Latest update in my life

I AM ENGAGED!! I can't believe how blest I have been and that God would bring this awesome and wonderful man into my life. PLUS who can pass of the opportunity of having one of my bestest friends from High School as my Sister-in-law!

My Friend Nicole texted me in the middle of December to see how I felt about the idea of being set up on a date with her brother-in-law Jonathan. He needed to get out more and for some reason Joey (her husband/his brother) thought of me. I thought, why not! We decided that since Jonathan would be in Ceder City for Christmas and I would be at my parents for Christmas it woud be the perfect chance to go down and just have some fun. It was SUPPOSE to be a very casual date and basically a fun hang out..well God obviously had other things in mind. Within a day or two I knew that there was definitely a future with this man. The unfortunate part was that he was living in Flagstaff, AZ and that made it 9 hours away!!! SO 3 days later I decided to buy a plane ticket for the next weekend and go down and spend the weekend with him to get to know him more. Within 24 hours beyond that we both knew that we were meant to be..I KNOW it is totally insane and I remember mocking people on howthey would just know but then I remember my sisters and how they all knew very quickly so I guess it runs in the family. SO I flew down to see him and by the weekends end I had a ring on my finger. I am so blessed and so excited to spend my future with him. With marrying him I will also be inheriting a 2-year step-daughter Hanneli, she is SOOO cute. Grandchild #16 :) In May when Jonathan finishes up his Master Degree for Family Counseling he will be moving up to Ogden and we will be getting married in June! Thank goodness for cell phone technology!



We are excitally going through the Bountiful Temple and I am so excited and can hardly wait!!

Aunt Pauline Weekend

SO I had Kristi and Matt for Chirstmas 08' and they decided that for Christmas they wanted a weekend to getaway from all kids and I love taking the kids out so I was down for it. THANK GOODNESS it was a good weather weekend because being cooped up in my 2 bedroom condo without a yard would have driving us nuts. But we had fun away.

I took them to the park nearby so they could play and have a chance to run out all the energy they had. The park had trees and they decided to be monkeys and climb up in them, so of course I had to take pictures :)


I have a friend from high school that had a daughter about Devans age and a boy brendans age so we arranged a play date:)

Ogden has a water park for the kids and they had all kinds of fun running around. The breeze picked up so it was getting a little chilly but the kids had a blast. Poor little Brendan didn't want to stop playing in it but couldn't stop shivering.

Park City Girls Weekend

September me and my sisters went to Park City for a Girls night and had a blast!! We met up at Bobbi's and then headed up to Park City. We got settled in to the Hotel and then decided to go and try and find something to eat...well an hour later and a lot trip of all over Park City with Bobbi's GPS leading us back the direction we were going we ended up at Ruby River just down the street from the Hotel. haha

BUT while we were driving around we saw these trees!! Yes there are Shoes in those trees. It was pretty cool so we of course had to stop in the middle of the road...LITERALLY in the middle of the road (don't worry it was kind of like a turning lane) and took pictures:)

We had a blast like we always do and and got back to the hotel and decided to jump into the Hot Tube, and do I need to mention that there was a TON of cute guys there..Kristi was 'checking ' them out for me to see if any were good enough. We couldn't figure out why and then we found out in the Hot Tub that it was a HIGH SCHOOL soccer team..yeah WAY to young for me.

We went shopping for our junk food and then headed back for a game of Jenga. Very fun stuff. We got up Saturday and did the breakfast stuff, checked out of the hotel and then went shopping... It was a lot of fun, we took tons of pictures and video to sent to Laurel and Ruth since they couldn't join us.

I was totally going to upload a video of our journeyings for food..well Bobbi calls it scavanging for food but it won't let me upload it :( it is pretty hilarious stuff
