.One Year Older and Wiser Too.

My main Man is 30!!!!! And boy does it look good on him! I love him so much. He really is my right hand, my better half, the one who helps calm me when I stress out for no reason. And he is just darn right funny and the sexiest man I know!

We had a fabulous day of celebrations. Breakfast. Shopping. Surprise Golf Day with his Brothers. And a not so great surprise Birthday BBQ party-sorry babe! We will do Flow Ryder some day soon, I promise!!

I really lucked out marrying such an amazing guy. He knows just how to push my buttons and make me laugh at my craziness minutes later. I grow from him every day. We aren't perfect by any means, but we fit each other so well. Nothing stresses him out and it drives me nuts, because the smallest things make me go crazy. He keeps me so grounded and reminds me everyday to just breathe. I love this man so much and can't wait to spend eternity with him.

.the ever growing beard.

 mmm...love this look....                        a tad too long for me....              where did my husband go?              who is this guy!?

Mister decided to grow his beard out for halloween this year (if you missed that post, check it out here.), it started the last week of August.  It was quite the process, and got real old to snuggle up to. Actually, I take that back...there was hardly any snuggling, nuzzling or cuddling in the month of Oct. I mean, look at that thing!!! You could have hid an entire army in there! Needless to say, it was outta here the morning of October 31st, just in time for church. ahhh...I will admit, I do love week 1-2 of the scruff, so he's keeping that! He hardly looks like the same guy tho I think!

ps...i am going through my closet this week to help more simplify my life. so as soon as i can find my missing camera i will post pictures for a BlogSale ;) STAY TUNED!

.A Letter.

Love what you love and wrap yourself around it.

I was thinking to myself today of the things I really love and love doing.

Mister is obviously, without a doubt on the very top of that list.

Another, my Heavenly Father. He's a good man and so forgiving.

I don't think I take advantage of him enough. I can do better.

And as I said my prayers tonight, I had the want, that crave of being better.

Not only to Him, but to my Mister, my friends, my family and myself.

Him: I need to do a better job at attending the temple on a more regular basis and saying 

my prayers and reading my scriptures nightly and not making up excuses.

There should never be an excuse good enough to skip those 3 things.

Mister: He is my King, my Knight and Shinning Armor. He deserves the best and

everything I have to give. I get stressed sometimes, ok a lot, and he doesn't deserve it.

I keep trying to make it a goal to put my phone away once I get home from working 

all day, but I always find an excuse to keep it out. I need to do better at putting it away 

and leaving it there. The time I have with him is so short on the week nights and I want

to soak it all up with him and not have any outside distractions. 

So to my friends, family and clients: you may not hear from me until later in the evening

when Mister is doing his homework. I need to make the time more special and

precious with him. Thank you for understanding. 

Friends: I like to consider myself lucky with the friends that I have. The friends

who have never given up on me, the ones who we can go months without seeing

and it is always the same, no matter where we are at in our lives. The friends that I 

have made this year that have become some of my best friends. (even if it the first time we  

hung out/met and I broke my wrist and was a bum for the remainder of the weekend). 

The friends that let us stay with them when visiting out of town. The friends

who like to go on vacations with us. The friends that I have had since Preschool and

Elementary. I am truly blessed to have the friends that I have and will forever love you all.

Clients: A big, huge, Thank You from the bottom of my heart for being you. Thank you 

for letting me take that 15-20min to Glitz and Glamor your toes. Thank you for making it

possible for Mister and I to travel, because if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't

be able to go, see and so the things we do. I am so grateful and lucky to have this 

at this time of my life. Words can't express enough how much I appreciate you all.

 And the best part about it, I love what I do and I love being able to meet new girls

every single week, from young to old. I love it  because of you.

  Thank you.

Family: Being the youngest of 8 is a lot to handle. But it is worth every second. For

the most part, all 8 siblings+spouses get along AND we all live 40min from each other.

The relationships I have built with my siblings and inlaws as strengthened so much since I 

have been married and I love it. I love my parents and all that they do for me.

They have been gone 9 months and we as a family don't get together as often as we use

to, I look forward to them returning and having everyone together more often.

