cutie

i can truly tell you i'm marrying my best friend.
even better than that is the fact that he can read my mind.
when i don't ask for help he comes to the rescue anyway.
he sat & helped me with invites tonight.
sometimes i get so stressed i can't see straight, he helps me keep my cool. always. i'm real lucky...but it didn't take invitation stuffing to realize that.
thanks babe!!
xx
ps. don't judge too harshly i've had the stomach flu for the last 26 hrs.
pps. did i mention we are down to 37 days?!

did I mention

I love roadtrips...when I test drove my car i may have tested out the back seat to deem it roadtrip worthy.

i'm totally diggin warmer weather!

I love kissing this boy.

I love hanging out with friends all weekend.

this i'm certain you know I love shopping!! & exploring new things.

oh and I think we are in love...

& we went to vegas for presidents day :)

it's a love thing

well not much to say that you don't already know...i could rave about the boy & how i'm the luckiest because he is my valentine or how perfect he is for me. but i know you all already know how much i adore him because it isn't just on valentines that he makes me feel special or that i am gushy about us being love birds.

that being said, on valentines day he really surprised me & set up a fancy dinner {he brought in the trees, the chandelier, the table, everything}.

it was perfection.

we had dinner & watched a movie of my choice.

nothing superbly different than a normal night for us.

& guess what...i wouldn't change a thing, because everynight with him really is bliss.

hbd

happy birthday to my best friend ever.

i love him with my whole heart & so much more.

happy 26 babe, and many more to follow!!

cowgirl

so I may have been having a horrible morning. called forrest so he could calm me down & listen to my sob story all the while knowing I was being totally irrational. he listened patiently and said 'remember cowgirls don't cry.' ha I love him. plain and simple he is the best for me!

new year's eve

since i was little i waited & waited for my new year's eve kiss.

this year i've been so busy trying to make sure everything is perfect it hadn't even crossed

my mind.

i love that last night as we talked about our new years eve fun,

"he" was the one to remind me i'd be "his" new year's kiss.

it's the little things that keep me falling in love all over again.

hope you have a wonderful new year's eve

xo

life

now i realize i have sucked as of late...been busy trying to live a little. since then i've completed my first 1/2 marathon {meaning there will be more to come} in 2hrs & 18 minutes. honestly one of the hardest things i have ever done.

made forb ride a horse...he is more terrified of them then i am.

attempted to eat about 5 lbs of food...the burger was literally the size of my faceeee. never again.

and just hanging out :)

duck hunting practice

the group.
we went shooting so i could practice for the ducks. all i have to say is watch out duckies because you are goin down. and man am i one lucky girl...to be in love with a boy who will be able to provide dinner no matter what ha ha, we happened across a wild chicken...so of course forb shot it. we had every intention of plucking & cooking the poor little thing but failed to realize that we should probably let the blood drain before it ruined all the meat...but now we know for next time :) i focused really hard because forrest said i had to hit the clay pigeons or he wouldn't take me hunting...& i really want to go hunting so it took all my focus to shoot!

& us.

sorry we've been busy...

sneaking drinks into usana.

singing our hearts out at the brad paisley concert.

making things out of pull 'n peels. cheering on real salt lake.

but mostly just falling in love.

random cuteness

the other night forrest & i went to dinner at cpk {california pizza kitchen} we were sitting there talking, waiting for our food & forrest was talking about his bills. this is what he said " then i'll only have my cell phone, gas, & you as bills." i couldn't contain my excitement, i really like the kid. who would have thought being called a bill could be so romantical?

