the first wedding present!

so my mom surprised me with my first wedding present yesterday and i absolutely love it! i saw them at the lds bookstore convention last month and i thought to myself "so cute!" little did i know my whole family was in on this little surprise and ordered me one. now i will have something cute for my apartment which is good because i am totally retarded when comes to decorating and being all domestic. i seriously need help! does anyone want to help me register? for real i need help! otherwise i am afraid all i will have is this cute picture. {by the way we signed our lease for our apartment! for the next year you can find us at the azul apartments at pecos and val vista. we got one sweet deal! woo hoo!} so if anyone has the desire to register for a wedding and pick out cute stuff let me know!

bad news...good news

so as many of you know last tuesday we had a little scare in my family. bad news: my dad had a stroke and lost all movement and control over the left side of his body. good news: he never lost his speech or cognitive processes just the use of his left arm and leg. bad news: still don't know what caused it. good news: they found the clot deep in the right side of his brain, everything is healthy, no hypertension, no plaque build up, heart is good, he is young, not overweight. thus they don't know what caused the stroke. right now the only cause is genetics. bad news: i have his genes. good news: he out of the hospital and at a in patient rehab center. bad news: he can't come home for another week or two. good news: the rehab center is awesome and he is recovering quickly. he will fully recover. he has already regained major motor control and is now working on fine motor skills. he is improving everyday. conclusion: i love my dad so much and i am so thankful that he going to be able to heal and recover. physical trials are just a part of this life and i am glad that he will be able to overcome this trial. it won't be easy but he will fully recover and overcome. thank you to all those who have helped our family. your kind thoughts, concerns, and prayers are greatly appreciated. oh and my dad loves visitors!

travel, travel!

well i have been out of town for a couple weeks and i am finally home! two weeks ago i attend the joe and mildred jarvis family reunion. it was a lot of fun and it was good to see the fam. {i am a bad blogger and didn't take any pics but in my defense i was on crutches and it is a little difficult to carry a camera and crutch at the same time.} after the reunion we came home and left for utah the next day. my dad had a convention for the wrapping paper business. it went really well and was actually fun. kason was up in utah the same week for his cousin's wedding {congrats colter and Laura!} so i was able to go to spend a couple days with him. i did get some pics because kason took the camera. anyway, its been a crazy couple weeks and i am glad to be home! i have to start some wedding planning!

the ring!

here is it for all y'all who want to see it. i love it! {sorry the pics are not very good, it's hard to capture the bling!}
