I Miss my Man.

Today… I miss Ben like crazy. I don’t know why I am feeling extra… Lonely from him. Maybe it means that positive things are about to happen…or maybe it is just another day of missing him and one more day closer to seeing him.

If you Won’t Judge, I won’t Judge

One important…Motto… That I try and live by and wish others would live by is…


Can’t we all be lovers…and not DAWG on one another?

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!

 

Well the day has finally come. It is officially Mine and Ben’s One Year Anniversary!

We met in August, and Ben officially came out to Tucson, AZ This time last year, and we made a compromise that as soon as we have our first date it will put an Official Stamp on our relationship!

My Life has changed so incredibly much ever since I met Ben. He is so positive and uplifting. He knows how to support me when I am feeling any weird moodiness :) .

Because of meeting Ben, We are now Married and I am a WIFE!!!! I hope to be the Best wife to him.. and though we are apart… It only brings us closer… and one day sooner to see each other again.

So… What did we do on our first date? WELL….

When I met Ben at the Airport last year we walked towards the car and he gave me a blue little box…. I opened it and he bought me a beautiful Tiffany & Co Bracelet! I loved it! It was a little big though so we decided sometime that week we would go to our local Tiffany & CO and see about perhaps getting the chain shortened.

So on Saturday November 27th 2010  we made our way to Tiffany’s and while we were there he looked at me and said he wanted to buy me Earrings… I was a little hesitant…but caved in lol. I wear those earrings like everyday now! Any who… We were at La Encantada and it was their Snow Night..so there was Christmas music and bubbles flying everywhere (their version of snow in Tucson)

We then proceeded to Our now Favorite Pizza Place in Tucson…

SAUCE!

After Sauce we then proceeded to Melting Pot.. it was soooo YUMMY!

My Life has truly changed for the BETTER ever since I met this man…. HE IS MY LIFE! HE IS MY MAN! HE IS MY HUSBAND!

Thanksgiving 2011

What a GREAT DAY!

Last night my Parents drove up to Phoenix and left me behind in Tucson. I got off work a little later than expected, so I told them to go ahead with out me. I called up my Grandma Gray and asked to catch a ride up with them, and that was that!

I woke up this morning in a great mood. My heart was full of gratitude towards well.. Life! I have a great Husband who uplifts me daily, great parents who love and comfort me at times of my stress and meltdowns from the long distance of me and Ben, and amazing siblings and brother-in-laws….and a soon to be sister-in-law, and loving grandparents, and Amazing Australian In-laws. I feel like I am adopted into this amazing Aussie Family due to my amazing and hunk of a husband! I just have a great family all around!

Weakness

“And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness‍ that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them” (Ether 12:27).

TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!

Stress

Do you feel the Wait of the World on you?

Sometimes….. I feel like this picture below…

I mean, I really do not know how to control it at times.

* My Husband is in Australia and we are newly weds

*I await my Visa everyyyyy single day

*I have a job that stresses me out ( I AM THANKFUL FOR THIS STRESSFUL JOB)

* I am easily affected by others

*I feel Hopeless and Depressed at times

I am just waiting for the day where I can Sit on Phillip Island, Australian one of their Beaches and meditate like the picture down below!

Some day. some day soon. In fact I will probably have my hubby take a pic like this and I will blog about it!
