tired, he puts something in his truck and says he found a place we could go explore just of the Whitemud. It was a nature reserve so we parked and walked around for a while it was a chilly morning being Nov and all that. My hands were getting cold so I put my hand in his pocket and felt something "Allan what is that in your pocket? is it your phone?" allan says "No" and I didn't think any of it. So again "Allan what is in your pocket?" Allan says, "dont worry about it" hahahahaha! I should have known something was up! but being me I didn't think anything of it lol 

We continue walking and start heading back to the truck, and again........

Me, "Allan what is in your pocket?"

Him, "Take it out and find out"

So I take it out and can't believe I EVEN SAID THIS! "Why do you have a box in your pocket?" haha wow I do feel so dumb but I guess it makes for a good proposal. lol 

Allan says open it 

AND THERE'S MY RING!! :D the most beautiful piece of jewelry I own. :) and of course I cried the whole water works. haha I still feel so silly/dumb about not knowing what a ring box is!!!! but I guess it makes for a unique proposal. 

Then 5 months later we were married for time and all eternity in the Cardston Alberta Temple. 

Here's some pictures of us in our early dating stage and my engagement ring then of course wedding picture. ENJOY! 

oh yes MY HUSBAND COMES HOME TOMORROW!!!! YIPPEE!!!! 

ROAD TRIP!

I am awful at posting oops. Me and my husband just came back a little while ago from our spontaneous ROAD TRIP!! just had an idea of the city we would stay and find a hotel while we were there. Garbage hotels sometimes and other times just amazing hotels! plus free breakfast at every single one. Drove down and around all western United States super super fun!!! :D

Went to Montana did the bozeman hot springs amazing place loved it! Idaho found a potato museum there, Yellowstone National Park, Utah and toured around Temple Square there so beautiful also found Brigham Young's grave. Then 4 corners! be in 4 places at the same time!! Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. Awesome trees call the Petrified Forest! trees that turn into rock mineral kind of stuff. Grand Canyon SOO BIG!! wow! it was very cool! Then Las Vegas baby!! didn't do much there since it was Sunday and we tried not to spend money and all that. Hoover Dam we walked across! it is HUGE! We saw the Giant Redwood trees!!!! biggest trees i've ever seen! we walked through a redwood as well!! then kind of saw Mt St. Helen's didn't really see it due to the weather and drove through clouds! visibility is awful in clouds lol. states we went to are; Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Colorado,, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon. I think we estimated around 8,000kms. Week and a half we drove around didn't stay in one spot for more then a day. SUPER FUN! best places we found was Bed Rock CITY! saw the flinstones Fred and Wilma with little Pebbles. It was AWESOME!

Now my husband is back at work it is hard going from having him everyday to him being gone again. But this time I'm not too bad it gets lonely sometimes though. A recent thought came to mind, how do wives do it when their husband is in the army? They leave for months at a time and come home for maybe a week then leave again for months. I'm lucky in a way my husband only leaves for a week at a time but this time he might be home for only 3 days.  :(  If you see your husband everyday you are one lucky girl! It is great when my husband goes on vacation thats 3 weeks off just us :)  we will probably keep doing stuff like this till we actually settle down with our own house and start having kids. As others say "better to do it now while you can" haha.

It's just a matter of weeks before I am on vacation AGAIN! SO excited!!!! hmmm ya it seems like every other month I am on vacation oh well it is super nice to not worry about anything just leave and enjoy eachothers company. Just have to get through November then vacation no work! then Christmas and Allan gets to spend Christmas night with me :) our first Christmas and he comes on Christmas day. I'm sooooo EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS! first one being married then 4 more months till our 1 year anniversary!!!! and I finally can eat the cake thats been in my freezer since our wedding. here are some pictures of our wonderful road trip enjoy
