What do I want to accomplish this year?

* Confidence in myself

* Sealed to Nick for ever

* Pull my credit up

* Do 1 spontaneous thing a month big or small

* Blog lots more

* Take lots of pictures to scrapbook and blog about

* Take care of myself

* Read about woman of the church

Nick and I talked in church on Sunday and I just had so much insight. We talked about Eternal Marriage. I talked about the role woman have and Nick talked about the priesthood. It was just amazing. It was the first time we have spoke as husband and wife. The spirit just touched my heart so much. I was unable to go to my classes due to procrastination but talking in sacrament just inspired me to be the best woman, wife and daughter I can be. Women are amazing and we are capable of so much.

Highlights of 2009

* Became more active in church

* Payed of almost all my debt

* Went to Ax7,Papa Roach,Atreyu and Hollywood Undead

* Quit my job at Larry H. Miller Bountiful Chrysler Jeep Dodge

2009 was a rough but wonderful year. A lot of the unhappy moments in life can be made the happy moments. We put so much of our income on debt and didn't go out a lot but we grew closer together.

Thoughts...

The other day I was looking at my friends post on Facebook and she was talking about a surprise she had so people started asking her if she was pregnant. She wasn't but it got me thinking. Whenever I didn't feel well or something to that effect people always ask me "Are you Pregnant?" People get so excited for newly weds to have kids.

Whenever I'm out with my Mom and Cat we see a cute baby and they look at it and say "Jess have one."

It is great how people get so excited about newly weds having baby's. Its almost always the instant question when the wife doesn't feel well or has a surprise.

Big Mix Up

One day at work I sent Nick saying " I love you so much!"

When I went back to my phone my dad had text me back saying " I love you so much to?" like where did that come from.

So I text him back explaining how I was trying to send it to Nick but that I did love him.

He replied with " Ya right your just covering you butt. Your not the good daughter."

I was hurt so I replied with " Whatever I am so the good daughter I made cookies last night."

He text "that's true your the good daughter"

Well we had a family party that night and told the story of how I mixed up my contacts in my text. It was quite embarrassing. Everyone was laughing and saying things like well at least it was something like that instead of something else. So true. That would have been so much worse if it had been something else.

Sisterly Love

Being sisters lots of experiences happen and we adapt and grow together. Well as we have grown and adapted together special names have come along that we all know and answer to.

Jessica- Jessica Rabbit Head,Muffin & Good Daughter
I have no idea where Jessica Rabbit Head came from but my parents have always called me that. Catherine started calling me Muffin one day and it just stuck. I am just the good daughter look at me!

Catherine- City Cat, Cat & Cupcake
She has had city cat since she was a baby to and then of course cat is short for Catherine but Cupcake is from me. She calls me Muffin so I had to come up with some baked goods nickname for her.

Elizabeth- Liz, Lizzy, Wizzy Woo Woo
Lizzys nick names are just funny! The first 2 are pretty obvious but I bet your wondering where we got Wizzy Woo Woo. Well it all started in Seattle when Cat & I got her to pee her pants a couple of times while running to the bathroom. Sarah sat on the toilet so she couldn't get on then I would tackle her while cat tickled her till she peed. Yes it was probably rude but it sure was fun.

Sarah- Sarah Bear, Bear & Good Daughter #2
Sarah got her nickname because it just fits. She is so sweet and likes giving bear hugs. She is the second good daughter because I have married and moved on in life. But will always be #1.We haven't been able to come up with other nicknames because they just don't fit her. What an Angel!

Cat & I are in the process of coming up with a baked goods name for Liz and Bear. It takes time and thought to come up with the perfect one.

We Did It! We Did It!

We survived our first year of marriage!

With No:
Bite Markes
Stitches
Broken Bones

It wasnt easy at times but we pushed our way through it.

learning to share:
the bed
money
time

Learning all the little habits and things everyone does but dont get to see while you are dating.

It has certainly been a crazy wonderful year. We have been together for 4 1/2 years and still learning so much about each other. It is great!

I heard your first year is hard but your 2nd is harder. What do you think?
