Thankfuls....

With Thanksgiving approaching right around the corner, I thought I would spend a moment to share some of the many things I am thankful for! :)
1) The beautiful world we live in.....
We are blessed to live in such a beautiful place. No matter where you look you can see the hand of the Lord and all the blessings he gave us. I love to look at all the beauty around and feel the Lord's love. I cant even imagine how much more wonderful and beautiful it will be to live with him but I cant wait! :)

2) Friends.....
(You will have to excuse the fact that most of these pictures come from our wedding but its where I have the most pictures of everyone!) I am so thankful for mine and Jason's friends. I know for a fact that we would not be who we are today without them. They are always there for us and we love them dearly. You could not ask for a better group of friends and I hope they all know how much we appreciate them in our lives....and they all should come visit more! :)

3) My girls....
These 2 plus their roommate are probably my favoritest people alive...they are my girls! They truly are the sweetest girls you will ever meet and they light up my live. They are truly unforgettable, no matter where life takes me, these girls will never be forgotten! I love you girls!

4) Technology...
I know that this is something I need to be better at but I depend on technology so much. I dont think I could go through a single day without using technology (i am starting to feel pathetic) so technology is something I am definitely grateful for. It makes things easier for me and probably makes my life a lot less boring...as long as I dont spend all day with it!
5) My education...
I am truly grateful for the education that I have and am learning. I love learning and making my mind work. I am grateful to USU for letting my gain my education there! Here's a shout out to the aggies! :)

6) Work....
No matter how much I despise work some days I am truly grateful that Jason and I both have jobs and make enough money to get the bills paid. We are in no way rich....far from it, but we make enough to live reasonably for which I am truly grateful!


7) I am a daughter of God...
I am thankful that I know that I am a daughter of God. I know that he loves me and I truly love him. He has given me so many blessings in my life. Life would truly be unbearable if I didnt know this. I am thankful for his guiding spirit that helps me each and every day. Thank you Heavenly Father for always being there for me!

8) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint...
I am so blessed to be a member of the true church. The Gospel provides so many blessings in my life. I am grateful for the knowledge that it provides me with. I would not be who I am today if I did not have the Gospel in my life.

9) My Savior...
Words can not describe the love that I feel for My Savior. I am so thankful to have such an amazing big brother who died for me and my sins. Because of him, I can be forgiven and be able to live with Him and my Father again. I am truly so blessed that Jesus Christ loves me so much and I love Him too.

10) Emma Smith...
Emma Smith is one of my greatest heroes! I am thankful for her example in my life. She was truly courageous and a remarkable woman! I hope one day to be as remarkable as her!

11) Joseph Smith...
I am so thankful that this man restored the Gospel in the Latter days. If I didnt know that there is a God out there, then knowing that a 14 year old boy restored the true Gospel is reason enough to believe there is a God! He was an incredible man and someone that I look up to immensely!
12) Thomas S. Monson....
I know that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of the Lord. I am so thankful that we have his guidance to help us in the Latter days. He is such an amazing prophet and I know that he loves all of us! I am thankful that I know this so that I can follow him!

13) The temple....
I am so incredibly grateful for all the many blessings that the temple provides. I am so thankful for the knowledge that I gain everytime I go. I am thankful that because of the temple and the covenants we make inside I am able to be with my family for all eternity. I am so thankful that we have a temple so close and I am able to attend it whenever I want. This is truly the Lord's house!


14) My family....

I have the best family ever! We are all crazy and loud but we are all always there for each other. I know that I was born into the right family. We may drive each other crazy but we love each other still the same. They are all my heroes and my best friends!

15) My siblings....
Could I possibly have cuter siblings??? I think not! They are all such wonderful examples to me! I am sending a shout out to each of you! My dear older sister, Kassi (or Kasaundra) has such a strong testimony! She is such an inspiration to me. My big brother Scott is someone that I know is there for me when I need him. My little brother Trevor is one of the funniest boys you'll meet. He is a great artist and I love the stories he writes (yes I kept them all!) He acts tough but he is so sweet and cares about so many people. My little brother Ben is such an amazing example to me. He is such a good listener and cares for all he meets. He is a friend to all. He has such a strong testimony and blesses so many people! My little brother Jonathan is so talented and does so well at growing in his talents. My little brother Tony is such a caring boy! He is so fun and such a talker! My little brother Daniel loves all. He is so musical and loves to share his abilities! My little sister Maggie is a star! She is always so happy and bubbly, she makes everyone want to smile!


