Scars and Stories

February 7th will be our 3rd Anniversary.. Turns out that it will also be the day that my favorite band is coming out with their new CD! What a perfect anniversary gift! (Jared) Too easy! (Hint) If a person were to include that CD with some roses, that just might be the perfect anniversary gift!


Alright.. Enough hinting. Hopefully that will do the trick.

The Fray speak to my heart in a way no other band has.. Their lyrics have gotten me through my most difficult times. Their songs have been sung and sung in the car with my girlfriends. On my 19th birthday, I sat front row at their concert. Oh, Fray.. I can’t wait..

Oh yes, also.. 3 years!? Wahoo! ;) I just booked our anniversary getaway!

Two.

On the 7th, Jared and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary and it was a perfect day. I was planning on making a delicious breakfast for Jared but, slept in until 8:00. We layered our clothes (6 shirts, 3 pants), got all of our snowboard gear ready, had a romantic breakfast from the McDonalds drive-through (egg bagel for him, McMuffin for me), and headed up the canyon.

I claimed to be a snowboarding pro when trying to get Jared to look my way and ask me out.. (it worked) But now, I can't help but feel so nervous every time we go! My confidence is no more. Maybe it's because I don't go up weekly like I use to with my friend, Chelsie... Maybe it's because I'm just not that good! But at the end of the day, I was pretty proud of my S-curves, little (tiny) jumps and not falling more than 3 times! :) It was such a great day snowboarding.

 I am so grateful I was able to spend the day with my sweetheart. I can't believe we're in our 3rd year of marriage!! It has been a fun adventure and we have definitely learned and have grown a lot. I can't wait to see what the future holds for year 3. Happy Anniversary, Mr!

the love month

(flowers from Jared on our first anniversary)

Of all the months I dreamed of my wedding, I wouldn't have guessed February. (May, June.. October, yes please!) But, that October date was looking too soon for my liking and I was determined to take my sweet time. Thus, the month of love is the month we got married and I am so excited it is here! I am counting down the days until our 2nd anniversary!

My goal for February: take pictures!

I believe the only picture I took in January was of one sunset. January always does that too me.. February will be a month of pictures, I'm determined! I get so antsy when I'm not creative and not documenting our life.

Some other things to look forward to this month:

-P & P's baby blessing

-Valentine's Day

-spending time with old friends
-a visit from Airwoman Shay and Kristie

-Sister Penny comes home from her mission!

Happy February!

Tulips & jelly beans

To start our anniversary weekend:

Thanks, Jelly Bean. (Remember when we first started dating and I called you "jelly bean"? Who knows why..) xoxo.

Dear Jared,

Thank you for being so kind to everyone you meet.

Thank you for loving my family so much.

Thank you for believing in me and in all of my dreams.

Thank you for making me laugh.

Thank you for comforting me on bad days.

Thank you for giving me kisses whenever I want. I know I'm needy.

Thank you for letting me paint the kitchen yellow.

Thank you for a wonderful first year of marriage. It wasn't always easy but, it is so very worth it.

Happy Anniversary, Mr. I love you and I am over-the-moon excited for the rest of forever.

Love, Mrs.

yes, please!

With our one year anniversary coming up, I can't help but dream of staying in this romantic treehouse. (but, oh.. can you imagine the price?) To see more pictures, go to Joanna's blog.
