Boredom... So not here...

As many people know, right before our wedding my daddy had a heart attack, so Jon and I had decided that we would just stay with my parents so that we could help them out in any way that we could. And so, when we left for our honeymoon I hadn't really done any type of dejunking my room, and changing it from "my" room to "our" room. The only thing that I had done was put up his Batman picture that Sheri had gotten him for his birthday, but apart from that, I had done nothing... And frankly, my room was a mess anyway and I would have been lucky if we could have even walked into it without tripping.

Well.... in the three months that we've been married, that mess had turned into a disaster! There were clothes piled up (which really shouldn't even happen, because my mother is more than happy to do our laundry! She loves doing laundry! And ya know what? If she's willing, I will let her have her laundry time!) we had books everywhere that we were reading, our bed was rarely made, shoes had made their home wherever, our Primary stuff was wherever we'd put it last... it was really bad! And every morning I would get up and just whimper because I knew I was being a horrible housewife! Well.... NOT TODAY!!!! Today, I started the process of changing "my" room into "our" room. And I have to admit it was interesting looking through all of my things. Mum and I are kinda pack rats... we keep anything and everything. We aren't too bad about it, but we could totally be guest psychopaths on the A&E show Hoarders. But this morning, I woke up at around 8, and I looked around the room (not well, as I didn't have my glasses on, and I am so blind that I can't see anything unless it is AT LEAST 2 inches away from me) but I just thought to myself, "self, today is that day that I need to be ruthless about dejunking!" And so I got up and I started with my desk. I had so much junk on my desk that I couldn't even see the woodwork on it anymore! I also had a bunch of pictures of friends of mine from all the way back to elementary school, people I don't even talk to or even know what happened to them. I also had pictures of old flings and I, which thinking about it, I'm pretty sure Jon wasn't too happy about. So I tore down all the pictures and only kept a small number, basically of the people that I still talk to.

Next, I picked up all the laundry off of the floor and the random laundry baskets. I have this really bad habit of just leaving laundry in a basket and putting it on the floor and then just grabbing what I need. Turns out, buried amongst all of my clothes in the massive space that is our room, we had 7 laundry baskets! SEVEN!! Do you even know how completely and utterly ridiculous that is? It's bad!! And so I either hung up or put the clothes out in the living room so that I can take it upstairs tomorrow to start the epic battle that will be my laundry day (tomorrow I will be doing my own laundry as mother has lots of tasks to do...)!

Then, I went around and picked up all of the socks that my dear husband has. I swear that this boy has WAY too many socks, but he will argue that there are two things that you can never have enough of, and that is: socks and underwear. But trust me, there is a limit to how many socks and underwear one man should be allowed to have! I can't fit all of his garments into one or even two drawers! And the same goes for his socks! And I don't know how this boy manages to do this, or even why he does this, but I was finding socks all over the place!! It's like he takes off one sock and throws it as far as he can across the room and then takes off the other sock and just drops it wherever he is. Or maybe it's the other way around? Either way, I was finding his socks EVERYWHERE! So now he has his own separate laundry basket just for his socks. And then he has the guts to come home from work today and take his socks off and just drop them right in front of the basket, right after I'd told him what it was for!! He's such a stinker! But then he put them in the basket.

Amid all of this, I was either throwing away clothes or putting them in a bag to be sent to the D.I. And this is really hard for me, because I always look at all of my clothes and think, "I could totally use this!" and then I don't ever use it and it just sits there taking up space! Ugh! So I was also determining which of my clothes would get to be adopted into new homes!

Then I made my first attempt at vacuuming. I couldn't get everywhere but I got everywhere I could get. It's just my little way of seeing what else needs to be done. And trust me, there is so much more to do!! I am no where even close to it being our room. I still have a bunch of work ahead of me, but it's kind of exciting! It gives me something to do and I can see the results. I could tell the Pantomime was kind of confused, all of sudden she had all this extra space and her hiding places were all gone. She was running around in circles aimlessly, afterwhich she brought her string to me and so I played with her. And I think she also likes having more space. She's cute... and I love her!

