Thanksgiving was wonderful this year. My mom, dad and sister came from Georgia and my brother came down from BYU-Idaho to visit. It was great having them here and getting to spend time with them. Of course the dinner was amazing! We ate at Nani and Papa's house and Nani made the best turkey dinner ever!! It was great, too bad they couldn't stay longer!

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

My Husband

I saw this on someones blog and thought it was cute, and I am really missing my husband right now so I thought I'd try it....

1). How did you meet? Jace and I actually met through a blind date. A mutual friend Mike set us up on a date. I knew Mike from living at the dorms at the college and Jace and Mike were in the same MTC district together. So, Mike set Jace and I up on a date and we double with him and his girlfriend at the time. We went down to Mesquite and had dinner and went bowling. I was kind of nervous about it because I had never really been on a blind date and the drive down to Mesquite could have been a little awkward, but it definitely was not! We had an amazing time and instantly hit it off.

2). How long did you date before you were married? We date for about a year before he proposed then we were married about 5 months later, so about a year and 5 months.

3.) How long have you been married? We have been married for a year an a half. Our 2 year anniversary will be on March 10th.

4). What does he do that suprises you? He does lots of things that surprise me. Sometimes I will come home from work and he will have cleaned up the house for me, or things like that. He also says things that surprise me. He will say random things that are so sweet and adorable that just make me melt.

5). What is your favorite feature of his? I would have to say I love it when he smiles. When he is really happy or laughing really hard, I love his face, his smile and the way he scrunches his eyes.

6). What is your favorite quality of his? I love how hard working he is. Whether it is school or work, he will always try his hardest and do his best. I also love how caring he is. He really cares about the feelings of others and what makes others happy.

7). Does he have a nick-name for you? Well of course he calls me babes but there is also another nickname he calls me that is quite embarrassing actually. Sometimes when I am tired or hungry or just plan onery, I can get a little riled up and when I do he will call me a Hannus beast, haha. When he does call me that I usually end up laughing and it makes me feel better. So I can't get too mad at him for calling me a beast because it is really funny.

8). What is his favorite color? green

9). What is his favorite sport? He loves every sport but he is a DIE HARD utah jazz fan. He counts down the days until basketball season starts and he will watch every Jazz game.

10). What is his favorite food? I don't know if I can pinpoint a specific favorite food but he loves anything with meat! haha.

11). When was your first kiss? Our first kiss was a couple weeks after our first date. We were in the back of his truck looking at the stars, and it was after I had turned him down a few times.

12). What do you like to do together? Everything! We really do love to do pretty much anything with each other. We love to watch movies, go out to dinner, go on vacations, just sit at home and hang out together, go on fourwheeler rides, go camping, go to Vegas, and lots of other things. But I guess there are two things we don't really do together. Those would be shopping and hunting. On the days he goes hunting, I go shopping and vise versa, haha!

13). Do you have any children? Not yet!

14). Who said " I love you " first? Jace did. It was really cute. We were hanging out at my dorm room talking and I asked him to tell me a secret and he whispered something to me in Dutch and of course I couldn't understand him, but I had an idea of what he had said. So I asked him what he said and he said it again in Dutch, so I asked him one more time and he said he loved me and of course I said it back!

15). What is his favorite type of music? He pretty much loves everything, but his favorites are country and rap. It is so funny seeing him dance and try to rap!

16). What do you admire most about him? I admire everything about Jace. I admire how hard working and determined he is. I admire that he went on a mission, that he took me to the temple so we could be sealed together forever, his strong testimony, that he is only a half semester away from earning his Bachelors degree in communications, and how much he loves me and our families!

**Jace is the most amazing husband and I just love him so much! **

Good Things....

I have been thinking lately about things that are going on around the world, especially here in our country, and I feel like I need to realize the good things that we have in our life. Jace and I are truely blessed and have been throughout our marriage. So here is a list of good things in our life....
*General Conference: We are lucky enough to live in a place where we can easily access the General Conference broadcast. It was such a blessing to be able to spend our Sunday listening to the words of wonderful leaders. We are so lucky to have the gospel in our life.
*Statewide Recovery: Statewide provides Jace and I both with great jobs that enable us to have a wonderful life. We are extremely lucky to both be able to have jobs in a time where many people are having to struggle so much. Our jobs enable us to be able to afford to live in our beautiful home, each have a car to drive, and be able to do many other things that we enjoy. Working in the repo business has shown me how many people are struggling at this time and it has really helped me be able to better appreciate the things that we have and have been given.
*Our Home: Jace and I are so lucky to be able to rent our wonderful townhome from great friends for a great price. Our home is more then perfect for just the two of us right now and it has been a great place for us to live for the first years of our marriage.
*Family: We are very lucky to have such wonderful families. We are blessed to have Jace's family, my grandparents, and aunt and uncle living so close to us. It is great to be able to just drive down the road and be able to spend time with family. Also, we are blessed to have my family in Georgia. It is great being able to call up my mom and dad whenever I need someone to talk to or to just check in. It is also great to have a place for us to go and visit. I am also greatful for my little brother and sister. They are great and are both wonderful examples for me. I am so glad that Nate was able to go out to school in Idaho and that he is doing so well there! And Madi, she is so funny, it is great to be able to call the house and have her answer the phone and be able to talk girl talk with her! She is the best little sister ever!
*Temple: Jace and I are so lucky to be able to attend the temple and to have it so close to our home. We have not been the best about attending the temple, but are trying to be better and attend more often.
*Friends: We are so blessed with such wonderful friends. Jace grew up here in St. George and has an awesome group of friends that are very close with each other. They are great and their wives are amazing! We all have so much fun together and it is great to have all of them so close!
Well this is just a short list of good things in our life and there are many more! Jace and I are extremely blessed!
