The first week of the married life!

Our first week of marriage was a breeze!... Haha our wedding was great, more rushed then I wouldve liked it to be but altogether it was a blast! I got to stand across from my beloved Blake and call him my husband. I can't wait til we can kneel across one another in the temple and become sealed for the rest of eternity!

Along with the great wedding came a great honeymoon! We spent Saturday in an AMAZING cabin up at sundance, thanks to my parents! And then we spent the rest of the week in Vegas! Shopping, walking the strip, and going to a lot of exhibits and an aquarium! While on our honeymoon we spent a few nights at the hard rock and the rest of the nights at the new Aria hotel!! We got an amazing corner view suite!! Our honeymoon was really relaxed and fun!! We spent every minute of every hour by each others side (which was no different from our ordinary days lol). When we got home we opened presents and with our wedding gift cards we remodeled our WHOLE place!! Lol it looks way nice and feels more like OUR home everyday!!

Blake and I have not yet broken the habit of staying awake until 3 in the morning haha I think that one is gonna take awhile! We stay up all night hanging curtains, decorating or laying in bed watching CSI with a bowl of cereal in hand. I LOVE being able to wake up next to Blake in the mornings! Even though his stinky feet stink up the whole room lol ;]

Foxie is doing great! She is one of the best parts of Blake and my life together! We even headed home from our honeymoon a couple days early because we were missing her terribly haha. She is still a great puppy and we love having her around especially at nights when she returns to her spot between Blale and I, curls up in a ball and snuggles to sleep. Eventually when Blake and I buy a home we will add another little pup to our family so our Foxie has a companion :]

As you all know Easter was yesterday! Blake and I decided that we weren't going to give each other anything for Easter so we could save money. Well... When I woke up I headed into the kitchen to start frosting my sugar cookies, I turned the corner and this...



Is what was waiting for me!! I instantly started to bawl, walked back to our room, got back into bed, and curled up next to my husband! He just laughed at my tear stained cheeks, kissed me, and tole me he loved me. This will forever be a remembered moment in my life. After I finished frosting all the cookies Blake and I packed up our stuff and headed over to the party at Gran and Grandads house! There I tried my first piece of lamb.... Yum :/ haha after lunch we hid eggs and the kidos went out and collected them. Blake and I then went and got our Fox at home and then went to his parents house where a couple hours later Nick, Clenece and thier little kids showed up! We ended the night with dinner and a HUGE sleepover at Scott and Lynels house (Blakes parents :])

Although I wasn't able to celebrate Easter with my family back at Orem, I was able to spend it with my new family! I have been so blessed! On March 27, 2010 I not only obtained a husband but I gained 3 beautiful nieces, 2 oh so handsome nephews, a great mother and father, 2 amazing sisters and 2 brothers! (1 of whom I can't wait to meet when he gets back from his mission in August!) the Lord has blessed me SO much and I look forward to every night when I am able to kneel down and thank him for all that he has given me! I will forever be grateful!

Thanks for reading! Hope to post again soon! Love always Kathy A. THOMPSON!!! ;)

Looking forward 

Woke up missing...

This morning was a tough one for me. Waking up alone isn't all that great. The feeling of loneliness, desolation, and being forsaken washed over me. Although I know I am never alone or abandoned sometimes one can't help but feel. Thats how ive been feeling The past couple of nights and mornings. I know that things will be different and are slowly going to change but I can't help but fall asleep early while Blake is still here just so I don't have to fall asleep alone. Some mornings I just wish I could stay asleep till the middle of the day so that I will at least be awaken by birds and light rather than silence and darkness. Her bell is the only thing that keeps from crying.

You never know how much something or someone means until that something or someone is gone. Leaving home wasn't so difficult for me. I had Blake to ease the transition so that my heart wouldn't ache for my loved ones as much. All is well until my light leaves for the night.

Mornings such as today's make me think about what I've left behind. Though life now is as better than ever I still can't help but wonder if things will ever be the same. So much was givin up but so much was never forsaken.

