WOW

So.... I have decided that I waste most of my day sitting on my butt at work, I could attempt to try and keep a blog. Our life really isn't all that exciting, but it has to get more exciting eventually doesn't it? I made this blog forever ago, and just have never gotten around to actually posting anything on it. This is my attempt to keep something else up in my life. HERE WE GO!

Tim and I met each other through some friends on a blind date, it was definitely not going to go anywhere through my eyes..he was ok, but just not what I wanted, or wanting a boyfriend at the time. I was still in high school and loving doing whatever I wanted with my friends and not being tied down to any commitments. That all changed. We kept hanging out, and then we started doing more dating.....you know how the rest goes. We got engaged in February..i think the 23rd, i know horrible that I can't even remember the date..and started to plan the wedding! Jackie was going Europe doing a study abroad in March, so I had to get as much stuff done with her here as I could! Needless to say, I did, except for Bridals :) Things seemed to be going to plan, the wedding was close, we did the final things to get ready for the temple, took out our endownments on Tom and Shauna's 40th Wedding Anniversary, that was so amazing. I was so overwhelmed, but I was so peaceful at the same time. About a week before we were to get married, Shauna had a massive ceasure causing her to forget everything about herself, her life, her family, her surroundings and everything. Luckily family was close enough and got to her fast. She was taken to the ER and scans were done of her brain, and two masses were found. When I was told I was SO scared, and could not even imagine what else could go wrong before our perfect day was supposed to happen. She was in the hospital for about 4 days, then they let her come home on her insistance that she was not going to be missing any part of our lifes during this important time. She was to sick to come to the Endownment session, but was able to make it to the acutal Wedding Ceremony, which was so much more important to both of us. 2 Days after the wedding, she had brain surgery to attempt to remove the two brain tumors. They were semi successful, but could not remove all of them due to locations in the brain. She underwent Chemo therapy and radiation for close to a month before the doctors told us to take her home and let her be comfortable with her family. She died on September 3, 2008. I feel SO incredibly pleasured to be able to live with Tom and Shauna the first few months of our marriage and be able to help take care of her. It was definately not an easy task, but I learned things about her and her sweet spirit that I never would have learned any other way. She was such an amazing woman, mother, and grandmother, and I hope that I can learn from her and her life and make my life a little better.
We are still living with Tom, he is amazing, and I really do love him like my own dad. Hes a goofy old man and always good for a hug or a chuckle. We have Tim's neice Lybi living with us. She is a very opinionated 10 year old little girl, but we still love her:) Tim is going to School full time at the U of U trying to chug through his last few semesters of Civil Engineering. He works part time also at the U in a concrete lab. I am going to school part time at Weber, and working full time as the Office Manager for Pinnacle Hospice. Life is so busy, yet at the end of the day all I want to do is go home and be with my family.
I am so blessed to have met Tim, he is absolutely amazing, and has gone through so much. He teaches me new things everyday, and will someday be a great dad. He is the love of my life, and I cant wait to spend the rest of my life with him!
