An Engaging Day

Image
By
Two years ago the husband was the boyfriend.  He knelt down on one knee, gave me something sparkly and became the fiance.  It was a good day.  I reminded Danny of this momentous event last night while he tried to fall asleep and I chatted.  We reminisced of all that has occurred since that day we officially decided to become husband and wife.  When Danny got home today, he surprised me with these to celebrate our engagement anniversary.  How sweet.


We then went to Temple Square with Danny's family, while his parents are still in town.

The descendants of Hyrum Smith.
Danny and Me.
Then, to continue in celebrating of our engagement anniversary, we did a little shopping.  Danny was very patient while I tried on multiple options.  I know I'm a little behind since this style has been around for a bit, but I finally got the guts to buy skinny color jeans. 


PS... Danny has learned now that when my hair looks crazy, to tell me before we take the picture.  But never mind, I was so happy that night I didn't care.
A night to remember.

    Congrats on your engagement anniversary!!! We celebrate ours every year because it is easy to remember. (May 5th) Anyhow, I love your new colored skinny jeans! I'm not brave enough to wear any just yet. I stick with boring old blue. :) Nice pictures. Love y'all!

    Congratulations! I also love the skinny jeans (the color is fabulous). I'm still not past the jeggings craze (I they still in? I hope so, because I love them :)). Way to go on the lovely flowers, Danny!

    That rings a bell, "the husband falling to sleep while I chatted"! Thanks for coming to see us at Temple Square. I think your hair looks great.

    Firstly, love your purple jeans.

    Secondly, I think I told you my mom is descended from Martin Harris. So I just realized that means me and Danny's ancestors were probably basically all BFFs.

    You know, until that one little hiccup.

    Katie, first off, thanks. Second, BFFs for sure and your "little hiccup" comment cracked me up.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou
