Yep...thats awesomesauce.. not only will i have a fitness center directly across from my front door complete with elliptical, treadmills, and cycles....but we also have a hot tub and pool!
Well we went to Vegas and Arizona last weekend and had a blast...i must have overdone the fun because a couple days later and I was on Bedrest...yucky! We went with our friends Tiffany and Brandon and loved every second of it. Minus coming back to the cold Utah part.
i got very few pictures because i was so tired out!! BUT enjoy the ones i did get! still need to get some from tiff! Check out our swanky hotel in Vegas. i scored a sweet deal of 60 bucks for this gem on priceline. so when we split the cost it was a grand total of 30 each. FABULOUS! thats right folks...it was a suite...and it was GORGEOUS!
We walked around Vegas for a bit
I gambled a quarter...and lost a quarter. dang it.
The next morning we started on our way to Arizona
That night we went to a carnival and had a lot of fun. The next day we got to the conference got our swag bags and went to classes. Brandon very much enjoyed his Tassi from his swag bag lol.
I also got to see my buddy michelle masterson who i love dearly and she is also stunningly gorgeous. and of course Tiffany and i had a blast with our dorky husbands who kept us wildly entertained.
i have 2 fantastic dads. several awesome uncles. an amazing father in law. several best friends' dads. josie's dad. grandpas. bishops. etc.
as Mina is coming (and coming quick) i have thought a lot about fathers and their importance.
i had a dad until I was three. then my parents divorced. he was still in my life but he wasn't there everyday for whatever reasons. during those years without a constant dad i had to rely on other male figures. i had support. i was able to get a blessing if i needed one. when my mom remarried i had a constant dad in my life again. i had a coach for Jr. Jazz. I had someone to deal with my tantrums during math homework (embarrassingly enough those lasted till i graduated high school). i learned about missionary work. most importantly i learned about respect, hard work, and love....
when i found out i was pregnant with Josie. i started to REALLY think about the importance of a father. a baby, a child, a person...they all deserve a father. the person who had contributed bringing Josie in this world was not a father, not ready to be a father. i knew she deserved more than that. she deserved a coach for Jr Jazz or whatever it is she chose to be in. she deserved someone to help her with her math homework (i knew i couldn't unless i wanted to also teach her about tantrums lol). i was so happy to find Johnathan for this reason. he is an amazing dad. he works full force to keep his family taken care of and happy.
after i placed Josie i started to REALLY think about the importance of the males I dated. i wanted them to be MEN not boys pretending to be men. When I met Wesley...i knew he was a man. he was respectful, responsible, he honored his priesthood. the more i get to know Wesley the more i come to learn just how much of a man he is.
he is a man that doesn't call in sick....even when he has mono and bells palsy and a doctors note to miss four days.
he is a man that walks into the door and the first thing he does is go to the garbages and takes them out before he even sits down for a snack after work
he is a man that remembers to do scripture reading and say prayers every night.
he is a man that makes sure to do his home teaching.
most importantly he is the kind of man who is willing to give me a big hug and make me laugh till i stop crying when i am having a hard time about anything.
yes folks. i married a wonderful man. .. and because i married such a wonderful man i know that he is going to be an amazing father. i can't wait to raise children with this man. i am so thankful that Heavenly Father led me to such an amazing father figure for our children. Fathers are fabulous.
So we got accepted to move into a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment and we are so excited!! We have a dishwasher, a pool, a hot tub, a fitness center...its really amazing! Another great feature is now we can get a second dog again. We were really really sad when we had to give Bailey to my dad (even though they were stoked lol) Luckily our landlord has let us foster puppies to keep our second dog fix a going (which to me is crazy that he allows that but not a second dog haha) anywhoo...now we have a second puppy!!
Meet Chewbacca...aka Chewie! Chewie is a toy australian shepherd. he will not be bigger than 12 inches tall and no heavier than 10 pounds. he was the runt of the litter so i doubt he will get even that big. He is so cute and Rupert loves him already! Both of his parents are winning show dogs and beautiful as can be. We are so happy to have this little guy! Toy Australian Shepherds are very good dogs, highly intelligent, and amazing with kids and other dogs. They are also extremely athletic, but because of there small size also make great lap dogs.
