Jonny and Whitney

I know it's been like 4 months

2010-08-22T16:09:00.000-07:00

Our Internet has been fishy so I have tried to update our blog and it keeps disconnecting us so it's working now...

May- Jonny started his EMT training class he has loved it, its in American Fork and he went everyday. He also was able to do a ride along with the Spanish Fork Ambulance, he really enjoyed doing that. He also started doing a "Student Teaching Assistant" for an Anatomy class during the Summer. He was able to prepare cadavers for the students and he loved playing with the bodies.

June- We dont really remember what happened in June

July- I turned 23! And I got an AMAZING Bike for my birthday! I love it, I ride it to work and back everyday. We were able to go out to Reno to see Jonny's family, his grandparents aren't doing very well so we made a quick trip out there, we had a really fun time with his family. Jonny's brother cracks me up, it was the best time when we were all driving in the car having a good time.

August- Well Jonny finished his EMT Class and passed! He is also all done with his "STA" Anatomy class too.

Im looking forward to helping watching my nieces these next two weeks, my Sister Megan and her husband are going to the Ukraine for the Temple dedication.

Jonny's excited to start school up again this week.

Were excited for the Holidays coming up and Im happy to be blogging again.

Here are a couple of pictures haha we had the biggest sandwiches for dinner a few weeks ago and I wanted to take pictures

2010-02-22T11:18:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day was so nice and quiet this year. Obviously because Valentine's Day was on a Sunday Jonny and I celebrated it on the Saturday before, but so did everyone else in the state of Utah. Jonny worked on Saturday till about 4 and we were going to go to dinner and then go to the Temple, so we were at home at about 4:30 and we had just gotten in our Sunday clothes to go to dinner and the Temple and I looked at Jonny and said "I need to spend time with you and only you, can we just go to dinner and then come back home and be with each other, no homework, no family just us?" And so thats exactly what we did, we changed into regular clothes and decided to move our couch back and set up our tent we got from our wedding. We left for dinner, which everywhere was completely packed! We decided on Olive Garden which was a 75 minute wait but thats ok we sat and talked which we haven't done in a long time and it was a wonderful dinner. We went back home and set up the tent inside and had the doors of the tent facing the Tv and we just watched a movie, and gave each other our Valentine's Day presents, we wish we had more money to spend more money on each other but we dont so Jonny gave me a ring pop and said "I wanted to buy you a big diamond ring but that will have to wait" and put the ring pop on my finger, then he said "I wanted to take you on a nice vacation but that will have to wait" and he handed me beach car fresheners. And then he said "I wanted to buy you a new car but I got you this instead" and he handed me a hot wheels sports car toy. It was really cute. He did get me a gift certificate to get a massage at my favorite place ever Mainsping Day Spa so Im super excited about that! Then I gave him my present which I just picked up at Ross but we all know what it was and thats the end of this post. Hahaha It was a very nice Valentine's Day and I loved spending it with my Valentine.

ps we actually celebrated Chinese New Year on Valentine's Day at my mom's with the neighbors it was so fun! Jonny and I made the Wontons! Way to much Chinese food!

My resolution

2010-02-11T11:52:00.000-08:00

Well It has been a month and almost a half and I am happy to say I haven't bitten my nails since December 31, 2009! I am very proud of myself and happy to show them off. So here are some pictures of my fingers, and yes they are my fingers.

It's not you, it's me...