So that is the cleaning attempt of my life right now... I really want our room to be ours and not just the place where Jon sleeps. He does so much for me and so this is the least that I can do to make sure that he is comfortable. I love him muchly! And now I'm going to go to bed because I've done a lot today.... Now is time for beddybye! And you can be sure that tomorrow will be another full day of cleaning! Especially since Jon is working 9-5 or 4:30 or whatever.... I just wait til he comes home. :)

Rach and Me!

We've only been married for three months but tonight Jon and I were talking about our one year anniversary and he asked me what we were gonna do for March 18, 2012. And I just looked at him and said, "that's not my job, that's your job!" and he just gave me that blank stare and said, "why am I in charge of that?" and so I told him that it was his job because I planned the whole wedding! And he just laughed and said, "no, Rachel planned the whole wedding! And don't you deny it!" and I just had to laugh because he was so right! Rachel did so much for my wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better Maid of Honour! She is so amazing! Rachel has been one of my best friends for a very long time and we've had some crazy random adventures in our friendship. She was the first person I called after Jon popped the question and she is the person who stood by me throughout all of it!! It was because of Rachel that the wedding went so smoothly! My dad insisted that we have weekly meetings from November 13, 2010 all the way to the week of the wedding (even though he couldn't be present for the last three meetings!) Rachel was the one who would call us and make sure that we had completed that weeks assignment, and she was the one who found all of the bridesmaid dresses and shoes! She was amazing and I love her ever so much!! And I don't know what I would do without her!

Rachel deserves so much from life and I just wish that I can be the best friend that I possibly can for her! And when her wedding comes around I know that I am going to do all that I can so that I can attempt to repay for all that she did for me! I love her so much and I am so grateful to have her as my friend!

Lazy Sunday.... Not....

Oh, how I love Sundays! Sunday is probably the absolute best day of the week!! It's the day where most everything is just relaxing! Although this Sunday was not that type of Sunday, the young woman who usually plays for our Ward Choir has carpel tunnel so she has been put on piano rest for about a month. So after trying to call me last week and I wasn't home she managed to get a hold of me on Wednesday, and she asked if I could play for Choir. I agreed and then she brought over the music. Now, she had told me that the Choir would be performing today, what she had failed to mention was that the song was on the organ. So as soon as I saw that Jon and I hurried over to the church so that I could practice at least for an hour on the song. Finally, today came and I had to get up earlier (I say earlier because I have 11 o' clock church and so I get to sleep in anyway) and I went to the church to practice with the Choir. I knew from the moment that they started singing with me that it was going to be a trainwreck... not just for me, but also for them. The song was too high for the women of the choir and the accompaniment really didn't do anything for the song. I also have a personal issue with Choir's singing with Organ Accompaniment! First off, if you are not a big, strong choir like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir then you probably shouldn't be singing with an instrument that is that powerful and loud. Second off, I just think that it is inappropriate in Sacrament where you are trying to bring the Spirit into the meeting to have a group of singers sing with the Organ. If it is the congregation I feel like that brings so much more to the meeting than an intimate group. For smaller groups I personally feel like the piano can bring the right tone to a meeting. And thirdly, I just didn't think that it was that great of an arrangement. I felt like the arrangement did nothing for the song, and it would have been better had it been from the hymn book. That's my little rant about today...

Then we had our lesson, which was fun. The kids seemed to be testing us, because we walked in and the first two questions we were asked were, "did you bring food?" and "can I play on your iPad?" unfortunately we answered incorrectly on both of those questions and then they didn't really pay attention to the rest of the lesson... so Jon and I have decided that we'll take in carrots and celery and cucumbers not next week (cause it's Fast Sunday) but the week after.

Then we came home and had a houseful of people, because my brother and his family are visiting. And I have hence decided that I don't want a ton of kids.... There were only five of his six children with us, but it was so loud with people talking over each other and there were so many distractions! I come from a family of six but I was raised an only child because my siblings are much older than I am, so I am actually quite content when there is peace and quiet... I love my family! Don't get me wrong but I don't think I could quite handle that many children. And then we played Apples to Apples which was super fun!! And after playing a couple rounds of that Jon and I had been invited to our friends house for dinner. So we went over to the Barton's house and ate dinner with his mum and dad and his five brothers and one sister. Afterwhich we played games over there too! Overall it was a lot of food and a lot of games!! But we had such a super time!! :)

