Happy 3 Years to US!

Steve and I celebrated our 3 year Anniversary yesterday. Its hard to believe that already 3 years have come and gone. Steve is seriously my best friend, and I'm so happy that we are sealed for Eternity.

I didn't think that I could love him more from the day that we were married, but every day I love him more and more.

He's always so much fun to be around. He makes me smile, laugh, and makes me always want to be a better person. Steve and I can do everything and anything together and we have a great time!

Steve and I were planning on going camping this weekend for our anniversary get a way, but as we packed up and started driving, we noticed that timp was being hit with a rainstorm. Bummer.

It's alright though, I was completely content with just staying home at our place, and just spending time with one another.

Yesterday morning we woke up and surprised each other with our gifts. Steve is seriously so stinkin' cute! He hands me this letter that he wrote me, and on the letter he had underlined a couple of the words. I was clueless. I asked him what those meant, and then some music started playing. I started listening and it was the brand new COLBIE CALLAT cd! The words he had underlined were the song titles on the cd. How creative is that? I seriously loved it. He also surprised me with a hardback of the Twilight book. I have all the books but the first! Steve spoiled me.

For Steve's surprise I wrote him a poem and bought him the new Wolverine movie. I actually gave him Wolverine on Tuesday, the day it came out. Right when he came home from school he said he wanted to go out and buy it, I told him to wait that we should wait until the weekend, but he was ready to go and buy it. So, I ended up having to give it to him early. I also surprised him with a candlelight dinner! :)

Steve and I went to church, and then came home and relaxed,played games,ate our candlelight dinner and then watched an episode of The Office. I'm so grateful for you Steve! I love you! Happy 3 years! Many more to come!

Celebrating 50 years

Last weekend was a lot of fun! My grandpa and grandma Elfors rented a house for everyone in St. George. All of my cousins, and aunts and uncles were able to go. Even Alecia and Dave! (they live in TX)

We had so much fun hanging out with everyone! The house had two pools, one indoor and one outdoor, so we went swimming a lot. The pools were heated, so I was SUPER happy about that. The house also had a theatre room and an air hockey table.

We also went to the St. George outlets and went shopping. We found so many good bargains, it was crazy how cheap everything was. I found shirts for $1-5.00. and I finally found me a winter coat that fits, and I actually like it!!

Everyone got family pictures, and then we also had a big family picture taken with all the cousins,aunts and uncles and grandparents. I think they turned out really nice!

And most importantly we celebrated my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary.

On Saturday night we had a surprise luau with lots of food and then did a program for them. My aunts made a program with music, and it was themed for the time frame of when they were dating, to when they were married. Everyone danced, and sang for my grandparents with costumes and all! :) It was a really fun night, my grandparents even got to cut wedding cake.

Steve and I had a great time and we can't wait for the next reunion! Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa!

River Rafting Adventure

Dang the weekends sure go by fast. I can't believe it's already another work week! Our weekend with one another was a lot of fun! Like I mentioned in my last post, we went to the cabin for the weekend with mom and dad Ford.

Friday we went boating for most of the day, and it was SOOO nice!!!! I LOVE boating! Boating is seriously one of my very FAVORITE things to do. We were all able to get a couple runs in, and the water was perfect! We had lunch, and also was able to take a little nap, enjoying the nice weather.
We went back to the cabin around 4, we all ate dinner and then Steve, Ellen and I played some games while Bob worked outside. I seriously love Ellen. She is so much fun to be around! I seriously am super blessed to have such an awesome mom-in-law.

After we played some games, the three of us went to this little educational meeting that Manilla does. (I can't remember what they call the meeting) Any who, the lady who spoke, had a slide show on the old west outlaws. I'm not going to lie, at first I was a little unsure of how interesting this would be, but once we got there and listened to lady speak, it was REALLY interesting. It was also really nice to be sitting outdoors enjoying the night sky.
The educational meeting lasted about an hour, and then we went back to the cabin and had some chips and salsa with a smoothie. We enjoyed our snacks outside on the new patio they put it in. :)

Saturday morning we met with our family friend, Alan at Dutch John. (it's an hour away from Manilla) Alan is a super sweet guy, he invites the Fords every year to go river rafting with all of his family. Steve and I went 2 years ago, and we loved it! I couldn't wait to go again.
Not only do we enjoy the GORGEOUS view of the river, but everyone has a HUGE water fight. Everyone brings squirt guns, buckets, you name it. It's really funny because you can make alliances with other rafts and then target at one specific one and "corner" them. It's So dang fun! I wish I had pictures of the fight, but we don't have a water camera....maybe next year?

