Festival of Colors photos

we arrived at the Hare Krishna Temple in Spanish fork a couple of
hours before the Holi Festival Began and this is what it looked like.
We took the bus to get there.  For those who plan on going next year
it will be a lot better because the road will be widened and they are learning to have shuttles to minimize the time it takes to get out of there! 

We had a ton of fun.  For those of you who haven't been, it's simply
crazy.  Everyone throws colored chalk-flour and as you can see, we all
get ...colorful.  We don't really get why they have this celebration,
but it is fun anyways.  We love the culture and the food.  We continue
to go to star of india and they let us watch Bollywood movies while
we're there.  This time we went with our friends who live down in
Spanish Fork.  They are awesome!  We decided to break away from the
Indian food for a bit and we got Pier 49 pizza afterward..mmmmm!

The many ways I love him!

Everyday I am amazed with Aaron!  I love his love for the gospel, and how passionate he is for learning anything and everything. I love how he looks at me, and the way he makes me smile everyday. I love his passion for music, and the way I feel when he sings or plays for me. I never thought my heart could be so full of love. I never thought I could snatch a man like this, I didn't think I deserved it. We have grown so much together and I am so excited to see what the future holds for us. I am so grateful and blessed to be married to my best friend for time and ALL eternity. What a great blessing and comfort that is to me. I am looking forward to the time when we have children, to see him in that role as a father. I feel so lucky and happy that our kids will be graced with such an incredible dad, with such a strong spirit and a tender heart! No, there is no special occasion or reason that I am writing this. It doesn't need to be our anniversary or his birthday to let him know how much I care and admire him. I love you Aaron, thank you for everything you have taught me, and will continue to teach me. Thank you for always being there for me, and letting me know that everything will be okay. thank you for loving me, even with all of my faults. Thank you for teaching me who I really am. Thank you for making my life and future so much brighter and full of hope. I can't  really seem to find the words to describe how deeply I feel for you. I guess what I am trying to say is - thank you for being you and choosing me!  I love you forever! xoxox

The pizza shop!

Last night we got together with my family and played games and had pizza.  We had a lot of fun.  Codi and Ryann put together their own little pizza shop and had us all come upstairs and "eat" at their place first.  They had menus and toys for us to play with while we ate.  It was really cute.  They even sang us a song for entertainment.  I love children and the stuff they come up with. i asked if their pizza shop was expensive. Ryann then asked me if we were rich or poor. i told her we were poor, she got a concerned little look on her face and then said... well, you can eat for free. it made me laugh. Come to find out, if we were rich, it would cost us $1, not bad. :) They were working so hard together to get all 11 of our orders right, and to make sure that we were all well taken care of. i was so proud of them, you could just see the pure joy on their faces because they had accomplished something that they worked so hard at. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Thank you Codi and Ryann for making my night so much better! :)