Part of Sunday's, I think, is being grateful for so many things. We say prayers openly all throughout the day and everyone in every single prayer always mentions just how grateful we are, be it for the sun, rain, safety, parents, teachers, friends, there is always so much! And so I would like to add some things that I am thankful for. I am grateful for my husband, Jon, he is so good to me and he is always so caring of me. I am also very grateful for my family and for our health, apart from the heart attack scare that we had almost four months ago we are pretty relatively healthy people. I am grateful for the place that we live, and that we have a nice home and that we can feel safe in our neighbourhood. And the last one that I'll put for today, is I am grateful for my Saviour, Jesus Christ; because through him all things are made possible and I know that I can feel his love continually bless my life! I am seriously so lucky to have been born in the covenant and not have to search for this Gospel, because I was born into it. Also, I have to add this on in.... I'm grateful that I have my little kitten (who is slowly growing into a mini panther....) every time I play with her or watch her, I am just awed about the creatures that God put on this earth.

HOLY CHALUPA!!!

Ok!! So my good friends know that I am currently in a show called Nunsense! It's an awesome show and I am super excited for the chance to be a part of this amazing cast! I am performing with some of the most awesome/hilarious women I know! And who doesn't love an all women cast?? The other women in the cast are
Heather Lewis/Sister Leo, who I haven't really known til now, but it's been super fun getting to know her and we click really well! I remember back when they did Suessical at CHS my 9th grade year and she was a member of that cast and I was SOO jealous cause she had a pretty good role for not even being in high school!
Kathy Lewis/Sister Hubert, I remember doing Anne of Green Gables and working backstage for that show, and there was this one scene where we all had to sing Christmas Songs and this was the first time that I heard Kathy sing and I remember thinking to myself, "wow... she is really good! I hope I can sing like her one day!!"
Andra Thorne/Sister Robert Anne: Oh my goodness! I am so excited to work with her. I've always known of her because she is the Davis High Drama Teacher and she is really good friends with Alyn, but I didn't know just how funny she is until we started rehearsals for this show! I remember when I was a Senior and in charge of our Productions Retreat I asked Alyn if we could have Andra come and do a mini workshop, if you will. And she came and she taught us so many things but the one thing that I remember specifically is when she told us that when you are on stage and you have to move somewhere, to avoid running into other people always go to the right. And I remember her getting one of my classmates and demonstrating. And every show I've been in since then I have remembered that for some reason.
Finally, Alyn Bone/Mother Superior Sister Mary Regina: Aw man... I have a special place in my heart for Alyn. I loved loved loved being a member of her class for three years and even spending most of my summers with her. She has been such a wonderful example to me! And I don't even think that she will ever know just how much she means to me! All of my siblings graduated from Layton High, and when the time came for me to go to High School, I had the choice between going to Layton or going to Clearfield. And I'd been feeling really not ok with my decision to go to Layton and then one day my mum and I were driving and went past Clearfield High, and I got an impression so strongly that I told my mum to stop and turn into the high school. And I knew that I needed to go to Clearfield High. And I honestly think that Alyn was one of the many reasons I was supposed to go to Clearfield. I learned so much from her and I continue to learn a lot. She gave me so many opportunities to learn and grow and to become a better actor and to come out of my shell, and where I'm still kind of a shy actor I know that I'm no where near as shy as when she helped me. She has been an amazing mentor and friend to me, and I love working with her and continually learning from her.

So that is our cast! (I play Sister Amnesia!) anyway so we've been doing rehearsals since the end of May, and they have seriously been such a blast! I'm still super shy in trying new things, cause I don't really like going past my comfort zone and I honestly don't think I'm even that good at it, but I continue to try. Today was one of those days, we have rehearsals at 9 on Saturday mornings and so I got there and then we started working on a song called, 'Tackle that Temptation' and it's a tap dance number... yeah... tap... I seriously haven't tapped since I was in Nanette Mabey's class back almost 10 years ago!! And so I get there and I'm just terrified, and Andra was the choreographer with this number. And holy cow, can she dance!! She is such an awesome tapper and I was just kinda in awe just watching her. She made everything look so fluid and so pretty, and it sounded flawless! And then she started teaching us basic steps and then adding them into combinations. I didn't do as horribly as I thought I would! It still kicked my a double s, but it wasn't as horrible as I had been imagining! I still came home super sore but the combination of "touch, hop, falap, step, step" has been in my mind all day! And then I was an igit and left my score at home so I couldn't even write in the steps!! Thank goodness for Kathy and I being in the same ward, she's bringing it to church tomorrow so that I can write down all the steps!





