Inspiration: Allie Wadsworth

I have a friend who has inspired me to be a better person in life. We haven't been the best of friends or even really close, but I still consider her a good friend. She has a 7th month old baby that was born at 1lb 4oz. She is such a great mom! I dont know anyone stronger than Allie. She has been through so much and is still willing to reach out and help others. I havent seen her or heard her complain about her hard times. She is a big role model to everyone! I just want Allie to know how much I look up to her! She is such an amazing mom and such an amazing person! Allie, dont listen to anything anyone says! You're an amazing women and Ivy is so lucky to have you as a mom! And Casey is lucky to have you in his life as well. Keep pursuing your dreams for you and Ivy! Love you Allie!!!

Family friends :)

One other thing I forgot to mention, we had my good family friend Larry Hill stay with us from Wednesday to Friday. I havent seen him since I was in the 9th grade. It was so nice to see him and catch us and spend some time together. He came all the way out from Washington state to visit my family in West Jordan first then came out to Vernal to look for a job and visit Tim and I. It was a great week to have him here with us. Miss Larry and his wife Joy a lot! I hope I can go visit them one of these days.

Great weekend :)

Well, its Tim's week off and this weekend we were able to spend some time together just us. 

Saturday we just hung out at home for a little bit, relaxed, cleaned the house, and then later that evening we went up to the flaming gorge area and went on a walk with max near a little fishing lake. It was beautiful and so peaceful. I love going on walks with my little family.

Here is us at the fishing lake.

Today (Sunday) we went to church, which is the the 3rd time we've gone together since we've been married. It was nice. Met some new people and just enjoyed the spirit there all together. After we just relaxed, made hamburgers for dinner, then went to the walking park with max and took an afternoon Sunday stroll. 

On our way to the walking park :)

I love spending time with Tim! Cant wait to have more fun weekends together :)

Mothers Day

This past weekend I wasn't planning on going out to Salt Lake to visit my mom for mothers day due to Tim's work schedule. He got called out to work Saturday morning so I decided to surprise my mom for mothers day by going out there without her knowing. It was probably the BEST mothers day present I could give her. This was a much better mothers day then last year and I am SOOOO grateful for my mom and everything she has done for me my whole life and especially this past year. She has been such a great example in my life and has always been there for me no matter what! I was so happy I was able to see her for mothers day this year. 

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!

And to my mother in law Cheryl, I just want you to know how much I love you as well! I know we don't live close and barely see each other, but I just want to say how much I appreciate you! You are such a wonderful women and I love that you take time to call me and see how things are going in my life. I cant wait to start making great memories with you throughout the years. Hope to see you soon! Love you!

I have the privilege to be the daughter/daughter in law to the most wonderful women in the world! I couldn't have asked for anyone better. They are the BEST! 

The most IMPORTANT thing in my life....FAMILY!

I just want to tell everyone how much I LOVE my family and how grateful I am for them! I dont know what I would do without them. Even though they live 3 hours away from me, they still take the time to talk to me by phone, text or over facebook just to see how I am doing. It sucks not being able to see my parents whenever I want or go see my nephews anytime I want, but it just makes the time I do get to see them more valuable and I makes me appreciate the time I get with them more.

Bailee, I just want you to know how much I love you! You are the bestest little sister anyone could ask for. I miss hanging out with you and talking about your boy problems with you. I am so proud of you for not letting anyone tear you down in high school. You are a great example to everyone! 

Dayna, I just want you to know how much I love you as well! You are such a great mom and such a great example to me! I look up to you a lot and respect you a lot! I hope I am as great of a mom as you when I start a family. Also, I am proud of you for getting your associates degree online while tending 3 or more kids plus your own. You have motivated me to get my schooling done as soon as possible!

Bryan, just want you to know I love you too! You're the coolest brother in law EVER! Thanks for always being there for me and looking out for me like a big brother! It means A LOT to me! Thanks for making my sister super happy and loving her! You're the BEST!

Mom, I love you more then you will ever know! I never tell you enough how much I look up to you and appreciate everything you do for me. You are the greatest mom in the whole world! Thank you for always believing in me when I didnt even believe in myself. Thanks for always having hope and faith in me. Without you I dont know if I would be where I am today. Thank you!

Dad, I love you! You're my greatest hero! I love how close we are! Thank you for always being there for me when I needed it the most. Thanks for loving me and accepting me even when I make mistakes. Thank you for believing in me as well. You're the best dad anyone could ask for! I LOVE YOU!

Hunter and Bridger, even though you cant read this, I want you both to know how much I love you. You boys are my best friends in the whole wide world. I just want you both to know how much your smiles, hugs, kisses, laughs and just personalities make me happy and make me feel loved. You are the sweetest little boys ever! I love you so much!

Tim, I just want you to know you are the most amazing husband in the whole world! Thank you for helping me get back on track and get to where I am today. Thank you for loving me even though I can be a pain. Thank you for always sticking by my side when no one else did. Thank you for making me the happiest girl alive! Thank you for caring for me and always being there for me when I need it most. Thank you for everything you do for me! And thank you for giving me a new amazing family!

As you all can tell, I love my family more than anything! I miss them more than anything! And hope to see them soon!!!!

9. netflix and blockbuster

i dont know what i would do without either of these....they keep me entertained while Tim is away on jobs.

10. maximus

11. my phone

without this i would go CRAZY!!! 

i love being able to call my mom when i have a question, having a hard time or just need someone to talk to.

last but not least.....

15. the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and the power of prayer

dont know what i would do without the gospel in my life. 

it has brought me the greatest joy and happiness in my life.

the power of prayer is what brought tim and i together and got us through all of the hard times we've experienced so far together.

Pretty much I am just a happy girl right now and grateful for a lot in my life.

Thank you Mikell Gordon for all of your wonderful blog posts that give me great ideas and inspire me!

Kinda sad...

Well.....its been 2 1/2 weeks since we got married and since I moved out to Vernal. I miss my family and friends and being able to hang out with them whenever I want. I have gone back to Salt Lake to visit them twice and thats still not enough. I am super close with my family and it SUCKS not being able to just go to my sisters house and hang out with my nephews whenever I want. BUT, I am super happy here with my amazing husband! On the plus side.....I start my new job on May 7th! I cant wait to finally start working and get out of this house! I am SO sick of being home all the time! It's driving me CRAZY! I dont know anyone out here yet and its super boring when Tim is at work. I am going to be going back to school in the fall as well so that will help out A LOT! Trying to keep myself busy! Well....thats my rant for the day! :)
