the story......

So this is going to be written by both me and Jared. It all starts with Jared and his crazy obsession with wanting to buy a canoe. About a month ago Jared calls and says babe I want to buy a canoe! Needless to say, I said NO! (Someone has to be the voice of reason.) We wouldn’t really even use a canoe but maybe twice a year! Anyway.. keep that in mind.. So in our relationship we have talked about marriage the last few weeks and this is were it really gets so EXCITING!

So after going through the process of deciding if we should get married… we set a date. For the next few days we went back and forth on a few dates. We finally came up with Nov 7 and decided that we would get married in the SLC temple.

Now the fun for shopping for the ring began. We spent a few days going back and forth online and tried to find a lot of different styles to look at. My cousin was getting married (July 18) and I had to pick up some heels from the mall. Jared decided to go with me and thought that we could check out a few jewelers in the mall. With no time he took me to a few places to look at settings. We went to one store and I fell in love with the thicker setting. I tried it on and LOVED it! It was even on sale! : ) Jared being the picky person he is (at least he pretended to be) said, I like it but I think we should keep looking around. We drove in 2 cars and I left to hurry and get ready to leave for the wedding. Little did I know that Jared went and bought the setting! So sneaky!

Jared went and bought the diamond and had it set in the setting all without me knowing. He told me the setting got sold when he went back to look at it again. I was soooo sad! We went ring shopping a few places and just didn’t find anything. (He even took me ring shopping the day of the proposal!)

So Saturday (Aug 1) he calls me and says, “babe you will never guess who I just ran in to. I said who?! He tells me that he ran in to one of his old school friends and that this friend runs a business. I asked what kind of biz. He says that he rents 2 person kayaks at Antelope Island. Jared was soooo excited! He asked if we could go kayak after my friends wedding reception. I of course wanted to please my boy and agreed to go. (such a loving girlfriend I am!!)

We go to the wedding reception and while pulling up found that the line was out in the cul-de-sac! It was sooooooooo LONG!!! (Jared adding emphasis) We parked right by my brother Casey and his wife so we could walk in together. Jared went right to them and was talking to them. (Come to find out he was telling them that we was going to propose and needed help getting me to not talk all night)

(Jared typing) I was nervous that we were going to run out of daylight! It was already after 7 PM and the line was so long. I remember feeling my stomach sink to my ankles pulling up. I told her brother that we had to convince her to leave! The island closes their gates at 9 and my brother and his wife were sitting out there waiting for to come so they could light the candles.

So we stand in line for about an hour and I kept telling Jared that he could go kayak with my brother Casey. Casey said NO you go with him. I even tried to pawn Jared off to Jackie! I didn’t want him to be mad or disappointed that we weren’t going to make it to kayak. Jackie was telling me that because Jared came with me I should go with him! Such a nice sister in law – pre-marriage counselor! We finally get to the bride and groom. We said our hellos and talked to a few friends and headed back home to hurry and change.

We get to my house to change and Jared was telling me that we didn’t have much time because the sun was setting and the gates were going to close. Needless to say at this point we both were a little edgy. Jared had a bunch of nerves and I thought he was mad at me… you know how that goes. So we get in the car and Jared is texting his “friend” (really his brother) and sped off to Antelope. He bought a video camera and decided to make start making movies. Such a great time to video! NOT! I decided that I would lather myself with bug spray and Jared starting crying that he was getting overspray in his eyes. Such a baby!! So we agreed that I would wait until we got there to put on bug spray.

We got to the main gate just a few minutes before 9 and right before getting there Jared asks me if I had any cash because he may need another dollar. He tells me that his friend gave him a receipt and that he would just use that. We get to the gate and he flashes the receipt to the lady.. she didn’t even come out of her shack. (This was my 3rd trip out there. I’m sure that lady was wondering what the heck I was doing going in and out in so many times.)

