Fun Ruiner....

If you follow Chris and I's blog (eeandcv.blogspot.com) then you would already know the news, I got my passport last night!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! I wish work wasn't in my way cause I would be *IN* Canada right now with my amazing boyfriend!!!!! But I am going on January 4th-January 11th, for sure!!!! I'm pretty excited cause we will be going to the Edmonton Mall and I will get to meet alot of his close friends and his family as well. His dad is really excited to meet me and I am really excited to meet them all as well. Its going to be a really different thing for me because I've never been out of the country first off, and I've never been on an airplane. So I'm freaking out about that but Chris assures me that I will be fine and that I shouldn't be nervous or scared.

I really do love Chris and all that he's done for me. He really is such an example and always knows how to make my day and make me smile. I love him more than anything in this world. He has shown me how to be loyal, kind, and honest to people around me. I've become less tempered having him around. Things have definately changed since I have met him and I know that me meeting him is all for my benefit and the best for me. He is one of my best friends and I tell him everything. He knows me better than I know myself. I am grateful and I thank God all the time for sending him here to be with me, and to stay with me. :) It gives me chills but I know that its true, and I know that the Lord will continue to bless us in all that we do if it is according to his will.

Halloween Week!!!

So next Saturday is Halloween, for the whole week at work we can dress up!!! Pretty cool, right? However I only have one costume (I left all the ones I WAS going to use at mom's), so I'm pretty stretched for time AND money but want to have a different costume the entire week. If anyone has any ideas, could they please let me know ASAP!!! I have to be able to work in it, no masks, and kid appropriate. We cant just wear jeans and call it a costume either, it has to be a legit costume. I work 4 days next week so if you could give me some ideas, that would be awesome. I cant just go to the store and buy 3 other costumes, I could buy something cheap but I dont know. THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!

(if anyone actually reads my blog anymore....) :(

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the time off on January 4th- January 11th. :) So YAY!!!!! I cannot wait to go!!!! AH!!!!!! I was so happy when I found out I got the time off!!!!! YAY!!!!! :) :) :)

The Latest....

I put in my passport a week ago today!!!! I talked to work and they said I couldn't have time off to go up there as soon as my passport comes (November). So we've decided I would go up after Christmas. :)

But.. even better news, Chris says he is going to come on December 10th and stay until December 29th and WE will go back to Canada TOGETHER! My first time on a plane and I will actually be leaving with him this time!!!! But two weeks after, he will have to say goodbye to me, and see how hard it really is!! As most or ALL of you know, my birthday is December 11, so I get to have my boyfriend here for my birthday AND Christmas!!! I'm so freaking excited!!!! YAY!!!!

This means we will be with each other for a month, straight! Of course, I will be working alot in between those days that he is here but I don't really care. I worked alot when he was here last time, so I will just work my butt off. This is all up in the air still, we still dont know how long I can stay and I haven't really told my parents about the cost of the plane ticket yet, since they will be paying for most of it, which that will be my Christmas present from them to me. :)

YAY! I'll keep ya'll posted if things change!!! :)

Loveya!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I submitted my passport TODAY!!!!! 3-4 weeks till I'm going to Canada!!!!! If things go the way I'd like them to, I will be leaving November 12th!!!! But as we all know when we make plans, they could all change. But I just felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders when I submitted my papers. The only thing is it was a little more expensive than I thought. $101.10 which still isn't bad because the passport is good for 10 years!!!!! I can't believe this is all happening so good and will be a lot faster. I've never been on a plane so I am very nervous and scared about that but I know I will do fine. Chris has talked me through the airport thing many times so I kinda know what I'm going to expect. I've been looking at flights and I'm looking at about $500! Not bad!!! Still need to discuss it with my parents though cause I know for a good fact I won't be able to afford to pay the full $500!!! Anyways, I'm just so excited!!!! YAY!!!! I'll keep ya'll posted and updated more!!!! Loveya!

Conference!!!!

Alright! It's that time of year again!!! We just had conference this past weekend and can I just tell you that I loved it? Of course, I didn't pay alot of attention since my ENTIRE family was at my mom's. Yep, all of us. That never usually happens but it was really good to be with my brothers and sisters and their families. And even better Chris was here so I was just a happy little camper all weekend.

In between the Saturday morning session and the Saturday afternoon session, JD, Chris, Matt, Hiett, and I went below town and went shooting clay pigeons. That was really fun. That night while the boys were at the Priesthood session, I did alot of scrapbook pages in my 6x6 book that mom got for me. I actually finished it and may post some of the pics of my favorite pages but we'll see. I dont want this turning into a scrapbooking blog. ;)

Sunday was fun. More conference and more good food. I always love going to my mom's cause I can tell her exactly what I want as far as meals and she can make it for me. It was Bobbie's husband Ryan's birthday that day so we had his favorite food. (chicken strips, dutch oven potatoes, and pot luck salads from the day before) Mom made a yummy mint chocolate cake as well.