Our weekend get a way was so nice! I had a great weekend, thanks again mom and dad Ford!
*I'll post pictures this weekend!! I haven't had any time to download the pics on our comp :)

WOOT WOOT!

Thank goodness today is my last working day for the week! I love working my 4-10 hr days!! But this week has been super hard being at work. I just want to stay home and be with Steve. (He doesn't start school until next week) Besides that fact the I have to come and work,this week has been really nice. Steve's been meeting me at work so we can have lunch together. I seriously love it! And I love coming home and Steve's there! :) It is SO nice to come home to somebody.

Steve and I are going to the Cabin tonight-Saturday. I'm super excited! We are going to go BOATING tomorrow!!! I have only been boating one time this summer, and Steve hasn't gone at all. We seriously have been deprived.
Saturday we are going river rafting, I'm excited about that too! Wahoo! :)
It should be a very fun weekend! I'll post pictures when I get back!

Extremely Grateful


Wow, words just can't describe how grateful I am. This weekend was absolutely amazing!! The fact that Steve and I were reunited makes me so HAPPY!!

Thursday night my little sister Kjersti slept over. My mom and dad went on a river rafting trip with some friends, so Kj was able to come and help me decorate for Steve's arrival on Friday!
I had a lot of fun with little Midge! She helped me blow up balloons, and helped me put up the banner that I made Steve.
On Friday morning, she even did my nails and hair! What a sweetheart! :) She wanted me to look extra special for Steve. She also kept me pretty occupied, so i wouldn't go crazy waiting for him to arrive!
Steve came HOME at 3, and even though I was pretty occupied the time seriously couldn't come fast enough!
Steve called me as he was driving into the neighborhood, so I ran outside and waited for him. It was such a relief to have my husband home and safe with me. Seriously, words can't describe how happy we both were to be back together again.
Steve is SOO sweet too. He surprised me with roses! How sweet and thoughtful is that? He just drove a two day drive, and still picked me up roses. I seriously am so lucky.
After many tears, and catching up we were able to just spend time with one another. It was so wonderful eating dinner at our home and cuddling on the couch watching a movie, it was perfect.

Saturday morning, I had to take a double take when I saw Steve laying next to me in bed. I knew he was home, but it almost seemed like it was too good to be true.
Saturday was a fun day for us! Todd and Larissa asked us to come over, they wanted to show Steve their new Town home. I already had seen the town home, but they surprised both of us when we were greeted by a new little puppy!! It's so cute! They got a Maltese/Schnauzer mix. The puppy is super cute! They named the little guy Polo. It was a lot of fun to see them and their new little addition to their family.
Later, Steve and I went to the Country Fest for South Jordan. South Jordan celebrated 150 years! It was really fun, they had a carriage ride from the parking lot to the park where we had our packed lunches. All the food there was only 5-10 cents! (celebrating what it would be like 150 years ago) They also had a band playing, a coach ride and games for kids. They also had old fashion pictures for only $10.00! You seriously can't go wrong there. It was a really fun date night, and didn't cost very much!
Later that night, Whit came over and stayed the night with us while Steve's parents were out of town.

Sunday, was definitely special. Sunday morning the three of us went to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple dedication. I loved every minute of it. The talks and music were wonderful, and I was sitting right next to my eternal companion. I felt overwhelmed by the spirit, and so happy to be able to participate in such a neat event. Steve and I really are so blessed to have one another, and that we have such an amazing prophet and church.
After the dedication we were all able to go home, and relax. Marie called me and asked if Steve and I could watch little Deni, while they went to the temple dedication. We of course said yes! We love little Deni! We also wanted to see Tim and Marie. We love there little family!
Steve and I had SO much fun watching her! She is seriously so cute. I can't wait for when Steve and I have our own little kids. Hopefully, that will be in the near future!
To end our Sunday night, we went over to Steve's parents house and had dinner with the fam. We also have a good time spending time together!
Steve and I were definitely worn out from the weekend, we fell asleep on the couch at 8, and didn't move into bed until 3:30!

We had such a fun weekend together, and I'm SO happy that my hubby is here to stay!!!