16) Elsa..
How many of you thought I forgot her??? of course not, she is definitely someone you could never forget! This is my adorable little sister and my best friend! She is always there for me. We probably talk and laugh too much...but then again could you ever do that. She is such an example to me! She is so fun and full of life! She loves everyone she meets and is a friend to all! If you ever need a laugh or a smile, this is a girl that you need to go talk to! i love you sister!


17) My parents....
These are the best parents that a girl could ask for! They are such an example to me! They have done so much for me and I will always be repaying them for all they did. The one thing I remember growing up is that they were always letting us know how much they loved us and each other! They have taught me so much and are still teaching me! I love them both so much!!! :) Thank you mom and dad for all you have ever done for me and will continue to do!!



18) My "other" family...(aka the in laws)
I married into such a wonderful family! They have welcomed me right in and I know they love me! I love them all too! I love how much fun we have with them and how sweet they all are! There arent many people who would record a show for me just because i dont have cable! :) I know that Jason is who he is today because of the family that he is in! I am so grateful for how they raised him!

Last but certainly not least....this amazing man....
19) Jason Kinkaid Clark...
I am so incredibly grateful for my husband! He is my best friend! He is the most caring person ever. He is always trying (and mostly succeeding) to make me laugh. He always has so much fun and makes sure that everyone is included in his fun! He has such a strong testimony of the gospel and is such an example to me. He definitely makes sure that I am thinking as we study the scriptures or the doctrine together! He is truly the most amazing person ever!
I am so thankful that I am married to him and that I get to spend the rest of forever with him! I love him so much! He is my everything and definitely my better half!

Thanks for reading about everything I'm thankful for and know I suggest that all of you go do the same!! Its such a great thing to do!!

Birthday Celebration!

My birthday was last monday and my sweet husband made it such special day! The day before I had to work the grave. Right after working I went straight to church. Jason was 30 minutes late and I was worried he fell back to sleep but when I came home I found a completely clean apartment! Isnt he so cute?! He woke up early and cleaned for me! :) He had already given me my present a few days earlier so that he could set it up and I could decorate.
BUT waiting on the table was a card and box. He had gotten me scriptures with my new name plus a hymn book, children's song book and all the primary songs on cd. He spoils me so much! That night we spent with my family celebrating. So much fun!

Monday morning we woke up and got ready. Jason then took me out to eat at einstein's bagels. This is where we went the day after we got married so its our special place! After eating we headed down to go attend this amazing temple...
Jason knew that I have wanted to go here so bad so he got the day off school to take me! It was the best thing ever! I love going in the celestial room with Jason, there is no place I would rather be and I wouldnt want to be with anyone else. I am so happy that this is the man that I get to spend forever with! :)
After the temple we left to go out to eat. I have never been to Macaroni Grill and Jason thought I had better go. It was definitely some good food but dont worry we got lost getting there and it took us a half hour to go 4 blocks!!

After the temple we wandered over to wendy's to go get changed and of course Jason bought a frosty! It makes me laugh how he never stops eating but never gains weight, lucky guy!
We attempted to take pictures of each other as we walked back to temple square but as you can tell when I take the picture(top) Jason is mainly in the picture and when Jason does (bottom) I'm mainly in the picture.

We went back to temple square and walked around some more. Jason scared off some sister missionaries and he feels way bad so now we're not allowed to go back he say until he is sure they are gone...haha. We walked around downtown shopping and spending time with each other.


After we had to ride the trax just because we could so excuse the blurry picture but this is us having fun riding!
We were going to meet up with some friends from Jason's mission after so we drove out to Dairy Queen to wait for them to call us. Of course it took us forever to find it and we spend an hour to find a place that was about 15 miles away! oh we're smart.
They ended up calling to say that they were busy so wecalled it a day and headed home. Such a fun day! I love this cute guy and am so glad that we got to spend so much together! :)
toodles!

I know we have been busy lately but i cant think of anything to write...crazy! well i'll write some things that I remember!

