New Blogger!!


Oh I am so excited about blogging! Lol I was inspired to start blogging when I saw my aunts blog about her wonderful home, family, and walk with the Lord! And was further inspired when one of my very best friends wrote a blog about my wedding dress on her blog. The list just goes on from there! I have been attempting to plan my 50's themed wedding and have felt a little over whelmed by the whole thing. I want it to be perfect.. you see the man I am now engaged to marry is my ex husband. I know crazy right! Well we met when I was 15 years old.I had just moved in with my aunt(other mother) in Kamas,Ut and I didnt really know anyone. I ended up meeting Jeff( my fiance) and quickly fell head over heels for him. We met on January 28th! A few short months later my cousin who was also living at my aunts house died in child birth and went home to be with Jesus. While it was a graduation day for her, it was a sad day for my family. Now her 2 beautiful little girls still live with my aunt and their father in Kamas. My aunt is now the only mother they have and might I add she is doing an amazing amazing job! About 3 weeks after Christine died I moved back into my dads house in Tooele, Ut and Jeff and I started to drift apart. To make that part of the story short... I ended up pregnant and lost the baby at 13 weeks and 4 months later I was pregnant again. Jeff and I got married... I was 17.. wow (I should have been shot!) Neither Jeff nor I had a relationship with Jesus at this time. I was raised a Christian but I walked away at the age of 13. Jeff was raised LDS but had never really followed it. We started our marriage off with many problems. Drugs being the biggest next to not following Christ. We were only married over a year .. adultery came into play and the drugs just never stopped. So I left. Things got very scary between the both of us I'm going to spare most of the details out of respect for my future husband.. and trust me its not worth hearing. I started jumping from relationship to relationship.. guy after guy.. On November 22nd 2008 I was invited to go to a church called "The Rock" I went and while I was there I surrendered my life to the Lord. OH HAPPY DAY!!!! God was working in my life but little did I know God was also working in Jeff's life. On June 4th '09 Jeff checked himself into the Salvation Army rehab program! Hallelujah! He completely surrendered his life to the Lord as well! It is nothing short of a miracle what God has done in our little family! May 28th will mark 1 year of him being sober! Thank you Jesus. We have been back together since the end of January and he proposed to me on April 9th my 21st birthday! Wow that was a ton to write but hey.. I'm new at this whole blogging thing...
