2 Years!

Today is a special day! Today is our 2 year anniversary! I can not believe it has been 2 years already but it has been the best 2 years of our lives! It feels like we just got married last month but so many awesome things have happened in the last two years! WE got our baby puppy Maddux, WE bought a house, WE got our first combined credit card (haha), WE bought a business (Computer Re-Nu/Mobile Computers), WE went on several vacations, etc.! We learn more and more about each other everyday! We are enjoying the time that we are having together now and loving every minute of it!

LIVE*LOVE*LAUGH

Happy 2 Year Anniversary to us!!!!

Happy Mothers Day

Happy mothers day to one of the best mommy's in the world! I always knew she was an amazing mother but i never really did appreciate everything she did for me and still does for me until I was much older. She would give the shirt off her back if someone needed it. She reminds me more and more everyday of my Grandma Reeves who was also a loving and amazing women. I want my mom to know how much i love her and how much i appreciate everything she has always done for me!

Happy Mothers Day Mommy! 

I love you always and forever!

Everyone loves a wedding!

Joe and I have been good friends with Nate and his family (the Wilkins) for about 6 years now, and last Saturday was just another reason to party and celebrate with the whole family! It was Nate and Jen's Wedding!!  Saturday May 7, 2011 was a beautiful day here in Utah. It was a grand 73 degrees and clear skies. A perfect day for a wedding! Nate and Jen got married in the Bountiful Temple, it was beautiful! The reception was held at the Carmelle Reception Center in Holliday, Utah. The reception was gorgious and so elegant, i loved it! Jen looked amazing and Nate looked handsome, these two couldn't be more perfect for each other. We love them both and want to wish them lots of happiness!

I.am.the.cure

Last Saturday was the annual Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk!! Every year I attend this walk and every year I am amazed at the amount of people that this tragic disease effects. This is something that is really close to me because even though i have never had someone in my direct life be so tragically effected from breast cancer, i have had people close to me that have had family members die or suffer from breast cancer and it is never something you want to see someone go through. I am convinced that getting the word out and making women aware is the cure, if you find out earlier the survival rate is astronomically higher then those that are uneducated and unsure how to diagnose the symptoms and get to the doctor early. As i was walking on Saturday i saw this young girl, probably around 15 yrs old and she was wearing a survivor T-shirt that said "who are you honoring? ME!" I couldn't believe this beautiful young girl has already experienced something so scary and tragic this early in her life, I couldn't help but wonder how happy and full of promise she must feel, and how i'm sure she will never take her life for granted after facing head-on a deadly disease. I couldn't help but think that because of events like the Susan G. Komen walk, young girls like her are getting educated and are able to know when something is not right with their own body early.

Direct in front center of this picture is some of the people that walked in the group with us!

Look at all the people waiting in line behind us right before the walk started.

 These are all the people waiting in line in front of us before the walk started

 My father-in-law John was the only one who made it out of bed to join me in the walk. (Joe=too tired, Thomas =too early, Dorothy =sick  ) But John did a great job and lasted the entire 5K. I was so proud of him!

 Some of the people we went with... From left: Kelly, Allison, Nanette, Me/Maddux, Alecia, Maria. Nanette and her sisters lost their mom to breast cancer.

 LOOK at the people on that hill in front of us during the walk....INSANE!!!!

 All the people behind us during the walk...it is said there was something like 500,000 people CRAZY!

Maddux came on the walk too and he LOVED it!! He wore his breast cancer bandanna and thought he had enough time to say "hi" to EVERYONE at the event haha funny dogie! :)
