Where to begin....

Wow sorry, I cant believe how long it has been since I have updated. Its crazy how quickly life keeps moving. Jason and I are both alive and doing well!
Jason is working hard as usual, both at walmart and lawn spraying. It definitely keeps him busy and I look forward to the times that I actually get to spend with him. I am surviving at work. haha I really hate calling people but its not too bad and at least it pays the bills! They are really flexible which has been nice.
As many of you know, we're expecting! :) I am 16 weeks along and we couldnt be more excited. We have about 4 weeks to until we find out what we are having so take a guess on our poll. Jason was saying that its a boy but now he's leaning towards a girl. I think its a girl. I guess we will find out soon. We can't wait to find out if we are having Kaeli or Kyler! :)
We are moving in 2 weeks! I am so excited to move, our new place is bigger and its not in a basement. but I HATE packing. Would anyone like to come pack for me...haha. We are going to be renting a townhouse right behind Shopko. It will be closer to work for us which will be nice too. We are so sad to leave our ward now. We absolutely love being in the nursery. Jason is not too sure what to think about having to go to priesthood, lol.
We are headed to Washington in a few weeks. It will be nice to see everyone but I am so dreading the drive. haha. So all my friends in Washington make sure you come see us.
Sorry this isnt much but here's an update for a little while! I promise that I will update more often and with pictures soon! We will be getting internet at our new place so it will be much easier then. I'll add ultrasound and belly pictures then. Thanks for reading!!! :)

Life...

Life has been good around here. We definitely cant complain! Jason is keeping busy with school and working walmart and I am enjoying my job at Impact. Well it pays the bills at least! :)
We celebrated our 6 month anniversary yesterday! I still cant believe I've been married to the most wonderful man for 6 monthes! I'm so excited for all the wonderful adventures that lay ahead for us!
Our nephew is getting blessed on Sunday so Chris and Ray and Duncan are up here! Its so exciting to see them! Their little boy is so cute!!!!!!! :) yep I have the darlingest nephew!

our love story!

Since my story didn't work in the last post and I can't edit it off my phone so I'm just going to write a new post! Here is our love story that won the contest!!!

Jason and I met while working at wendy's our sophomore year in high school. After flirting for almost a year I got up the nerve to ask him on a date (yep I asked him first!) The plan was to go to a play together. We enjoyed the play and decided on dinner after. After dinner, neither of us wanted to go home so we went bowling and talked until our curfews, we didn't want to leave! The next week, we hung out a lot outside of work and talked on the phone. We had a big group date planned but we had different dates. We ended up spending most of the date together anyway. We went on a couple more dates when jason asked me to be his girlfriend! We spent as much time as we could together. It was another 2 monthes before we kissed. It was Jason's first kiss and his friends had a tradition that you owed everyone cookies when you got your first kiss. It was the night of my jr. Prom (we went to different high schools) and as we were saying good night, he said that he wanted to owe his friends cookies. After another 5 minutes, he kissed me. It was cheesy but completely perfect!! We dated for a year and a half before Jason left to serve a LDS misson. We broke up when I started dating one of his good friends(yes I know completely awful of me!). Jason was such a good person and kept writing me, so we stayed in contact his whole mission. When he came home we met up with some friends and we got talking. As we spent time together I could see that he had completely forgived me. I already knew that I loved him but it was at this point I knew this was my true love. After a few weeks we started dating again. During this time, jason said he wanted to get married but that he wasn't ready, it'd be another couple years. In all actuality he was already planning it. Before I tell you the story I have to tell you my dreams for my proposal. I wanted both sets of my parents asked. I wanted it to be a complete surprise but I wanted a certain ring and I wouldn't go ring shopping with him for it. I also wanted it to creative and recorded. (Ricidulous I know but he accomplished them all!) He got on my phone when I wasn't lookng and sent himself a picture of the ring I wanted, then went and bought it. He planned the proposal for a week after we went to visit my birth mom and family in washington because he wanted to ask permission from both sets of parents, which he did! On the day he proposed, we had plans to go to a rodeo. I had to work before so we decided I would meet at his house after. I got there and his car was there (he planned every detail even taking his dad's car so I would think he was there) so I went to go get him. His mom said he wasn't home and handed me a camera. I pushed play and there was a recording of cute cowboy jason. He said he wanted to play a fun game before the rodeo and was sending me on a scavenger hunt. He said to go talk to the good managers of the south where the good food and memories were (WENDY's). I drove there so quickly! On the way I called my friend and said I think Jason is proposing. She knew he was and had been helping him but she convinced me that it was just a fun date because jason likes to do that. It made it better that she did that! At wendy's I talked to my favorite old manager and she whipped up all of my favorite foods and in the middle was another camera disc. This clue told me to head to the places with the willows to play our favorite game. Jason and I love to play ultimate frisbee at willow park so I headed straight there! There I found my sister and friends playing frisbee. I played with them and when I caught the frisbee I felt another camera disk on the bottom of it! I quickly quickly ran off with it(I was having so much fun!). This clue said to go to a place where we love to study the Gospel together and where we can be sealed together forever. I quickly went to the temple. There I found a book and 2 cute dogs guarding another clue. This one said to head to Green canyon and find something silver (his dad's truck). I got up there and found Jason! We went on a hike and talked about life. I could tell he was way nervous but I didn't dare dream he was proposing for fear he wasn't. He asked me 5 times how I was doing, it was cute. We sat on some rocks and were just talking about our time together. He stopped suddenly and said if I don't do it now I won't. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Apperently my initial response was a high pitched "are you serious?!" Then I of course sad yes! After all the hugging and kissing, we drove to our brother in law's house where Jason had our families and friends waiting to celebrate! It was incredibly perfect! We were married 2 1/2 monthes later and its been absolutely wonderful! He is my prince charming and its not like the fairy tale I dreamed of as a young girl, its even better. To me this is what true love is and I wish that everyone can be as happy together as we are! :)

