Catching Up

Hey guys! I have been slacking, partially because I do not have internet except for tether on Ryans cell phone that I can hook up my computer to so I can use the Internet.



On Ryans days off work we like to do fun things... sitting at home is good sometimes but we like to get out too. Two Saturdays ago we went to the Zoo, The Hogle Zoo.

Then this past Saturday, Ryan did work, but, we had an easter party that night. 500 easter eggs filled with candy hidden in, around, our yard and house! It was a lot of fun to spend time with the family and enjoy how happy it made all of them. We have the "GOLDEN EGG" that is hid and whoever finds it gets a "special"  surprise. This year Bailey found the egg. Here are some pictures.

Today, I won Tickets to go see the movie Fast Five! Awesome show that I fell in love with! It was a-maze-zing! This movie kept me on the edge of the seat the whole movie! Ryan had to hold me down at the end because I was literally jumping out of it!  (:

our fun loving dog.

Who doesn't want a dog that chews up random things? We're not talking shoes or furniture, no... not my dog! My dog chews up buckets... rake handles... cardboard boxes... and any toy you can find. Our back yard is a mess because of it! so this past few sunny days that's what we've been "trying" to clean up. haha, Here are some pictures.

The bucket...no longer a bucket (:

  The back yard, excuse the mess. The people before us didn't rake or anything before all the snow hit so we had to clean it all up. On top of that...you have the dogs chewed up cardboard, bucket, rake, ect.

This is our awesome playhouse and sand box. We're hoping to get it fixed up by end of summer.

 Back of the house/garage and Jets new kenal! (Jet is my brothers dog spending vacation with us though.)

 Our yard is quite large...one of the reasons I bought the house! come over for a cook out, we enjoy company :)

So that was our messy yard... We love it. It will be completely cleaned by the end of the week though ;)

Family won't disappear because of a fight

Sharp blade on the end of a five letter word, sliced through my back as tears stream my cheeks and all I could do was turn and walk away. Never thought it'd hurt like that. Never imagined I'd have my heart and my mind screaming two very different things. As I walked I remembered the time that everything was perfect. It was all good again and you were treating me like your best friend. By the end of the tears I had remembered it all. The fighting, the crying, the anger, and the times you would just avoid me. I remembered the laughs, the fun, the long talks, and the few times we just hung out. Now that we're older I noticed that the fun times have out grown the rough times, that we started hanging out like friends more than like brother and sister. Im sure you have realized by now, but that night hurt me, the words you used to tear me down to make yourself feel better destroyed me. Tears became puddles and my heart broke, but I gained strength to love you more. You may hurt, and feel like no one cares, but you know that is not true. My mind has told me multiple times that you will always use painful words when you have no one else to be mad at but yourself, but my heart tells me that you're my brother and I can't walk away. I can't turn my back on all the good times we have and I will always follow my heart. I wont walk out on you, no matter what happens. You know that you can't take back the words you say, but I am the one having to live with them. I think about that night everyday, and one day I will forgive you. Today I will live with the pain and we'll be friends once again, but sometimes pain like this does not disappear because you use the word sorry. Know that family wont disappear because of a fight. I will be here for you through everything, and I will always have your back, even when you're stabbing mine. I love you and nothing can change that, but that doesn't mean I can't be mad at you, at least for a little while.

Love, I'm going mushy.

It is exciting to be with the person that you love. To wake up believing it is all just a dream then realize that it is not. You are married to a person that you get to spend everyday for your entire life and eternity with. This person will hear everything, even words left unsaid. This is the person that knows your fears, your strengths, your weaknesses, your past, your present, your hurt, and will love you anyways. To me, this person, is my husband.

9 months of adventure. 9 months of bills. 9 months of decisions. 9 months of responsibilities. The 9 months of a beginning I will never forget. We've felt lost, we've felt hurt, but mostly we feel love for one another. Both came together to make marriage, and family work. We have our ups and downs. We're not the perfect couple, Even though we pretend we are. We fight, just to make up. We discuss every little thing, literally. We talk more than any couple I know. But, what I have learned, from watching others and from experience, is that there comes a time where everything will go horribly wrong and all you can do is laugh. I have this problem, you see, where everything gets analyzed thoroughly, no matter what it is. My problem isn't that though, it is that what I believe is about to happen next comes out completely wrong. No matter what happens, planning just never works out the way I would like. So in these 9 months of marriage I have learned that instead of analyzing everything im just going to laugh after it doesn't work out the way I thought it would. My surprise dinner that turns into a burnt brick, the walk that starts sunny and ends rainy, the birth control that decides to give you a scare, its all apart of marriage and all you can do is laugh. Now I go with the flow and I am loving every minute of it, but maybe that's the secret to marriage. I am no expert but I believe this; Live your dreams, together. Discuss, everything. Laugh, especially when it all goes wrong. Believe, in each other. Love, completely. Feel hurt, feel love, feel lost, but never hide feelings, and then, every part of marriage will work. It wont be easy, it will be really hard, but that is what makes it worth it. That is what makes good memories. That is what makes the world go round.

Ryan and I have been married for 9 months. Known each other for 4 years, and we have the opportunity for a life time together. I love him more than words can say. I am proud that he served a mission in Brasil and I am glad to get the opportunity to be married in the temple. I am excited to start popping out kids with him, in the future(far future). I am proud of the work he does for us and the man that he is. And this, is only the beginning.