2010-01-26T13:17:00.000-08:00

Growing up my mom always told me I have a special gift, I have a great love for people, and I had never really known what she was talking about. I mean ya I guess I loved people but I could honestly get along with anyone... I mean the first time my friend told me that "so-and so" doesn't like you I went home and cried! I was like 16! It hurt so bad to know that "so-and-so" doesn't like me, and it wasn't in a "crush" sort of way it was he honestly didn't like me as a friend or a person.
I don't know when this gift to love people I had went away, but I really miss it. I think it happened when I moved to Utah, I think it's because I have had 2 life's. I don't know very many people that have lived two life's but I have.
You see I used to have this life with this wonderful family in this beautiful home where I had a mom and a dad and lots of sister. Every Sunday we went to church altogether and had an amazing dinner and every Saturday we would clean the house. We got up super early every morning to have scripture study and we would end every night with a family prayer. I loved this life, I loved people, I loved everything.
Then I moved to Utah and I had a mom and siblings, and lots of family here. And every Sunday we went to church together and had a amazing dinner, and every Saturday we would clean the house. And we read scriptures at night and we would end every night with a prayer, but it was different... I don't know why and I don't know how but I changed.
Obviously there is a BIG difference between these two life's I have lived, and I'm not looking for sympathy or anything so don't think that, but I believe my gift went away when my dad was killed in an accident. And I say killed because that's what happened, he didn't die, he didn't pass away he was hit on his Bike and killed. I do miss him a lot, no one will ever understand. And I want him back, but something left from me with him.
I have lost this special gift and I want it back... I do love people but sometimes they just drive me crazy!!! And I'm not saying this because someone is driving me crazy at this moment I am saying this because I need to get over this attitude and get my gift back.
So when I snap at you for some stupid reason I just want you to know that it's not you, it's me. I am working on it and I guess you'll just have to be a little patient with me. And I'm sure all of you who are reading this obviously we are pretty close and I have probably snapped at you before and I just want to say

I'm sorry.

and

I'll be better.

I promise.

New Year's Resolution

2010-01-08T12:01:00.000-08:00

Well it's that time of year again where we all make a bunch of promises that we try to keep but only succeed in some of them. I however have only one New Year's Resolution and it's been going pretty good. This is what it is...

I have tried over and over and over again to stop biting my nails. This time I'm gonna do it!

The Flasher (I dont mean the camera kind)

2010-01-06T08:08:00.000-08:00

Last weekend Jonny went and visited his family in Sparks. But this post isn't about his trip he can do that and tell you all about it (he probably wont I dont think he's even looked at this blog since he wrote our proposal story like over a year ago). No this post is about our experience taking him to the Train Station to go to Sparks... enjoy.

It was a cold Thursday evening, New Year's eve to be exact, we drove to the Train Station in Provo. I was kinda sad, not very excited for him to go because this was the first time he has ever left me at home. As we pull up to this tiny parking lot at this tiny station, were a bit early I was nervous that he was going to miss the Train. We parked and just talked and Provo Town Center stated lighting fireworks, it was so nice to be in our warm car looking out the front window watching Fireworks.

So we were waiting for the train which was only like 10 minutes away, and this car pulls up next to us on my side (I was in the driver's seat) and Im asking Jonny if he looks creepy, and how old he looks and Jonny was just laughing at me and said I can look at him cuz his head is turned, so I turn my head to look at him and he turns his head toward me at the same time. I didn't want him to think I just wanted to stare at him so I smiled and turned my head back toward Jonny.

Well now the train should be there any minute. So I looked out the window to the left cuz thats the direction that the train should be coming and it is also the direction of this man in the car next to me, well he gets out of his car and is facing me, he opens his jacket and Im thinking, this man doesn't have a shirt on, so I was just about to tell Jonny that this guy next to us is nuts cuz he doesn't have a shirt on but before I tell Jonny that I look down and this guy doesn't have ANYTHING on!!!! He was completely naked! I turned to Jonny and said very calmly "That guy just showed me his penis." Jonny at first didn't believe me until he looked over and the guy was driving away in his car. Jonny tried to get the guys licence plate numbers but we couldn't.... and come to find out the train was an hour late!

But I was honestly a little freaked out by the whole thing, not cuz I saw a man's penis cuz honestly it was dark and I didn't see really anything, but I was a little freaked out cuz it could have been something so much worse. We were in a crappy part of town and NO-ONE was around. Im really grateful that it wasn't any worse. I didn't sleep very good that night but I think that was mainly cuz Jonny wasn't there next to me.