So yes, that is the latest adventure in our life! Jon is currently trying to lose weight and so he's been cutting down on what he eats and has been trying to exercise everyday! And he's been doing so awesome! I am so proud of him and his drive to do this. He's cut out soda completely and even when he has the option to go for juice or water he's opting for water. He's cut back on his calories and is either running or swimming every night! And I am trying so hard to be a good wife and so I'm also no longer drinking soda! We even were allowed to borrow Jon's parents old bikes and so we took those to the bike fixing place and we will be getting those back on Wednesday! And Jon is so excited to go bike riding! He won't stop talking about it! So as soon as those bikes get back I need to be prepared to start riding everywhere!! We even have a couple friends who want to join our little exercise group! And so for the summer we will have Dallin Mills and Nate Barton be our biking buddies!! It'll be fun!! Hard work...but fun... or so I'm told!

Why I LOVE Jon Day!!

So I have decided that I need to have a "Why I LOVE Jon" Day. I've been so irritable lately and I think that I've taken out a lot of frustrations on my wonderful husband!

1. His Eyes:
There is a song in Jekyll and Hyde-which is one of my most favouritest musicals, called In His Eyes I love this song, pretty much Emma (who is Dr. Jekyll's betrothed) and Lucy (who is Mr. Hyde's whore...am I allowed to use that word on here? I don't know and don't care cause I love that word... but she goes to Dr. Jekyll to receive medical treatment, even though they are the same person, she just doesn't know...) and they sing this absolutely gorgeous duet about how whenever they look in his eyes they see where they want to be and they can see the love in his eyes and all that jazz! And this is honestly how I feel about Jon, whenever he looks at me just the right way, it makes me go weak at the knee's and I get butterflies and I sure hope to the High Heavens that that feeling never goes away!! A long time ago, I had a dream about my little girl, she was absolutely adorable and she had dark brown hair with eyes that were the same shape as mine but she had the brightest bluest eyes I'd ever seen and when I woke up from my dream I was like, "well I don't know how I'm gonna have a child with blue eyes cause my eyes are brown"
Every guy I dated since then I would look at their eyes and every single time it just wasn't the right blue! Until I met Jon, I went over to his house on that fateful day and knocked on the door. He opened it and I looked up and saw the exact shade of blue that was also the colour of my daughter in my dream! Velveeta type cheesy right? But that's how it goes.... So now I can't wait til we are ready to have a little girl and she had better have bright blue eyes!

2. His smile:
This is another thing that I just love!! Now, when Jon is forcing a smile he kinda looks like those 13 year old nerds, but when he is truly happy and is laughing and smiling it totally makes my heart go all pitter patter!! I especially LOVE when he does his kinda side grin!! Oh mylanta!! It makes me so giddy!!

3. His Hugs!
I love it when Jon holds me or gives me a hug or anything!! Sometimes I just don't want it to end. His arms are super strong and he always can squeeze just right to make me feel good. I sometimes have panic attacks at night, they usually used to come after I would watch Forensic Files (I will say, not the brightest idea to watch shows about murder and coldblooded killers before you go to sleep) and during high school I would call either Sam McBride or Austin Hull and they would talk me through it, but when I started dating Jon I started calling him, and the very first night he just stopped me and said, "Britt, I'm coming over." and he did! I kinda felt bad because I called him at about 2 in the morning and he had to leave for work at 4:30, but he came over and just held me until I fell asleep. It was the nicest thing and it made me feel so much safer to have his arms around me.

4. His Work Ethic:
Jon does an awesome job to provide for me, he doesn't particularly enjoy going to work, but he does anyway. And even when he doesn't want to go in and sometimes even when he isn't feeling the best he will still go in and work his hardest to get things done. And then after all is done he will come home and help me with whatever I ask him to! He always wants to do things to the best of his ability. A part of me wishes really hard that he were recognized more at work and rewarded for all of the things he does for work but like most things in life, the only recognition he will get is from me.

