Wonderful, Crazy life!

Well Jess's wedding was yesturday!!
It went great! She was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!
The day started out kinda sad, we woke up to a call from Ty's Dad saying his Grandpa Bob passed away. We were expecting it, he hasnt had good healthe for a year or more now.
He went through alot!!! It was hard knowing the suffering he was going through. Even though
I didn't see him these last few weeks where he was really not doing so good, I know what its like.
I wish I could have seen him again, but life is life. After watching Dad go through what he did, I
understand it a lot more. I wouldn't wish it upon my worse enemy. But its good to know he isn't suffering anymore!
Ty & I were recalling memories as we layed in bed till we HAD to get up and get ready for Jess's wedding. For those who don't know him, just a litle background; Over the past few years he's had both legs amputated. Due to gang-green and other illnesses. So he was in a wheel chair. We've all seen someone in that situation. However, normally Grandpa Bob was over 7ft tall! So he was shorten'd ALOT. ANYWAYS-
Ty was telling me how when he was younger they would go camping as a family, and his g-pa has a trailer, they would sleep in that and in the mornings he would open the top hatch for some cool air to come in. Then he would go outside and scream like tarzan to wake them all up!!! LOL. Anyone who knows him would think that was hillarious! He has struggled being in a wheelchair. He would do ANYTHING to get his legs back.
He has wanted to pass away for a long time now, his wife passed away some years ago. So we were laughing that the first thing he probably did was Jump Up, Run Around, Screaming like he was tarzan! :) It's comforting to know he is now whole!!

Jessica got married in SLC temple. It was beautiful as well. I love going there, its so pretty and unique. But it was also fun cause Elder Rector married them. Which he married Ty and I! He is a great man! I love gettging to be around him! It always make me happy to get to see him. He is a cherished friend! He has helped me to understand a lot of things in life & taught alot about life. He is basically amazing. But the spirit that was there was really strong. Jess and Josh will do good together! They were both so excited and so ready for it to happen! The ring ceremony and all went good too! It was a long day but fun to get to see old friends and participate in Jess's wedding! Her family is like family to me, so its fun to hang around them. For me I was a younger one in a family with 9 kids, She is one of the oldest. So its fun to see kinda how it might have been for my older siblings.

Today Ty and I are both working, tired but moving! Besides the day old make up (I was exhausted and totally slept in), blisters on my toes & gross hair. Its been a good day. lol
Going home to shower, straighten up and pack up! It will be nice to get away for a long weekend with the family. Celebrate Grandpa's Life!! Have a good Wednesday Everyone!

Going through some photos...

I was going through pictures and these stuck out to me today!
















Ty & I's first christmas! :)

Kenyon & I in England! He tried to throw me in the COLD ocean after this.

These are lions on the joseph smith memorial building. April was teaching Ty some in's and out's of photography and her camera. :) I like it a lot!

Dad's grave last fall. I really like the wreathe on it now, we put it up Sunday! *MOM said that her top priority now is to get the headstone. Watch for it coming to a grave near you... spring 2010! :) -Mom I had to put it! FUNNY story behind that phrase. lol!

This one explains itself. :) Happy Day!

This was a tree that is out infront of the Rexburg temple. One day while waiting for Ty to get out of class I was taking pics. I love it. So pure and white! -It was 10 am and still -6 outside!!

The Green Belt in IF. They have a trail that goes all the way around this area of the River & the Falls. We often would go walking there. When we were dating and would go up to IF we would ALWAYS go there, every time. The IF temple is right there too, its very pretty any time of year!

This was my halloween costume from last year! A lady bug! haha.

One of our engagements... I just love it. :)

Today, Yesterday and the Day Before!

So today I like this from the book Strangling your Husband is Not An Option.