We drove out right as the sun was finishing setting. It was so pretty! Jared was driving like a madman! He even passed on a double yellow line! That’s my man! We pull up to the marina and Jared was so anxious to get in the kayak and get going. We got in and started to head out of the marina. Jared was such a great paddle boy. We both started to paddle together so we could get out faster. I only screamed a few times! I thought we were going to tip over (Jared just laughed!!) It was a little buggy in certain spots and I told Jared I was his bug shield. He said that we could switch after we got to the end of the point where we were going. I said, NO Jared! We are NOT going to the beach!! No matter what! I told him I would drag my paddle in the water before we switched spots. (I drug my paddle in the water to help us turn and Jared wasn’t too pleased. He said that it slowed us down and that if we were on a river rafting and had to turn quick then I could drag my paddle. We both were just a little on edge still because of running to late. Oh I forgot to tell you that on the way out to Antelope I told Jared that he shouldn’t plan so much in a day and that we were just trying to do too much in this day.) So we kept paddling on and Jared kept trying to paddle on my side! So I just sat for a minute and ran the camcorder while he paddled! : ) We were going along the shore line of the island and it started to get darker now and there were some lights on the shore. It looked like a bunch of torches or fire. Jared said maybe there are Indians over there! Me thinking that he would never lead me astray... believed him! He started paddling right towards the shore where these lights were!! We started getting closer and I started to scream and told Jared to stop!!! I said stop this kayak Jared! RIGHT NOW! I even stomped my feet like a 2 year old girl and screamed. I was so scared! Jared was laughing and yelling to the shore to see who was there. (he was such a good faker!)
He was paddling like crazy and all of a sudden we were on the beach right by a burning torch. He jumped out and pulled the kayak on the shore. I said, Jared you did this for us? It’s so cute! He had flower peddles for a walkway leading to a blanket with little candles on the side of the walkway. There were 3 big fire torches lit with 2 lanterns around the blanket. It was so romantic and cute! We walked to the blanket and sat for a minute. I said Jared, we’re going to have a picnic? I had no idea what was going on. He sat the camera down and squatted behind me. He was cuddling me and told me that he needed to stretch his legs so he was going to squat behind me while cuddling me. I asked him if he was pooping! So romantic I know! We talked for a bit and next thing I know he is telling me how much he loves me and wants to be with me for forever… He then asked if I would marry him. I didn’t realize that he was on one knee and was holding a ring. The first thing out of my mouth was, “are you for real?!” Followed by, “are you serious?!” He moved the ring a little closer to my face and I started to cry. Sitting there waiting for an answer he asked, “have you answered my question?” I finally said YES I’ll marry you. Sorry Jar to make you wait so long for an answer!

We loaded back up the kayaks with all the stuff on the beach and started off back to the marina. It was about a 500 yard paddle. So when we got everything in the kayak Jared had me sit in front and pushed us out a little bit. The water is so gross! He went in a little past his ankles and got in. We were stuck on the rocks! Jared tells me to start rocking back and forth. We almost tip and he says no babe… rock front to back not side to side! We looked like twittle dee and twittle dumb! It was so funny! We headed off in the dark with the moon and stars to light our way. To my surprise Jared hired Roy City and Harrisville City to light their fireworks for us! OK so they just happened to be going off right as we were heading back in. It was such a pretty night.

This pretty much wraps up the night! So much FUN! I love him so much and I can’t wait to spend ETERNITY with him! Thanks Jar for the best night ever!

So in love with our families!

2009-08-02T23:08:00.000-07:00

Jared and and I absolutely love spending time with our families! We have gone on some double dates with our siblings, which has been lots of fun to spend one on one time with them! We also have had the opportunity to go to the Oqquirh Mountain Temple open house with Jareds parents (Roger and Gloria) that was a great experience to go there together! I look so forward to the day that I go through the temple, the spirit in there is so strong and you always leave with the best feeling! For the 4th of July we split it up with both of our families. We went to the kaysville parade with my fam and had a bbq then went up to North Ogden Cherry Days, had a bbq with his fam and then went and watched the fireworks! 4th of July is one of my all time favorite holidays ever and I got to spend the entire weeked with the love of my life! and guess what?....I still feel like I can't get enough of him! This summer we have done some fun boating trips with the Lee's! They are such a good family and I feel so honored to get to spend so much time with them! We went up to their cabin in Bear Lake over the 24th and had a lot of fun together! His nephew and nieces are so adorable!