Fall break was a week and half ago. It was so nice to have Jason home for the day with me! :) The day before we both slept through the alarm so Jason pretty much had a 2 day break. We decided to go to the temple that day. We went and did sealings which was so amazing! I love being sealed to Jason and knowing that I get to be with him forever! It was wonderful to be able to help others get that same blessing! I LOVE THE TEMPLE!!





We got family pictures on the miller side that saturday. Our wedding photographer took the pictures and he does such an amazing job! Here is some more from the shoot! Dont I have the cutest family?! (Hopefully we can get the family pictures from Jason's side that were taken and i'll put them up on here!)












Jason's lawn spraying job ended a couple of weeks ago. Its a seasonal job. so he took a week break and is now working for my dad. He is so hard working, with 2 jobs and school! he takes such good care of me :)

I get my wedding ring back tomorrow! :) It has been in the shop being soldered together and i have greatly missed it! Random fact for you all.

Other than that, we have just been enjoying life together! we are definitely busy but always find time for each other! we are so looking forward to our date to hamilton's tomorrow....YUMMY!

PS 2 weeks until my birthday! Hooray!

Lets end with some fun photoshop....hahaha!

where to begin....

wow, i've been busy and havent had time to update this! but cute jason did, aw I love him! We have been having fun and enjoying each other! Lets see if I can remember everything to tell you guys!
Last sunday (the 4th) was mine and Jason's 1 month anniversary. Since it was a sunday we celebrated the day before by going to
we both loved it and cant wait to go back!! It is GREAT food for a very decent price!

On sunday we got together with some of our friends for a conference bbq. which ended up of course in playing rockband....i think some people are addicted! They of course were all shocked when they learned that i didnt know any Elvis songs. I know I need to catch up on my oldies!

Thursday we both had the entire day off. We have both been fighting the flu so we were so happy when that day we both felt great! We didnt do a whole lot exciting but it was wonderful to just be together all day! One thing we did that we were excited about was we bought fish! we bought 6. 2 zebra (fergus and felix) 2 red eye tetra (mac & cheese) a sucker fish (phoebe) and a crab (mr crabbes)



That night we had Jason's sister and husband over for dinner. We hadnt seen them in a while (haha a month) so it was nice to catch up. we had yummy hawaiian haystacks. I'm slowly learning how to cook. Then we watched monsters vs. aliens with them.. I love that show! Jason went out with derek and eric to play frisbee that night after (he cant live a day without playing lol) sharra and I got bored alone at the house, so we grabbed jason's nerfs swords and guns to attack them. They didnt even suspect it so it was hilarious!

Saturday my parents went to a Used concert with trevor so I hung out with ben. We played worms (a game for the xbox) and ordered pizza. definitely a fun night!

On sunday, I taught my first lesson in nursery! kinda scary but the kids seemed really interested so i'm hoping that means i did well!
That night when we came home from my parents we found cheese in the claws of mr. crabbes. I screamed and ran to the kitchen while jason took care of him. the poor fish was cut in half with its eyes out! so gross! As soon as we could we went and got him his own cage so we didnt have any more fish dying! the lame store told us he would live peacefully with our fish! we're not believing them anymore.
That night I had to run poor Sasha to the ER. She was running a fever so we went to get her checked out. After waiting for 2 hours and doing an xray they told us that it looked like she was getting the flu (THEY WERENT EVEN SURE!!!) so lucky her gets time off of school. She's enjoying the rest and we're all praying she gets better.

Thats about all that's happened in our exciting lives! Just enjoying all the time we can together! i'm just leaving a picture of the 2 of us from a few weeks ago out to eat with the family! (thanks for the pic Elsa!) Hope you enjoy it!

2nd post

Well i guess its my turn. Naomi keeps telling me to read this and post on it, so hi everyone. I'm not much for getting on these sorts of sites though so don't expect a lot of posts from my end.
Married life is better than i ever thought it would be. Learning how to do everything together has been quite the adventure. From shopping trips to obtaining insurance, its all been a load of fun. Working together has taught me a lot, the best ways to save money but also getting your moneys worth, new budget ideas, cooking at home, etc. I learn more everyday and its great. Unfortunately i am no longer allowed to go shopping by myself, apparently frozen pizzas and junk food aren't good ways to eat all the time.
Well, thats about it for me, i can't think of anything else to say. i love being married to Naomi! She is definitely my best friend! bye guys
