Wishing that instead of going to work tomorrow..

.. I could pick something off of my adventure list. Maybe a couple somethings.. or three.

Is this the place I brag about my husband??

After a bad day, I came home to a surprise dinner around a campfire in our backyard.. all while watching the sunset. It erased everything bad that had happened to me that day and left me laughing and happy. I love that about Jared. How he has the ability to erase and always make me laugh. (thank you, mr.)

Happy list

Here is my happy list from last week & this week so far:

-grocery shopping with Jared
-new goals
-Jared & I waking up early to eat breakfast together before work
-making cookies at work.
-Cafe Rio (yum) and the Jordan River Temple to do sealings.
-playing and singing with baby Oaklee. "All the single ladies.."
-running into my sister in law, Jessica, at Coldstone.
-girls night with Meg and Chels! -Coldstone and talking for four hours! Sweet bliss...
-my nephew Kaden was being adorable on Sunday. "Do you want some cake, Sarah?"

-a visit from Che' and Jared.
-staying up until 2 AM with the Witt's playing games, laughing, and talking. Even though I worked the next day, it was worth it!
-Jared being so sleepy that he was talking jibberish.. Very amusing.
-seeing a beautiful rainbow on my way home from work.
-a girls night with Jill and Tenille to Barnes & Noble and Coldstone! (again!)

-my boss, the stand-up comedian.

and.. the happiest thing of all:

This week, I found out that three of my friends are expecting. (making my total number of friends expecting.. seven.) How exciting is that? :)

February Adventure

We came across this ice castle driving on a small road in Midway, UT and turned around to see what it was! We paid $2 admission & walked through. It was so pretty and also so bright! (My eyes could hardly handle it.) BEWARE: You must sign a wavier if you dare to enter! :)

Ten.der.

I don't even know these people but, my goodness.. This is the most adorable proposal ever..


Since I've been digging through the archives, here's a picture from the night that Jared proposed to me on a carriage ride downtown.. :)

Miracles

For the last few days: I've been thinking about miracles & the love of Heavenly Father.

I come across them everyday, really. Sometimes I just stare at the beautiful Utah mountains and think what a miracle they are.

I was reading pass journal entries, from a couple years ago.. reading about when my Aunt Deanne had her heart attack. (oh, it was so hard for us, our family.) So many little miracles amidst trial. So many angels.

I've been listening to a song called "No" by Cherie Call.

I've been reading two blogs written by women who have just lost their sweet husbands, and I can plainly see their faith and that the Lord is buoying them up as they grieve.

I saw this facebook status today: "Isn't it incredible how sometimes things just fall into place?"

& I knew exactly what she meant because, I think that to myself often.

and a few days ago, I told Heavenly Father in prayer that I know he is a God of miracles. I don't think I've ever felt the power of bearing testimony to the Lord in prayer. Bearing testimony of his power and infinite love and his plan for all of us, even if it's sometimes not easy.

(deep breath)

God listens to our prayers, he wants us to converse with him, and he loves us so much.
