Now I may try to be an occasional blogger again. Maybe even a little more than occasional.  I got married. So you missed that. ALL of that. Like, I bet all the people who don't even read my blog didn't know I was dating anyone. So yeah. We met and after dating for a while we got married. His name is Chet. That's short for Chester. JK, I think. Sometimes we have been mistaken for brother and sister on occasion. Like twice, but twice too many times.  He is fun. and cool. and he makes me laugh. and he works very hard. and I love him very much. and he loves me even though I don't make it very easy. and I am glad that he agreed to marry me on August 23, 2014. In Idaho Falls, in the temple there. On a beautiful rainy day. I love rainy days. And then I was sick. And then he was sick. Sick of me after one day of marriage, he threw up, in Hawaii, on our honeymoon. Lots. Apparently our wedding made lots of people sick.  But we had a wonderful photographer to take our pic...

To all you Canadians: Did you know that in the USofA they call  Parkades, Parking Garages? I didn't know that either until I moved here.  To all you Americans: Did you know that in Canada they call  Parking Garages, Parkades ? Go figure. I went and took pictures in a Parkade for my photography class. I got down and dirty. Literally. I was down on the ground and got all dirty.  Now I have to pick a picture that I like better. I've narrowed it down to these two: 

In terms of how years go, 2014 has been pretty rad. It's been a good  great year. It's been busy, fun, hard, exciting, scary, enlightening, beautiful, happy... It's been great. I love school. It's not always easy, but I get to create. I get to use my imagination. I'm so happy.  Watch that video. I love it. This man is wise.  Anyways I get to take a photography class and the assignments have been fun. These are the ones I've turned in so far: Zion's National Park Idaho Harold B Lee Library These are just a taste of the adventures I've have thus far this year. And it's barely February. I think it's looking out to be a fun year, and I couldn't be more stoked. 

I realized I haven't written about how lovely my life is. Well many aspects of it are lovely. Brilliant. Hilarious. Beautiful. Fun. Funny. Happy. Great. These many aspects are basically my roommates. They are the best and we have the best of times together. We like all the same things- boys, dancing, music, clothes, singing like Miranda . Sometimes I think we are the same person. They are seriously angels. More often than not, I will come home and a delicious roast will be made for dinner. Sometimes I come home and my bed has been made by the touch of an angel. I seriously have no idea how I've been so blessed. They are my best friends. They love people, they care about people. They are so kind, generous and thoughtful. They are the greatest examples to me and I am so grateful that I get to live with them. Also just take a second and appreciate their beauty. You don't find 3 roommates like this every dynasty.

As Remembrance Day gets closer I am mostly just remembering one of the greatest men to walk this earth - Grandpa Joe. I love that man, and I miss him everyday. I wear flannel shirts, it's as close to a big hug from him that I can get. Alana got me an little orchid and it reminds me of Grandpa. I go to Smiths and just look at the orchids and think of which one Grandpa would like the best. I miss that man. I was looking through some pictures I took at the funeral and I was reminded of what love looks like. I will never forget my grandpa. He is always with me. This is Love. True Love. 

Tonight I am counting my blessing. I got lost, listening to music and making this, got lost in time that is. Triangles are Jenelle's favorite. Hawaii is Jenelle's favorite. Jenelle's my favorite. This one is for you Jenelle.  #1 I am so grateful for our Saviour #2 Because of #1 I get to be with my family  ~ forever ~ #3 Temples are everywhere so that I can go there and have my very own family that can be together ~ forever ~ I'm so glad I know these things. I'm so grateful for the knowledge that no matter what, no matter where this life takes us, we will all be together ~ forever ~ There's nothing that could make me happier, and that's exactly what our Heavenly Father wants. There's nothing that could make Him happier. It's been a month. A month since we said goodbye to my grandpa's body. His body~not his spirit. I know that he's busy, just like he's always been. I know we miss him, but there's a lot of people he m...

Okay, it was actually February- not December- February 17, 2009 to be exact. I just wrote that because they sing that in Anastasia (good flick) when they reminisce. Anyways. Today I had a moment, "it was like a reminisce"(Daxflame). I was looking back at notes on the Facebook. Remember those? Yeah i didn't either. But then I remember, "Hey, I wrote those sometimes!" I usually didn't publish them or let anyone else set eyes on them. But today my one blog follower is in for a real treat. An unpublished note, that will be published, right here, right now. Actually not Right now. I will just give a little background of why I'm finally publishing it after 4.5 years. Today has been rough. Second day of school, feeling overwhelmed and lonely. Mostly missing my family and the really nice big rug in front of the fireplace. Just wanting to be at home. Feeling sorry for myself. It just hasn't been an easy few weeks. Then I found my note. At first I was wonder...