{bliss}

n.
perfect happiness: perfect untroubled happiness.


sometimes that's the perfect way to explain how he makes me feel.

camping

we went camping up @ forest lake this weekend {af canyon past tibble fork}
it is quite an excursion to get there, some serious off roading. but it was sooo fun & really beautiful!

first we set up camp & my wonderful boyfriend cooked dinner which consisted of italian sausages with imported cheese in the middle...fortunately camping is totally his thing so he does everything...the only time it isn't great is when i have to eat what i'm given which i guess is good for me :)

then we had a campfire, sat around & talked about twilight of all things ha. & we danced to what i call our song "than" by brad paisley. so cuteee he is always doing sweet little things that make me smile!

in the morning we did some more off roading & hanging out. it was a perfect camping trip! {minus the fact that i had to pee @ 3 in the am, that was fun}

overall conclusion: camping is fun once again!

broken

no time to blog simply updating at the bf's house.
i am still alive.
internet is not.
please keep having summer fun & i'll hopefully be back soon with our list of things to accomplish this summer!

if you have any have to's i'd love some help!

22

turned 22. had an awesome day. lots of love from everyone, i have such amazing friends & family! the boy tricked me in order to surprise me, & i must say even though it was a mean trick i loved it. i think he loved it more than me though.
here is the gift wrapped & waiting for me to open it...wal-mart bag classy {not only was it wrapped in a wal-mart bag, it was 5 bags, newspaper ad & another wal-mart bag ha ha}

this is the best picture because at this point i thought he really had gotten me a piggy bank & he is stoked because i was so disappointed.

come to find out i had a coupon for dinner & tim mcgraw tickets on july 30th waiting inside the piggy bank for me!!! {as a clue the card said, remember its whats inside that really matters} just what i wanted!!!!

mint brownies :) then we went to the pg rodeo so fun but freezingggg!!
it really was the best birthday i can remember, 22 isn't so bad yet.

weeks have been flying by and weekends have been going even faster! can you believe forrest and i have been dating 9 weeks? i can't! {although i'll be honest, most times i can't remember when i didn't date him...}
a few weekends ago we went down to eureka where we ate lunch and just hung around and took pictures of all the old buildings! i can't believe i found someone who takes more pictures than i do...<3

we even stopped at an antique shop where he bought me our first cookie cutter, so adorable :)

the next weekend i was sick ALL weekend and he worked ALL weekend...speaking of work i detest diamond rental...they steal my boyfriend and occupy wayyyy too much of his time. and when he isn't at work he is exhausted from his 14 hr day. blehhh.
this weekend we went on a camping excursion with the most redneck people i have ever associated with they were sooo nice. not gonna lie it was pretty awesome! {connie-the mom said this to me "i've never been out of the country, wait i take that back when i was 6 or 7 i went to disneyland and san diego zoo for a day. but i'd really like to go to alaska or canada someday." i mean i totally understand why she got confused about disneyland...there are so many nationalites there it has to be hard to remember you are still in America. ha i can't stop laughing about that}
first we found moose tracks...they were HUGE!! freaked me out!

next my darling boyfriend shot a poor little chipmunk with his bow...i will admit it was a great shot but the poor little guy probably had a family and friends, to that forrest said you don't know that he could have been a thief/outlaw stealing everyone's food and murdering. ha i love him.

and finally i made him this message. can you figure it out?

{eye love ewe aka 'i love you'}
tonight i'm home in my bed missing snuggling by the fire...and when i thought he didn't even miss me he said "just around the fire..i miss you" he might like me too?

l.o.v.e.

do you remember the last time you liked someone so much that after pretty much 7 straight weeks of being together everyday you still want to spend all your free time with them...and try and find more time to be together.
and then after an amazing saturday when you have been together over 10 hours and you get home expecting to have at least 2 more hours to spend together but he is exhausted and leaves you home alone you get upset that you can't spend the rest of the night together...i'm not sure what is going on but forrest dear, i think i have an idea why i'm so crazy about being with you as long as possible. i've pretty much all together entirely fallen for you.
i miss you and its only been 1 hour since you left....
xox
your better half

and next time you say would it be cliche to ask you to marry me right now, please don't do it while i'm holding a glass dish...and a ring would be nice, just sayin

i kinda like him

"you look cute...i just passed you :)"

what better way to end my work day than driving home and looking down to see that text message from the boy. i just adore him. he makes me feel like the cutest girl in the world, even in my sweat pants.



ps his name is forrest :)
