Spike, NO!

This is what our new puppy hears at least 20 times a day. He loves to chew, bite, and just cause trouble. He chews on anything he can grab onto, including our hands, feet and clothing, but he is learning fast what he can and cannot chew on. He is almost potty-trained, he still has a few accidents when we don't take him out fast enough. Pretty good for only six weeks old though! He is a total cutie, and has attitude like no other. When Chance puts him in his cage, he gets angry and storms off into his room, and comes back to yip at us when we laugh at him.

It probably sounds like I am bragging about my kid or something, but don't worry. We know he isn't a child or anything close to it. But we still love him!

It finally happened! We got married!! After three months of planning and separation, the wedding finally happened on the 31st! It was the most amazing day; everything was wonderful.  

It started the night before with the groom's dinner that was so fun! It was narrated by Chance's dad Greg, who did a great job.  It was so nice to be able to have a few hours with both sides of the family all together.  The Krainiks did an awesome job, and I am grateful for such amazing in-laws! 

The sealing at the temple was perfect, we are so happy that we had the opportunity to be sealed by my grandfather; it made the day even more special.  

The reception was awesome, (I might be a little biased), and everything turned out great! I am so grateful for all the work that my mom put into the reception, she did an amazing job! The whole day was perfect, despite any little glitches.  

The honeymoon was also wonderful, Hawaii is beautiful.  I was so happy to be able to spend a week alone with Chance after all the craziness.  

Well, I am now an old married lady, and I couldn't be happier! I love my husband more than anything, and I am so excited to begin our eternity together!

Pictures will come when we get them from the photographer!

Engaged!!

It's a little late, but Chance and I are engaged!!

On May 6, Chance took me to a little burger joint called Sammy's (where we went on our first date) and then drove me up to Sundance (where we went on the night we first met).

In September, my good friend Josh told me he wanted to set me up with a guy he knew. I am not a big fan of being set up, so I was reluctant to go. But Josh asked me to go with a group of people to the moonlit chairlift in Sundance, and Chance was there.

But anyway, Chance brought me up there last week and we explored the paths a little bit. We found a secluded area and sat next to a creek that was running through it. Chance told me he had a present for me and pulled out a beautiful scrapbook that his sister in law Kaitlyn had made for me (Thanks Kaitlyn!!). I took my time looking through it and on the last page it said "will you spend eternity with me?" with a plastic ring. As I was reading this, Chance got down on one knee and asked me the same question. Of course I said yes! The date is set for July 31 in the Newport Beach Temple.

I am so excited to start our life together. Chance is a wonderful man who is going to be the best father and husband. He makes me happy, and calms me down when I get too stressed (which happens quite a bit). It also helps that I love his family! They are all wonderful and so accepting (even those who I haven't met yet)!
