Valentine's Day!

So yesterday was VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! and i was really excited about it because it was the first Valentine's Day together! So josh gave me the best presents! i got a crystal glass with the image of Christ in it! and i loved it! and i woke up to a monkey and a rose next to me since Josh goes to school early! I wanted to make it special for josh so i got him two presents, i gave him kisses candies with qoutes from a book called 365 ways to kiss. and so everytime he eats a candy he has to try that way to kiss. i thogught it was cute! and then i made him a photo explosion box with photos of us in it! both of which he says he loves! To top the night off we went to Texas Roadhouse and had ribs which are amazing!!!! and while he was at work i heart attacked the house with form conversation hearts, rose petals and 8 hearts with reasons why i love him! needless to say it was a very romantic valentines day and i loved to be able to spend it with my husband! we are so happy and blessed to be together!!!

Danielle's First Winter in Rexburg!

So this year is my first winter here in Rexburg, i am from Portland as most of you know and so i am NOT use to the snow thing, but i guess i was just thrown into it! lol there was not a work up to it period lol. As you can tell from the pictures that i am trying to enjoy ALOT of snow lol! Josh is helping get my use to it by FINALLY getting in it with me when Jill and Dave came to visit for the superbowl!

HONEYMOON!!!!!

So Josh and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon! We went from L.A. to San Diego then to Catalina Island and finally to Ensenada Mexico. It was our first time going to mexico and our first time going on a cruise!!!! Cruise life revolves around eating so if you are dieting they are not for you!!! lol we ate all the time! there was so much to do on the ship and off! we would port during the day and sail at night. our room though was not that big and the bathroom was like the size of a broom closet! lol The awesome thing is that we had the best room cleaner! lol she made us a bunny we named Bob out of towels! lol we had a blast and we were sad to get off it and actually come back to real life lol!

Wedding Day!!!!

As most of you all know Josh you and I tied the knot on December 14th 2007. It was the most important day of my life so far! i have never had so many people gathered together for myself and my now husband! it was such a blessing to have everyone there at the Timpanogos Temple with us.

Not only was it special but it allowed me to get reconnected with my mother's side of the family that i have not talked to since my mother passed away. to see them in the sealing room as i married the man of my dreams brought alot of closure and tears to myself and my husband. Josh didnt know all the details for the troubles with my mother's side of the family but he too felt the love with that special room.

To be completely honest many spiritual and overwhelming moments happened that day! First i was told i was not able to wear my wedding dress in the sealing because of the beading, but when we got into the bridal room my escort Carole informed me that i was allowed and that they changed their minds! i began to cry because it meant a lot to me! then while we were waiting for Josh to come out the lady that was helping us put her arm on my shouder and asked me to go back into the bridal room and to look into the mirrors. I immediately began to ball, and she said without skipping a beat... do you feel her? i have felt her since you walked into this room. This loving woman was talking about my mother and what was so wonderful is that i did not even tell her that my mother had passed on! and she knew!!!! it was so overwhelming.

When Josh and i were able to spend time in the celestrial room together i couldnt help but feel like my heart was going to explode from my chest! i had so many feeling going through me that all i could do is giggle and Josh knew what i was feeling and so we just laughed together and cried together. When we were led down the hallway to the sealing room i caught a glimse of Grandma Wright and Jodi (my new mom) and i began to cry, the type of crying where you are trying to be quite but it is so hard that your body is shaking... and it just seems to get worse as we walked in to see my father who is the most amazing man i have ever known!!! He has raised me over half my life alone and has done the best job! without my mother passing away we would never have been as close as we are and i am so grateful for that!

In the sealing room i can not remember anything of what our sealer said other then Yes lol that is all i remember. but it was the best feeling to look into Josh's eyes and know i will be with him for the rest of my mortal life and beyond! Needless to say we are extremely happy and are loving married life!

we have now been married 2 months and have loved every minute! we are so happy sorry to disapoint people but we are not planning on kids for years..... too bad! lol
