HELP

One last thing....my paragraphs don't work on here anymore! I hit the hard return and it looks fine on the preview but then when it posts it is all in one paragraph..how do I fix this????

15 years

Yesterday Luke and I celebrated 15 years! I can't believe how fast time has flown. Such a perfect day yesterday...I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring for about a decade because it was too big and just never had it resized, so he had it resized for our anniversary and it looks brand new! Feels so different having something on that finger but I love it! He got me a HUGE beautiful bouquet of wildflowers in a beautiful yellow vase since that is my favorite color with a card I will treasure forever! I am one lucky girl! I got him a wedding ring too. We had to cut his ring off awhile back since his finger started turning blue and then black so I thought it would be the perfect time to get him a ring! We went to dinner and it was just nice being alone for a few hours. Gracie now has glasses and loves them and I must say she is the cutest little chick I have ever seen in those cute glasses! WE are leaving for Disneyland on Saturday morning and we are so excited! Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather!

Crazy!

Gracie is in school and loving every bit of it! Especially the bus:) Her teacher is Mrs. Heath and she is a doll!! We really lucked out getting her! Work is busier than ever..I feel like I don't know whether I am coming or going. My house looks like World War 5...there just aren't enough hours in the day to get it all done! Disneyland is three weeks away and coming way to fast. I just hope I can get everything done before we go! Hope everyone is loving this time of year! I can already smell the chili and cinnamon rolls!!

Brigham City Temple

I took some pics last night at the Brigham City Temple open house so I will post those soon but wanted to take just a minute to express how grateful I am for being able to go to such a beautiful open house with Luke, Gracie, my cute parents and Luke's Dad. It was truly a night I will never forget. The temple was breathtaking. It was so special to have my parents and Luke's Dad together. The second you walk into that temple you can feel the spirit. Gracie has wanted to go in a temple so bad for as long as she could say temple! Every time we pass a temple she asks about it so for her to be able to go inside yesterday was awesome! School starts next Tuesday and I think I am more nervous than Gracie! I can't believe she is in Kindergarten! Where has the time gone??? Life is busier than ever but had to take a moment to let everyone know they must go to this open house!!! LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!!

Picnics

Once or twice a week Gracie asks me for a picnic..so she sets her blanky on the living room floor and then sets us plates, cups and silverware...our meal of choice has been a fried egg, a string cheese and ice water. I treasure these moments. They are going by way to fast! I just love her imagination and I am so glad she let's me be a part of it! I hate that I have to work, but at least it is only part time so I don't miss out on everything! I sure love my Gracie bug!

Busy!

I feel like I have no concept of time this summer! Life is going so fast! Gracie had swimming lessons and loved every second of them so I signed her up for more at the end of July! My cute little brother is getting married in a few weeks and I can't believe how fast time is going! We have had barbeques, game nights, many walks with Peanut...Gracie and I try to walk Peanut every other day. We take her to the canal and it has been so hot we love it when she swims and then gets out and shakes water on us to cool us off! We are so excited...we are going to Disneyland for the first time in October! Luke has been before but it will be a first for Gracie and I an we can't wait! We spend many hours looking at the website and all the rides! We are going with some great friends and couldn't be more excited! I will have to get on the ball and post pics! I have been on a diet since April 9th and I am happy to report I am down 22 pounds and I feel great! I miss so many foods, but I love that I can fit into half of the things in my closet now! If I can get another 18 off I will be a happy girl! I hope summer is treating everyone so well!

Old Friends

This past week Luke, Gracie, my friend Maria and I went out to eat and while we were eating I looked at my phone and saw that I was being tagged eating with an old friend...I opened the picture and sure enough there was a picture on FB of us sitting there eating, so I scanned the restaurant to see who was taking the pics and there sat a dear friend from high school with his cute family waving. I hadn't seen him since high school and he hadn't aged a bit. He had two beautiful teenage boys and a beautiful wife. They came over and talked for a little while and then left. When it was time for the bill to come the waitress came and told us it had been taken care of. I am one lucky girl. I have been so blessed throughout my life to have such amazing friends. After almost 20 years of not even seeing him he was still just as sweet as I remember! Life has been so super crazy this past little while and sometimes I forget to stop and appreciate all of the wonderful things that are in my life. Know that I love you all more than you will ever know!!!
