Meet the Happy Couple

Sometimes people deserve a second chance :)

This was the 4th of July.

I started to see the change was real...

We had a lot of fun :)

He has definitely made some changes.

We went to Disneyland, went running on Corona Del Mar beach, went to the beach, went to church and shook hands with Elder Ballard, and then decided to leave it in fates hands on July 24, 2011.

We got to Las Vegas 30 minutes before the Courthouse closed Sunday night on the 24th of July.

Then we went over to the drive thru wedding chapel.

It was actually a nice place
The minister who married us talked about how it was a privilege for her because we are choosing each other again and now we know the grass is not greener over there.
She said this is true love :)
We got matching t-shirts.

At the hotel when we stepped out of the elevators, this is what we saw.

(pretty cool mirrrors, huh?)

I Love this guy! I am grateful for the chance to do this again!

Things have been really great! I am excited and we are having fun learning together again!

Fathers

(Please excuse my sorry attempt to rhyme, this is my heart feelings...))

As I sit here in church I feel him close to me.
So close in fact I have to dismiss myself to get some tissues.
I stepped outside to release some emotions...

I think of so many people on this day who are missing their fathers.
Some miss a father they never had.
Some miss a father they once called dad.
Some miss a father far greater than the rest,
they may feel they have wronged Him and he has left.

I KNOW our father in heaven loves each of us and Never leaves us!
I am thankful for this day, though it may be hard,
to reflect on the men who some discard.
I am thankful for the name my father left me
and for the man he showed faithfully.
He was not perfect by any means
but he was perfect just for me.
I love you dad!

Love your forever Roo!

St. Geo

Saint George, Dixie, St. Geezy, San Jorge, St. G, and The George,

I LOVE You!
I could die a happy woman any day now just because I am in your presence.
I AM HOME!
I love your freaking hot summer!
I love running the trails. Especially the ones by the river with the lizards, jack rabbits, ants, birds, and all the other little unseen creatures. I even saw a deer one day and a duck another.
I love it here!
I love to see the lit up "D" at night and the lights at the temple as well as the "DIXIE" lit up.
I feel at welcome and at peace in this place!

I LOVE ALL of my family here.
I love my cousins, who are some of my best friends.
I love that my kids get to have their cousins be some of their best friends.
I love to feel the sweat dripping down my back and get into a car that is blazing hot, because I have missed you town!
I like that I am now closer to all of my Cedar City friends.
I love that I will get to be here for Holidays and not have to travel to get here.

I have my dream job here working in a private practice.
I have fulfilled a life dream and now get to be here living this dream.
I hope this lasts forever!
I love my family!
I love the support and love I feel here.
The history. My history!
I love the mountains, red, black and gray.
I love the camping, the outdoors, the nature that is so beautiful.
Thank you for being here and being a strong home for me to come to.

Forever yours,
M-

Provo...

I'm not sure if it is correct terminology, but I am calling this post "Ode to Provo"...

Provo, I will miss you.

You were a huge part of my life.

You were with me through life changes I never imagined.

I will always have you in my memories.

I enjoyed hiking the "Y".

I enjoyed so many wonderful people.

I enjoyed learning in this cozy little bubble.

I enjoyed Seven Peaks in the summers and snow in the winters.

I enjoyed Professional experiences.

I enjoyed the fall colors.

I will miss the dear friends I made.

I will miss the random runners everywhere.

I will miss the cool shopping places you have.

I will miss all the BYU people.

I will miss my ward(s).

I will miss all the visitors, but know I'll have others in St. Geo.

I am grateful for all the opportunities you gave me.

I am grateful I was able to re-create myself.

I am grateful for even more understanding of GOD.

I am forever grateful I fulfilled one of my life dreams,

and became a therapist here.

I am grateful I was able to learn more about others.

I am grateful for my kids friends.

I am grateful for this time in my life

and Provo you served your purpose.

Thank you for everything.

Goodbye on Tuesday.

Just some babbling. I will probably revise this eventually... these are just my thoughts for now.

Spring Holidays

Well I never got around to posting St. Patrick's pics, or Easter pics and now Mother's day. So here they are :) Life is crazy, but still good!!!

Green eggs and french toast for breakfast.

Green pancakes and sausage for dinner.

I love breakfast foods!

Happy St. Pattys...

Then Easter baskets, hidden in the tub...

and in the dryer :)

Coloring Easter Eggs was fun!

And Finally the Sunday Easter outfits... :)

I love those Boys!!!

Mother's Day in St. G was fabulous!

These boys love the mother's in their lives.

Happy Mother's Day to two outstanding Mothers and Amazing grandmothers!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day in St. G!

I Love the heat and I love my family!!!

These boys teach me SO much!

I am so thankful to be their mother and go through this life with them!!!

less of me :)

I have been dying to tell someone this, but I don't wanna brag or seem like a show off, so I'll put it on my blog... :)

It has been a year since I graduated, and after graduation I got a job in a career that was all about others. The focus was more on them and less on me :) well I lost almost 40 lbs in 9 months, less on me, right?

I never took any measurements or before and after pics cuz I wasn't really concerned and besides the fact that I feel more healthy, I feel the same, I feel like I look the same, not prettier or smarter, still just me.

So the point I'm getting at is... I started training with a trainer at the gym with a friend cuz she wanted me to, and of course we took measurements and body fat etc. Well the results are cool. In the last 3 weeks I have lost over 3 inches and 1.5% body fat. Cool, huh? Less of me :).

Funny

David and I were talking about his teachers today and he asked about some of mine from Elementary school... then he said "are they all dead?"

Silly son, I'm not that old!!!