I wish I could go back and redo the whole thing cuz you know what I would have done differently? When the stupid pervert got out of his car to flash me I would have pointed and laughed as loud as I could and said "thats the smallest thing I've ever seen!!!"

2009-11-23T07:16:00.000-08:00

Jonny and I have had such a CrAzY week! Well mainly weekend, on Friday it was my wards relief society Fall Fling, and I had such a great time, we made these Believe signs I love them! Here is a picture of what it looks like

It was a late night, we were able to be there from 6-12am it was at a lady in my wards beautiful home, I also made a cross-stitched stocking with our last name on it, that was really cute too but I dont have a picture of it. Also on Friday night my little Sister Malerie got engaged. She's engaged to a guy she met at BYU his name is Stephen Greco and he's from North Carolina, we are so excited for them, he's such a great guy!

On Saturday Jonny had to work from 7:30 to about 4 so that kinda sucked, but my sister Aubrey and Josh went to the BYU Football game so my brother Noah and I watched her kids Savannah and Jameson, we took them to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point.

After that we went and picked up Jonny and we went to In n Out which just opened up here in Orem, the line was of course out the door and Jameson wasn't very happy because he was so cold but wouldn't stand under the heaters cuz that was too hot. He is so funny, after that my mom came and got Noah and Aubrey came and got her kids and it was a date night for Jonny and I. We went and saw the movie The Blind Side and oh man it was soooooo good! I laughed! I cried! It was like 2 hours long too. It was really good, I HIGHLY recommend it!

Yesterday was Sunday and I really really like the ward were in, Jonny is a Financial Clerk in the ward and I just got a calling yesterday, I am a Sunday School teacher for the 15-16 year old, Im really excited, hopefully everything will go well for the next month or so and then I'll be getting a new class, cuz of the new year.

Speaking of that! I cant believe it's already Thanksgiving this week! Man time sure has flown by this year, this economy has been hard on everyone and I hope this new year is a lot better.

Well thats whats going on with us, I hope everyone has a Happy and a safe Thanksgiving!

Disneyland

2009-11-04T09:50:00.000-08:00

Jonny and I just got back from a WONDERFUL Vacation with the Martinez Family! We went to San Diego and stayed at Jonny's uncle's house and went to Disneyland and Knots Berry Farm with his family! We had so much fun with everyone and want to especially thank Cindy for all her hard work to get us all there! Thanks sooooooooo much! We had a great time!!!!!

Here is everyone at Disneyland.

Here is a Picture of Jonny with the 3D glasses for the Brand New Toy Story ride! It was so fun!

Here is the Group for the Bug's Life 3D show!

We also dressed up like Pirates at Disneyland, it was so funny someone thought Jonny worked there and they asked him where the bathroom was :)

We also got to go to the Beach and it was BEAUTIFUL! We went right at sunset and the pictures are so beautiful! Here are my Favorites of Jonny and Me!

Hope Everyone had a fun and Safe Halloween we sure did.

1 Year Anniversary

2009-10-05T11:30:00.001-07:00

On Saturday Jonny and I celebrated our 1 Year Anniversary! This year sure has gone by fast! We started out the morning by going to Temple Square in Salt Lake, which is where we were married a year ago. But we attended the Saturday morning session of Conference. It was really good. If you haven't ever been to Conference I would suggest it! So at the beginning of Conference my stomach was really starting to hurt, I think I was hungry, and I was kinda nervous that we would have to leave cuz it hurt so bad, so I said a prayer and then I fell asleep on Jonny's shoulder, I woke up and the first speaker was talking and I felt 100% better! I was so happy! After an amazing session of Conference we went to our Favorite restaurant Tacano's! It's amazing! I am so thankful to be married to Jonny for all of Eternity! I love him so much and he means everything to me! Happy Anniversary!

