Happiest Day.

So... it has been awhile. Yep. Try a solid 10 months.
Life kind of happened, in the most unexpected, exciting way.
Do you remember that one time I started doing the challenge of 50 First Dates?
Some of you may know that I started dating a boy I met doing the 50 First Dates. You can read all about our first date {here}

I never, ever, ever would have thought that this   is the boy that I would end up with.

But Heavenly Father has a way of adjusting and tweaking our plans, don't get me wrong He likes us to make plans and have goals. But the big man always knows what is best and he will lead us down that path.

I have been fortunate enough, to date this guy for well over a year. Our first date was in May of 2012, I think that is when we started dating.. he begs to differ, he would say it was when we "officially" started dating, in September of that same year. 

Regardless of the amount of time, my heart is oh so happy that we did take that time to get to know each other. We have been through a ton and have been on so so many adventures together.

The loss of loved ones.

Some health scares (on my part)

Now I get to call this guy mine forever. I love him with a different kind of love, I didn't know I was capable of. It is an unconditional kind of love and I know that is returned 100-fold. I am so blessed to have him in my life, he makes me better, he knows me way to well, and he is my best friend.

So in just a few short weeks. I am going to change my name. And I couldn't be happier.

I am seriously, one lucky girl.

Crusin' 2013

I haven't posted for in forever!!!  I have been pretty busy and promise to update everyone soon-ish.  So, the first update I would like to share is of the cruise, I went to the Caribbean with my friend Alison and a BUNCH of other LDS kids... there was about 400 of us total in our group along.  Seriously so so so so much fun, if you are wanting to get away from the cold.  Go on this cruise.

So here are some of my top favorite pictures of the cruise, enjoy!!!

Guys, I country dance... super legit.

Yes.. a sweet little 12 year old wooed me into shopping where ever he told me too, little Oscar.

Alison was willing to give the goods to get a ring for a lot cheaper.... this is just one of 4 kisses, one of which, was almost on the lips.

Getting on the boat!!!!!  {Alison, Me, and Whitney, our other cabin mate}

Just so perfect.

Cowboys and Indian Night.

We were prepared to re-inact the sting ray photo bomb.. instead we got the picture below. 

Evidently, I truly am afraid of sting rays.

This has to be the most awful picture of the trip.  Definitely my favorite.  It looks like we saw a train wreck or just finished a triatholon.

Me, Alison, Springer, Whitney, and Ashtyn.

Dolphin kisses. Pure Joy. 

Snorkeling in the Grand Cayman Islands,  so attractive.

The beaches in Honduras.

I seriously love this place... miss it, going back so soon.  

80's Night

Loved this guy, he is a doctor, he started coughing so we thought we would help him.  He totally appreciated it. 

Circle chairs with our best friend Dusty.. so magical.  Favorite spot on the boat. EVER.

Cabin Mates, all together.
