About Me

I'm a mother of four girls and one boy and I've got the greatest husband in the world-and I'd bet the farm on that one. We're a great team although he says he's moving out of the house as soon as all our girls are teenagers. We're very strong in our religion which is in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I draw strength from my religion and my family. I love life and am grateful to be surrounded by such great family and friends. I am gently reminded daily of the love and blessings that our Heavenly Father has for us. I live the life I always dreamed of having. I don't know how I was so blessed. Sometimes I feel undeserving to have the perfect life I always wanted. But I'm not complaining! I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Life goes up and life goes down, but even during the lowest so far, I'm still happy. Still know that I will have my family forever. Still know that my husband adores me and I him. Life is so good.

Tagged Again...

I guess it's a good thing I'm such an interesting person. lol
Thanks to my good friend Lisa you all get to learn a little bit more about me.

How long have you been together? It will be 7 years this September. Yeah-Lucky number 7!
How long did you date? Before we were engaged or married? We dated 1 1/2 months, got engaged then got married 1 1/2 months after that. It was 3 months total-to the day! June 8th to Sept. 8th
How old is he? 28 although I wish he were older so my kids would stop making fun of me. "You're older than dad!" they keep reminding me.
Who said ‘I love you’ first? Aaron did. I think I said "thanks". My "I love you" wasn't far behind though.
Who is taller? Aaron, by a foot.
Who is smarter? I'd have to say he is because he married me! :) He probably really is smarter than me, he graduated from college and I didn't. Not yet anyway. He's very smart at figuring things out like sudoku. He likes math and I like english.
Who does the laundry? Me, although once in a blue moon (every 4 years or so) Aaron will throw a load in. Especially if I haven't done whites for a while!
Who does the dishes? Me again but occasionally he'll load the dishwasher. He does rinse his cereal bowl out every morning though.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Depends, if you're at the foot of the bed looking at it then it's Aaron. However if you're actually in the bed then it's me.
Who pays the bills? I used to until we bought a ton of houses, now he does it all. Ever since our second year of marriage I think he's done it.
Who mows the lawn? Well, when we happen to live in a house that actually has a lawn then Aaron does. I think I mowed it twice in Ogden. As a side note- Don't mow in cream colored pants!!
Who cooks dinner? Me most of the time. However he's been cooking this amazing lemon/garlic chicken on the grill lately and I'd love to let him just have that job.
Who is more stubborn? Neither one of us really. It just depends on what. We pretty much agree on just about everything so it's easy.
Who kissed who first? Aaron FINALLY kissed me. Just kidding babe. I don't remember the day but I do remember I was right in the middle of a sentence. I was talking about cavemen dragging their women around by their hair. (Don't ask me why) It was a sunday and we were watching 'A Walk in the Clouds' obviously we weren't paying attention to it though.
Who asked who out? Aaron asked me out (he didn't know my name or number and put in a lot of effort to find me. That's a whole other story.)
Who proposed? He did at Bear Lake in front of his whole family. It wasn't a planned thing. He didn't have the ring or anything. He just felt like he should do it and Ryan helped with encouragement. (Thanks again Ry- I still think I should've name a kid after you!) The ring came a couple of weeks later when we went to the temple together. I think that's when I finally SAID yes too. The first time he only got two thumbs up- I was too emotional to talk.
Who is more sensitive? Actually I'm gonna have to say Aaron is. He's real sentimental and romantic and I'm not, usually. If he forgot my birthday or our anniversary I don't think it'd even phase me. I don't get bent out of shape over things like that.

So now I tag Gabrielle, Alyson, Jessica, Staci, Heather and Jane Ellen. Have fun!
