First Flight...

On June 22nd, Husband and I went to Jeff and Mary Watts wedding reception.
Jeff was husbands mission companion, well one of them.
It was super cute and they looked like cute little love birds!
The reception was up in Logan...which is 3 hours away from us.
So... Husband flew us up there.
It was so fun and so beautiful.
It was the first time that husband has actually taken me flying.
Every birthday I have asked him to and it finally happened!
And on the night of the biggest full moon!
Well, I got a few pictures from the flight!
Enjoy!
On a side note.
June 26th was 3 YEARS since Husband and I met in Australia!

Twenty-Three.

Finally I am getting around to posting about my birthday!
I was considering posting about Fathers Day, but I think my blog might need just at least one HAPPY  post in June... My favorite month.
I really like July too.

Well, if you didn't know or haven't guessed, I turned 23.
It is weird.
I am getting so old.
It was a good Birthday!
Like I mentioned before I got my present from my dad and Husband treated me like a princess.
He always does, but extra.
I guess.

Since my birthday fell on a Wednesday this year and we both had to work, Husband gave me flowers and took me to dinner at Texas Roadhouse!
I love that place! 
I got a 10 oz steak, medium rare.
The real way to eat a steak.
...
Seriously though.

The weekend before my birthday, Husband took me to stay in SLC.
It was so nice and pretty cool.
We stayed at the Marriott Hotel City Center!
Husband said he has never actually been to downtown to hangout.
Just driven through.
We spent the whole weekend at the pool, shopping (kind of, if you know me I hate shopping.) walking around and eating oh and watching movies.
It was wonderful.
On Friday night I said to Husband ...
" I think it might be Gay Pride Weekend." 
I wasn't sure though. 
He had never heard of it and I told him the whole city gets packed and they have a huge parade!
Well Saturday came and nothing happened so I figured it must be the next weekend.
I was wrong.
Early Sunday morning we get woken up by horns, sirens and loud people.
Husband says "there is your gay parade."
Our window was a front row seat to this ridiculous site.
Entertaining to see the many different, weirdly dressed people, but ridiculous.

The weekend after my birthday, I got together with my mommy dearest and my sister and niece.
We went to lunch...which we didn't have an appetite for.
And went shopping.
Quickly, my mom knows I don't handle shopping for very long.
But it was quite successful.
Now I don't have to dress like I am homeless.

23...

Weird.

The last few weeks have been.... Weird. 
There have been some fun times, quite a few sad and a lot of weird.
It was my 23rd birthday on June 5th.
There was so much birthday love given to me.
I will do a seperate post on what Husband took me to do the weekend before my birthday!


One of the weirdest moments of the last few weeks was getting a birthday present in the mail from my dad.
It was so weird to think that he was here a few weeks ago.
That he was alive to order this present I held in my hands.
It was so weird that I couldn't call him.
To say "thank you" or "I love you".
Or both!
My mom also found her birthday present from my dad!
He had already signed the card and everything!
My dad was really good at planning ahead.
I am so glad.


It was also weird sitting with my primary class during singing time, practicing their Father's Day songs for next weeks program.
It also sucked.
I feel like next Sunday is going to be...weird.


I also have had a few people tell me that "you think that this would never happen to you",but that's not true. I feel like I might have always had a feeling that I might lose my dad sooner than I should.
And that is WEIRD.


Through the last few weeks my testimony has become stronger through my dad.
We have found many things he wrote telling us what he believes and knows to be true.
It has helped me through this time so much.
And to know he is no longer in his broken body and is happy!
I know he is still watching over us.
I love you, Dad!
