BRITTANI AND CODY'S WEDDING!

I know there are a million pictures here, but the day was amazing, and I want to remember every minute.

As I look back over these pictures, I am again so thankful of all of the many people who helped pull this amazing day off.

-I am so thankful for Nathan and Connor, who dealt with having a mom who was completely MIA for two months.  

-I'm so thankful for my friends, sister-in-laws, and my mom, who showed up the day before the wedding and helped me bake and frost all day, and were my lifesavers at the reception.  

-I'm so thankful for Lori who did all of the amazing, beautiful flowers, and who came up with the amazing decoration ideas, and then helped get them from her creative brain into reality.  

-I am so thankful for Summer who helped so much with the decorations, with ideas, and who talked me down when I thought I was going to jump...more than once! 

-I am so thankful for our family who helped set up, helped through the whole reception, and then helped take down...what would I do with out you?  

-I am so thankful for my mom who helped me so so much, and who reminded me to enjoy the moment.  

-I am so thankful for the Valenzuela family, who drove from Mexico to share this special day with us.  

-And I am so so thankful for my Rick, for supporting me, for helping me, for making decorations, for not complaining when I did things my way - and my way didn't work, for dealing with my massive mood swings, for loving me through it all...and most importantly, for giving me Brittani.

Get ready for picture overload! 

 

 

 

THANK YOU!

Today, simply be thankful for something or someone.

I don't know if it is coincidence that this prompt fell on today, but I am thankful for the opportunity to write down what I am thankful for.

Today, I am thankful for:

//the beautiful sun

//a husband who listens to me and "cherishes" me 

//a daughter who gets up, brushes herself off, and moves forward

//boys who are my constant examples

//a friend that brings me flowers on the anniversary of my sweet dad's death

//a sister-in-law that sends me love texts

//the temple, and a friend who is always there to go with me

//a loving Heavenly Father who gives me comfort and guidance 

//a mom who puts a smile on her face and is an example of service

//a nephew who is excited to receive his mission call

and especially today, I am thankful for a dad who loved me unconditionally, taught me by example, always stood for what was right, and was kind and honest to everyone he met.
