One year ago......

One year ago I married my best firend,and I have had the BEST year of my life with him. God has given me a wonderful life in his arms and I am so thankful for my husband. I look back over the last year and think about how much we have grown in ourselves and in our relationship. I look forward to many more years with this wonderful man.........

This was read at our wedding and I love to look back at it.....we have gone through a few of these in this last year.....

“These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever. These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other. These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind. These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and as in today, tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children, the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.”

One year celebration!

Don and I celebrated our one year anniversary on September 6th. What a year it has been!!!! We headed into Midway Utah looking forward to a Swiss Festival but it had ended already, so we decided to take in the Sheepdog Herding Competition--we both enjoyed it very much and decided that neither one of us would be very good at it. I decided that the breeze was nice and didn't realize how much sun I was getting in the afternoon--hence the nice suntan. We stayed at the Johnson Mill Bed and Breakfast and we slept with all the windows open and we slept like babies. We enjoyed a nice dinner in Park City at Gappa--the best dinner either of us have ever had. We had a wonderful day and night and loved that we were able to spend our first anniversary together--happy and healthy.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND DON RECEIVED A FOUR DAY WEEKEND AND WE DECIDED THAT SOME CAMPING AND HIKING WAS A MUST BEFORE WE LEAVE UTAH. WE HEADED TO SCOFIELD STATE PARK (REALLY SCOFIELD STATE LAKE) ON FRIDAY AND SET UP OUR TENT AND CAMPED. I AM NOT MUCH OF A BEAR PERSON AND ONE OF THE SIGNS THAT WE SAW WAS "BEARS VISIT HERE FREQUENTLY!" YIKES! I SLEPT FOR FOUR HOURS AND I WAS WIDE AWAKE AT FOUR A.M--"DON DO YOU HEAR THAT" "ITS A SQUIRREL GO BACK TO SLEEP" THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS UNTIL I SAW THE SUN AND FELL ASLEEP ONLY TO WAKE UP TO A SQUIRREL IN OUR TENT--THAT WILL TEACH DON!
OUR SISTER HEIDI MEET US ON SATURDAY FOR A RAINY DAY HIKE AND THEN COLD AFTERNOON, IN WHICH WE ALL DECIDED THAT SLEEPING INSIDE AND GETTING OUT OF THE COLD WOULD BE NICE, ONLY TO HAVE THE SUN COME OUT AND THE WIND STOP THE MINUTE WE STARTED PACKING......WE HAD A GREAT NIGHT AT HEIDIS NEW HOME IN SALT LAKE AND A NICE DINNER WITH HER. IT WAS GREAT TO CATCH UP AND SEE A FAMILY FRIEND.

GRILL MASTER COOKING!

ALL THIS STUFF FOR ONE NIGHT!

I BOUGHT THIS JACKET AT THE TOWN GAS STATION BECAUSE IT GOT COLD AT NIGHT--WE FORGOT ABOUT THAT PART.

I LOVE HIM--SO DARN HANDSOME.

OUR HOME FOR A NIGHT, IT SLEPT REALLY GOOD (WHEN I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT BEARS)
