Down With The Sickness.

First of all, I would like to say that I loved the rain storm yesterday evening!
I'm not the one to say that, especially in the summer.
I hate wasting a day of my precious, warming sun!
But...It was lovely and we did NEED it.

Next up.
HFMD. I don't like it.
HFMD = hand-foot-mouth disease.
It has been going around Utah, I know that and my cute little sister-in-laws and brother-in-law got it. Totally sucks, right? RIGHT!
You basically get a HIGH fever, chills, body aches, head ache, and stiffness.
Oh and sores/blisters on your hands, feet, and mouth/ throat.
And yes, they hurt.

On thursday night, Husband and I went to the Ute Stampede down in Nephi to watch his cousin ride in the royalty thing they do at the start.
That's when it began, I started to get a head ache and a sore throat and just felt icky.
by the time we got home I had a pretty high fever and I was burning up all night and I felt like I was laying there forever waiting for my alarm clock to go off so I could get up for work.
It finally did.
I still had a high fever and I was so achy and sore, but I still went to work.
Probably should have listen to husband and called in sick, but...I didn't.
That went on the whole day, I felt like my fever only got worse and continued to the next day.
On Sunday I finally woke up and felt better...Except I started getting sores on my hands and feet and figured that must be what is making my throat hurt.
We both thought I had something else cuz everyone else got their sores and blisters alot faster than I did.
And here I am...I can't tell if they are healing or still coming on..
I hear it is just about a week thing, so hopefully recovery is just around the corner.

Husband has been so good to me this last weekend.
He has taken such good care of me.
He made sure I was comfortable and worried about me and loved me!
He called me at work to make sure I was ok.
He let me lay by him on the couch and watched Modern Family with me.
Carried me to bed and couch, cuz it hurts to walk.
Anything I needed, he was there:)
Thanks Husband, I luh you.

Also, Thank you to my mom for helping me out at work and taking care of me there!
You are the best mom ever.
Love you!

One Year.

On July 9, 2011, I was married and sealed to my best friend.

For the last year we have been making and starting our lives as eternal companions.

I couldn't ask for a better husband.

He is absolutely everything I need and could ever want.

I adore with all my heart and soul.

I am so thankful for all that he does for am and teaches me every single day.

He completes me and together we will be able to complete our eternal family.

You know..One day.

I can remember our wedding day like it was yesterday.

I remember it perfectly.

I remember driving with him to go to the temple, just us two.

I remember sitting in the brides dressing room, waiting to be called to go to the sealing room with husband.

I remember seeing him the first time and kneeling across the alter and holding hands.

I remember the look in his eyes and our kiss as husband and wife.

I remember getting in my dress.

I remember walking around the corner before walking out of the temple and seeing husbands face the first time he saw me in my dress and my mother in law handing me my bouquet and telling me my dress is beautiful and husband kissing me on the cheek.

I remember walking out the doors and hearing all the cheers and seeing all the tears of joy.

I remember every sound, sight, smell.

It was the perfect day and I was with the most perfect guy.

The last year has been the best year of my life, definitely not the easiest.

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I guess the thing to say is, I can't believe it's been a year, but I can. It has been a year. It did go by fast, but it still feels like the right amount of time.
I don't mean it in a bad way, but I am sure I will be able to say I can't believe it's been 4 years or whatever when we have kids, but it has just been us two and so lovely.
Right now we are a bit stuck with some decisions, so that could factor into it as well.

Well, Happy Anniversary to us!
It's been a good year.
We are so blessed!

Oh an sorry the pictures are out of order.
it is just fun to look back at them:)

Walking out of the temple for our first appearance as Mr. & Mrs. Carlton!

4th Of July.

cute husband getting ready for his first wake ride of the season!

For the 4th of July, Husband and I went boating with the Carlton's.
It was so much fun and the perfect day for boating.
We went down to Fairview the night of the 3rd after work and got up super early on the 4th to get the boat all ready to go.
We headed to Yuba, again.
The water was perfect that the boys were actually able to get some wake boarding in this time.
Of course, there was tubing.
Also, I am not good at motion picture taking apparently...I tried and tried to get Husbands tricks, but I kept missing them or taking the picture to early.
The pictures of the wake boarders are Husband and Aubrey (husband younger sister) boyfriend DJ.
It was an awesome day and I am so glad that it was in the middle of the week so I could actually be there and to be with family.
Although, I talk about how much we love Australia, we do LOVE the USA.
It's our home!
With the elections coming up I hope we still can have the freedoms we enjoy today.
They say they are protected, but you never know.
To lose any of the freedoms and rights we have would be a waste of all the wars and fighting that went on to gain them, throughout history.
Anyway, I'm proud to be an American.
