"I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not
by our circumstance but by our disposition."
- Martha Washington
I've been looking for a quote like this for a very time. One to get me through my trials and my heartaches and to help me not be so bitter. Thank you Alycia Johnson for posting this quote on your blog. :)

Two Years..

Two years ago today I got engaged to the love of my life :) wow time sure does fly by.

Christmas in our first home

Cabelas

Cody and I went to Cabelas over Thanksgiving break and you should have seen his face! He looked like a little child on christmas morning.

Thanksgiving

Skylee Marie Storey

My sister and brother in law had their baby girl yesterday!! After 20 hours of being in labor she finally arrived at 4:08 pm. We definetly had to wait around for a very long time. She weighs 8 lbs 11 oz and I guessed it right on :) I'm so smart. I didn't know whether to cry because I was so happy or cry because I was just totally upset and jealous. Who knew that you could feel both of those emotions at the same time?? I am so excited for them though and can't wait to get to know Skylee better. Babies are so cute :) I want one!! (Hopefully Arlene doesn't mind the pictures)

Liams Wedding

So my cousin Liam got married yesterday I was very excited to go. Do you wanna know why I was so excited to go?????? The theme of his reception was..... drum roll please....... The Renaissance! yes you heard me right. I was imagining all of the things that he would have there and I couldn't wait to see! Cody was too "sick" to come with me so Kaden and I went together. I was also excited because my Grandma Jensen flew all the way from Alaska to come to the wedding. I love her. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.....



yes that is a castle cake. isn't that awesome?!






The lovely couple

Fremont Football

Fremont fooball and I have a love/hate relationship. I hate it because it takes my husband away from me on weekdays until 6:00 pm and every Saturday and Sunday. Cody pretty much eats drinks and sleeps football. I honestly cannot believe how much time the coaches put into the sport. They definetly are very dedicated people. I do love football though and I am very proud of Fremont for working so hard and having the chance to go to State next week. GOOD LUCK!
also..... wrestling started last week...... let the next sport begin!!

Soccer

I know this doesnt look that bad and maybe I was being a baby, but I seriously though I broke my leg!

Dinners ready....

So Cody was complaining to me that I don't make enough food for him to eat when I cook dinner. So naturally I wanted to be a brat and surprise him with this......



If thats not enough food then I don't know what is!!!

we ran out of spaghetti sauce so he put this on his pasta......




Yes thats right everybody... its ketchup! my husband is disgusting

Its great to be 8...

Jonah my nephew was baptised today! I seriously cannot believe that he is eight years old! seriously??? where did the time go? It was very nice that we could all get together as a family and be there for his baptism. My mom gave a very cute talk on the holy ghost and my dad gave the closing prayer. Its always nice to see my dad do something like that. I am very proud of Jonah and his decision to be baptised!!






ps. isn't my sisters house so cute??!

Finally...

I finally got around to finishing my bedroom! I'm not sure if Cody is a fan of it or not, but I love it!



before.....









after...







yes I did make those cube shelves myself. thank you for asking..... :)
