This is my first
blog post since Jeston and I have been married. We have had so many adventures
since we got married almost 10 months ago. We have moved to Rexburg to
start school, and have finally picked our majors. As we travel, whether it is
to Utah for the weekend or home to see our families, we are making memories and
enjoying being married to each other. Every day brings something different, and
we are counting our many blessings as we go to school and still get to know
each other.
The story of Jeston and I meeting
seems like it was so long ago. We met at a singles ward FHE and have been best
friends since then. We dated for three weeks, and then Jeston brought me to
Pounders, a jewelry store where my mom and grandma bought their rings, to pick
out my engagement ring. He then proposed in the parking lot, and we have been
happy ever since. We were both excited, thinking we would never get married,
especially to someone from our home town. But Heavenly Father knew what was in
store for us when we met.
As for the last couple months, we
have finished winter semester, went home to visit family, and have been
enjoying no homework and more free time. We went home to surprise Jeston’s mom
for her birthday and to watch my little sister’s dance performance. I got to
snap a few shots of her in her costume, and she is such a little diva.
While we were
home, we went out to see Jeston’s grandma in the cemetery, and visit with Jeston’s
family. It was so great seeing all of our family and spending time with them.
Our birthdays were
this week, and I surprised Jeston with tickets to go see Brad Paisley later
this summer. As you can see in the pictures, he was thrilled. We had a few
friends over for cake and ice cream and later on played on the Wii for a few
hours. He surprised me on my birthday
with a new pair of Toms, a bouquet of roses, and our favorite lunch, Taco Bell.
We also got to see Man of Steel (thank you Jordan and Elaine for the tickets),
and it was a good movie. All in all, it was a pretty good week for both of us.
We have been dog sitting for our friends, and have been enjoying living with a
dog. Jeston and I are both dog lovers, and would have one in a heartbeat if we
could. So having Percy with us has been a blast. Now, as we hang out on this
beautiful Sunday, we look forward to seeing what this week will bring.

relationship isn’t about the kissing, the dates, or the showing off. It’s about
being with someone who makes you happy in a way that no one else can.” -
