I Love Him!

Its amazing to me how long i have known Chancy! It really has not been that long... almost 4 years now but it feels as though I have known him forever now. I just do not know how i made it in my life without him. He makes me so happy! I am glad that i know we can be together for all eternity! If I did not have that promise i am pretty sure I would never leave his side! He is so cute! He does his very best to take care of me and to always make sure every thing is good between us! I know he has a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! He does his very best to Live that gospel each and every day! Sometime I feel so inadequate. I know he loves me despite my imperfections! He is just an amazing husband! So Chancy thank you so much for being you! Thanks for making our marriage so great! Above all thank you so much for taking me to the temple! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!

San Carlos!

Chancy and I were finally able to dive together! Last Thursday Chancy, my Mom, Dad and myself set off at 3am to go to San Carlos, Mexico! We got there around noon, ate then went to the condos, changed and jumped straight into the ocean! We snorkeled for about 3 hours! It was so beautiful there! We played with the little craps that have the shells on there backs a while then scoped out some lobsters to grab during our night dive off the shore, after that we just played with all the fish that we saw! On Friday we took off on the boat to to our first dive together! Our first dive was a little rough! We both were able to clear our ears so we got to go down all the way to the bottom (60 feet). We went under and over rocks saw all kinds of colors and sea life. We just kept going and going. Then we we say we only had 1000 lbs of air left in our tanks we started to head back, only we were a lot farther then we thought so we surface to see exactly how far we were from the ship! We were about a football Field way! So we started back on the surface against the current! There was one point in which i was sure i could not make it any further and Chancy was gonna have to dang me. I started getting very grumpy at this point telling Chancy we were not to do that again and that we needed to to head back at about 1/2 a tank under water because it a lot easier to swim under water! haha i felt bad after that so i just kept swimming and finally made it back with out saying anything else that was not positive! That night when we got back to the condos we decided we wanted to go for a night dive! Good idea??? No! ha ha We only had two flash lights and so I was voted to stay in between my Father and Husband. Sure i thought that will be ok.. Well no my dad and chancy did not stay on either side on went one way another went the other way. So i stuck with one at a time. Neither one of them were very mindful of what was on my side so the constantly were dragging me into the rocks! In there defence the tide was pretty strong because it was very close to a full moon but all they had to do was shine the flashlight to the side of them every now and again! haha After the dive i was surprised to find i had not hit a poisonous rock fish but i did have sea urchin slivers in my rear! That did not feel good. Not to mention all the scraps and bruises i received! ha ha All in all the the night dive was awesome! It was so fun to see the sea life at night! So different! Ire but fun! I was not laugh or enjoying it much at the time but now i think about it was a lot of fun! Saturday we got to dive with the Sea Lions! They are so fast and playful! They follow you around and swim up to you very fast. Chancy and I both touched one and the one i touched just kinda snapped at me. the one Chancy touch brought the big boy sea lion down to stare Chancy down! It was kinda funny but kinda made me a little nervous. Saturday night we relaxed! Sunday morning we packed up and went to church in Mexico. Chancy was the only one who understood anything. After Church Chancy asked for directions to the Temple there. A nice member offered to drive us there! It was a beautiful Temple. The Shape reminded me of the Snowflake temple. The drive home after that was long! Chancy was a trooper and stayed awake while we all slept! We made it home safe and worn out! It was a great trip and we all had a blast!

CAMPING!!!!!!!

