dear husband

mr. tim mcgraw says it best

you're more than a lover, there could never be another to make me feel the way you do. oh, we just get closer, i fall in love all over, every time i look at you. i don't know where i'd be, without you here with me, life with you makes perfect sense. you're my best friend.

can you believe it's been three years?

i love you best friend.

three years ago...

I made the best decision of my life.

we were social

It's true.

Usually it's just Daniel and Mandy, but we went out with all four couples this weekend!

Yes, it was to welcome Austin and celebrate him and Marianne getting ENGAGED, 

but, it still happened.

We ventured to Red Robin, and then went and hung out at the Baucom's.

Marianne, Mel, and Mandy 

Of course we had to get one of the whole group!

And of course Daniel and Bryan were so cooperative!

the anniversary

Okay, I guess I can blog about what we did on our anniversary. It's only been over a week.

We both had to work, of course. But after work we got to spend some quality time together, which happens rarely. We started off the evening by heading to Fashion Place mall because my present from John was none other than...

A cute new pair of red TOMS. I've wanted them forever, especially because football season is starting again, and so he bought them for me! WHOO!

We then went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. I forgot how divine that place is. And of course you have to get an Italian soda and take home the fun glass.

After dinner we wanted to watch a movie, but didn't want to watch anything that we own because have seen all of them so many times, so we ventured over to FYE. Unfortunately, as soon as we got there they were locking the doors. Didn't realize it was already nine! So we headed up 21st to RedBox. The first red box was frozen, so we went across the street and it was just one giant fail. We ended up coming home and watching the first Harry Potter (and have continued to watch the entire series, we are currently on number 7, part 1. Once we finish them maybe we can finally see part 2.

Oh, and by the way, I'm not totally awful. I did get something for John. He just hasn't ordered them yet. . He wants broken pieces of glass to make mosaics of Nintendo characters

Geek alert.

Oh well, we love him.

Okay, so this picture was taken the day AFTER our anniversary.

Get over it.

will you marry me...?

It's been two whole years since that day that John plopped down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him.

...And I replied, "are you serious?"

I was surprised! Pleasantly surprised!

If you would like to read the entire story, it is embedded in this post here.

I couldn't be more grateful that he fell in love with me, and that I get to be with him for the rest of eternity. Thanks for asking babe. ;) I love you.

happy birthday

Happy 24th to my handsome husband!

Today is John's birthday, and unfortunately I haven't even seen him.

He's still at work, and hopefully I will see him soon.

Then we're off to dinner.

Don't worry, I'm not cooking this year.

(If you don't know that story, read it here)

I love you John boy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I hope you enjoy it.

Eric and Tanya

sJohn and I were able to attend his cousin Eric's wedding this past Saturday and I must say, I love being in the temple.

First off the temple sealer reminded me of my grandpa Roos. I didn't know my dad's parents very well, but every time I'm in the temple I start to think about them. I have to say that I am so grateful to KNOW that one day I will get to see them again, and I will have eternity to get to know that, and for me, that is really comforting, because I have kind of felt guilty that I didn't know them well enough while they were still around, and so having this epiphany of sorts, has been so great for me. Also while sitting in the wedding ceremony it just reminded me of my own, and it made me so grateful for John and the fact that I will always have him, forever, always by my side. It makes me so happy to be right where I am.

Okay, sorry for my mushy stuff, I just had to say it.

Eric and Tanya got married Saturday, and John and I were there all day.

The happy? couple. I love candid photos. This just cracks me up.

This was another couple who was also at the temple at the same time. I just loved that they had matching green vans on, so I made them pose for a picture for me.

Me and my cute hubby.

I love this picture.

Oh you know, just me trying to be artistic.

At the luncheon.

Patty, Me, and our special John.

Camden was loving the table decorations at the reception.

Cupcakes + photo booth + Matt + Dustin = This.
****

We are so excited for Eric and Tanya. We officially have another married couple we can hang out with!

Congrats you two!

sneak peek...

So I stole this from Opie's Blog. She added some of my bridal pictures, and a sneak peek of the wedding pictures all finished.
I'm so excited to get our album back, and to get the CD of all the pictures. Once I have them, maybe I'll post some more. But probably not...they'll go up on fbook. :)

That's what you get for waking up in Vegas...

We went to Vegas on our honeymoon, and my oh my, was it blazing hot.

One day we hit 112. It was killer. But we had fun nonetheless.

In front of the Bellagio. We decided to walk through the shops at Caesars. Too bad those stores are disgustingly expensive. Although, we did donate to Bikers Against Drunk Driving, just so John could enter to try and win a Shelby Cobra.

The pool was the only escape from the heat. Too bad it was the size of our bedroom and 1000 other people were trying to take refuge there also.

On our way to the outlets. Our taxi driver was pretty awesome.

John was IN HEAVEN when he saw this store. He was disappointed by the time we lef though...they didn't have anything Dale Earnhardt Sr. In fact, they only sold four drivers' stuff.

Wedding Day

July 27, 2009

The day finally came!

Best day ever. Seriously, everything went so smoothly and it was absolutely perfect.

Walking out of the temple. We couldn't find the photographer, only because the temple decided to throw a fast one at us. It all worked out though.

Welcome to my side of the family.

Siblings, spouses, and children.

My cute parents.

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

This has become my favorite picture of Kati and I. So cute.

This picture is a little more true to our personanlities. Love this one too.

Some of the bridesmaids and myself.

Abbi, Melissa, Marianne, and Mandy.

Yes we wore Chuck Taylors. And we loved it.

She is my favorite. Miss you guys.

Samantha, Rachel, Megan, Me, Kate, Alta, Chloee, and Kacey

Cutting the cake. I made it quite clear that he wasn't allowed to shove it in my face.

He looks a little hesitant, doesn't he?

First dance. :)

Dancing with my Daddy.

After the Dutch dance. Possibly the best tradition ever.

Such a great day. Thanks to everyone who made it go so smoothly. Thank you to both sets of parents for making it happen.

We love you all!

Roos shower...

The Roos family always has a grocery shower for the engaged couple, which was a nice change having John there. Instead of just giving us the groceries, they blindfolded us (John read this and said, "I know kinky." Welcome to my husband.) and made us guess what we were holding as they handed it to us. We rocked it, to say the least. It was super fun.

le ward...

The ward shower was put on by Barb and Venice. Pretty much my second mothers. The food was fabulous, which was not good, because I ate non-stop, and we got a crap load of gifts. But that's okay, because we needed them.

I was so so so excited to see Shauna. I haven't seen her, or Andrea for ages and it was nice to be able to catch up with an old friend. Even if Ang couldn't make it, it was good to see her mom.

Number 2 of 8

Shower number two was hosted by four of my very best friends. Abbi, Mandy, Marianne, and Melissa went all out at this shower, there was food everywhere, and pictures of John and I. It was fun to see everyone that I haven't seen in a while. There was even a quiz about John..I didn't do horribly, John answered with things I never would have expected (Calvin and Hobbes is his favorite book, is that even considered a book?) Oh well...it was fun.

THANK YOU girls. Love you all.