What a Great Week!

Yesterday I wrote this long blog and apperently I forgot to post it, quite a sad day!
It was so wonderful to spend Valentine's day together! Valentine's is a special time of year for us because it was around this time 5 years ago that we started dating! Jason is such a romantic and always spoils me rotten, I am such a lucky girl! I worked a lot of our hours and wednesday was the worst, working 15 hours straight! I was beat by time I came home, but I cam home to an early valentine's! I came home to all this....
oh and it was a singing balloon

my absolute favorite candy!
FLOWERS!! plus a cute singing dog but I couldnt find a picture of it!

and 2 1/2 hour massages at Arkana. I have always wanted a professional massage and am SO stoked!

He is such a sweetie! We celebrated Valentine's on thursday. We went to olive garden and then to see Avatar! that was my first time and I absolutely loved it and am totally buying it when it comes out on DVD!


We just been having fun lately, especially looking for a better job for me! Jason is thinking about selling food storage! He is so funny but it sounds interesting, so if you're interested let us know!

Our exciting news of the week is we won Morgan Jeweler's love story contest!
We won a free night stay to this hotel and we are excited to have a romantic getaway together!



Have a wonderful week! we plan too!

Sorry I have been such a slacker on blogging, I have been busy trying to find another job. oh its fun!
Life has been good for us here, we have been ultra busy as always. This past week Jason has been sick and then in the process of me taking care of him, I got sick too! oh joy, so now there are 2 of us sick but we're starting to feel better so its been good.
My missy lou Natalie had her precious daughter, Syriaha! Jason and I got to go see her last week and then I went down yesterday! I have pictures but they are of course at my house, I will post them soon. She is so adorable and Natalie is the cutest mom!
My sister in law's grandma died this past week so she came up for the funeral bringing our adorable nephew, Duncan! yes i have pictures of that too but you know. He is so precious! It was a sad time for her but I'm glad she was able to come. It was good to see her and her darling son. Jason was so adorable with both babies, he is going to be the most adorable dad one day! I definitely married an incredible man!
For spring break we're planning on going to colorado and it looks like we are going to be able to go! oh my I am so incredibly stoked! I will get to meet a lot of Jason's family that I havent met so it will be fun!
I saved the exciting news for last, just so everyone would read it all...lol! I finally got a job! its not the best but i'm excited that I have one and that its full time so it will support us until I get another one. plus this way i will get paid to keep looking...lol! anyway i'm stoked! The Lord has truly blessed us and is helping everything work out!

Waiting...

I'm currently waiting for Jason to get out of class so I figured I would update our blog....so fun right?!

we'll start with new years. we celebrated with my family, it was a lot of fun! My parents always throw a big bash for the family. My favorite part this year was rocking out to rock band as loud as we could...oh and finally after waiting for awhile, getting my first new years kiss! :) I'm so excited for this new year and all that's awaiting for us!
On January 2nd, Jason and I got a new nephew. Duncan James Clark was born at 1030ish. He is SO cute! I love babies and I'm so excited for Chris and Ray!
Jason had his last week working for my dad. He's excited to get away from working outside but he enjoyed working there. he's still working at walmart while going to school.

He started school this week. It seems to be starting off well! :) We have an institute class together which i'm way excited about. I love institute, it is so uplifting! I think it is going to be a great semester.
I've been looking for another job which is way frustrating! as i'm sure many of you will attest too. I'm planning on quitting Chrysalis in 6 weeks so i'm praying i find a new job by then! If any of you know anything, let me know!
We've been keeping busy but enjoying our time together! We are loving the wii we got each other for Christmas, it has been such a blast! :) Now we just need time to slow down to play it more...or at least so we can spend more time together!

hope you all are doing well! Leave a comment!