I don't miss much; I just miss my family. Will there ever be those late night slurpee runs? The Wednesday night skiing? How about those state street drives with the long talks, laughter, and tears? One can only help but wonder. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. But does it? Or does it just make those once seemingly long talks on the phone turn to short text messages then to nothing? They said we'd be best friends forever.... I thought it was so but sometimes thoughts seem to play silly games with your heart.

I never thought it would be possible to miss family so much. I guess it is. I miss my parents, though I just saw them a couple weeks ago, days will never be able to replace months. I miss my Dads tight hugs, his warm hands and gentle "I love you, my Katanga girl" I miss being his baby girl. -Blossom smile some sunshine down my way, lately I've been lonesome. I miss my Moms advice it is always welcomed, I miss her humor, and love for everything in this world (Gods great creations) I miss her testimony. I miss my sisters and the relationship we once had. I keep thinking to myself "if I knew this was how it was going to be... Would I have left?" I don't know the answer just yet. I know my future is bright with Blake does that mean I have to take my light off the past? I miss the late night movie marathon, the pool playing, and the adventures we all took together. The only thing permanent about change is change itself. Did we have to change? I miss my nephews and the laughter they brought to my life. I wish I could watch them grow up. Be their "favorite" Aunt again.

It's amazing how fast life changes how much life takes and gives. This morning was a tough one for me. Waking up alone isn't all that great. The feeling of loneliness, desolation, and being forsaken washed over me. Although I know I am never alone or abandoned sometimes one can't help but feel.


I love you all and am so grateful for the opportunity to share my life with you and have you share yours with me. Thanks for all your love and support!

Hope...

The past couple of months have taken me above and beyond. It's been awhile since I last posted and since technology is amazing I can now blog from my phone.

Over the past little while my relationship with Blake has grown to an unmistakable bond of faith, trust, hope, love, and support. I have learned to trust in Blake, to know that no matter what we are in this together. Since august first I have seen Blake almost every day and each one has been an adventure filled with laughter and joy. On November 11, 2009 we both took one of the biggest steps of our lives. He got down on one knee and with that little twinkle in his eyes he asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes because I am sure with all my heart he truly is the one person in the world that will make me the happiest in this world! Since then we have been able to celebrate our first Christmas together down in Orem with my family and The New Year in Saint George. Like every couple, we have had our ups and downs but when the day comes to a close, we both know how much we truly love each other and we muster up the patience to sit down talk things out and learn to overcome. On Christmas Day we had the opportunity to move into our first place! But since we aren't quite married just yet I live here byself until the day Blake and I get to seal the deal ;) Until then I get to have the wonderful opportunity to listen and become aquanted with all the "wonderful" and frightfully scary noises this place has to offer me in the dead silence of the night. Yipee. But like they say, "A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!"

My days are quite busy but simple. They usually consist of waking up, taking my shower, getting ready, breakfast, teeth, quick clean up, and off to work! At the chocolate factory, I do what the business suggests... Make chocolate candies! You think that'd be a great job but believe me... Chocolate can get old and un-flavorful! After my long and "gruesome" 6 hour shift comes to an end, I get gas in my car and head back to my cozy house where the man of my dreams await.

Since the construction business hasn't picked up much Blake has little to no work and so money has been kind of short. Not that I am complaining because we both have amazing parents who have helped us overcome money issues wether it be small as in buying a few groceries or big as in loaning us a whole months worth of rent. Regardless to say I will forever be grateful for the hands that they have been so kindly to lend. Hopefully though since UPS has an opening, Blake will be able to get an awesome job.

Aside from the money (which isn't to much of a daily trial) My life with Blake has been pretty awesome. I'm glad to be able to say that the Lord has truly blessed me with a wonderful man and soon to be husband with a wonderful life! And I am forever grateful for the constant feeling of security that the Lord has been able to place in my life.

I love you all and am so grateful for the opportunity to share my life with you and have you share yours with me. Thanks for all your love and support!
