Completely Blessed...

Today I have had the day off. I have just stayed home. Cleaning, laundry and all the other necessary things I need to do. Some things happened that made me feel a little bit down.. Playing a little bit of the pity me game.

When I got a SLAP in the face.

I am so completely blessed. There are so many people who don't have an AMAZING spouse. Or that don't have a roof over their heads. Who don't have dinner provided every night.

But most of all I realized how blessed I am to have The Church! The true Church.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints.

Things happen on a daily basis to re assure me of the truthfulness of it. T

he blessings I receive are immeasurable. Things that I know could never

happen without it.

I love looking back and realizing that my testimony has gotten so much stronger.

I know for a fact that it didn't happen overnight. It happened inch by inch. It is the most comforting thing to be able to say that it is completely unshakable. Without that assurance, I have no idea where I would be today. But I do know for a fact that its not where I am.

Life is good. I am just blessed that way!

Things I am Grateful For

A sometimes messy home that i'm not responsible for,

Because it means I am not all alone, and I have thee most amazing husband ever.

The long 12 hour shifts at work,

Because it means I have a job that helps me pay the bills.

Lots and Lots of bills

Because it means I have power, water, a car to drive, a cell phone.

When Josh and I have to be apart

Because I know that we will be able to spend ETERNITY together.

Paying one tenth of our income to the Church,

Because I am promised that all of our other needs will be met!

Sometimes eating Microwaved foods for dinner,

Because we never have to go to bed with an empty stomach.

FOR EVERY TRIAL I HAVE EVER AND WILL EVER HAVE,

BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM LIVING AND GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY!

mmm.... tastes like summer!

Any better time than SUMMER?!?!

SUMMER IS HERE!!

Finally!

I'm not gonna lie we had our doubts!

We haven't stopped having fun since the weather let us!

Swimming, Camping, BBQ's

Count us in!

I couldn't get over how good Josh's hot dogs looked!

And he made fun of me for taking pictures of them!

But I couldn't resist!!

I don't know what

it is but the last three days or so but I have felt like my head is a big water balloon

that is only half full.

So every time I looked down, or bend over my head feels like it is going to explode.

Fun. I know.

SO while Josh is at Church I decided to jump on here and update!

This week has been a great one it seems.
It all started the fourth. I got put on call for the fourth which was nice!

We went to Lava with family and swam!

Then went and watched fire works with Joshs parents!

So MUCH fun!

And like always... It is so nice to have such an amazing

BEST FRIEND!

He makes me happier than anything ever could and anything every will

How in the world did I get so lucky?!

Love you Joshua Simms

Most Handsome Husband! EVER!

Not sure how I managed to snag thee most handsome man in the world!!

But I did!

Lucky Girl!

We were able to go to the temple the other day.

Rexburg!

We had a Blast!! I had never been there before! Beautiful place.

Then we were able to play with Greg and Adri for awhile!

They are a blast!

Thanks Guys!!

We went to bunch of skate parks so that josh could ride! IT is so much fun for us!

Josh gets to ride. I get to take pictures!

Best Friends!

I love being able to watch him ride! Great stress reducer for the both of us!

Happy 1 year! So blessed!

On Sunday Josh and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary!

I am so blessed to have such a loving supportive honey who loves me even though i have so many flaws! We Were able to go to Massacre Rocks park and stay for 3 days! It was so nice to be away from work and everything else for a few days!We had an amazing camp site! We Had water just down the hill from us and a nice trailer to sleep in! We had the time of our lives! I am so excited to spend the rest of our lives together!

I came into the Tralier and my little dork was wearing my Jacket!

"Let me explain" haha

He was cold and he couldn't find his sweatshirt!

Jack and I just enjoying our time in the sun!! :)

Lady Loved playing in the water! :D

Just like kids! Tug'o'War

This picture took forever to get right! We tried the timer on the camera literally about 15 times!
We finally got a good one! So much fun trying though!

These little guys were sun bathing on Joshs bike tire!

There was a fun little disc golf course there and we had a blast playing!

Trooper wasn't 100% sure about the water. But he was a good

sport playing with Lady!

We are so completely blessed! We have a beautiful life! Wonderful dogs! We are luck to be so completely happy!!
