Christmas this year was so different for us. It was the first time we had to "share" and it was really hard! We spent the first part of break in Idaho Falls with my family and I loved it. I got to see my favorite person ever Kimberlee Janae Harris. She has been nannying in New Jersey and I've missed her so much. It was wonderful to spend a few days with her. On the 23rd we did our annual midnight shopping spree with all the ladies in the family and had as much fun as ever. We did Christmas with my mom on the 23rd as well and wowwee we got spoiled rotten. My mom got Jon a pea coat which he's been needing and wanting for so long. He was so pumped. I got a sewing machine and the two of us got an emergency kit that we loved! Then we drove to boise to be with Jons family. We both got some clothes and some other much needed things. We've loved spending time with Jon's family because its harder for us to get here. Christmas this year was a lot different for me. I had some really neat experiences at my job and with my family it was just a wonderful break.

So since we are getting married I feel its the cliche thing to do to start a blog. I figured it would be fun to keep everyone up to date on our life since our families are so spread out. We are getting so excited for our wedding! We still have what seems like forever (6 months) but it is going by really fast. We've had wonderful help planning and getting it all together I dont feel stressed at all. I'm sure it will set in as it gets closer. As for now we are accepting all advice and tips that ya'll are willing to share.

Since we have THEE CUTEST story I want to brag and share to everyone how I met Jon.

I had taken a week long vacation by myself in san diego. I was going through some major changes and needed to kinda...refocus and figure my life out. It was such a life changing experience I thank Heavenly Father for every day. Well as I was headed back to Utah..on top of the world...I had a layover in the Denver airport. While I was waiting I was texting one of my friends who was working in Texas for the summer. He told me that his roommate was also in the airport waiting to get back to Texas. He gave me Jon's number and I texted him. We talked back and forth and tried to find a spot in the airport to meet but our flight times just didn't let it happen. I didn't think too much of it and kinda forgot about him. A few days after getting back to Utah and getting settled he texted me. We talked on the phone..texted...skyped..every day all day. I couldn't get enough of him! Both of us are crazy impulsive so we decided I should fly to Texas to meet him in person. Everyone thought I was nuts to fly across the country to meet a complete stranger. He called my mother and asked her permission (cutest thing ever right??) and so I did! I booked my flight!! I was so nervous and so anxious about meeting him. When I landed and was waiting to find him I thought I was going to puke. He pulled up, got out of the car and gave me a hug, and i felt completely at ease. I was so comfortable and we had so much fun together. I flew out to Texas a few more times and he flew to Utah. He ended up moving to utah so we could be closer together. We met in July and Jon proposed in November. Its been super quick but we've never looked back and I am so excited to marry my best friend!