I love the weekends! This weekend we were able to go camping, it was only one night but I loved being up in the mountains. We left Friday at 3:30pm we arrived at camp at 10:00pm
we could have been there around eight but we got lost, my brother was so nice and awesome but his directions were missing one key point, he told us to take the 249 well we should have taken the 249E. In all fairness to him the roads out there are set up pretty crazy and the names are not marked very well. It was fun being with Chancy all that time so I did not mind extra time stuck in the truck with him. I know that Heavenly Father is what got us to the campsite! Through prayer he helped us guess the right roads. I knew that he knew where our family was camping and he helped us along the way. When we did get there they were all asleep, Blake woke up though and came out and talked to us. He had made a place for us in his camper but we decided we wanted to sleep out side by the fire! So, we did! I would have frozen if it had not been for my amazing husband Chancy! He woke up all night long putting logs on the fire! We did not sleep much however because the elk were bugling like crazy and were very close by so it was very fun listening to them. Around 1:30am a few moo cows had decided to come into camp. They were noisy things but still fun! Around 5:00am my Favorite Uncle Craig was getting up ready to go hunting! So I decided everyone should start getting up! I woke my grandparents up and they said Chancy and I could take there four-wheeler out and follow Blake and Alicia while they hunted for Deer (buck) Archery! Every pretty much had a tag for deer! It was so nice to be outside on a four-wheeler not dying from all the heat like we do when we go out side here in Mesa! We actually saw a lot of deer but they just couldn’t get one while we were there but of course as soon as chancy and I left and started heading back home Blake was able to get himself a 3 point deer. We loved spending time with our family! It was just very relaxing to be with them! We wished we could have spent more time with them out in the woods! We got back to our house in Mesa at about 11:00pm and it was raining like crazy! Everything was pretty much flooded! It was a very good weekend! Church was once again very nice! Very uplifting! Oh, I got a new calling. Beehive’s advisor and personal progress coordinator. I am very excited to be back in young women’s.

Another great week has passed by! Chancy and i were both able to work all week! He still likes working at the dentist office and i am really beginning to love working as a nurse! The week passed smoothly! This weekend went to fast as usual! Friday night Chancy and i went out to eat! Panda Express! Very yummy! After that we went and walked around Bass Pro! I love that store but that is nothing compared to how Chancy feels about it. He could spend every weekend there walking around for hours looking at all the things he only dreams about owning. After that we came home talked for a while then got ready for bed. Saturday we finally got the motivation to get up early! We got up at 4:30AM!!! We went fishing and swimming in the salt river. It was nice and cool for about 30 mins but by the time 7 rolled around it already started to get hot! GRRR Around 8 we decided to go swimming. So i put on my snorkeling stuff and jumped in! It was FREEZING! Chancy slowly walked his way in, the water really was super cold. Not something you would expect for 115 degree weather. We snorkeled for a little bit and we found some sea shells. I did not know that sea shells where in the salt river. After we got done we came home and got ready to run some errands and get a birthday present for my friends daughter. At 6 we went to the birthday party and caught up with friends from Taylor! It was very nice to see them. We finished the weekend off watching some videos, read our scriptures, said our prays and off to bed we went! Church was amazing today! There were some very touching lessons given and some great talks given! I love being able to attend church. It helps me get ready for the new week ahead of me!

This Weekend was a blast! It started out with Chancy and I wanting to do a lot of things but not really knowing what! We contemplated camping or hiking but did not want to drive the distance it would take to get out of this wonderful heat in the valley ;)! Chancy and I both had Friday off of work and so Friday we went bowling before 12 so we could get the cheaper price! We played 2 games and well we will not be signing up to bowl professionally anytime soon! After bowling we went to the temple! What an awesome experience that was! When we got there they asked us if we would like to do sealings! We always are up for that so we help an elderly lady with family names! It was a very fun experience and everyone doing the sealings with us were very laid back and just happy! The spirit felt there was very comfortable and peaceful! I in courage all who are thinking about going to the temple to just go! There is no better place on this earth then the Temple! After the temple we got together With Mitch and Brittany Blair we went to a movie called Inception. It was very good and a movie were you are thinking the whole way through! I really enjoyed it! Date nights are the best! I love going out with my Husband! Saturday we slept in till about 10! Crazy huh! Apparently staying out till midnight took its toll on us! We must be getting old! :) Around 11 my brother and sister-in-law dropped off my nephew Mason! We took him swimming while they ran errands! At first he did not like swimming but by the time we were ready to leave, he did not want to! When then went to Bass Pro to meet up with Blake and Alica (my bro and sis in law) We walked around and look at everything! Bass Pro is an amazing store! It has everything you would ever need to enjoy camping, fishing, lake activities and more! I love going there to just look around! We ate dinner there and enjoyed talking to them! We miss them and all our other family members so much since we moved down to the valley! It always makes it so nice to see them when we get to see them! And that is our weekend! Chancy is out now buying pride and prejudice! He likes the show too! Awesome huh! What more could a girl ask for! OH Rain and guess what it is raining outside! I love the rain and am so grateful Heavenly Father has been blessing us with it lately!