Wow! Time flies when you are in L O V E LOVE!

2009-08-02T21:52:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty sure my life can't get much better than this! Did I mention that my twin brother Caseyand his cute wife Jackie are prego! I can hardly wait! They are due in February and they are going to be such good parents! My brother Johnathan and his wife Kathleen are having a baby GIRL in September! It will be so fun with a new little niece to add to their darling fam! Now I can buy lots of PINK! My other brother Ben just got married on July 31 in the Salt
Lake Temple and I will definitely post pics of that when I get some! He married such a great girl! My family has had a lot of exciting news lately and I have been such a slacker at not sharing any of it! So...as for the update on my life...well lets just say life is FANNNNNTASTIC! Jared and I have been having so much fun spending everyday of our lives together! We have gone on some super fun dates and here are some pics of a group date with some of my girly's I grew up with! I love all of them, they are so darling!

Nate and Raechel Kyle and Sarah Brian and Camille

I absolutely love that pic of Raechel and I laughing, it is so classic! One of our favorite things to do together is laugh, and we seem to be pretty good at it!

For another one of our fun dates we went to the batting cages! Notice the wrong choice of shoes for the batting cages....RED HIGH HEELS! hmm....oh well I still seemed to do pretty good, it was kind of a last minute decision to do the batting cages otherwise I would have dressed more appropriately with the right shoes!

We love our friends! Jared and I went out to dinner with his friend Joey and his cute wife Kalee! We went to Bella's, it was my first time there and I was impressed with everything! They had such good food!

my VACA to HAWAII

2009-08-02T21:08:00.000-07:00

holy motha! I can't believe last time I updated this it was in May! Let me just fill you in on all the excitement that has gone on since then! First of all I went on a vaca to HAWAII!!! I went there with my friend Meli cuz she works for a dentist and they had a dental convention...so needless to say I just went along for the ride!...and might you ask if I ever attended the convention. NOT AT ALL! we had SO much FUN!!! We went to Pearl Harbor, which was so humbling, the dole factory (I never thought I would pay so much for a pineapple icecream cone, but it was totally worth the price!) snorkeling, shopping (thats a given!), hiking, and lots of laying out of course!!! Hawaii was beautiful, and I had so much fun with Meli! She is such a doll face!

Hawaii was so great, but I didn't realize just how bad I would miss Jared! Him and I didn't coordinate our trips and the day I got back from Hawaii he flew into Hawaii! URG! talk about crappy planning! Him and I didn't see each other for over two weeks which felt like a life time! But at least we had Hawaii trying to pre occupy our time! I seriously love Jared so much!

He is simply Amazing!

2009-05-13T21:50:00.000-07:00

Saturday night Jared planned a surprise date for the two of us, and guess what we did?! He took me skydiving! Can you believe it? We actually jumped out of an airplane! It was SO AWESOME! It was so cute cuz he wrote me this cute letter telling me what we were going to be doing that night! I loved how he had it all planned out....what a sweetie! This is something that we have both always wanted to do and I'm so glad that we were able to do it!!! It was so much better than I ever imagined it being! Jared and I were the last fly of the night so we were able to jump at sunset and all I can say is WOW, it was so beautiful! We had a blast! We're ready for round two....BRING IT ON!

How adorable is this?!

