Past, present and future

Over the weekend, Jake had planned a wonderful date for the two of us. He had planned it around all of our firsts and fun things we did when dating. The first restaurant we went to. First movie we had watched together. Taking a little trip to Ikea where we would always meet while dating. Going up to the Draper Temple where we were sealed for time and all eternity.

My favorite was when we came home and both pulled out our boxes of letters we had written to each other. We sat on our bed and just read them back and forth, saying things like "did I really write that? Wow I have pretty good handwriting! Wow that was when I was a missionary...etc" Even now Jake will write me a little letter and I love spending my time reading every little word he writes to me. It was such a fun date, remembering all the fun times we had while dating and getting to know each other. This then brought us to thinking about the present. Thinking how we loved each other a lot back when we were first married and how much that love has grown today. How we love spending time with each other. Life at the present is good. Amazing actually. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Now I don't like to look too much into the future, future plans etc, but I am really excited for our future together. All the wonderful trips we will take and all the memories we will make together. I can't wait to pull out those letters again when we are cute old people!

Date night

 I love date nights with my hubby. 

We are pretty goofy.

Laughter

Can I just tell you how much fun I had last night? So I went on a date with a giant. Seriously this kid is so tall! I was semi okay with my height until I stood next to him.

I maybe go up to his shoulders. Maybe.

We went to Comedy Sportz and if I may say, it was the best one I have been to so far. The players were hilarious and everything they said was really witty. Definitely a good night to go.
I laughed so hard I'm pretty sure I had a six pack by the end of the show. We talked, found out more about each other, conversation flowed great, he was great. Did I mention he is going into dentistry? Likes to cook? Likes to read? Play games? Plays the piano? Has a great singing voice? Is very smart? Loves to play any sport and be outdoors? Great smile? We have a lot of things in common including music taste including dislike of country music, being the oldest, the fields that we are going into.....seriously. It's crazy. I just sat there and thought...geesh who are you?! Perfect guys like that don't exist or are very hard to come by. If only I were a good couple inches taller! I do love my heels, but I love my flats a tad bit more. Well after Comedy Sportz, we came back to my place where we made Skookies, not pizookies, yes there is a difference, with a couple of other people. The Skookies were ah-mazing! After that, we played games, and laughed our heads off till about 1 in the morning. Do you know how long it's been since I have stayed up that late before? Long time. It was such a fun date!

Weekend and Mother's Day

Well despite being by myself for five days I was able to have a little bit of fun. Pilot man and I went on a hike and was able to see some very pretty sights. We didn't quite make it to the top of our hike because we reached snow. Yep. Snow. But it was fun! I love being outside and the fresh air was wonderful.


Then after that I headed home! Finally! I was in some desperate need of some social interaction and my family did just that. Megs loaded me up to my hearts desire of Broadways and Natalia and I attempted to watch the many episodes of Bones that had been recorded. Mother's Day was very nice indeed. The family and I got up to go see Mom at the Music and the Spoken Word and then walked around Temple Square to look at all the pretty flowers. Truly that ground is sacred because those tulips are huge! The weather couldn't have been more perfect. I'm so grateful for my mom and all that she does for me. I only wish I can grow up to be more like her! Now I just have to survive a couple more weeks here up in Ogden. It makes me sad that I will be leaving...but excited at the same time!

A day of fun!

I hurried to drop my little cousin off to her soccer game, and rushed back to the apartment to get ready and to make sure the apartment looked decent. He was coming up so I could show him around Ogden. I had the whole day planned with a bunch of fun things and I was hoping that everything would just fit together perfectly and that it would be really fun. He got here and we left to go drive around town. We stopped by the "happening place" where they had the indoor surfing and skydiving where we watched a couple of people take a hard biffing trying to surf. Haha we both got a kick out of that! Later we drove down to the Union State where we ate at the Union Grill. Fantastic. Food was great. Conversation was great. So far so good! Then we walk up and down Historic 25th street for a little bit, went into the cute little bike shop and a couple of antique stores, then we left to meet a bunch of people to go ice blocking! Ice blocking was a huge hit! By the end we were going down the hill backwards and making a train with everyone going down the hill. I biffed a couple of times and got a nice grass stain right on my left cheek...very attractive! After ice blocking we came back to the apartment, got changed, had dinner and left for the WSU vs Dixie football game. It was our homecoming game and needless to say...we killed them! There were fireworks afterwards which are always fun to watch. After the game, we came back to the apartment, ate dessert and played a couple of intense games of Spoons! It was his first time playing the game, but he caught on pretty fast! Everything went great and he had such a great time! I did too!
