Utah is Beautiful

Last weekend me and my future hubby went down to Ceder City, Utah to have my sister Nicole take our Bridal pictures. She did such an amazing job, I'm so grateful! We took them up in the mountains where it was stunning of course.

But with any road trip came lots of unexpected turns. After stopping in flagstaff for some food at Arby's I started feeling queezy. It looked yummy at the time...kinda...

So a couple of hours after driving I was not feeling good like at all. I made Daniel stop and buy me some meds but they didn't help at all. I held a grocery bag up to my face for a while before I asked if he'd pull over and give me a Priesthood Blessing. It was such a special moment. The first time he'd given me a blessing. We got back in the car and just a little ways down the road I hacked up the gross Arby's and felt awesome :)

When I drove Daniel captured some amazing views

. Here's some...
and we saw a deer so,,,,

Boys + Make-up

When me and Daniel first started talking I remember him mentioning that it'd be fun to have him try doing my make-up. Well we finally got around to it..
It was so funny to see him try his best :)
Also now he can appreciate the art that is make-up

We finished off the night with an oat meal face mask :) 

The Story of Us

This is my love story

In April of 2015, it had been a couple months since my cousin Jessica moved to Utah to live with me. Her brother Joel was having a reception in his home town of Arizona. Jess really wanted to go to it but of course who would want to drive all alone without a car singing buddy? I was all down for it of course, but I had to get permission... I remember the exact expression on my mom's face when I asked. "You can't miss school." She replied. So, being a "rebellious" teenager i got all my homework done in advance for the next week and showed her my straight A's. HAHA i thought, "Now I can go! 

The road trip was awesome of course. We sang, talked and ate way to much junk food. Even though I was having a blast my mind was on a stupid boy who was breaking my heart. I put on a smile and had a blast. I had a photo-shoot with my cousins, went to the Temple, and then made a beautiful cake for Joel and Justine's reception. 

Little did I know that I would be meeting the Love of my life that night. PAUSE this wasn't actually the first time I met Daniel...throwback to years and years earlier. Joel and Daniel are best friends. They came up to Utah and stayed in my house. PLAY at the reception Jess talked to Daniel, even asked him to dance. I recognized him from when he had visited my home years back. Though i wasn't really interested because of my broken heart. I faked a smile and ate all the appetizers and dang were they YUMMY

 (from the night of the reception Justine, Joel, Daniel)

Leaving that night I turned to Jess and said "Watch you're gonna marry him." She turned to me and said "no, YOU ARE." We laughed and went on with our night.

A couple days later Daniel followed me on Instagram. He would like my posts and i would like his. He even commented on one and said he remembered the area where i lived and remembered the stinky lake haha

Then i posted a selfie on insta...

The irony kills me!

And that's how it all started. We started messaging daily, calling, face timing etc. Our chemistry was undeniable. I had to see him in person. I wanted to know if he was actually as perfect as he seemed. So literally I told Jess and she said okay let's go and we left that very weekend. Our first date was amazing. We felt so natural instantly. We didn't follow the norm, I met his whole family the first date, I drove a couple hundred miles to see him and even got lost for over 2 hours while crying on the phone with him...good times

 Did I mention I got a spray tan to try and impress him...? yeah...

A short couple weeks after going back home to Utah i packed up my stuff and moved to Arizona to be closer to him. We knew we were meant to be, there was no question. I love this man so much and how lucky am I?