2009-05-13T21:37:00.000-07:00

Let me just tell you that New York was a total blast! I loved every second of it! The hairshow we went to was 3 days long, and full of so much great info! There were tons of classes to attend, the runway stage, and over 3000 booths that had ANYTHING you could ever imagine that would do with the beauty industry! While I was there I bought an AIRBRUSH TANNING KIT....and now at the the salon I will offer Air Brush Tanning! If you want to try it out call the salon and make an appointment! (801) 779-3200

In the 5 days that we were there Joni and I decided to make a project called 24/7 365! Which means we would take 365 pics ! 852 pics later, we completely finished our project! What can I say...we're picture whores! It is so amazing how the city of New York never sleeps! It was 2 o'clock in the morning and there was still tons of people at Times Square! We tried to fit in everything that we could while we were there, from the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, FAO Schwartz, Times Square, China Town, the Manhattan Temple, etc.... We met up with one of my girlys Alysha for dinner one night! It was so good to see you hun! love ya! We also met up with my friend Kaitlyn from high school and went to a super fun diner for dinner! Thanks Kaitlyn your such a doll! Let me also just make a shout out to the little pizza joint in New York, it was amazing pizza (why we didn't go there for every meal is beyond me!) and last but not least we made our debut on National Television! thats right....we were on the TODAY SHOW! I love NEW YORK!!! Joni I love ya and thanks for all the good times in NYC!

time to get the update on my exciting life!

2009-04-15T21:15:00.000-07:00

Wow there is so much to say!....Where shall I start?! This last week has been a whirlwind of emotion! I am so head over heels right now that it isn't even funny... (Although I can't wear heels right now) Did I forget to mention that in heels I am taller than Jared?! They are retired at the moment...unless I am not with him! (Which is hardly ever!!!)

From watching Raechel straddle a saddle on a piece of wood to getting fresh with the Easter Bunny.. this week was full of fun! Jared and I took Raechel and Nate to dinner for her big 21 birthday party. So good to see you guys! Texas roadhouse was super yummy! : )

One of my friends from my old work Camille, and her hubby Nate invited us to go on a double with them. They are so in love, I think that it's adorable!

Friday Jared and I played house! We watched his niece and nephew for the night. We dyed Easter Eggs, made a fort, read stories, and of course took them to McDonalds for dinner. It was so much fun! They are the cutest little kids...next to my nephews of course.

The rest of the week was with Jared..Shocking I know! Easter was so much fun with my long lost love, the Easter Bunny!! We went to Jared's parents house for dinner. We played some mad games of fooseball... Jodi (his sister in-law) and I kicked his and Egan's (bro in law) butt!! Hola out to Jodi. My new Fav teammate! : ) Jared was demoted, but he redeemed himself by dressing up as the Easter Bunny. He does this every year for his family and neighbors. He makes one cute little bunny!

Life is just great and I'm loving every second of it!

I am a happy happy girl!

2009-04-07T12:28:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been spending basically every waking moment with Mr. Jared P. Lee! Him and I just can't seem to get enough of each other! Other than just hanging out together we have done a few sushi nights, american idol nights, and last night we went to a benefit concert for Paul Cardall! Jared's sweet mom bought us tickets, and it was super good! I was almost in tears at some points! Afterwards we had a super late but yummy dinner at the famous Cheesecake Factory! Jared just constantly makes me laugh and we had so much fun jammin' out in the car on our way back from the SLC! woot woot....here comes the next american idol! oh and I can't forget to mention hanging out with my Meli, she is one of my bestest friends and she is so beautiful!

It's time to make this exciting!

2009-04-07T12:10:00.000-07:00

I know my blog has started out pretty boring, so I decided its time to make it fun! Here's the update on my life in the past few weeks...first girls night....who doesn't love that! Holla out to all my single ladies! We went to Texas Roadhouse and then went dancing! We absolutely love dancing, we used to make it a weekly thing, but now we've out grown that (basically we're too cool or too old! we haven't figured out which one!) The next week we did a girls night with some of our married girlys and went to one of our favorite places...California Pizza Kitchen!

2009-03-31T15:27:00.000-07:00

Its kind of like the game speed but in a different way! My friend Jared and I can stay up all night playing it, literally it is just that fun! Sunday night was so much fun playing it while we watched Hairspray! lol gotta love that movie! Thanks Jar!...and for the record I did win (just once!)
