we never take myspace/facebook pictures of us anymore because we don't use our point and shoot. it's not really easy using the slr to do pics like these. so some ended up blurry or with weird angles. whatever. we had a great night at a really yummy restaurant. grant spoiled me with flowers too. and a fridge full of all my favorite treats. i bought him "scrabble slam!" i like our love now better than ever before. just feels so much more real. it's been a great four years. "love and marriage.. love and marriage... go together like a horse and carriage..." i think that is my favorite frank sinatra song. and frank sinatra now makes me think of landau eugene murphy jr. if you don't know him... you are missing out. winner of AGT this year. here is his audition. 

tres anos

so this year we spent our third anniversary (october 12) in a u-haul driving all day. we made a 24 hour trip to utah to bring back all of our stuff in storage. we figure even though that may not have been ideal for celebrating... we are in hawaii right now and we can probably count this as our celebration ;) we are here for grant's job. both of us had never been here before so it's new and exciting. i love seeing random chickens walking around and i'm very tempted to chase them. we are on the side of the island where parts of jurassic park were filmed and it is beautiful.

i love my granty poo. he is so sweet to me. i still can't wait to see him every day. he works so hard for us and i appreciate him so much. he is my best friend. the way we know each other now, i could have never even imagined. hopefully that made sense. i feel so lucky to have him by my side for the rest of my life.

amen.

two.

365 days of marriage

What an amazing year it has been. I can't imagine my life without Grant. He is truly my dream come true in every way. I have loved spending everything with him. Our love has matured in so many ways that I cannot explain. Being able to step away from everything this weekend and just focus on each other was everything that we needed. After listening to Conference and after reading a lot of the Nie Nie Dialogues, I have realized how important it is to be grateful for the small things. When I do this, I am filled with joy and I really feel that Life is just so sweet.


I am so grateful to the lord for putting such a special boy on the earth, Grant is an example to me in so many ways. He really is my hero. Sometimes I think back to the old days when we were just getting to know each other in 2005 and suddenly I am filled with butterflies. I can't believe he picked me!!! I'm even smiling as I type that. I just feel so blessed. He keeps me smiling and laughing every day.

I LOVE HIM!!!!!

Here are some pics of our wonderful celebration. I have to say Thank you

MOM for giving us such a cute little anniversary package (she is famous for always surprising someone with a fun little package for a big event, ours came with a bouquet of beautiful flowers, sparkling cider, garlic pull apart rolls, green beans and steak and cupcakes... so yummy!). Because our anniversary landed on the Sabbath, we stayed home and made a very yummy breakfast and dinner together. Monday we spent the night in Salt Lake and stayed at Hotel Monaco (love, fabulous decor.. my favorite!). Anyway it was perfect.

P.S. After eating at the most amazing Indian place in SLC Monday night, we ended up right where we took our wedding pictures over a year ago! We were trying to remember our poses, too bad we didn't have our photographer.
