Sometimes It's Okay to look back

you guys. i am going to be so freaking busy these next few days. blogging has definitely been pushed down on the priority list. shocking i know! haha! i decided to pull up some of my old post from way back when to give you something read. this was from may 2008

Beauty is...
...music
...nature
...laughter
...pregnancy
...lilies
...my sisters and mom
...virtue
...the ocean
...rainbows
...integrity
...sunset on the beach with my family
...having a butterfly land on you

Happiness is...
...friends
...puddle jumping
...cuddling
...hugs and kisses from friends and family
...trampolines
...choosing the right
...the color orange
...family dinners
...thunderstorms and then dancing in the rain
...fresh cut grass in the summer
...honesty
...slow dancing
...singing in the car
...finding a lucky penny
...hearing my family's testimonies

Peace is...
...the temple
...hiking
...writing in my journal
...watching the sun rise
...long walks by myself
...father's blessings
...knowing
...the gospel
...rain
...forever family
...knowing there is enough money in my bank account
...words of the prophets

Love is...
...my parents
...God
...pizza
...a shoulder to cry on (i miss my mom)
...understanding
...when my brother keeps looking through the blinds and tapping on the window because he doesn't like the boy I'm standing at the front door with.
...when my 5 foot 4 mom stands up to a 6 foot 4 man and chews him out for accusing me of being a liar
...when my sisters confide in me and I in them (S.O.S.)
...childbirth
...respect

3 years ago today

i fell in love with this man. 
i remember sitting on this bench waiting for him to bring me a snow cone and all of a sudden realizing that i was in love with him. and i told him so later that night. it was scary and exciting. 
three years and a baby later i am still so in love.
sorry for the bad facebook stolen photo. i wish i had the original. august 2009

Well hello!!!



oh man...it's been too long! we've been keeping busy. when we're not busy we're completely exhausted!  mick's oldest sister & family are in town visiting & his older brother & family just moved to utah so we've been having a lot of fun with hanging out with them! 

on monday mick's work had a company party at seven peaks water park. we had the whole park to our selves! it was so amazing! we had j dogs and went down many slides! so much fun! 

it's been decided that mick and i moved to the best neighborhood ever! they are party animals over here! on the third they closed off the whole block and had a block party. kenny literally ran into the town mayor. there was grilling, lots of food, fun contests, dancing, bouncy houses, and lots of people! on the forth they had a neighborhood firework display. then they closed the street off again and we watched the stadium of fire's fire work show. we had the most perfect view! i can't even get over how cool that was!  

it has been a fun week. i hear that there is a laser tag tournament at grandpa swenson's tomorrow night! HOLLA'!!!! this summer keeps getting better and better. with my brother's wedding and my sister's coming up next month, all these great boating days and getting to hang out with mick's family at lake tahoe in a couple weeks...i think i can definitely say that this is the best summer yet!

p.s. i just wanted to give a shout out to my newest readers! thank you so much for being here! i cannot express how much it means to have you all apart of this little blog of mine! i want to give a special shout out to my newest friend {Carissa}. she is a pretty dang amazing woman and i am so grateful for our new friendship and her kind words to me! i needed her. i was feeling a bit discouraged and she helped bring me out of my funk with her kindness!

okay, have a GREAT weekend!

WAIT! i also want to wish my sweet and beautiful sister nichole a happy TWENTY FIRST birthday! i can't believe how old we all are getting!
