Happy Anniversary!!






Two years ago was the best day of my life!! I was able to be married for time and all eternity to the most amazing man ever! It was the perfect day! I was so nervous the day before our wedding. Jared and I had a ton of stuff that needed to be done so I got up and texted him and received a text back saying Babe I've got some bad news.. I think I have the flu. I thought he was teasing but after going to his house and seeing how sick he really was I was devastated and convinced he wouldn't make it to our wedding the next day (i'm convinced he got food poisoning from his bachelor party the night before, ha ha). I rode to Salt Lake with my parents and we stayed in our condo which is right across the street from the temple. My sweet mom ordered chinese food and we did manicures and pedicures. I went to bed that night still super worried about Jared but hoping for the best! The next morning I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep, I was so excited!! I called Jared who reported that he was feeling much better! I started getting ready and had Cami do my hair and by then Jared and his parents were at our condo. We all walked over to the temple together. It was such an amazing feeling to have my mom and mother in law helping me get ready to be married and sealed to Jared. I got ready and met Jared and we sat with each other in the celestial room until our sealer came and got us. He led us to our sealing room and I was amazed at all the friends and family that were there for us. We knelt across the altar and were sealed for time and all eternity! AMAZING!! After that my mom helped me to get ready to go out for pictures. Jared had never seen my wedding dress. He was old fashioned and said he didn't want to see it until we were married and he couldn't really see what it looked like in the temple. When we met up to walk out together the look on his face was priceless and I'm so glad we waited for that. We then walked out to meet our families and took a ton of pictures. Our wedding luncheon was at Chuck a rama because we had so many people. Jared was still nervous to eat anything and so many people wanted to talk so we didn't have much time to eat. I thought we would have tons of time that day but it seems like we were in a rush to get everywhere on time! After the luncheon we met our families at Tuscany gardens for pictures and our reception. I LOVED my reception!! It was so low stress! We went there a couple times before and picked out colors, food, cake, flowers and music. We got a ton of comments about our cake and flowers! The night went by too fast and before we knew it it was time to cut the cake and time for our first dance. We finished up the night in a limo taken up to a condo in Wolf creek. It was the perfect day and I married a man that was perfect for me! We have done so much in two years!! WE: bought a car, bought and remodeled our house, got a dog (soon to be two), both finished up associates degrees, both got into our programs at Weber, both got jobs at Davis, gone to Mexico, gone on mini vacations, and are both still madly in love with each other! Everyone tells me now that we hit the two year mark that the honeymoon is over but I can only see it getting better and better!! Thanks for the best two years of my life Jared!! I love you more than anything!!

The Crazy month of July!!

For some reason July always ends up being the busist month of the summer!! I love it but it makes the summer fly and we have to go back to school in a month :( We have been busy hanging out with family and working. I'm so proud of my hubby, he got hired on at the same hospital as me so he has been working a lot too. We've had a lot of fun so far and still have the Samson family reunion and our anniversary to look forward to!
We started out the month with celebrating the 4th of July. I had to work until 7 and then we went over to the Stokes' and hung out with family, ate good food and watched fireworks.



Jared wanted me to come and get some pictures of him and his dad hauling hay. I never knew my handsome husband was a farm boy at heart.

Ang and Bronner

I absolutely love this picture of Jared and his dad!!

My sweet mom decided to take my grandma, Cami and me on a trip to Oregon. There is a big outdoor quilt show in Sisters Oregon every year and she wanted my grandma to go to one. She rented a SUV and we made the long trek across the ugly part of the state. We spent a lot of time in the car sewing, reading and listening to the hunger games (again!!). It was so nice to have just the girls and be able to stop whenever we wanted and to shop for as long as we wanted! I brought home a bunch of new projects that I am so excited to get started on!! It was a quick but such a fun trip!!

Me and Jare went to classic waterslides with Ang, Darce and the kids. I seriously have THE cutest nieces and nephews!!


Last friday we ran the first ever Legacy midnight run. We ran the 10k and the goal of the race was to beat the midnight hour. The girls were only 3 minutes off but the boys beat it. We ran with glowsticks and had so much fun! Jared and Abby got 3rd in their age divisions. Mont got 2nd in his and 4th overall. My Jare took 10th overall. He's turning out to be quite the runner!

After the race we spent the night in Salt Lake and went to the farmers market and shopping at the gateway


Jare and I went to Clinton days with the Buehlers and watched the boys ride rides and watched fireworks.


I took a drive up to Logan the other day and met Jess for lunch. We've been friends since we were teeny. We were born 10 days apart and grew up in the same ward and went to the same schools. Her hubby plays basketball professionally so they are only around during the summer and I knew I needed to take advantage and see her. She just had a baby and he was so cute and sweet! It was so nice to catch up!

After lunch with Jess I went and saw another old friend that lives in Logan. Sorry Britt I didn't get any pictures but we had a nice chat! It's so fun to get together and see how much has changed!
