And She Said Yes...

It's been almost a year since Jordan announced he had a New Years Resolution to ask out this cute girl in his ward -

Natalie was her name. He was nervous; but he had a plan.

He went back to school last January after the Christmas break -

determined he was going to do it.
Well he did ask her out on a date,

...and she said yes!
The above picture is taken at Disneyland a few months later -

I think in May, maybe Memorial Weekend.

He had just given her a diamond ring

and had asked her to be his Princess Forever,

...and she said yes!
In August - he took her to the Temple to make it official,

...and she said yes!

A few weeks ago a friend from our Ward went to Rexburg to see Jordan. They hadn't seen each other for about 4 years with Missions and all. He stayed and visited for a while. After spending time with Jordan and Natalie he has announced he wants to have a life just like them. He wants an old ripped couch with a cover on it. He wants a cardboard box for an end table. He wants to be poor, he wants to be in love just like them,

he wants to be happy just like them.

On November 28th is Natalies Birthday,

her first Birthday as a Moon!
Our life has been crazy with many things going on including another wedding and I don't think I have expressed my appreciation and love like I should to her.
So here's to you Natalie!

I Already Know Her

Things are crazy at my house and have been for the last year. We are in constant wedding mode and I will be so glad when it is over. The other day I got a package in the mail from Albion, Idaho with a bunch of pictures in it. Of course knowing what it was I ripped it open...my heart skipped a beat when I saw this picture. This is my newest future daughter-in-law "Lacy B" as Brian calls her. I recognized her, she belongs, she's a part of me and I hardley know her. I just am amazed at the miracle of her coming to our family. That sweet little face was destined to be a Moon from the beginning of time - I know it...because like I said - I recognized her! I am so glad Brian found her. I knew he would!
