So much to say, in the month of May. hahaha.

Ok, sorry about that. Just seemed to come to me. :)

Anyway, besides birthday and wedding anniversary and mother's day. WHEW! Today is another sort of special day, three years ago, I met my sweet and good-looking husband!! :) I'm not going to tell the story again, if you want to know how we met, you can read it here.Our story. So I'm really looking forward to the future and seeing what will happen in the next couple years.

But besides that, I also wanted to bring up Alyx . . . of course. It seems to me that he just walks when he wants to. He doesn't walk all the time yet, but just when he feels like it. Two days ago, he walked a LOT!! It seems like every twenty minutes (or less) he was standing up and taking steps all around our house. I caught a video but  it won't let me play it on here. So we will try again to get it on here later (with Jason's help, I'm sure). Another thing about Alyx, lately he seemed to be super cranky, even when it wasn't close to nap time and after he was fed and changed. So I checked on his teething status, knowing that he had a molar still breaking through his gums. Well it was poking through and looking about half way done. But I noticed something, he has TWO other molars coming in!!! My poor boy! So after those two are done, he will have a total of five molars besides the front teeth that he has.

Something I've been looking forward to is next week . . . it has beautiful beaches, several theme parks to go to, a gorgeous temple that is described as a castle and Jason's parents are bringing all of us and his siblings to go for a vacation there for a whole week plus a few days!! CALIFORNIA here we come!!! I'm so excited and can't wait to have some good amount of family time. I'll have to let you know about the trip when we come back of course. My biggest hope for this trip besides having fun, is to have some of Jason's family watch Alyx for a bit while Jason and I do a short session in the temple. I mean, I don't know when I'll have an opportunity like that again. The San Diego temple is amazing, last time I was there I did baptisms with my mom for my graduation trip (for High School). So if I do sealings or endowments with Jason, I'll really be in heaven. :) I would like to get a nice tan too though. ;)

Now if only I can get in shape and lose that baby fat and extra pounds!!!

I Cross My Heart

Ever heard of George Strait? The country singer?? I love some of his songs and "I cross my heart" is at the top. If you haven't heard it before I highly recommend listening to it. If you have heard it before, I say listen to it again. :) But beware, it may make you cry, so get the tissues ready.

Why am I mentioning this again? Oh ya . . . my 2nd year anniversary. :) So after researching and looking on the internet for hours and hours over the course of a few weeks, (not every day) because this year I was in charge of it, this is what we did.

Dropped off Alyx at my mom's.

Walked around Memory Grove Park hand in hand for a bit.

Went to Color Me Mine and painted a plate and a heart shaped plaque. (I'll show pictures of them once we get them back from being glazed) Jason even admitted it was more fun than he thought it would be. lol. :) Like I would plan something dumb and boring.

Then we checked in a hotel and changed into dressy clothes AND . . . . . ate dinner at THE ROOF!!! :)
Oh my gosh, I knew the food was going to be great, but seriously!!! It was heaven. They also had over 20 desserts and I had creme brulee for the first time and I loved it. Besides the food and the good looking company, I made sure that when I reserved a while back I asked for a ROMANTIC view, and we got it. :) Perfect view of the Salt Lake City temple and at a time where we would see the sunset and watched the temple light up. The pianist playing that night was amazing too, like soo talented at the piano. There were a few twenties even in the jar for tips. Later we gave her a $5. But anyway, I requested a song partway through dinner, I Cross My Heart. :) When I went back to Jason and eating, I heard that the song she was currently playing end and she started playing my song. :) I got the urge to dance and asked Jason if we could. After a little bit of pleading, I convinced him that we should. I mean, the tables around us were empty, so it's not like we would be bothering anyone. So there I was in Jason's arms, dancing, at The Roof, a view of the temple and the lovely song playing.

I was beyond cloud 9. So what could have been better than that? Later when Jason was finishing his food, I requested one more song, and it wasn't even on the list that the lady had of songs she could play.

I asked if she knew the song "So Close". She said, "Is it the one from Enchanted?" I said yes and explained how it was the song Jason and I first danced to as husband and wife and that today was our 2nd anniversary. She said that she would try to play it. I thanked her and went back to Jason. A little bit later, I heard the beautiful song I requested start to play.

We just had to dance one more time. So we did. We even danced longer than the first time. A cute old lady even gave us thumbs up. lol. :) It was wonderfully and totally romantic. I mean, how many people can say they danced at the roof once, or even twice, with their special someone and with 'their song' playing?

Sorry, anyway, just had to share that. The next day we also did sealings in the Bountiful temple and remembered the way it had been on the day we got married. :)

I'm so happy that Jason stuck with me and asked me to marry him. I couldn't have asked for a better man. He is so patient with me and is man enough to say sorry when things go wrong. He also forgives me when I make mistakes. He lets me cry and loves to dance with me. He makes me laugh and works so hard in school to make sure that in the future he will get a job that can support our family. I love to watch him play with Alyx and read books to him. He's a fantastic father, husband and my very best friend. I love him so much and am looking forward to seeing how our love will grow even stronger in the years to come.

Another year gone

I feel old . . . not old old, but sometimes I wonder, how did I grow up and another year passing without me really thinking about it? Sometimes it's weird to think about that I'm married and have a baby and have gone through a lot of crazy fun adventures and horrible living nightmares and I'm just in my early twenties. 

I joke that even though it's my birthday today, I'm not going to turn another year older till the time I was born. Doesn't that make sense? Cause technically I'm still 21. :) hehe. 

I remember when I was young . . . er, my mom would let me wait up till the time I was born. Some years it wasn't so easy, even if it's not super super late. But I remember how excited I was and how it was in a way a present to me. Sometimes my mom would watch the clock with me. But now that I'm married and living away, if she's not asleep, she'll send me a text and celebrate with me that way. 

I don't know what all the plans are for today. Since I left it in Jason's hands. :) I do know that we're going shopping for shoes. YAY! lol. Also he made me blueberry waffles this morning. Later for dinner we might go to  Tucanos, I love that place!!! AND!!! Jason said that he would make me brownies or cookies (not much of a cake person). 

I know how MUCH you would love for me to go on and on and on. But really I must go, for I am tired. The one time I should be able to sleep in, my body decides to stay awake for almost two hours after Jason got up and went to work (he gets up at 3:40 in the morning). So ugh. I will now say goodnight, er goodbye. :)
