How it started :)

Well I don't know why but I just feel like writing our story. 

The story of Lynden and I. :)

So one sunny day.. actually it wasn't sunny, maybe it was... I can't remember but I know it had been snowing though. I had a crush on this boy named Sean. Well this day happened to be his birthday/going away party. He was leaving on his mission and I was sad about it. I was happy to go to the party and hangout though. :) So I went with my old roomies, Andrea and Jodi! We ate food, danced, skateboarded, and just had a good time! :) Well that is where I think I saw Lynden for the first time. At the boy that I had had a crush on's party. And Lynden just happened to come to the party with a boy that I also kind of liked. Soooooo, I just pretty much didn't care about him.. at all. So at this party that Lynden was at, with two boys that I liked he happened to be wearing some weird looking shoes.. So I asked Curtis, "Is that boy wearing heelies?" laughing so much about it because I really thought that they were. So Curtis tells him about this misunderstanding that I had. And everyone was laughing. About a week later or a couple days or sometime later Lynden added me on facebook. 

Official facebook friends; November 1st. Yep.

Then I decided to write on his wall.. "Lynden! How are you and your heelies?" (I thought that I was pretty funny and cute. :) ) We decided to further our relationship to texting after a little while. It so happens that on that same night there was a glow in the dark dance. I asked him if he was going but he seemed to not like dances at all. So Jodi and I made up some awesome outfits and headed off to the dance. Well to my surprise he was there! Really, I was surprised! I was dancing my freakin' heart out so I needed to take a break. I went to get a drink of water. Someone touched my shoulder and they said hey.. I have REALLY slow reflexes sometimes so I managed to turn around about a minute later and say hi! :) To no one. No one was there anymore. Jodi told me it was Lynden! I felt really bad because he probably thought I was ignoring him or something. I went to find him but I couldn't. After the dance I thought he was going to a kid's house that everyone was hanging out at.. He never showed up. I was pretty sad... :/ He texted me and we talked non-stop. Seriously. I lost sleep over that boy. A lot of sleep. I don't loose sleep for anyone so this meant something. I had to go to Mesquite over the weekend and then the night I got back we were supposed to watch a movie. I was SOOO nervous. Like, really.

I ended up getting back to Cedar at like ten or something and I was EXTREMELY tired but I desperately wanted to hangout with this boy! So of course, i did. He came and picked me up and we went to his house. I met most of his roommates, got a full tour of the house and then we watched a movie. Everything was going good. Then he went to put the movie in and BAM! I fell asleep. Before the previews even got over and the movie started. How embarrassing! Like really, who does that? I was pretty positive that he thought I was the lamest girl ever. Well I woke up a little later feeling horrible about falling asleep then BAM i just kissed him. I must have been REALLY tired because no way would I ever have the guts to actually do that. I am a chicken. We hungout pretty much everyday after that. Then I think a week or less later we started dating. I told him we would probably last a week or so. WHO SAYS THAT?!? Anyways, good thing it didn't. It has been a GREAT year and almost three months since then. 

And that's my weird but favorite story. :)

I am loved.

I know this because of my family... they are the best.

-They all make me laugh, funniest people I have ever known.

-Tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear.

-They pray for me.

-They take care of me when I am sick.

-They are my best friends.

-They are always there.

-They make me mad.

-We fight everyday.

-They think about me.

-They judge for all the right reasons.

-They are willing to help me financially.

-They know me.

-They are the biggest examples to me.

-They teach me.

No matter how much they make me want to punch them in the face, I love them more than anything. This is why I know I am loved. Heavenly Father loves me cause he put me in this family. He gave me two of the strongest, best, funniest parents ever. He gave me five brothers. He gave me four sisters. He gave me three brother in-laws. He gave me three sister in-laws. He gave me three nephews. He gave me three nieces. He gave me three on the way kids to be an aunt to. And I know they will be several more people added to my family. This is why I know that I am loved... because he gave me all these people to love me. I am so grateful for them all. I am so blessed. <3 :)

I know I just posted bbbuuuttt, this is how I am feeling today! :)

If I was a flower growing wild and free

All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.

And if I was a tree growing tall and green

All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free

All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.

And if I was a tree growing tall and green

All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,

The rumble of your water would be my call.

If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow

Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod

If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.

If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug

And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.

If you were the love, I'd be the desire.

If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,

And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

I love this song. I think happy things when I hear it. Today, I am very much HAPPY! :))

Weekend :)

Saturday Lynden and I went Ice Skating for our first time ever! It was so much fun! :) I was pretty nervous! Good news though, It is a TON like rollerblading. Which is awesome because I am not gonna lie, I am pro at rollerblading! :) 

Me+Rollerblades+Bulldog Hill=SUCCESS!

That is a different story though.. It was such a good time. I did freeze my hands off though. Here are some pictures. 

Us.. :)

Meeee. :)

 The REAL Us. <3

 My Model Of A Boyfriend. ;)

Sunday, I happened to go to my new ward for the first time. Awesome right? Right! Well, I knew a few people in there already which made it super cool! Butttttt, in sacrament they decided to have a surprise woman choir.. Cool.. not. I am a woman which meant I had to sing.. In front of all sorts of attractive boys. Other than that, church was fab!

Also, Sunday was my brother Ruskan's birthday party! It was such a blasty blast! :) I love seeing my family!! So much. <3 Also, my papa made some freakin' delicious Carne Asada! I'm drooling just thinking about it (it might just be that i have a weird drooling problem but still). :) It was lovely to see my family and just relax and things! It was a great weekend! 

P.S I write these blogs kind of for myself.. so that's why they suck. :)

I am thankful. :)

I stole this from Carmina. :)

This post is about NEW YEARS! :)

I wanted to go all out this year. I wanted to go to Vegas. I even bought a cute dress! Actually the shop-o-holic in me came out and I bought not only one but two! I was so excited for the past week. Everytime I went to Walmart I looked at those super cool 2012 glasses that I wanted to buy. I have never went all out for New Years and I really wanted to.. Well the week went by and I hadn't planned anything. As always, just hoping everything would work out. Well Saturday came. I had work from noon til nine-thirty. After, I still had no plans and I was SO tired from working all day. Something happened that made me sick as well and I had cramps and just was not feeling well AT ALL. I asked Lynden what he wanted to do and as always he said, whatever you want (which I hate). Well I couldn't decided. Imagine that. I was not feeling to hot at all. We just sat at home and watched TV. Before I knew it, it was midnight. I got my New Years kiss. ;) Then I went to bed. I felt like my parents.. OLD! But I got to spend it with a boy I realllyyy like. 

Also the new year. I love it cause everything seems new. Everything seems like a first time. When I was younger on New Years I would always do the this is the first time thing. First time punching my brother. First time drinking water. I loved to be the first to do everything. Last night I caught myself doing that. It was embarrassing and fun. Lynden starred at me like I was such a weirdo. I did the first time tickling him. The first time kissing him on the cheek. And just stupid things like that. 

I am so excited for this year though. I actually made New Years resolutions for the first time. Hopefully it works out! At first I made so many I couldn't even remember them all. I go overboard. But I am excited! The past year I have been SOOO blessed!! I can't wait to see what this year will be like. :) I love my life. I love my family. I love my God. I love that I have a job. I love the church. I love the town I live in. I love that I have money. I love my boyfriend. I love my friends. I just freakin' love everything.. I hope you do too. 

So, Happy New Years Everyone!! :D