Monday was a hard day for me. I had to take Chris back to the airport. :( We both cried alot but we know we will see each other soon. I'm submitting my passport papers in either today or this next week depending on how it goes. I really want to go up to meet his friends and family. I know they can't wait to meet me too.

Just a little update for ya'll. I'm working at Michaels now if you didn't already know. I love it. Things are starting to get stressful with the holidays coming up and not being able to take time off for 2 months but I love that I know I'm going to have a full work week for 2 months. Wednesday nights I am taking an Institute class with my best friend Jenny. We are taking Dating and Courtship and I love it. I'm learning so much more about the church and I am just loving all of it. My amazing boyfriend Chris is still amazing and I still love him more than anything in this world. We are taking the steps and measures we can to be good people and yes, marriage is in our daily talk BUT it is far into the future so dont be getting ready to come to a wedding for me just yet. I have the best friend in the entire world who I love so much. We don't get to hang out as much as I'd like to because our schedules are completely opposite but when we do it is sure fun. We talk/text every day and I dont know what I would do without Jenny in my life right now. She has been such a strength to me and I just love how I can be myself around her and she brings out the best in me. I love my family and its only getting bigger. Tiff and Ryan are going to have their 2nd on TUESDAY! I am so excited for him to come. I bet he will look a lot like Kolby! :D

This is long enough for now but thanks to those who read and follow my blog. I enjoy writing. I just need to update more on a regular basis. But I will. I just need some motivation.

foto's.. <3

My friend Val needed models so I told her Chris and I would so here are some. More on Facebook or you can ask me and I can show them to you as well. They turned out WAY cute!!!!! Thanks again Val!!!!! We love them all!!!!!

CAN'T WAIT!!!!

So, some of you may already know this but some of you may not but Chris is coming out this weekend and staying for not just a weekend but for 18 days!!!! Could I be any more happy?? I really dont think so. He'll be staying at Bobbie and Ryan's cause the rules at my apartment clearly state that I cant house a person of the opposite sex. Plus, it will keep us on our fast track to always doing what's right!!! I can't wait for him to be here closer to me and around me alot more. I'll be able to see how he is on a daily basis and just get to know him a lot more!!!

Things have just been falling into place ever since Chris and I have been talking. I was out of a job for a week or so before we started talking then I got the job at Michaels a month after that. Then I finally met Chris and things just started to get better and better. I've been trying to go back to church and read my scriptures and do all I can to be a better person.

I love Chris so much and I'm so happy he will be here longer than just a weekend. I'll keep you all updated!!! ;)

On Rattlesnake Rapids... reaaally cold!!! Playing in the Fountain at Lagoon!

Right before I kicked everyone's trash on the Go-Karts!!!


Chris in his pink car.... :P

Skerrd to ride Wild Mouse.

This trip we went to Lagoon!!! We had a lot of fun. We only rode one roller coaster which was the Wild Mouse. But that was okay. We went on a Friday so all the lines were pretty huge. We rode on the big tall ferris wheel... remind me to never do that again. I didnt think I was that afraid of heights but then I got on that and freeeeaked out. Good thing Chris was there to calm me down. We rode the Go-Karts which was alot of fun, sat and talked, ate Taco's for lunch, and had dip n dots ice cream later. It was a really fun day.

The next day we went to the movie 500 Days of Summer. I really liked that movie alot!!! Later in the afternoon we went to Jenny's pool party. We didnt bring suits but ended up jumping in with all of our clothes on. Chris even had his socks on. Silly boy!! We played Marco Polo and splashed for a bit then went to Bobbie's house and ate yummy chicken enchiladas. After that, we played with Kaylin, watched some tennis, and ate ice cream for dessert. Later that night, we drove home to Oak City and stayed up most of the night just talking. It was really great. Sunday there was no church due to the Oquirrh Temple being dedicated so we relaxed and played with the kids for the day. Mom made a roast and it was sure good. Everyone left so we hung out with Matt and then went to bed. Monday morning we left kinda early to take him back to the airport. I was really sad sending him back this time cause I didnt know when he was going to be coming back. BUT... I do now!!! Sept 18! :)

I'm so grateful to have Chris in my life. He brings so much happiness to my heart and I love him more than anything in the world. He's an amazing man who knows how to make me smile. I cant believe its been almost 3 months since we started talking and we already know all about each other. We're going on our 4th week of seriously dating and its going great. I cant wait to spend more weeks talking to him. He's my best friend and I dont know what I would do without him.
