The Most Marvelous Mother

I know this post is about two weeks late, but I just want to let everyone know how much I love my mother. If I had to pick only a couple words to describe her I would say patient, selfless, and amazing! Just a couple really cool things about her: As a child she would always make sure that our hair was done really nice before we went anywhere (which I probably didn't care about then, but not as a semi-parent I think it is awesome). She would always have a delicous homemade dinner for us when we got home from school or sports practice. She earned her Young Womens Recognition when she served in the Young Womens because she converted in her late teens and didn't get a chance. She is an amazing photographer. She comes into my class every Friday to help me with the arts and crafts, plus she is like our classroom photographer! I love you so much mom. Thanks for being so wonderful!

Our Sweet Annabelle

Our precious baby was finally able to go back to our Heavenly Father this past weekend. We think that she passed away Thursday, April 27. I delivered on Saturday, May 1st at 1:03 pm. She weighed 1 pound 11 oz and was 13.2 inches long. I was 34 weeks pregnants and the ultrasound tech said that she was measuring 24 weeks and 5 days. The docotor and nurses said that they have never seen everything go so smoothly. This was honestly the most amazing experience I have ever been through. As soon as she was delivered I felt so happy and peaceful. We are so grateful for all the blessings that came with this trial so we just wanted to share a few thoughts with you.
We feel so privileged and grateful to have been able to go through this experience with our daughter Annabelle. We truly feel as though we have been prepared for this for months through prayer to our Heavenly Father. We know that He is the reason we are able to deal with this so well. He has continued to give us strength and comfort from the first sign of something being wrong up to today. Something else that makes this experience less painful is knowing that we will be able to be with our daughter again. We do not look at this as a loss, rather a short delay to the happiness of being together one day. So many good things have come from something that seemed so devastating: we have received much love and support from friends and family; prayers, thoughts and service towards us has been an overwhelming blessing; and we get to see the good in all the people around us. We thank each and every one of you for giving us that blessing.
We know that Heavenly Father will not test us beyond that which we can handle. He knows us so very well. When we put our trust and faith in Him, He blesses us. We are grateful for the experience to grow closer to our Heavenly Father and to our friends and family.

Brett's New Love Affair

It's all he thinks about, talks about, dreams about, and does...Mountain Biking! I am so glad that Brett has found a new hobbie, but if I ever want to see him again it looks like I am going to have to take up mountain biking as well. I was able to go out with him last Friday and get some good pictures. The biking part of it looked really fun, but hiking up the VERY steep hill to get to the top was not so much fun. Anyway, here are some fun pictures of him.

We Love Family

This week was spring break for me and it was so nice to get a break from school! On Wednesday my mom, my sister Melanie, and my two nieces Madyson and Kylah, and I went to go visit Kimberly in Wenatchee. We had such a fun time with each other. We took a walk, played at the park, played games, had facials, decorated easter eggs, and watched movies. As always Kimberly was a great host and cooked us some amazing food. The only thing missing was our sister Whitney. But it was so great to have a little girls day!

The Best Two Years

Well, I have never served a mission so I can honestly say this has been the best two years of my life. Brett and I just celebrated our two year anniversary on March 22! Every year we take turns with who is going to be in charge of our anniversary and who is going to be in charge of Valentines, because they are so close to each other. This year Brett was in charge of our anniversary and he did a great job. He started the day with a candlelight breakfast, which was so fun. Then when we got home from work he took me on a picnic at the park. He made a slideshow on his compture to present his gift to me. It was SO cute. I honestly don't know how I got so lucky. What other guy would willingly do my laundry every week, make our bed every morning, cuddle with me every morning and night (even though it means he can't sleep), write me cute emails all day long, open my door every time we get in a car, watch all the corny annoying shows with me (like 90210 and dancing with the stars), and happily listen to me complain about being fat and not being able to fit into anything, then afterwards telling me that I am beautiful and skinny. I love him so much and am so excited for the rest of eternity with him!

I know, you are thinking he is also a great photographer!

I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!!

I just needed to give a little shout out to my amazing husband. He does such a great job of trying to make me happy. Yesterday was my birthday and he did everything he could to make it the best day for me. First of all he puts so much time and thought into the presents he gets me. Then he does little sweet things all day to make me feel so special. He is an amazing support and such a joy in my life. I am so grateful to have this handsome guy as my eternal companion.

Pretty Princess Birthday

I was very suprised this morning with a Princess Birthday party put on by my friends and family! I was so shocked (obvisouly because I hadn't showered or had any makeup on, so pretty much looked disgusting) and so happy to see all my family and friends from church. We took a princess quiz, which I failed but my sister Melanie won only missing one questions. Then he played kiss the frog on the lips! What a fun idea. I am so grateful for friends and family and everything they do for me. Thank you so much to all of you who had a part in it.
