Jerome and then *Date night at the Asylum*

Chris and I went to Jerome and while exploring he locked me in this.

He let me out and then we Enjoyed the rest of Beautiful Jerome.

Ok, There is a restaurant inside the old grand hotel and it is quite possible my FAVORITE restaurant! So when Chris came up I made plans for us to have a romantic date here.

This is where we sat, but this was taken during the day. We came back that night and ate our Amazing dinner overlooking the whole valley.

On our way to Dinner, Chris pulled over and got me out of the car so that we could take pictures with the sunset. It was stunning.


Chris Bought me the Jewelry I am wearing earlier that day.

It was a magical night.
I've decided that love is not just about the hugs and kisses, the 'I love you's' or the 'I miss you's', but about the chills that hit every part of your spine when you think about him.

Oak Creek/ Sedona pictures!

These are pictures from when Chris came up to Cottonwood for the first time. I decided to show him around Sedona and Oak creek canyon.

Garlands is a place that my Dad and I went to all the time when I was growing up! Best Pickles EVER! Oh and that silver deer talks...random I know.

Chris and I raced down the river rock jumping, It was a blast and there were only a few minor injuries.


We both like these "views"!! Hee hee



*Kissie Kissie *


Chris Found a fellow Swed! He was so excited, he almost wanted to wait until they came back to their car so he could meet them.

He is SO CUTE! Gosh I'm lucky :) Chris's artistry of the red rock.

The view from where we ate lunch.

For some reason he loved the pink "Pigs"

We had such a great day.

The way things became

I am so lucky to have found Chris. He is everything that I could have hoped for, and things have made that clearer as I look back and see how my life led to him. I examined the different choices I made along the way and realized that it was a part of the giant scheme that has become my life today. I have followed my heart in every step and some steps have been harder than others. I made choices to not continue in some relationships because "it just wasn't right" and some of those choices absolutely broke my heart. I went through lonely times, frustrated times, and fun times, all to bring me here. I truly didn't not think this would happen to me. I believed in love, I had seen it in so many ways, and still, because I had never really felt it for myself, I didn't believe that it would happen to me. I have loved people but something was alway off, something that I couldn't explain.
I'll say it now that from the first time I heard about Chris I felt different. I HAD NOT EVEN MET HIM YET!!! I had just heard about this guy that I would be set up with. When Roy was talking about him, I got nervous and excited. I can't explain in words but I knew something was special about him. Then it all was confirmed the day I met him in May. I tried to be as cool and calm as I could but as soon as he left the room I started jumping up and down in Meagan and Roy's living room. I know that Meagan thought I was nuts when I said that I loved him like two weeks later lol. I remember sending her a text and she responded, "Aw, well it might not be a good Idea to just straight up tell him that" I may be paraphrasing but it was to that effect. I knew that I loved him right from the get go, and I was holding back as much as humanly possible. I didn't want to scare him off! Come to find out now... He felt the exact same :) The summer went on and we stayed in contact even though I had to leave for 5 weeks for a pych rotation and as soon as I came back he left to Sweden for 2 weeks. I kept thinking how crazy I was for falling so hard for a guy that I hardly knew! When he came back from Sweden we talked and he opened up a little about how much he missed me while he was away. Inside my head: YAY YAY YAY!! I love you I love you I love you! Happy dance! What I actually said : "I missed you too...(smile and bat my eyes)" It makes me laugh how I down played it so much, but hey it worked right? After that he invited me home to meet his family and we made it official.
Ever since then It has been a dream. I love him so much! I am so thankful for every broken heart along the way because it was all so that I could be here, today, with him <3. The future is open and I am excited for what is to come. As of now I am in love with the most wonderful man on the PLANET! A big fat thank you to all those boys who have brought me to you baby! Only looking back has the road been worth it.
I love you so much Babyness, Thanks for being worth everything :)

I am seriously SO over this!!!!!

Oh my goodness! I am so tiered of Nursing school right now. It is so hard every stinking day! Literally every day I wake up and I have an enormous amount to do for the day. Papers, labs, clinical worksheets, reading HUNDREDS of pages a week, out of class projects, interviews (that require a formal essay) on and on and on. I"M SO SICK OF IT!
I need a break. I had one this last weekend but because of it I am ridiculously behind! I came back and got slapped in the face with how much work and reading I need to do. It was painful. I sit here totally overwhelmed and I just stare at the book while the anxiety builds up in the pit of my stomach. There is so much to do and the days are passing in a blur. I read for HOURS and HOURS and I still can't catch up. I have fallen asleep on my book so many times that I'm surprised the words haven't seeped into the skin on my face.Grrrawwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhh blaaalalalalala...... I'm losing it people.
December please come faster :(
