Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to me and my sweet husband! For our anniversary we spent the weekend in Park City. Justin has spent the entire week in Texas and didn't fly in until early (3am) Saturday morning. We drove straight up to Park City and checked into our GORGEOUS hotel. We had an amazing suite at one of the Ski Resorts. We had a fabulous view and our own hot tub on our balcony. We spent Saturday shopping at the outlets and relaxing. It was the perfect weekend away!

I CANNOT believe that it's already been a year. Time has flown by. It has been a fabulous year. There were so many happy times, and a few sad times. But I'm so blessed to have had Justin by my side. Justin is seriously the best husband. He is more than I could have ever hoped and prayed for. He is truly my best friend. He is always making me laugh. I've never laughed more in my life than I have with him. He is so hardworking. He makes so many sacrifices on behalf of our family. He is so good. He has a loving heart. He is the best listener in the world. Even when he doesn't want to listen and even when I don't think he's listening....he does. Thank you Justin, for being my Husband. Thank you for our wonderful life. Thank you for making me happy. I love you more than anything. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our lives have in store. xoxo

Justin's new Cheers hat, I bought him for our anniversary.

Sad Day

Today is the one year anniversary of my Dad's death. I cannot believe that it's been a year already. I'm so greatful that he did not have to suffer anymore in this life. But I am still so terribly sad that he is gone. Sometimes, it just doesn't seem real. I still find myself wanting to call him when I have news to share. And especially when I need directions. My Dad was the best with directions. I could call him from any state and he would know exactly where I was and what roads I needed to take, in order to get to my destination. I miss my Dad a lot. I wish he was still here. I wish he could have met Justin and been at my wedding. And I wish he was still here for all of the adventures in life, left to come. But I know that he is happy and healthy now. Love you Dad.

SURPRISE!!!

May I just say that Justin is seriously the most amazing and thoughtful husband. He is so good to me and is willing to put up with so much. The last couple of months I've been taking some medication that messes with my hormones. And let me just say.......THEY MAKE ME SERIOUSLY CRAZY! My emotions are off the scale. And Justin has been such a trooper. Needless to say...I was in need of some good "mommy time". So Justin surprised me, by buying us plane tickets to see my Mom.
We decided not to tell my Mom that we were coming to visit. We flew into Phoenix on Friday night, got a rental car, and drove to Snowflake. We arrived at 1am. I walked to my Mom's front porch and called her on my cell phone. I told her there was a surprise package for her on her front porch. (Side Note: If you ever need your mom to buy a really stupid story, try telling it  to her at 1am. She'll believe anything.) So - My Mom walks to her front door, opens it up, and SURPRISE!!!!! There I am on her front porch. She screamed, she cried, she laughed, she asked what was wrong. After explaining that nothing is wrong, we just came to see her...it was a fun and joyous reunion. It was seriously the best surprise I have ever given.
We spent the 3 day weekend with my Mom. Beings she wasn't expecting us, there were no busy plans in store. It was so nice to just relax and talk and be together.  Thank you Mom, for letting us barge in on your weekend!

Reese & Raegan made Justin's hair SO PRETTY!

Mohawk of Flowers (he's a good sport!)

Raegan informed me, that I was no longer her favorite cousin. I have to share my number one slot with Justin.

Mommy & Me

Reese told me it was her birthday and that we should make cookies, so we did. (even though it was not her birthday, silly girl)

We love chocolate chip cookies!!
