My favorite

Roses are great and all (I should know, having become one myself :) ), but red roses just don't really do it for me. I love stargazer lilies, and my wonderful husband knows it. So, not only did he slave away at a yummy dinner (he even braved yeast!), he got me my favorite flowers. When I came home from work on Valentine's Day, it was the best evening-in to date! Jess is the best!

Hangin' with the Fam

We tried valiantly to keep Michael's hand down, but he really wanted that camera!

Michael more interested in Uncle Jess than the camera at this point

After dinner, we went back to my parents, where Michael and Megan played ring around the rosies over and over again. That is Megan singing in the video. Michael just laughed and wanted Megan to sing some more. 

Skiing (finally!)

We have been so busy this winter, we just barely hit the slopes for the first time this season. Good powder, not too cold- it was great!

Happy 2nd Anniversary!!

Jess and I were married two years ago in the Seattle, Washington Temple. It is hard to believe that we have already been married for that long! When we got married, I had just graduated from BYU in Nursing and was stressing about taking my boards, getting a job, and trying to live in the "real world". Jess was facing 2 1/2 years of Engineering at BYU, and it seemed like we would never been done with school!

Now, Jess has only 4 months (and counting!) until his undergraduate work is finished, and then it is most likely grad school after that. I am proud of Jess and how much he has accomplished in these two years. I have worked for almost two years as a Labor and Delivery nurse at UVRMC in Provo, and am starting to teach part-time at BYU in the Nursing Program as well. We've gone through heartache and side-splitting laughter, frustrations and pure bliss, and love each other more than ever.

I love you sweetheart!!

A snowed-in Christmas