5. His Pampering of Me:
Jon is always treating me like a Princess! For my birthday he took me to the mall and he paid for a pedicure (totally my happy place!) and he bought me a new hairdryer cause mine was about to blow up at any moment, and he planned an awesome birthday party with some of our friends! He even got me a cookies and cream ice cream cake!! Seriously, I have the best husband ever! He is always giving me foot rubs when we watch our tv shows and he indulges me in whatever tv show I want to watch. I'd had a slight obsession with 16 & Pregnant and then Teen Mom, totally not boy shows but he watched with me and I think he started to truly enjoy them!! Our latest tv splurge is Ghost Adventures!

6. His Love of the Gospel:
Ever since I went through the Temple for the first time, I just want to go back and back and back! And Jon is so awesome and so we have made it our goal to go every week! And to be honest since I have gone through Jon and I have gone every week, I think that there has been maybe one week that we didn't go. But we've been to the Ogden Temple (oh how I miss it!!), Logan Temple, Bountiful Temple and Salt Lake (I LOVE LOVE LOVE the live session!!!) We are trying to go to several different temples but right now we've only done the four!! And I love it!! I especially love sitting in the Celestial Room with him and just talking!! It's such a peaceful place and I also love going with him because I got married in my Temple Dress and so it makes it so much more special and makes it easier to remember that wonderful day!!

7. His love for Family:
Jon's parents divorced when he was really little, and so he's lived with his dad for his life and when he was about 8 his dad remarried. He has had such a great support system from his dad (Rod) and step mom (Sheri) and from his mom (Barb). And I can tell you that he loves all of his parents so much! When he got home from his mission he used to go to the Temple every Tuesday with Sheri and then he used to go down to Salt Lake, where Barb lived at the time, and go out to lunch with her! And when we were dating he developed a good, loving relationship with my parents. We love our families! They truly are our biggest support system and we love them so much!

8. His Support of What I love:
I love Theatre and Performing and doing anything with my talents! And Jon seriously is my biggest supporter and my number one fan! If I told him I wanted to move to New York to perform on Broadway he would totally support it and would figure out a way to get me there. My dreams have since changed from when there was a time that a part of me wanted to leave my little bubble and go out to New York to see what it was like to follow my dreams and desires and to leave my little world behind. Since meeting Jon, my dreams have morphed into more family oriented desires. I want to still do theatre but I would much rather have children who are raised to love theatre and the arts as much as I do. And Jon will then be their biggest supporter too!

9. His Kisses:
Now I won't elaborate too much on this cause that would be gross... but I love it when Jon kisses me! From the soft kisses to the sweet kisses to the passionate kisses to the little kisses on the top of my head when I put my head on his shoulder... I love them all!

10. His Humor and Laughter:
Jon is a very funny guy!! Oh mylanta!! Especially when he is annoyed with someone or something, I just like to listen to him cause he says really funny stuff under his breath and then I end up looking like an idiot cause I laugh... Jon and I have the same type of humor, we can always laugh at the same things and he can always make me smile. I can never stay angry at him for too long because he will always say something that's hysterically funny!! And I can't help but smile. When we were broken up there were a couple things that I found hilarious and the people I was with didn't share the same humor as me and so I would miss him so much because I knew that he would have laughed. I think I even sent him a couple of pictures because they were so funny!! And he did laugh and it made me feel better!!

I'll leave more for another day when I need a "Why I LOVE Jon" day. But that is just a portion of why I love my husband. He is so kind and caring and is always so loving. I love being with him and I just had to let the world know just how much he means to me and how much he has changed my life!!

In The Beginning!

