So I know that once your married you start counting anniversaries from your wedding date.. well we will start that from our one year from 7.10.09 still. But a year ago today was a good day for me and Jon! It was the day that we were "officially" together:)
Last year me and Jon started hanging out around the end of August.. It didn't take us long for both of us to know that we just wanted each other forever!
It all started with me messaging Jon on facebook asking him how his mission was.. Thank goodness I decided to get facebook that month! I have ALWAYS had a crush on Jon .. (Most everyone knows this).. since probably about the 9th grade! Soo I just thought talkin to him was awesome.. When he wrote back you should have seen me! I ran into my mom and was
like oooohh my gosh! Guess who is talking to me on facebook! I was just so happy:) So that is how we started talking.. He was moving to Salt Lake for school and I was moving to Provo for school and all my friends were moving to Salt Lake so I told him that we should hang out since I would be coming to Salt Lake so much! Well we exchanged phone numbers which was sooo GREAT! So we finally decided to meet up!
We didn't start the process of hanging out till way too late.. and to make it even harder was that we were TEXTING to find each other and get directions.. I was new to drivin in Utah so didn't know how to get around.. So after lots of driving we finally met up. We parked up a hill from temple square and the conference center. When I walked up to him he gave me a hug:) He was so nervous, I could tell.. But so was I of course! I was hanging out with the love of my life!
We walked around temple square then stopped and sat and talked for such a long time! We talked till about 3 AM.. and I still had to drive all the way to Provo.. Jeeze I wanted him bad to sacrifice driving late and losing sleep.. haha
We hung out EVERYDAY after that then on the 4th of September, he came to my house and we walked around my neighborhood and stopped at my church house and talked again forever.. We could always just talk and talk and talk for hours.. it was hard for us to stop ourselves from talking.. Later that night after he left we were still talking and we decided that we were definitely considered "together" haha so junior high, I know.. But I love it!!! He still gives me those butterflies he gave me from the very beginning:)
I am soo soo grateful that I got to get to know Jon.. I knew from the very moment I met him that I would love this boy for the rest of my life.. I want him to know that I will ALWAYS love him forever and ever! There is nothing that could ever make me happier.. Our life together is awesome and I know that it will only get better!
I LOVE YOU JON !!! FOREVER!!

This is the spot where we first met up.. We decided to take a picture ha
So tonight for dinner, we had this WONDERFUL dish! Called, Hootnannies! I absolutely LOVEEEDDD this growing up! Every birthday we got to pick what we wanted to dinner. And this is what I picked, ALWAYS! So we probably had this every January 23rd for like 8 years in a row haha! It is probably the best pancake in the world! I love when things bring back such great memories.. Jon had never had it but, he loved it. I am so glad:)
Over Labor Day weekend Jon's old roommate came to Utah. We all went to a Salt Lake Bee's game which they won barely in the last inning.. it was pretty fun. We watched the fireworks after! It was a lot of fun seeing everyone again!
This last weekend My best friend Bridgette came down to visit! It was so fun to see her and hang out with her! We went to lunch and played some guitar hero. 
Then on Saturday Jon had to leave to Wyoming for some soccer games. So I went home to Idaho with Bridgette for a homecoming. 
We went to the Eastern Idaho State fair on Saturday night. I haven't been to the fair in years! It was a lot of fun! This is us in line for a ride.. It was the very first fair ride I have ever been on in my life and I had a blast!
On Sunday after the homecoming me and my family went to my Grandma Stowell's house for dinner. She got to see her great granddaughter for the first time this weekend:)
Baby Ava.. I got a new phone and I got a program that I can do fun things with pictures.. So I've had some fun with it!