" In your marriage, you must choose to be a partner in the marriage relationship- not a limited partner, not the general partner, but a full and active equal partner...
"One full partner with one full partner equals true one-ness in the marriage...
"This is the doormat principle. If a spouse (usually the wife) chooses to be a doormat- that big fat sero- the relationship will be a big fast zero as well. Do not become a doormat spouse! Do not be dependant, apologetic, weak-willed nonpartner. This is crucial for a wife. Men do not feel good about themselves when you let them be overly controlling. And they have no respect for you. A good relationship cannot result...
" The best wife is a true person... She develops own unique gifts and abilities and is constantly evolving and growing... If we make effort to truely value ourselves, nothing can stand in the way of our developing into not only a great wife nit a great woman as well. One of the great mistakes wives make is to stop growing. "


I really like that cause we do need to be continually growing and increasing our knowledge and skills. I really like the way she put it!

Well we went camping and FROZE our behinds! It was fun though and we enjoyed hanging out with Kenyon and Jeannette and Karl and Kendrea! I'll get some pictures posted soon!

Saturday Ty also helped me with cleaning our house! It wasn't disguisting but it needed some cleaning! We did the blinds, fans, bathroom, floors, I detailed the kitchen and all. It's SOOO nice to go to sleep and wake up with a nice clean house! :) Then Sunday I relaxed and caught up on much needed rest! :) Hope you all are doing great!

It says "I may not strangle my husband"... :)

So this past few weeks have been kinda crazy. I started working full time (between 2 jobs) and work late 3 days a week and I seem to be exhausted every day! haha. I know I am not a lone.
But for Ty and I this is new stage in life. First part of our marriage I didn't work. Ty worked and was in school. Then we moved and I was working and then Ty was at home doing shool. Then he got a part time job and I was just working part time. So we spent a lot of time together. It was nice and we work very well together when we spend a lot of time togther. So then last week I started working 5 days a week, and Ty was working 4 or so days a week. AnYwAyS- Long stupid story...short. I was feeling overwhelmed and was bottling it all up. Frustraited over stupid little things and I was moody and PMS'ing. To say the least. I was chatting with my sister and kinda telling her (not everything cause it's not everyones business, lol) but she said that it was just a new stage in marriage and evreyone goes through similar stages. I was feeling bad because I hadn't ever been so frustraited with things like that before. SO- I was walking by our bookshelf the other day and I Ty has our books arranged by Topic. So I just happend to glance at the "marriage" section and we have a few we had gotten for our wedding and such. So this one caught my eye. "Strangling Your Husband Is NOT an Option" and I remember getting it and kinda thinking "Great people already think were going to have problems in our marriage" haha. lol So that day it kept coming to mind. So the next day I finally picked it up one morning after Ty had left for work AND I didn't want to put it down! It is a GREAT book! It's not what you think it would be. It goes through duties as a wife and how to better ourselves and overall goal is improving your marriage. But I really like it cause it takes it from the Prophets point of views. It's not sitting there telling you to do this and do that and what your doing wrong. But suggests to read through the stories and serts from talks ect. and to listen to ponder and listen to the spirit on things you can do for your situation. One thing I really like that it hit upon was not to take your spouse for granit... That after time you just go about day by day and the same thing. You need to keep working at it and do the things you did when you were dating. Keep that spark alive. Just cause your married doesn't mean you have to stop flirting and getting excited to spend time with your spouse and all. I've heard these things a lot in my life and now more than ever they ring true. Its so easy to get caught up in the day to day and taking care of kids and work and just come home and expect your spouse to just make you happy or whatever. You need to do your part too and even if your spouse isn't responsive at first if you keep doing those things they will pick up on it. It's a good book, I think every wife needs to read it! :) I love being a wife and I'm realizing that there is nothing in the world to prepare you for it! You just have to keep working at it and when you know your self isn't perfect, you can't expect your spouse to be either! But yeah anyone can bowrrow it when I'm done! lol

There is my post for the week! Hope your all doing good and enjoy your weekend! Were off to camp for the night with Kenyon and Jeannette and Karl and Kendra! Going to be fun!
