~MANY BLESSINGS~

I have been thinking a lot the last couple of days at how blessed I am. I wanted to share with all my loved ones.

I have been blessed with my incredible husband that has been there for me through everything. I keep putting more and more on him and he still loves me for me. The last couple months my emotions have been on fire. Kenny has been there for me and I don't know how he does it. I really don't know where I would be without him in my life. He is my little missionary. For those who don't know I was never active in the church. When I met Kenny I was like he won't like me I'm to crazy for him :) In fact I raced home one night from work cause he was coming over to my house. I had a dress on and I didn’t want him to see my tattoo on my foot. I told him to keep driving around until I called him. He was like why. I’m just going to go wait with your family. When I got there he was like what was your deal. I told him the story… He laughed at me and said I already saw it like two weeks ago. It was pretty funny!! I met Kenny in October of 05 and didn’t hang out with him again until November. Kenny was just my friend in the beginning. We hung out everyday except Sunday he would go to church. I think Kenny handled this very well by setting an example for me. By December I was ready for it to be more. I went to church with him for the first time in January of 06. He has stuck by my side and explained the gospel to me ever since then. Kenny continues to explain things to me just like my personal missionary. Kenny is a huge blessing in my life and I truly can say I couldn’t live without him. I love you with all my heart babe...


Our new baby... This was a surprise, but a blessing as well. I have had problems in the past with my female stuff :) and had to have surgery in November of 05 (I only remember this cause Kenny was there for me) when Kenny and I were getting married I went into my doctor in Utah. One of my worries was when we are ready to have a baby I didn't want to have to wait. My doctor told me it could take me sometime to get pregnant and that I shouldn't get discouraged. Kenny and I both thought it would take at least 6 months to a year. We were planning on starting to try in October of this year. We wanted to be married two years before we started trying (also my husband has to plan everything) we thought maybe by next year we would be prego and ready for the baby. Well at the end of July... I was like I still haven't had my time of the month and I thought no it can't be a baby I have been on birth control. A couple weeks later I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive right away. I was like that can't be right... It didn't even think about it. I wanted to wait for the doctor to tell me, so that Friday we went to the doctor sure thing... there was a baby inside of me. This has been one of the scariest blessings in my life, but I'm so grateful and so happy I get to share this with my loving husband. It is amazing to look at your baby inside of you and have your husband sitting by your side. For those who haven’t had a baby yet. When you do… I suggest looking over at your husband when the baby comes on the screen. It is a bonding moment. Makes you fall in love with them all over again.
My mother.... She is my best friend. I will always look up to my mom. She is the most amazing mom I know. My mom was a single mom for 14 years. She didn't date very often and when she did us kids were still her number one priority. My mom has come a long ways in her life. We she left my real dad she had nothing besides me and my older brother. She went back to school and starting working. My mom never received child support and never complained at what she was handed in life. I never missed out on anything. My mom was able to support both my brother and I on her own. She had us in everything we wanted baseball, golf, softball, dance, tumbling, and cheerleading. My mom was able to make up for not having a dad around. Before my mom married my step-dad she asked both my brother and I if it was ok. My brother is 8 years older then me and was married himself already. She was really worried about me. I still lived with her and was in high school. The thing she didn't know is us kids would do anything for her to be happy. My mom continues to amaze me with all her hard work. She is an amazing mother as well as a wife. I hope I can be half the mom that she is
My step-dad or should I say dad. Roger has been a huge blessing in my life. He was able to show me the way a man should truly treat a woman. He has also showed me how a dad should really show his love for his kids and that not all men are bad at being a father. Roger has been more of a dad in my life then my real dad has in all of my 23 years. I love how he treats my mom. He loves her with all his heart and is an amazing husband, dad, and grandpa. He also, is a good friend. Very loyal...




Kenny's family... All of them have been there for us in different ways. They support us in everyway. I'm so grateful that I'm able to fit in with them and love them and they love me back. They are an amazing family. I'm blessed to have each and every one of them.




My best friend... Ashlee and I have been best friends since 1st grade. She has always been there for me. She is amazing!! I think she is the toughest person I know. I was really scared to tell her we were having a baby. I was happy, but scared at the same time. She is so amazing... when I told her she was right there by my side...well even if she is in Utah :) we still talk almost everyday. She sends me updates about the baby and is always concerned about what is going on. I truly don't know where I would be without her. Love ya Ash and I'm so proud of you.


I also have many more blessing... But it would take weeks to be able to write them all down. I love everyone that has come into my life. My family and friends are the most important things to me. Thanks for all your support. LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!

You're amazing Jess. Isn't is crazy how many blessings we have when we actually sit down and write or think them out? I miss you. I wished you were here and we would double all the time. I am so glad you found Kenny too. When I first met him and when you got married I couldn't have been happier for both of you. He is such a good guy. And you two will be amazing parents. I am going to Laci Cottrell-Stotts baby shower this Saturday. I hope you come home for a baby shower so I can see you.
