What A Ride

I have been meaning to start up a blog for the last couple of month. One of my goals for 2013 was to do more journaling. I'm a little late getting started. The reason I wanted to achieve this goal is because I know how easy it is to forget the "little" things in life... I don't want to look back and realize that they were "big" things.
Let go back to 2012... What a crazy roller coaster for me! What started out as a nightmare became one of my biggest blessings. In 2012 my divorce was final. I never dreamed anything like that would happen to me. I did... I have learned how to forgive those who had hurt me. As well as wish them the best. I also learned to embrace change & get back on my feet. I would often think "why was this happening to me" or "why couldn't of my relationship have been like so & so" I finally came along a quote that said "Don't compare your love story to those you watch in movies or others around you. Yours is written by God." Wow that was powerful for me and made me realize maybe he did have a bigger & better plan for me.
My new beginning came in June 2012. Ryan came back home to Utah after working in California for a year and a half. For those of you that may not know this... Ryan and I dated throughout high school for about three years. When he came home in June we got together and caught up on everything that had been going on. After dating for months, we decided that we wanted to make it official. Ryan proposed to me October 3, 2012 right after I took him to the airport and sent him on this way to Washington (where he went back to work). I remember being pretty sad dropping him off. Who wouldn't be though right? We just got engaged. Ryan & I got married on February 16, 2013. That day was filled with joyful tears, laughter, and just a warm loving vibe throughout the evening. It was the perfect day. Those that came were close family & friends (aka our biggest fans). We are so lucky & blessed to have them in our lives.
I just want to take a minute and give a shout out to my #1 person. Ryan & I have been through a lot together. He has never complained, never made me feel bad, and has been 100% supportive. I have no idea what I would do without this man. He is honestly the best guy I know. He always puts a smile on my face & always makes me laugh even when I had a bad day.
I remember about 2 years ago someone was telling me how she and her husband stayed up all night laughing and talking. I thought... wow I wished I had that. Well Heavenly Father answered my prayer and I have that today. So thanks babe for being simply amazing.
On April 1st we get to start remodeling our house in American Fork. Even though we have A LOT of work ahead of us this next month. I'm very excited to start doing the "little" things again. For example cleaning, cooking, and yes outside work. It's silly but I have really missed planting a flower bed. So after we get remodeled, moved in, garden planted, then I'll start on that.
I have also recently started my own aesthetic business called simply beyoutiful. I'm excited to start it and hopefully by the end of April I can start advertising and take more clients when I get my room all set up.
It's been one crazy ride but I have to say it has all been worth it! I'm so blessed and excited for the new chapter of my life. Thank you to everyone who has helped along the way. I'm very blessed to have people like you in my life.