Chancys Company Party

Today was a great day! Chancy and I were able to attend the company's party that he works for. They gave us two free passes to Big surf and paid for lunch! It was fun! We played in the wave pool and slide down all the slides but after about two hours we pretty much had done everything and were ready to go. We ate lunch before leaving and i was able to meet a few people that Chancy works with all day! They all were very nice. We came home and cleaned and spent some quality time together! My parents, Blake, Alicia and Mason were in town so we all went to dinner at the Texas Road house. It was so fun to be able to sit and talk to all of them! Durning the dinner the guy that shapes balloons came and made mason a balloon with tiny ball balloons in side it kind of like a rattle and also a monkey in a tree balloon. They looked awesome but Mason for some reason thought it was funny to pop them so he bit every piece of the balloons untill they were all popped it was pretty fun to watch! It is so good to be with Family! Chancy and I really enjoy spending time with family! I love them all and am so grateful that we can all be together for all eternity if we so choose to be!

Mom!

A girl has no better friend then her mom! I love my mother! She is for sure my best friend! I can always call her and she makes me feel better! She listens to me with Patience's and kindness. She always knows just what to say! She understands me better then anyone else on this earth! My mom is amazing! She has demonstrated service to me my whole life! Just this last year my mom donated a kidney to our old Bishop. She did not have to do that at all. She has a strong Testimony of Christ and our Heavenly Father. She always serves in the Church and what ever calling she gets, she serves to the best of her abilities! Her life is not always easy in fact she is faced with trials daily and handles them like nother other person could! All in all my mom is the Woman! She has made me who i am today and that was no easy task! I love you mom! Thanks for always taking care of me!

24th of July Pioneer Celebration

I love the mountains! Chancy and I had a great weekend! Friday afternoon he got off work at 3:30pm. I had been home all day so i had all the cleaning and packing done. We were out the door 5 minutes after he got home from work! We drove straight to Willow. We fished there for about 2 hours..... We are horrible fishers! We did not catch a thing, did not even have a bite. It was still a lot of fun! We talked, and were able to just sit and listen. It was cloudy and toward the end started to rain. It was so peaceful! It felt so nice to be out in the woods with no one else around and just sit. We were able to just enjoy the beautiful earth! I am so grateful that Heavenly Father did not just send us to some ugly world. This world is beautiful! It is so amazing all the work that had to have been put in to creating it so we could enjoy it! OK, so after fishing we drove the rest of the way to Taylor playing car games like the ABC game and the most colored car game. I love being with Chancy i always laugh. Once we got to Taylor we stopped at his parents house. His dad was the only one home so we got to visit with just him! It always is so nice to be able to just sit and visit with my Father in Law. He is a solid man that does his best to live the Gospel! I am so blessed to have him as a Father in Law. After visiting him we went to my brothers house were we went spot lighting. We had a blast we saw about 15 deer and 4 or 5 elk. We also saw a little tiny baby deer that had to have only been a few days old. It looked like a tiny little puppy! So adorable!!!! We stayed out almost till 1:00am spotlighting and then returned to my parents to sleep! On Saturday we spent some time with my parents and Chancys parents! My mom, Reagan, Chancy and I also were able to go out shooting for a little bit before the Rain came pouring down on us. It started raining so had so we all had to pile on the 4 wheeler and book it back home. We were pretty wet by the time we got back home! Over all the weekend was amazing! I am so grateful for all of my awesome family members! Family on this earth is one of the greatest blessing! What a comfort it is to know i can always be with them! I love them all! I can not wait till Chancy and I have another excuse to go back up!

