from then till now...

Alright. blogging is not for me.

I just lost all of my work because i pushed backspace. DO NOT PUSH BACKSPACE. So here goes the condensed version of the time after Trenton got home until now...

-I finished my semester of college and got out for winter break.
-LOVED being home in the same town as Trenton.
-Decided to head to St. George even though Donna Harper (if you don't know her you most likely will in the future) Called and told us not to because of the horrible weather.
-The drive was nuts but we survived.

We loved it there! We went on hikes, swam, ate delicious food, went golfing, ohh.... 

And we got ENGAGED! Most people would think i knew it was coming becuase I waited for him on his mission and blah blah blah. But here is the thing about Trenton. He is a REALLY good liar. Great quality huh? That's why i married him. Okay he actually does have much better qualities but this one comes in handy way too often.
So here's how it went down. Condensed version of course...

 The night before we got engaged I had a little dream. A dream that we got engaged. CREEPY i know. I woke up that morning looking for the ring on my hand and it was nowhere to be found. After a few minutes i realized that was just and dream and i was not engaged...real bummer. I told Trent about it later that day when i remember and he kind of brushed it off and said...that's weird. We'll i don't pick up on much so i forgot about it and got pumped to go on a little picnic with our best friends....Here is Trent on our way to the picnic....

Our fun little signature jump...and our really cool friends.

 So our picnic was delicious and we decided to go climb the fake narrows to watch the sunset together. We got there and Cristine awkwardly explained that we couldn't be in the same place and her and Jason took off. Again, I'm not too quick so i thought fine...we will have fun on our own! I waited for like 3 years while Trenton was fumbling around in the back seat of the car for a "granola bar" and then we set off to find a great spot. The ring box was bulging out of his pocket but did i notice? No. I'm that cool.








 We found our spot and it was GORGEOUS. Trent started talking about how lucky we were and kept going on about how much fun we have together and how much he loved me. I kept agreeing and looking on..thinking nothing of it because he is always talking like that....then he gives me a hug. I'm enjoying the moment and then BAM...he pulls out a ring! and I said........

ARE YOU SERIOUS???

Yup, he was. I just wanted to make sure. I said yes like I was supposed to because he reminded me that I hadn't and we cried...a little.

 Okay so I cried a lot.

 But after the crying was over we were PUMPED!!!!!!!!

Then Cris and Jason showed up and it all made sense! We ended our wonderful day with Nielson's Frozen Custard and that topped off the BEST DAY EVER...until July 22, 2011 of course.

I'm not sure why but having the ring on and being engaged made me feel different. A GOOD different. A peaceful different.

On our way home from St. George our friend Jason told us that he was going to ask Cristine to marry him. I wanted to jump out of the car and run back to Cris and tell her because she wasn't sure he was ready and it was really hard for her. But i kept my composure and held it in so she could be surprised. The days that Cris and I had been waiting for and dreaming of for 3 years together telling each other it wouldn't happen for both of us and we were going to be so happy for the other when it happened for them...were actually happening...for both of us. 

Then the wedding madness began, no not just mine...but my sisters & my best friend's wedding. All within 1 month of each other. CRAZY.

the beginning....

So here we are...Trent & I decided to start a blog mostly for a family home evening idea that we could do every month..(one less idea to come up with right!) but we really want to create a digital history of our lives so that our children can see pictures, stories, and other fun stuff from our lives before they were born and while they are growing up! Of course, this is all assuming that we have children...hopefully that comes a little in the future but we are loving our life right now as it is! Over the past couple of weeks we keep saying oh we should put this or that on our blog and it didn't even exist yet. So I figured first things first, create the blog. I feel like i've accomplished a lot in life so far as far as blogs go anyways...I wrote my life history and put it up as a blog. That took forever so I decided I wouldn't wait until I was 80 to write the life histories of Trenton and I. I would start TODAY! So...from this point forward is our history....seems a little backward but you get the point! :)
