A new life~

Well, Well, Well- What to say, how to say and where to begin..... That is the question????

First of all I met this really great guy on a blind date back in January. From there the rest is history.... Got engaged on July 9th.... Married Sept 25th~

Now the story- To make things a bit short My friend Brittany whom I danced with set me up with Garrett. We went on our first date to Stella's and then played the Wii at Brittany's. Let me tell you I totally thought I wouldn't go out with Garrett again. A few days went by and we started talking a little bit more, texting and phone calling.. Once a week we would hang out, twice a week, three times, four times and more... It wasn't until I went out of town that we realized we wanted to be exclusive.... mind you I was gone for 12 days.... They do say "time apart makes the heart grow fonder" They day we decided that it was over facebook chat on April fools day. I was thinking this guy is playing a joke on me, Is this for real? And it surely was...

As things progressed I was preparing for Miss Utah at the time and didn't want to think about getting too serious... Well after the pageant it was like a whirl wind we didn't waste time talking about marriage, a week later climbing Mount Olympus together, back packs, a tent, a lantern, my computer to watch a movie and little snacks as food we hiked to the top and set up camp. I knew something was up but didn't think twice about it... Till the ring box came out. I got the butterflies and couldn't really remember what was said or how... The morning came and we hiked to the tip top for breakfast(luna bars) and watched the sunrise. It was the perfect day!!!

Being married was a day of tornadoes in a good way. It went by so freaking fast I wish we could re-live each moment and have a time machine that would stop time. I am grateful to all my family and friends who came to support us on our most special day. Thanksgiving point was the spot- beautiful scenery, flowers, people, music, ceremony, and weather- I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Since the day of our wedding it has almost been three months. Living in a basement apartment which is quite nice- We have made some great adjustments: having one car, carpooling together or dropping off and picking up, saving money, learning to cook and or see what each other likes to eat each day.. Working out every morning thanks to GPP FITNESS!!! AND NEIL ANDERSON! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

One thing I would not recommend is going to the ER for a stomach pain. I didn't know any better! Getting back from Mexico I was really sick and having stomach issues that weren't getting better. After 5 hours in the ER with little attention from any nurse or doctor- Three prescriptions, 1400 dollars less in the bank account and no diagnosis I will never go back!!! Good lesson to learn right after your married! I am now against the hospital and doctors offices!

Snow boarding this season up in PC thanks to a wonderful mother who gave us passes. We have been able to snow board and spend time together each morning. Part of me never wants to grow up.... Garrett makes great egg breakfasts, works out like a monster- and has a body of steel. Thanks to that I need to get my butt in gear so I don't keep getting shown up!!

I forgot to mention one thing- Garrett, I and his family went to kentucky this summer. Garrett Raced in an IRONMAN!!! most amazing experience of my life to be a spectator and watch these athletes accomplish something so difficult. I cried numerous times, especially when I saw garrett, running, swimming, or biking! He truly is an IRONMAN and of course will always be my IRONMAN! Our goal is to finish one together... Someday soon:)
