2 Years Ago Today....

Two years ago today my sweetheart proposed to me at the temple. It was one of the best days of my life. I never thought that I would find such a wonderful man to be sealed to for time and all eternity. It was very easy to get wrapped up in all of the excitement of the ring and announcing our engagement, but when I step back I realize that I was and am beyond blessed. When I was in young women's I wrote a list of all of the qualities I wanted in my future husband and when I got engaged my young women's leader mailed me the list. I thought that was so cool because it was from years and years ago. The best part of all is that when I went through my list I could easily check off all of the qualities that my Cory has. I'm thankful for the understanding of the gospel and I'm thankful for the temple. There are not enough words to express the wonderful feelings I was able to experience by being sealed to my best friend. I love the promises that our Heavenly Father makes to us by being sealed and by keeping our covenants. 

So for all of you ladies out there that are still looking for that special someone...I promise that you really can live your fairy tale. After all, I found the most handsome prince and he took me to a castle and promised me forever!  Life just doesn't get better than this. 

I love you Cory Anderson and I look forward to eternity with you! <3

Birthdays....

It's not secret that I LOVE birthdays! Not only my own but I love celebrating others birthdays! I just think it's so cool to have a holiday just for yourself. Obviously other people share your birthday, but I love that fact that you can be surrounded by friends and family to celebrate your special day! 

Recently we were able to go to our niece Presleigh's 3rd birthday and it was so fun to watch how excited she was about her presents, cake, and pinata! :) We're not able to make it to all of our nieces and nephews birthday's because between both of our families me and Cory have 28 all together. We love each and every one of them so much and are so grateful to have such fun little blessings in our lives! They really keep things interesting! 

So I guess what my intention for this post was to take the time to tell all of our nieces and nephews and the rest of our family members HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love all of you! 

Here's a few pictures from Presleigh's special day....


Tee & Daysha watching her open her presents...

Presleigh giving Jaxxie a hug because she loved her present....

I love this picture because Jessie & Myles have Presleigh read the cards on the presents and makes sure she says thank you to each person after she opens a present. Look at her being such a good little listener......

Tee loving on our little cousin Jaxxie, she just turned 3 in December also....

I can't believe how big she's gotten .....

She got a big barn from her mom & dad. It use to be Myles and Tee's when they were little, so precious.....

Her "Princess Piggy" cake....

Pinata time.....

Grabbing all the candy with her cousin Ira & Jaxxie

She was in love with this chalk board she got from her Grandpa  Ross & Grandma Ranae

I had to add this one because Presleigh's little cousin Harley is such a  little doll...

Can I open the present yet?! Ha ha
