Denise... I love you!

So today is just one of those days where you take a minute, sit back and think about how blessed your life really is. Am I the only one who does that? Probably not, I'm sure a lot of people do it. Well today I was doing that, for the bettter part of the day one blessing kept coming to my mind, Denise Marie Mullins.
When Denise and I met there was just something about her that made me want to be with her for the rest of my life and for forever. I could talk to her, I could joke with her, and I could be my really random weird self with her. It was so great! On our first date I picked her up and before we had even made it down the street she had grabbed my iPod turned on Aerosmith and started scream singing it at the top of her lungs telling me and Brady that we needed to join in. I pulled a Mosby and immediately I fell for her. She told me she was terrible at bowling that night, but I believe in the first game she killed me, I kept telling her that she was telling me she was bad just so that I'd go easy on her and then she could beat me. She swore that she had never bowled that well in her life, she proved it on the second game ;)
Denise convinced me one day to buy a game called Left 4 Dead, and to get xbox live again so we could play it online. I did as I was told and we would spend hours sitting on my couch killing zombies together. We even bought huge safety pins so we could build a fort around the living room and play Left 4 Dead in our fort but I ended up moving before we could do that. We saved the pins though and will get to use them in the living room in our own home in January.
So many things about Denise led me to fall in love with her, but the thing that I saw in her that really made it all happen was her love for the Gospel, for the Savior and for our Father in Heaven. From the very first day that I talked to Denise she has helped me want to be a better person. She has lifted me up and helped me to become stronger and closer to my Heavenly Father.
Denise, I cannot express in words the love that I feel for you in my heart. You are my everything, I have never been so happy and so in love! Whether its walking around ikea, playing xbox, watching football or reading our scriptures I love what we are doing because its with you. In a few weeks we will be sealed together for all of eternity, I cannot wait to be with you forever, to have little BTWs running around us making us crazy. You are the most amazing person that I have ever met and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for putting me on the path to find you and to find the happiness and love that you have given to me.
Thank you for making me a better person, for picking me up and helping me to be who I am today. Thank you for loving everything about me, including the weird stuff, like when I rap songs that shouldn't be rapped or when I quote movies over and over, or continuously annoy you until you're probably wondering why you ever agreed to go on a second date with me. Each morning I wake up and look around my room at 61 sticky notes, each one stating a different reason that you love me, and I think about how lucky I am to have been through all of the trials I have been through in order to finally get to you.
I love you Denise, I will always love you and I will do everything that I can to show you that I love you, each and every day.

Love,

AJ

IKEA DATE!

So Friday night we decided we needed to get out and do something just us! We have been so busy planning and doing family things we hadn't done anything in a while. (plus we are trying to save money). So we decided to go down to eat at In & Out Burger in Draper. Which was extremely quick (and oh so delicious) especially for a friday night! We were literally in and out! (HA HA HA) Then we decided to go walk around Ikea, which was a blast. We didn't realize they closed at 9! We had only walked around about a third of the store when they started to kick everyone out! We were super bummed. So we walked around Walmart instead! We had a sword fight with these awesome toy swords that feel really hard and hit against each other hard but don't hurt you! They were AWESOME!

P.S. ( moral of the story is we really want those swords for christmas! I mean how awesome would it be to come home from work to find your spouse waiting with a sword ready to have a sword fight! I KNOW RIGHT!)



Aj really knows how to ride the lady bugs!

Park City Madness!

So during Thanksgiving we all went and stayed up in a condo in park city with AJ's Aunt and Uncle, His parents, And his little brother Brady! I really wanted to go to the Tanger Outlets Midnight Madness thing. So AJ, Brady, and I went over at about 11 figuring it would be packed and an hour early would be best. To our surprise almost all the stores were already open and doing their sales! So we got all the deals with none of the crowds. We ended up staying until about 2 in the morning wandering around looking at the deals! (Only bought about 4 presents though). At 2 it got a bit insane. I saw a man trying to run over a guy standing in a parking stall trying to save it. IT WAS CRAZY! So we headed back to the condo and slept! The next day we shopped probably until about 6! Not really buying anything more just trying on stuff and going in all the cool stores on main street in park city! It was a really fun day! We went to baja cantina one of my families favorite restaurants! Which i have some fun pictures from! I'm so glad that AJ's family let me come up with them!





Bev and Stevie boy!



The whole gang!
