New year, new attempt!

So I had become pretty decent at blogging, butttttttt then....life happened? I knew this before, but living life is better than writing about it!

Devin is graduating this year, Carson's 2 1/2, and Talan, born in June, just turned 6 months! We just returned from Christmas in California where we met Mason, my sister Samantha's babym who was just born! We spent time in Bear Valley with my Aunt and family, then celebrated NYE at a hotel in St Gorge. We got there at 11:35, got the kids in pajamas and watched the ball drop. We and a group hug, group kiss, snuggles, shared some 7up pomegranate from the gas station across the street, and went to bed! Sounds lame, but it's a great memory! It was also my first NYE in Utah. Let's hope that means the best year yet! Last year was hard with the loss of my grandpa and Nancy, but Talan was born, and we had some fun times as a family, hopefully I can document some of those fun times this year!

I used to think one day, they'd tell the story of us...

Devin and I met on the internet. Go ahead, laugh. We were both coming out of awful relationships and playing the field. Devin was working in Park City at the time, and drove over to Provo after work to hang out with me and my roomies. He totally ended up kissing me that night. I thought I wouldn't ever hear from him again, but he actually responded to my text the next day! We talked back and forth all day long. The next morning he showed up at my work (45 minutes away from him!) with flowers. The office secretary said, "Oh! He is a keeper!" I wasn't totally sure. After a romantic lunch at Taco Bell, he asked me to be his girlfriend. How corny! But, I said yes of course! Things moved quickly. We ended up stuck in Park City together and had to stay the night at the Marriott due to the weather. My mom was terrified and said, "I watch CSI! Be careful!" Devin and I just stayed up late and talked. That is when he told me he was falling in love with me.He even sang a song to me. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry! Haha! I was feeling the same way. It was so fast, yet so real, and exactly how I thought it should feel! I was smitten! He kept bringing up marriage. I had recently been engaged to a loser-extrordinare, and didn't want to rush into anything. He backed off and said, "Oh yea, me niether!" A few days later we were talking and he looked at me and said, "This is ridiculous, we know we are going to get married!" The next day we went ring shopping! He proposed on January 30, 2008. I was called to the main office and was told the prinicpal wanted to see me. I was kind of nervous! I had just talked to Devin on the phone, and as far as I knew, he was at home! I was also under the impression the ring would be out getting sized for atleast another week. I was not suspicious at all. I walked into the office and saw several flowers, but thought nothing of it. The secretary told me to go around the corner. As I turn, Devin pops out of the nurses office and drops to one knee. In my shocked state, I exclaimed, "You're doing this HERE!?" We laughed, we cried, he got on with it and I said yes. We were married 5 months later, and the rest is history. Or the present. And you get to read about it!