My Husband cracks me up!

2009-09-21T13:30:00.000-07:00

Jonny is sssssoooooooo funny! He is constantly trying to make me laugh, which isn't very hard because I laugh at everything. But he just cracks me up. We were at my moms a while ago and I dont know where she got this but it's a knights helmet and Jonny put it on...

On Saturday we went to the Penrod BBQ with my family and my Mom painted the little kids faces and Jonny let me paint "eyes" on his eyelids, so when he closed his eyes they looked open, well it turned out kinda scary...

We had a prayer on the food and I whispered to Jonny during the prayer to close his eyes! lol

And this picture was taken at Aubrey's house, he got outta the shower and grabbed the towel closest to him which happens to be our 2 year old Nephew Jameson's towel.

Oh Honey I love you so much, thanks for always making me laugh!

Sacramento Trip

2009-09-15T11:40:00.001-07:00

So this past weekend I was able to go to Sacramento for my cousin's wedding! It was soooooo BEAUTIFUL! I wish I would brought the camera, but we cant find it.

Here is Daniel and Ashley with my Uncle Mike and my Aunt Lynette! I'm so excited for them and the whole day was absolutely beautiful!

I had a great time with Megan & Joe and the girls! They are so fun. Isabella calls me ninnie ( and so does Savannah and Jameson) but she was quiet surprised to find out my name is Whitney, she told Joe that that wasn't my name and that my name is ninnie. :) It was so fun!

Here is Isabella

And here is baby Nat! She is sooooo funny, she does the cutest faces!!!!

Have you Forgotten

2009-09-11T08:25:00.000-07:00

I am so emotional today I can hardly stand it. Ever since I woke up I cannot stop thinking about 9-11-01 I remember that day like it was yesterday, I was getting ready for school, I was a Freshman and my Aunt Tamra called us and I answered "Turn on the TV!" And I asked what channel and she said it doesn't matter, just as I turned it on and was taking it in the second airplane crashed into the Twin Towers, I'll never forget that and I wont forget the feelings I'm feeling right now as I remember that Day.

Today is also the 5 year anniversary of burying my Dad, I miss him so much.

I'm sorry if this post is making you feel bad, I have to put my emotions somewhere. I cant help but think of my Savior today, I know he lives and loves me, I'm so thankful for the Sacrifice he went through, I love him with all my heart!

I love these kids!

2009-09-08T08:46:00.001-07:00

Savannah and Jamison are so fun to play with! Aubrey and the kids came up to my Mom's and my Mom got these new swings on the balcony and Jonny and I had so much fun swinging with them.

This next weekend I am going to Sacramento for my cousin Daniel's wedding! I get to see Megan's girls! I am so excited to spend the weekend with them!

First Day of School

2009-09-03T07:51:00.000-07:00

Everyone has been posting pictures of the 1st day of school and so I decieded to post a First Day of School Photo of Jonny cuz we dont have any kids.

Awww Isn't he so cute!

I love this man sooooo much!

Scary Movies

2009-09-01T14:05:00.000-07:00

I have decided I dont like scary movies anymore. I cant do it! Jonny and I LOVED Scary movies in High School (maybe it was just because we got to hold each other that much closer :) but maybe it's because were getting older, maybe because we dont live at home with our parents, maybe were just big babies, I dont know. Anywho, Jonny rented THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT which just happens to be based on a true story. Freakin Scary! Dont see it unless you never want to sleep happily ever again! And it doesn't help that Jonny go's to school before I leave and doesn't get home till late! I usually go home and eat lunch but not today, I am still way to freaked! I called my Mom and she excused Noah from School and I went and picked him up for lunch, it was really fun! He cracks me up, we mainly talked about scary movies but it was nice. So I started taking him back to school and I asked him what time his next class starts at and he told me "Oh it ends at 1:55" (and I look at the clock and it says 1:30) he didn't tell me he only had a 25 minute lunch break! Oh well it's not like we do this alot. But I had a great time with Noah today at lunch!

