Lots of Beginnings and Endings.

Well, tomorrow is the day..the last day of school for me! After tomorrow I will be an official graphic designer! I can't believe it...I thought it would never end...and here it is right before me, and yet, I still feel as if it is not going to end. (meaning I have a project that is due tomorrow nad haven't finished it yet). But hey tomorrow is the last day!

Brad has been gone for 6 weeks! that is going by so slow...but yet, I guess fast too. Just a little over 4 weeks till I get to see him graduate from Basic Training. Than he will go on for 19 more weeks of training in Arizona...19 weeks..thats a lot longer than 10 weeks..I am barely making it now with 10 weeks. Let's just hope we will be able to communicate more and see each other more often in AIT...having FAITH this will happen!

Well not much new here....just working for GoalØ full time and finishing up school, moving aparmtents, and looking forward to seeing my hubby again :)

Brad is gone..

Well Brad has been gone for Basic Training for a week and a day, and it feels like forever. I have only heard from him 3 times, each 1 minute phone calls and the second phone call was for "strictly business" ...So really I haven't talked to him. I have received any letters yet nor an address....needless to say I am a mess. I miss him so much, and just wish I could here his voice for longer than a minute or receive a letter. I have no idea how he feels emotionally, mentally, or physically. I wish I could support him..but all I can do is sit back and wait. It is so frustrating. On those hard days at work and school, All I want is my Brad, to comfort me and help me remember that this day will pass and all will be better. I want to laugh with him, kiss, him, be with him. I knew him leaving was going to be hard...But I did not know it was going to be this hard. I am getting through it all..day by day.. But boy..I took so much for granted before he left.

Ladies-Talk to your husband, be his best friend, don't forget to say I love you...always.

I am learning the hard way of things, I am also learning what Brad and I have is true love and we will get through this separation of time apart, together.

This is not even a fraction of forever.....

Im getting old. . .

I can't believe it...Tomorrow is the big day, the day that I leave my teens, and grow up, YES, I will be 20!! Haha..It so weird I was just telling Brad, you wish to be 16 and you wait and wait and it seems like forever to get there, but turning 20...? Wow, this has come so fast, where does time go?!

Well adding to the changes of my life, Brad and I will be moving in 3 weeks, and will live with the Motts for awhile. After we move Brad will only have 2 weeks until Basic Training, than he is gone...gone for 6 months! I will live with the Motts for about 6 weeks after that to finish up my schooling at Provo College. I have decided to go back home and live with my mom while Brad is gone, I don't really want to be lonely and she needs me :) ...plus Dessie is having a cute little baby! I want to be there for that. I will be flying quite a bit, but that is okay! I like traveling...eh, sometimes!

That is an update on our lives right now, I am excited to see what Brad got me for my Birthday, he makes it sound very suspicious!

We will see what happens!

what? It is 2010?? since, when?

Well it is a new year and I can't believe it! Time goes by so fast! Brad and I have been married almost for One year and a Half! We are happy and enjoying our life together!. . A lot of changes will happen soon though. March 2nd Brad leaves for Boot Camp for 10 weeks, than on to AIT Schooling for the Army National Guard, altogether 6-7 months! Yes, to me that will be a long time. I graduate from school in April, so after that I will be moving back to TN to live with my mom! I don't really want to live alone out here in the wild wild west! :) So after Brad gets done with all his training and such we will come back to the west and Brad will complete his bachelors at BYU (2 more years of schooling).
I have some new year resolutions, but I am not sure I will fulfill them, I am going to try! I have exactly 12 weeks of school left, and one is to graduate with High Honors, which, it is looking that way that I will! YESH!

All in all Brad and I are excited about this new year and ready to keep truckin' along together! We know it might feel like a long year (due to the absence of Brad) But it to shall pass! Were excited for our future, and hope for good things to come!

The infamous "Tumor" . . .

Haha this is hilarious! But..guess what, it really did work! The bump is gone!! Got to love mom, and well of course Google Search!

Cus' we Jammin...

So recently Brad and I headed up to SLC to see a concert. A concert that only coasted us $5.00 per person hence "The Low Dough Christmas Show". At the concert we say Bomshel a new girl duo group from Idaho, they were really good, after we proceeded to see Bucky Covington, he was A LOT of fun! Very good performer, finally the greatest show was Phil Vassar. We had pretty good seats and it was Brad's First Concert!! Believe it. I couldn't, lol. I have been going to Concerts for a long time now. I think he enjoyed himself, and we swayed back and forth together singing to the words. I love country, of course I love all types of music, but Country has a special place in my heart, reminds me of home!
We had dinner at Taco Bell, one of my favorite fast food places to eat.
It was a great night! Thanks Brad for buying us tickets!

Beautiful Music..

This video is amazing, the music is fabulous and so uplifting! Hans Zimmer is an AMAZING producer. Listen and you might feel better too!

Men in Uniform

Well I had to get a picture of Brad in his Army Uniform and his "enlistment" paper. So here it is. He had to go to guard this weekend so I thought perfect timing to take a picture. I am so proud of him...im really going to miss him when he leaves for boot camp in March!!

Oh, the Joy of Christmas!

Okay! So lately I have had lots of fun surfing the internet looking for Christmas present ideas, and such. Recently I have made 2 purchases for Brad and I have 2 more to go! I love buying gifts for others and I can't wait till Brad see's his presents, hopefully I did good this year! I am enjoying looking for gifts for my family too! We don't have a ton of money, which makes it hard finding the "perfect gift" for some, but we are making do, and hopefully all will love what they get. But wait, gifts aren't the main part about Christmas, it iss the lights and the trees, and the cookies, nope, those are great too, but it's more so all about FAMILY and Jesus Christ! I am so excited to go to tennessee in 15 DAYS to be with the whole family. We are going to have so much fun being together, and the gifts won't even matter. Brad and I are looking forward to being with the whole family and talking about old memories and such. Did I mention we are driving to TN? Yes, we are this Christmas with Ryan and Brandon, ahh...plane tickets were just to expensive ..so we are driving! this will be my first time driving across the US, but the rest of my family has already had their adventures in doing so. I get car sick, so i'm a little worried about that. But hopefully everything will be okay.

So did I mention we leave in 15 days, 14, 13, not that I am counting down or anything? I am just really ready for a break from school/work and to spend time with my hubby and my beautiful and wonderful family!!

Why yes, we are models?!

So Brad and I had the chance to be "Models" for a golf course here in Utah, called Talons Cove. They got lots of bridals of me and them some good shots of Brad and me. All in all they took 450 pictures that day. We are now on a lot of their advertising for weddings. We did it for free, in exchange for free pictures, that turned out REALLY pretty! Yes, it was a year and some months later after we got married, but it was a fun experience and some great memories!

Pictures coming soon!