This week has been very nice! We spent all weekend in the mountains with our family for the 4th of July celebrations! Chancy had Monday off so we did get to spend a little extra time up in the mountains. He has been working all week and i have been getting everything together for work at the hospital. I've also been working on changing my last name! What a pain in the rear that has been. I will be glad once it is all done! The only light at the end of the tunnel is that i will only have to do this once in my life. Chancy has been giving me a hard time because it has taken me so long to change it. He keeps asking for proof that we are married, he wants it on paper and its always when we are away from home so i cant pull out the marriage license. Chancy has also been registering for classes. We sat at the college for about 3 hours getting everything together, signing him up for the correct classes, applying for financial aid and all that good stuff! It was a blast ;)! Its OK though. I really can never spend enough time with the guy! We are both just happier then ever! Its so amazing its like everyday together we just get more and more happier! I love it!

We currently Live in mesa! I work at a hospital and Chancy is working as dental assistant! We both love our jobs! Chancy is also going to school at MCC this fall semester. He wants to be a dentist. The dentists that he has been working for have complimented him in many ways and say that they have never seen someone catch on so fast without any experience. I am very proud of him! It may be a long road to becoming a dentist but I know that he can do it! Especially with the Lords help i know he can do anything he wants! With my job i work for wonderful bosses that are very good to me! We love the ward we are in and are excited and ready to do whatever comes our way!

Our start!

Chancy and I have know one another for four years now! We met before his mission at our friend Whitney's apartment. He caught my eye right away! My eye caught his also! It was red, puffy and some nasty eye boogers kept coming out of it! I had pink eye. Chancy being the caring guy he is was tired of hearing me complain about it and so he took me to Walmart so we could get eye drops to help. As he puts it he was just giving us the perfect excuse to leave without anyone thinking anything about it. We had fun in Walmart we walked around, talked, and found our way to the toy section. He let me buy a kite and said I could fly it with him later. So me just being myself decided we could fly it out the sun roof of his truck on the way back to our friends apartment. I was surprised to find that he would let me do this! We had to keep the speed at about 15mph to keep the kite up! Quite the accomplishment considering all the stoplights in Mesa! From that night on we continued to hang out and go on dates. I for sure thought in the beginning that he had already been on a mission, come to find out he had not. I tried to stay away because I did not want to go through all that! I could tell he would be someone I could fall for very quickly but by the time I realized this I had already fallen for him, I could not walk away! We continued to date, until he was getting ready to send off his papers for his call, we then just tried to keep it as good friends, it was hard but we knew its what we had to do! He left Aug 29 2007 it was very hard for me. We wrote the entire 2 years. He was a good missionary though and did not write a ton! I had to keep him alive by re-reading letters and replaying memories in my mind the whole 2 years. He returned September 4th 2009 He came to my house the night he got home! He held my hand and got my heart racing! I did not sleep that night at all! The next night we met up at our friends wedding, I took him home after the reception. Along the way we stopped and talked it seemed that everything felt very right still. We dated for a month after he got home and then took me to the last place we were together alone before he left on his mission, the golf course right by the Snowflake temple that has a pond by it so you can see the temple reflecting in the water. The wind was blowing like a typical night in Snowflake about 45-50mph… haha! He was acting very nervous… He finally blurted out “Lets do this!” Got down on one knee and asked me if I would be his wife! It was very adorable and perfect! I married the man I knew I could not live without! He is my best friend and has been since the day I met him!
