Looking Back!

So today James and I have officially been together for 3 years. January 8, 2006 we went on our first date and 3 years later we're married. It's crazy to think we've been together that long it seems like just yesterday we met. I love James so much and I feel so blessed to have him in my life, he truly is my best friend. We were planning on getting married on our third anniversary, and it's crazy to think we've already been married for four and a half months! I just wanted to let James know how much I love him and how grateful I am for him!! It's been a very fun three years and I hope we have many many more to come:)

It's Time!

So James and I have officially decided that we are going to start trying to have a baby. We had tossed the idea around for awhile but now it is for sure. We know that we are both still young and we haven't been married for very long, but we definitely feel that it is the right thing for us right now! James and I dated for about two and a half years before we got married so we've had "our" time and it's now time for a family. Well I'll keep you posted on what happens:)

On the lighter side of life!

I was just reading through all my posts and I just realized how negative I sound in all of them. I want everyone to know my life really isn't that bad, I think when bad things are happening in your life it's hard to look at the good things you have to be grateful for! I do have many things to be grateful for and I would just like to let everyone know what and who they are!

1. First of all my husband James is the most amazing man I have ever known and he strengthens me everyday. He knows how to humble me when I think everything in life is going wrong! I love him so much and I appreciate everything he has done and continues to do for me. Hopefully he can put up with me for eternity:)
2. Also I have a wonderful family who supports me in all my decisions and is there for me when I make mistakes. They are my strength and I don't know what I'd do without them.
3. I want to personally thank my friend Sarah and tell her how grateful I am for our friendship. We lost touch with eachother for a few years but we were able to get together this last year and I am so thankful for that. I couldn't ask for a better friend and I don't know what I'd do without her friendship. We have so much in common and just have a blast together!
4. I have many other amazing friends who I am so grateful for and all the wonderful people in my ward, who are simply amazing!
5. I have good health, a house to live in, food to eat, clothes to wear and a wonderful husband and family, and that's more than some people so I feel that I am extremely blessed.

I think with last year just finishing out with the christmas season I was thinking alot about how much I have and I realized how much I take for granted! I truly believe the saying "you don't realize what you have until it's gone," I know that's how life is and I've seen that happen in my life and others lives. I was talking with my dad a little bit ago and he was saying how negative my blog was, and I decided that he was right so I've decided one of my many new year's resolutions is to try to see the good in life rather than the bad! I don't want all of you to think I'm a negative person because I'm really not. Well hopefully this year will bring many new and exciting things into all of our lives:)

Happy New Year!

First off I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year's and I hope everyone's Christmas was great! I'm a little late on the whole Christmas thing, it's just been kind of crazy around here so I haven't had the chance to sit down and blog. I sure hope this new year brings better things than last year! You know how everyone says In a marriage you're bound to have at least one bad year, well I definitely agree with that. Although we were'nt even married for a year, we had a rough first four months of marriage. Not because we fought all the time it was mainly financial problems and just the first parts of being married and all the responsibility it brings!

To start with many people thought that we were crazy to be getting married so young. So the whole wedding was a very stressful thing, but the wedding day was totally amazing! After the wedding my husband and I both had to find new jobs, and just let me say I'd rather go to the dentist and get a root canal then to do the whole looking for a job process, and to make things worse my husband makes me fill out all his applications I guess I have better handwriting:) Anyways eventually we found jobs that we both love thank goodness, but then was the issue of where to live. We lived with my sister and her husband for about a week and it didn't work out so we moved in with my parents. That was better but it's kind of stressful for all of us because we have my sister and her family living here too.

We've had some bad things happen to my family this year and there has definitely been disappointments, so I just hope this next year brings better things! I definitely think marriage is hard but it's so worth it. You have to work at it constantly and that is what I'm learning more and more each day. Well I hope everyone had a good year and here's to a new and better one!!
