Spotlight on a special boy

I would like you to meet Dawson.

Today is his birthday. He is one

I remember on year ago today, I was at work waiting anxiously for the call "the baby is coming". After work I went up to the room. We all waited and waited. I stood and watched as my beautiful, amazing sister looked adoringly at her baby. Her little darling had come and her and Corey were beaming!

He was perfect!

Since then I have LOVED every second I have spent with this sweet little treasure.

This funny little boy makes our days happy. He brightens the room anytime he comes in. He is SO stinkin cute!

I am so grateful for this little miracle baby.

Happy birthday little buddy! You are marvelous.

You are sunshine and smiles and everything good in this world.
I love you the way around the world and back.

The very beginning.

I guess the best place to start is at the very beginning.

Jer and I met about 4 years ago when I looked like this...

and Jer looked like this...

(Just kidding babe, you looked older than that)

My wonderful cousin Preston introduced us. At the time we weren't interested in being anything more than friends. We talked on the phone quite a bit but didn't really hang out much. Jer had his time occupied with other things, and didn't seem to have time for me. :) (dont ask him though he will deny it). After a while we fell out of touch like people do and Jer left on his mission to Florianopolis, Brazil. Needless to say he loved his mission, and the people of Brazil loved him. I love listening to the stories of the people he converted, the Elders he kept out in the field and all the mischievous things he did as a missionary. He was a great missionary and anyone that knew him on his mission would agree he was the best!

After Jer got home he ran into Preston and remembered the amazing girl he used to know, he got my number and started talking to me again. At first I wasnt quite sure who I was talking to but once I did I was ectatic.

He was on his way to disneyland at the time so it would be a few weeks before we saw each other again, but after that first time we were inseparable.

The rest is history.

I am now official

I now have a blog and can officially call myself a married adult! (everyone in Utah knows you arent truly married until you have a blog). Our lives arent really that interesting so I hope I can make good use of this and fill it with wonderful and exciting things. If not I appologize.
