Anniversary

So I haven't blogged in a few days because my sweetie took me away for our anniversary.  He sure did spoil me and I had a blast with him!  Friday afternoon we headed down to Salt Lake.  We checked into our hotel, the Little America, which we were so surprised by how nice it was!  We loved it! Then we went to dinner and a movie.  Great start to an amazing weekend!  Saturday we woke up and headed to the temple.  It was so special being in the temple that we got married in a year ago!  I can't believe it's already been a year!  After the temple we went shopping.  We discovered that most of the stores at City Creek are pretty expensive so lets just say we didn't buy much!  Then we headed back to our hotel to get ready for the evening.  We went to Applebees for dinner then went to the Jazz game, it was a blast and we had some pretty amazing seats!  Then yesterday we got to go spend some time with his family which was great because we haven't seen them in awhile.  So that was our exciting weekend.  So for today I am grateful for my sweet husband!  He is so good to me and I absolutely love being married to him!  He is constantly making me smile! He never stops!  He always knows what to say when I'm having a bad day!  He is my best friend and he puts up with so much for me!  I am so blessed to have him in my life!  I am so glad we had the chance to celebrate this special day together!  Thank you sweet heart for everything that you do for me and for the amazing weekend! I love you!

Music

I love music so much!  Me and my sweetheart have been saying it's our "anniversary week" because Monday is our anniversary so we've turned it into a week long celebration!  I've loved every second of it.  But what I'm getting at is that every day this week he has dedicated a song to me.  I know isn't he sweet?!?! I think music is wonderful!  It can strengthen us when we're feeling down.  It can describe exactly how we feel when we can't find the words.  I made this picture and it's the lyrics to Rascal Flatts Bless the Broken Road which was the song we danced to at our wedding.  This song describes my feelings for my amazing husband so perfectly!

Faith

So I will admit I was not happy about the results of last nights elections.  But I absolutely love this gospel.  The church came out with a statement congratulating President Obama for his win in the election.  Here is a link to what they said if you haven't seen it church statement. Then I read on my amazing friend Jess's blog a quote that she put up.  It was pretty great! to summarize it, it just said that we need to be positive and not criticize this great nation that we live in, and that we need to be positive.  I just feel like at a time like this we all need to have faith the church has faith and we need to follow it's example right now.  I'm grateful for the great example that the church sets and I hope that I can set a good example for the church.  So I'm going to try really hard to not say anything negative about the situation and have faith!

Fall

Today I am grateful for the amazing fall weather we have been having lately!  I know it's suppose to end this week so I'm enjoying it while it lasts!  I wore flip flops today!  I feel like usually we go straight from summer to winter so the last few weeks of warmer weather have been great and I've loved every minute of it!

Kids

I absolutely love children!  I am so glad I got into a profession where I am surrounded by them all day!  They make life fun!  I love the things that they say!  The kids in my class are always making me laugh!  Yesterday I substituted in primary which was a blast!  Then there is my adorable niece and nephews!  They can always bring a smile to my face!  I cant wait for the day when I have children of my own!

Sundays

Today I am so grateful for Sundays and the opportunity to go to church every week.  We are so lucky to live so close to churches so we can go learn and come closer to our Savior.  We are so blessed to have the sacrament, so we can renew our baptismal covenants with our Heavenly Father!  

Couple friends

In the last week we got to hang out with 3 awesome couples.  On Friday we hung out with Emily and Mike which was lots of fun. Saturday Jose got to spend the afternoon hanging out with his best friend Parker and his wife Holly while I was at work then Sunday they came back over and we had breakfast with them and spent a few hours talking and laughing.  Then last night Jessica and Josh came over and we played some games.  I'm grateful that we have such great couple friends we can spend our weekends with!

Fridays!

I am so grateful for Fridays!  They are my day off from the school, so that might sound silly since just yesterday I said how much I love my job, which I real do!  It's just so nice to have Fridays off.  I get so much accomplished it's a great way to start off the weekend!  Then once four hits I get my husband home and I get to spend the rest of the weekend with him!  I love it!  Yay for Fridays!

November

As some of you might know I like to blog every day in November about something that I am grateful for, so we'll see how it goes this year.  Today I am grateful for my job.  I am so lucky to work at such a great place!  I absolutely love it!  I can't believe how fast the work day goes there. I start the day and before I know it it's already over.  I wake up on Monday and blink and the week is over.  I am so grateful that I pushed through those 4 years of school so I could be where I am at today.  But I never would've been able to make it through college without my sweetie by my side cheering me on, he's the best!