Ponderings...

I've realized lately that I can be a really jealous person. I wish that I was up where everyone else it at even when its not my time yet. I get so jealous when I see my friends with babies or hear that they are pregnant. I was so jealous before Jason got home, when all my friends were getting married. I'm learning that the Lord knows whats best for me and he has my future planned perfectly for me. I know that everything comes when the time is right. I know that I married that most amazing guy at the perfect time for me! I'm learning to appreciate my life exactly as it is now. I love being able to spend time with just my hubby whenever I want (okay when work or school dont interfere). I love not having to worry about anyone but us. I love being so committed to Jason. I guess what I am saying is to stop and smell the roses. No matter how stressed life gets, look for the things that make it wonderful. I know I'm a few days late but this is my new year's resolution, to enjoy life as it is now. I know this next year will bring many new changes, which I am excited for (i love change, i know wierd!) but i'm going to enjoy each day for it what it is! Because each day is a gift from God!

"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present." -Alice Morse Earl

I hope each of you enjoy each day to the fullest!! :)

Yesterday I got a call from my dad, he was talking to one of his friends and this guy just raved about Jason! He didn't have a bad thing to say about him and went on for awhile saying what a wonderful guy he is! This completely made my day! :) I know jason is an amazing guy, in my eyes he's the best person ever but I love hearing about it. In the past week or so I've gotten calls from 3 people just saying how great he is! :) so I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has called to tell me!!

Jason is truly the best person I know, I'm so incredibly lucky to be married to him! He is my best friend! He can make me laugh no matter how upset I am. I can talk to him about anything and he doesn't think I'm stupid (even though I ask stupid questions!) He spoils me rotten!! He works so hard to support me. He is SO cute with kids and is going to be the best dad one day! I love watching him in nursery, all the children flock to him! He has so many dreams for our future and I know that he will make them all come true! He is so spiritual and is constantly helping me learn. I love going to the temple with him! Jason is the one person who truly understands me and I love him so incredibly much!!! This is a shout out to my bestest friend!!!! :)

Insert funny title!

Things have been so crazy lately. I cannot believe how quickly time has been going by. I'll try to give a brief update on what I remember. Sorry there will be no pictures i am just up at the library and dont have access to pictures.
This past week we have both been sick with the stupid stomach flu. I got it first and sadly passed it on to Jason who then passed it on to my entire family, sucky. Its the worst and i'm sorry for any of you readers who might have had it.
We both enjoyed Thanksgiving! The night before we went to my parents to help make pie. This was when Jason was sick so he just sat on the couch and rested. I helped my mom make our usual 22 pies! crazy crazy! Thanksgiving day started with Jason going to play in his home ward's turkey bowl. Its something he looks forward to every year. He invited my little brothers, trevor was the only one who played but ben came to watch. Elsa dexter and Roxy joined too. We had fun wondering around even though it was freezing cold. Jason and Trevor had fun.
We spend Thanksgiving day at my parents house but they invited Jason's parents and grandma over so it was a big family celebration for us! There was so much good food! ooo...I love thanksgiving! and even more I love celebrating it with Jason! :) After dinner we played this game called squiggles...very weird but it was fun. I lost horribly...haha!
I had to work the grave that night, which is never fun. but I got off work at 4am and Jason, Sasha, Liz and I went black friday shopping! Sasha and Liz wanted Nintendo Ds so I said I would take them. Sadly by time we got to the store they were already out. We still all shopped anyway! Jason and I got some movies and games for way cheap! :) It made us happy. We saved over $250 and we only spend 100!!! I have never been black friday shopping before but I can definitely see how people get so addicted to it!
I worked that whole day so i didnt get to see much of Jason so Saturday we spend together. We were planning on celebrating our first thanksgiving together that day but we got busy helping Jason's grandma so we didnt get time to do it :( but its all good. We got a christmas tree and set it up. We sadly havent put the directions up on it yet. silly us. We got the start of a Christmas village which i am so excited about. We got a house and we figure each year we'll add a building.
Sunday we both had to give talks at church. Sadly I got so nervous that I talked so fast that I left a half hour for Jason to speak. I felt so bad. oh how i hate speaking in front of people but oh well. Jason did wonderful! :)
We went over to his parents to celebrate thanksgiving on sunday. I enjoy it there, they are all so sweet. I know that I need to get more friendly with them, I am still just so nervous. I dont know why, probably still worried that they hate me for what happened while Jason was on his mission. I'm probably just worrying thouhg.

Thats how we've been lately. Just enjoying life together! :)
