Twitterpation

This is by far the best description ever given of the feeling you feel when you're in love. Here's to love! And remember, IT CAN EVEN HAPPEN TO YOU!

Flower: [about two birds fluttering around] Well! What's the matter with them?
Thumper: Why are they acting that way?
Friend Owl: Why, don't you know? They're twitterpated.
Flower, Bambi, Thumper: Twitterpated?
Friend Owl: Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!
Thumper: Gosh, that's awful.
Flower: Gee whiz.
Bambi: Terrible!
Friend Owl: And that ain't all. It could happen to anyone, so you'd better be careful.
[points at Bambi]
Friend Owl: It could happen to you…
[points at Thumper]
Friend Owl: … or you, or even...
[Flower looks at Owl shyly]
Friend Owl: Yes, it could even happen to you! 

So how does it happen, great love? Nobody knows… but what I can tell you is that it happens in the blink of an eye. And it happens when you least expect it. One moment you’re enjoying your life, and the next you’re wondering how you ever lived without them.

The Ring

This post is not about a scary movie. I have had many requests to see pictures of my engagement ring. Your wish is my command! It's incredibly beautiful. Braden picked it with the help of our two awesome sisters, Berlyn and Jess. He did such a great job! It's just right and I couldn't have picked better myself. 

(Below: shameless plug for the jeweler they went to, but we LOVE THEM! Thanks again, Stan!)

This is one of my favorite parts to the ring. This little extra diamond is custom. When Brade gave me the ring, he said that this diamond represents me and the way I stand out from all the rest. Isn't that adorable???

Including this stone, there are 29 little side stones on my ring. It was only after we set our date (July 29, 2009) that we realized the significance. Cool huh? :)

Christmas at Temple Square

This year I took a little trip to Temple Square with my soon-to-be family. We had such a great time (apart from some frozen-toe situations)! We commented on the fact that this may be the last time we set foot on the temple grounds before our wedding day! Anyway, we had an amazing first Christmas together with many more to come.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
XOXO
