Reason why to marry your best friend

For the last Five months I have had the blessing of being married to my best friend. I don't know how i got to be so lucky. I see that many of my friends from when I was young are married and divorced and others who can't find happiness with hanging out routines. The big secret is to marry your best friend. Mine happens to be Kylee!
Every day i get to wake up and make her breakfast while she takes her already beautiful face and makes it heart stopping. She even gave my german pancakes a chance and is now hooked. There's never enough for the both of us. Kylee is the smile on my face that even a rainy bike ride up old main hill can't erase. I love how much fun she is on just regular days. If it gets too boring in our apartment I know for sure that someone is going to start tickling.
Call me a newly-wed but it is the highlight of my day to watch her come in the door and give her hugs. Being a newly wed doesn't mean hiding in the bedroom room at every spare moment, it means running around the apartment like three-year-olds and then holding hands like grandparents as we do our grocery shopping. And every night i get to hold her close as she cries during a romantic movie. "Can life get any better? I submit that it can not!"
Here's to my best friend! The one who tells me when i'm wrong and helps me do what's right. The one who I know is pacing the floor til we can see each other again. The one who I would be lost without. I Love You Kylee!

For our thank-you cards we decided to to do a postcard kinda look with a picture of us holding a thank-you sign on one side and the note on the the other. They look really cute!

The pictures are adorable but i have no use for a picture that says thank you on it so 

i decided to play around and change it up :) 

Here is what i did....

i quite like the results, what do you think?

be yourself...

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

I was attacked on sunday!

coming out of church on sunday i was attacked by my old nemesis that I thought I'd never see again. He jumped me from behind and took hold of my airways making breathing a struggle. the worst part about my attacker is that no one else can see him and yet he makes me embarrass myself in public. I had to wrestle with him to keep control through my HOME teaching and then ward choir where things could really have gone awry if he got the better of me.
If you haven't guessed this fiendish foe of mine happens to be the hiccups and i take it very seriously! The last major case i had was in the MTC choir rehearsal and I'm pretty sure every one in that 360+ choir heard me as it escaped. The biggest problems with hiccups during choir is that as your trying your hardest to project and sing out loud the hiccup gets amplified and there is no stopping it.
I guess they weren't so bad this time even though i did fight it all day. The hardest part was having Kylee next to me the whole time not sympathizing with my dyer circumstances. Apparently it was quite comical and hard to resist the urge to imitate.
fortunately i was able to subdue the attack by bed time and haven't seen them since. We can only hope that this doesn't happen again, but you never can tell with these invisible attackers.

i think  'Dear George Clooney Please Marry My Mom' and

 ' The Wednesday Wars' are AMAZING! they are highly entertaining, the characters and story pretty much rock! so read them :) it will greatly improve your state of mind after all that textbook junk you've had to process the past few weeks.