Well, we got our pictures back from our Wedding!! And so I worked super hard on a scrapbook, and I probably annoyed Jon like no other, I feel kinda bad because every time he wanted to watch a movie or do anything I had to tell him no because I wanted to finish my scrapbook. It took about two weeks but I finally was able to finish it at one in the morning on June 9th! Jon and I wrote down our "final thoughts" for the scrapbook and I put those on pages and then scrapbooked those. So I decided for our first post on a blog would be those "final thoughts" that we had written. Mine is a bit more sentimental and his is more funny, but that's kinda our personality coming through. :)




Brittney Ann's Final Thoughts

"Wow, I really don't even know what to say. As I have been working on this scrapbook I am just overwhelmed at how blessed I have been in my life. I was sent to such an amazing family who loves and supports me in all of my aspirations in life. I really don't know where I would be without the love of my parents and family. Jon and I met in September of 2009 about a week after he came home from his mission, and I had gone over to his house for the first time, and the moment he opened the door, I knew that he was going to be someone very important in my life. I just didn't realize how important he was going to be. We became such good friends, and had such an amazing connection and were always on the same page about everything! And we started dating, and we hit a couple of rough spots and it was both of our first really serious relationships, and so we didn't know how to deal with our disagreements. We ended up breaking it off and calling it quits several times. But we really never could actually quit. We would always come back after a week or two. The last time we broke up was the longest time that we were apart, we broke up in February of 2010 and didn't talk to each other for about three and a half months. And then he texted me on my birthday in June, I was ecstatic, because I had missed him so much. And then on June 12, 2010 we got back together. Everyone was against me dating him again, but I knew that I was in love with him and that he was my best friend. We had to work through a bunch of trust issues, but I will never forget the night when I realized that I really did, 100%, trust him. It was a very emotional night for both of us, but that was when I knew that we would never be apart again.
Then, November 13, 2010 Jon was in charge of the special evening for that month; he took me to a musical and then we went to Temple Square and walked around. We went to our little bench where we went to on our very first date and Jon made a little speech about all the stuff we've been through and then he knelt down on one knee and pulled out a gorgeous three stone diamond ring from his pocket, and he asked me if I would marry him. I, of course, said yes. Afterwhich, we set our wedding date for March 18, 2011. And even though it was only four months away, it seemed like that was an eternity!!

We did so much planning in so little time, there was no way that I would have been able to do all of that by myself. Rachel McAllister was an incredible Mad of Honor! She did so much planning, organizing and work; and she was amazing at calling and reminding us of things that we needed to do. With her help, we got the reception centre, wedding dress, flowers, cake, piper and every other minute detail in order.
Then at the beginning of February 2011 I sat down with my bishop and then my stake president to get my big girl Temple Recommend signed. And on February 25, 2011 I had the opportunity to go through the Temple for the first time and receive my endowments. It was in incredible experience, a bit overwhelming, but incredible! And sitting there in the Celestial Room with my parents and my sweetheart brought the most amazing feeling to my heart. It was such a wonderful morning, but later that afternoon my dad was not feeling very well. He had actually not been feeling well all week, but that was the day that my mother had the feeling that she needed to take him to the doctor. Well, the doctor visit led to a trip to the emergency room where my dad was admitted for having chest pains, and shortly after he had a massive heart attack. The doctors worked fast and were able to stabilize him before taking him to the Operating Room to perform an emergency quadruple bypass. My family gathered together in the waiting room for about six hours before we were able to see him. He was groggy, and in some major pain, but he was alive. It was such a hard time for me, because all my life I had imagined my daddy at my wedding and here, two weeks before I was to get married it was a very real possibility that he might not be there. Jon and I got so much closer as he comforted me and helped me in this trying time. And after a week and several blessings and amazing doctors and nurses, my dad had recovered enough that they discharged him and he could come home.
The day of our wedding made me realize just how blessed I am. I woke up that morning and was able to receive a Fathers Blessing, in which he blessed me with insight and comfort, and reminded me just how much he and my Heavenly Father both loved me. Being in the temple later that day I was overcome with the immense happiness that this Gospel brings; and kneeling at that alter across from Jon being sealed together for time and all eternity, was one of the happiest moments of my life. After the ceremony, I was whisked back to the Brides Room where I changed into my wedding gown, and one of the temple workers took me to see Jon as my husband for the first time. I turned the corner and he was standing there with some temple workers and he was just grinning from ear to ear. I, of course, was in tears as I had been almost the entire day. We were then taken out of the Temple to all of our friends and family who were there waiting for us.
I love Jon with all my heart, and I know that Heavenly Father sent him to me when He knew I needed him the most. And I am so grateful that I have a Heavenly Father who knows me so well and knows exactly what I need. Jon is the perfect man for me, he is so kind and caring and supportive of all that I want to do in life, I am so happy that Jon and I were able to go to the Temple together and be married. He truly is my best friend and I honestly don't know what I would do without him. I still have moments where all I have to do is look at him and I am just overcome with emotion and with the knowledge that we are going to be together forever! And I know that we will have our rough patches like every relationship and every marriage, but I know that Jon and I know how to communicate with each other where we can work it out. I am so grateful to have him in my life and I am so excited that, when the time comes, Heavenly Father will bless us with His children to be in our lives, for us to raise and love. ANd I am so excited to live my life with him and to go to school, and church and do everyday things together. And most importantly, I love being Mrs. Jonathan Paul Mosher"

