One year stronger....

yesterday was our first anniversary! It has been a wonderful year. I have learned so much about our relationship, and about my sweet husband...He is so wonderful, so patient, and so good to me. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband! For our anniversary, we drove to Chase's parents house Friday night, then I got up early Sat. morn so i could run in a race...which went wonderful (post of the race to come in the next few days....i'm waitin on some more pics..) After that was finished, which pretty much took all day, we had some lunch, and headed to Salt Lake, where we stayed at Little America...Chase took me to dinner at Takashi, which was a wonderful sushi restaurant (we love sushi)....then we went our for ice cream of course! Sunday morning (we broke the sabbath, oops) and went to the amazing Little America Sunday Brunch. We had a wonderful few days together! I love you baby, and cannot wait for the many years to come. Thank you for being so great!The pretty flowers Chase gave me, isn't he sweet?
And my cute new red high heels, i have been wanting red shoes for so long, and he suprised me with these!!

to my daddy...

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!!
*look at how out-numbered my sweet dad is, but he has handled it so well. Thanks to him, we all know how to dribble a basketball pretty well, and we sure aren't afraid to get our hands dirty, or slosh through some cow crap, haha...disgusting, but very true. thanks dad!

I am so grateful to have such an amazing dad....who has taught me so many things in my life.
I feel so lucky to have a dad, who i can consider one of my best friends. He is so smart, and reasons with me so well. Thank you dad for teaching me all of lifes greatest lessons, for teaching me how to gain a testimony, for supporting me through all of lifes trials, and for showing me how to endure everything that life throws at you. Thank you for smiling everyday, even when it hurts so bad to do so...if you can withstand what your facing right now, it gives me hope and a desire to do the same. You are amazing, and i love you so much dad! Have a great fathers day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAR!
shar's bday is the day after mine, so we had so much fun celebrating together! After Chase had to go to work this afternoon, shar met me and we spent the afternoon together by shopping, chatting, going out to dinner, and just enjoy spending time together with just the girls!

Shar is so wonderful, and she is such a blessing in my life. I have loved living with her, and getting to know her better. She has become one of my greatest friends and i just love her. i learn new things for her everyday, she is such a great mother, wife, and friend. Its so fun to have someone to stay up late and talk with, go on runs with her, cook together, shop together, and all the other great things that we share together. I love her to death! Shar i hope that you have a great birthday!

7. Singing in the shower, car or anywhere.
8. A brand new pair of shoes.
