They let me live in their basement...can you believe that....too sweet. I feel full, I feel compelete. I want always to have this feeling and to remember the sweet feeling of the temple! Thank you for everyone that was there. You know who you are and you know how I feel about you. The church is True...there I said it!

YOUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED!

Glorified Turkey Bowl

 

Last night was the monthly Mortimer family night. We all get together every 4th monday and have Family Home Evening. This particular Monday we decided to watch an arena football game at the Mckay Event Center! Now I realize I'm not much of a sports fan and I don't exactly see the appeal in most manly events. Having said that I once again was unimpressed with the male pursuit of entertainment. Arena Football was like watching a bunch of buddies getting together to throw the ball around. The guy in stripes threw flags every other play and the announcer had a rather femanine voice. "Let's make some noise you all!" I hate when a snotty manshe tells me to make noise for a sport I don't even understand! WHAT AM I WATCHING! Luckily for everyone I was with my favorite people....MY FAMILY! It's always nice to have some time with the but I vote next month we do something focused more at us women. I'm talking a family spa night or perhaps we could get together and have a sleepover with a pillow fight and paint each others nails. As long as I never have to hear that announcers voice again! HOORAY FOR FAMILY NIGHT! pictures posted later.
 
Aunt Anna and Baby Frank

Finally!

March 13th I had my interview for the secondary Ed program! If accepted I will be a teacher in one year. I feel like the inerview went really well and I am waiting in anticipation. I have always wanted to be a teacher but for some reason didn't think I could make it through 4 years of college. Apparently I can make it through 5 years of college. I feel so ready to be done with college and move on in life. Having a baby now I'm not exaclty sure how much I will be teaching anyway but I want that degree, I worked hard for that! So wish me luck, send your prayers do whatever you have to do so that I make it into the program!

My Super Hot Valentine

Valentines was amazing! Jake suprised me with lunch at our house.

He even decorated doughnuts with my name and one that said J + J

There were roses and a basket of all my favorites!

Then we went to The Grill for dinner it was awesome!



I LOVE MY MAN!

V to the DAY!

This is my first Valentine's with a Valentine! My wonderful husband Jake is surprising me with some sort of a date today! This morning I surprised him with a basket full of his favorite snacks and a little book I put together that tells our story. Here is the book I'll fill in the captions so you can read the story. Sorry if the first pic is too much I think it is hilarious and small so should be appropriate.

Once upon a time there was a handsome prince named Jake Ben

He was far handsomer then any other prince in all the land.

Not only was he handsome but he was talented
He was part of the famous Thrillionaires
He was funny, smart and super talented
He modeled for the most famous fashion companies

If anyone was to look at his life they would think he had everything!


But Jake felt like something was missing


On the other side of the country there was a young woman who thought she had it all. She was fearless and happy with how things in her life were going

Then it happened!
Fate stepped in
Fates name was Christopher Clark

Chris was doing a play at the local college and asked if Jake and Julie would be in the show.



Both accepted and started rehersals for The Heiress

Julie was sitting there just waiting for rehearsal to start when Jake stepped in the room. Immedietly he caught her eye.

Jake noticed Julie from afar and thought...Hmmm she's cute

All during rehersals they flirted and tried to get each others attention.

For months nothing happened



Then finally Jake Ben woke up and knew that Julie was the girl. The one thing he had waited for.

He proposed on a chilly night in a lightly lite park

Julie loved Jake and knew that she was suppose to be with him FOREVER!


On a warm day, May the 24th, to be exact the looked at each other and be together FOREVER!


Jake promised to fight off any other man that tried to love Julie

And to give up coffee

Julie promised to kiss him everyday and to make dinner, when she wasn't sick!

Now that they had vowed to love each other forever the next step was to baby a beautiful baby.



On Jan. 15th Franklin Ben Suazo was born and made the family complete.

Franklin was the perfect example of how much they loved each other.

It was inevitable that Julie and Jake Ben would love each other forever and ever.

With a husband like Jake Julie knew she would be happy ALWAYS!


So that was the whole book. I made him read it to me out loud because anytime I make him something he makes me read it. Oh how the table turned. He cried and we kissed it was a great morning. A great start to my FIRST V-DAY!

Guilt!

Oh the guilt! Being a mom is tough! I took Franklin into the doctor cause he was coughing and turns out he has a little cold. Nothing to worry about yet but could turn into something more. I can't believe how much you can blame yourself for stuff like this, "I shouldn't have taken him out." "Maybe that horrible little boy at the Chinese Buffet gave him the plauge!" All these things run through your head. I'm sanatizing everything in my house and praying it doesn't turn to RSV! Cross your fingers, say a prayer or do a chant. Just help a sister out here I've got to set this guilt aside!