Cheesy I know but it really was what was on my mind and in my heart! And I want my future kids to read it and know that their mum and daddy love each other very much. Jon's wasn't as cheesy, but it pretty much sums up his personality!

Jon's Final Thoughts

I met Brittney a week after I got home from my mission when she came over to show me the best and newest of the movies I had I had missed (Eagle Eye [it wasn't that good]) We ended up talking the whole time about this, that and the other thing, and I remember thinking "hey, this girl is pretty chill, I should hang out with her more!" and we ended up hanging out every night for the next 3 weeks, we were inseparable! Then one day, as we were returning from her call-back, we got to talking about relationships and the potential of us starting one, and it was mutually agreed that we were awesome and that, yes, from that moment on we would be boyfriend and girlfriend and hold hands and stuff!
We had lots of fun together, we ran into some rough patches of idiocy where we broke up, but we always came back to each other, Opposites attract, and so do awesome good looking people like ourselves! So after many moons of adventures and good times, to name a few: adopting a black cat named Pantomime, being in shows together (I helped with Noises Off while she was Vickie and she helped with Seven Brides for Dracula while I was the Wolfman!) getting pwned by Brittney in Donkey Kong, and taking random road trips to Disneyland, I eventually started to think that hey, more crazy adventures are sure to come if I bond myself to this woman in some fashion!
So on a chilly afternoon in November, we went to Hale Center Theatre to watch the Drowsy Chaperone and bask in the company of each other. As we were driving home we took a detour to the Salt Lake Temple, where, we sat on our bench and talked of the many random things that we've done. I got down on one knee and professed my unyielding and complete love for Brittney Ann Salazar, which she agreed with, and also professed a mutual love for me! I pulled out the ring and proposed to her, which she said yes! It was awesome!
After that we went about planning the soon to be wedding, with some crazy adventures along the way, friends were gained and lost, battles were fought, and tears were shed. One of such was two weeks before the wedding, he father had a massive heart attack and was laid up in the hopital! He made a full recovery, but our love only deepened from this experience!
Finally the day arrived, the wedding! WE had a pretty alright family breakfast at Jeremiahs, where we gathered and socialized with family and friends, and we truly started to feel the pre wedding jitters! Then, finally came the time for us to drive to the temple and get married! It was an amazing ceremony and so many thoughts and feelings were flying around in my head as I stared at the love of my life from across the alter! But the underlying feeling was love! I was totally and utterly in love with this woman! Then I changed into my tux and waited for my sweet new wife to appear, and when I saw her my jaw dropped! She was stunning in her wedding dress! We took each others hand and went to greet our family and friends who had gathered for the occasion!
The reception flew by in a flurry of wedding ties, cake, friends, family and a very large line! But the whole time I could only think of my future with this girl! And I knew that we would have our ups and downs but no matter what we were in it for life and that our love would take us through life's journey's, and we would always stick together! One day we'll have children and we'll raise them up right, in the Gospel, and they'll know our love day in and day out! I feel so blessed to have Brittney in my life, and I love her so much! No matter what! I know she feels the same way, and I"m excited to spend the rest of my life with her!




His is a lot funnier than mine was. But that's just Jon for ya.

I was really happy to finish my scrapbook and I really enjoyed working on it. I really do love scrapbooking! And I love working on things. Right now, I'm in a down spot because I haven't printed off enough pictures to do more pages. Actually, Jon and I haven't taken enough pictures to even make another scrapbook...Here are just a couple of pages!
