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!