I am lucky to have such rad inlaws on the Yeager side as well. I wish we got

together more often, but everyone has their crazy-busy schedules. Someday soon, 

I hope, that will change and we will get together more often.

Me: I use to be the best journal writer. Growing up I wrote in it daily. It was my 

go-to vent book and my book that I got to be me. I didn't have to worry 

about impressing anyone and those 30min every night were my favorite. I

need to start writing again. It's something more personal than a blog.

Something that I can be me through and through. I also want to find that 

"nitch" as Mister and I like to call it. Mister has golf and I have, well...I 

am still not sure. But I am working on it daily to get there! (maybe my nitch

will be being a mother. Something I am very much so looking forward to. 

Maybe/hopefully next year, if the time is right.)

This was my first post ever that I just wrote what I has been on my mind. I know it may be boring

and I promise it won't happen often. It's nice every once in a while to get it all out on the table

and just say what your feeling and what you're grateful for. 

Now I have to be up in 5 hrs to go to work, so I will leave it at that. 

Love you all, goodnight!

.JaCkPoT.

{SLY}

Everyday is an adventure with this man. He always has smile on his face and something up his sleeve.

He will always do anything asked of him right at the moment of being asked. Even when he is in the middle of playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

He is a bigger person than me and I envy that about him. So selfless. Always looking for ways to serve and make everyone happy. 

I've never seen someone who picks up friends or family members tab before/after as often as he does.

He usually has a weekly surprise awaiting my arrival after work. Really? What husband does that!? And they are really good surprises too.

He has an eye for the right things and catches me off guard time and time again. 

Give him a sport or any game and he'll be the best at it. Even if he has never played. kinda makes me jealous...

We may not be "The Perfect Couple" and we have our flaws, but because of him I am a better person who is striving every day to become the wife he deserves and the future mother of his children that I dream about.

In my mind, I have won the JaCkPoT because I have Stephen Levi Yeager {SLY} in my life.

Happy Birthday lOVe!

I don't know where I would be without you in my life.

You are the reason I am the girl I am.

You lift me up when my spirits and low and are always there for me.

I never imagined I would be so in love with someone like I am with you.

I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to you.

Everyone who meets you, loves you.

You are always the life of the party.

I love how funny you are, and I love it even more so when you tell me how funny you think you are.

Thank you for being you and for loving me as much as you do and more.

I love you more than you'll ever know.

 one.of.a.kind.guy.

yes...that is my husband in the middle. so excited there is hope that our kids will have blonde hair!

HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY SWEETS!!!

{levi's b*day isn't until Saturday, but we will be celebrating in cali}

.A New Pride and Joy.

The night before we got married we received My Guys wedding band. We were so excited to see what it was going to look like, we designed it together and was going to be the perfect band for him. When we saw it for the first time, we were a little disappointed...It wasn't the color of metal we had planned on and the black diamonds were half the size we were hoping they would be. We didn't let the disappointment of his wedding band effect our Wedding Eve evening however. We gladly took the ring with a smile and a thank you, and enjoyed our wedding dinner with family and friends.

As soon as we returned home from our honeymoon, my Guy was browsing one of his favorite stores and his eyes came across his new dream wedding band. He couldn't stop thinking about it, or for that matter, talking about it...for weeks! He took me to go take a look at it. It was in Scottsdale Mall, and I was still on crutches from my hip surgery, so he gladly pushed me in a wheel chair to go take a peek. Once I saw it for the first time, I smiled and agreed. It was perfect for him. It had his name written all over it. And After a long waited 6 months, it finally came! And what more perfect timing to get it then the morning of his 10 year reunion?! He looks ravishing with it on his left ring finger, and I love it. More than his original one. But...I am the sentimental type, and insisted we keep the first one. Just like how I am changing the setting for my diamond, we will keep the original setting even tho there will be no diamond in it. Call me crazy, weird or just plain silly, but I want to keep both of them.

*Mont Blanc*

*kindly disregard the cell phone picture...the only decent camera we have is our huge Nikon and it's not something you just carry around with you 24/7. So until we get a new digital, cell phone pictures will just have to do.

**Post Coming Soon-My Guy and his Pearly Whites!! Stay tuned...