Ps Im going straight over to my Mom's tonight to do laundry! There is no way Im going home all by myself!

NO MORE SCARY MOVIES FOR ME!!!!!

Fun with Friends!

2009-08-28T15:16:00.000-07:00

Like two, three some odd weeks ago Mine and Jonny's friends came out to visit us from Reno and we had so much fun, we went to Tacano's and up to Salt Lake Temple and we went to Lagoon! We also went to this place called Trafalgas in Orem and went to the batting cages there, we had a really great time with them and they are welcome back ANYTIME!! Here are some pictures of us.

On Our way to Lagoon!!!! We were very excited!

I Love Andrews Face in this once, he is like screaming! Baw hahaha

Going on Flying Ace's a little Ride but still way fun!

This is MY FAVORITE ride! You get soaked!

Jonny didn't want to go, he didn't want to get sick, it spins you around!

And Water Squirts in your face

But Worth it!

Very fun time guys! Thanks for coming out to see us!

Fiction Books- Non-Fiction Life

2009-08-12T14:06:00.000-07:00

Fiction- I have really enjoyed reading Fiction books, well ever since I started reading which has been the past 2 years, maybe that long, I don’t know… anywho, ever since I read Twilight which was in fact the first book I have EVER read all the way through, but ever since I read Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn I have really enjoyed reading. I love reading books that have a movie coming out, but I have to read the book before I watch the movie or else I wont read the book, like Harry Potter I still cant get past the 1st chapter in the 1st book, but I love the Movies! Anyways, I read My Sister’s Keeper and then saw the movie… I cried in both but the book was better than the movie… Well ever since I saw the Movie Trailer for The Time Traveler’s Wife and saw that it is based off a book I have really wanted to read the book, which brings me to my next paragraph.

Non-Fiction- I went to the Library to barrow the book The Time Traveler’s Wife and they said they were out but they would put me on the waiting list… 27th in LINE!!! So I have been patiently waiting even though I probably wont get it for like 6 months… but having the most AMAZING husband in the world, I came home from work today to the smell of Clorox, and I saw on the table Flowers , chocolates, and the book, The Time Traveler’s Wife! I am so excited! I was really surprised to see it also, I love Jonny so much. He is always doing little things for me! I love reading my fiction books but I am so THANKFUL for my Non-Fiction AMAZING Husband!

Oh, I also cut my hair, I like it...what do you think?

New Job and a New Face

2009-08-11T07:25:00.000-07:00

So Jonny is all done with his phlebotomy class and he's been searching for a new job... right now he's working with me at EHS he's in the warehouse and I'm in the office, but it's been really nice being together, but he wants to move on to bigger and better things, and I'm very happy for him. So he made up his resume and started sending it out to people and well

Juan Carlos Martinez II doesn't really get a whole lot of responses, so he took it around to a couple of places and had 3 interviews at... I dont remember what its called but it's in Orem and well he got the Job! He is so excited and I am very happy for him too!!!

So to celebrate I decided ( us being not able to go buy ice cream or afford a movie right now) we were going to do... MUD MASKS!!!!! I know so fun right?!? So I got the mud all ready and I put it on me and then I talked him into letting me put it on him, it was really fun! So we were sitting there watching one of our favorite TV shows SCRUBS and we were trying to laugh but we couldn't because our faces were so tight and we couldn't smile it was sooooooo funny. Here are two pictures.

This one we could move our faces

But this one we could NOT move our faces!

Jonny's trying to smile, I didn't even try! HAHAHAHA

Couches!!!

2009-07-28T14:52:00.000-07:00

I know I just posted but we just got our couches in and I am

soooooooooooooooo excited! I have been waiting

sooooooooooo long for them!

We got them at sofa mart in Draper. They are super comfy. Thanks honey for letting me get them for my Birthday!

And to everyone else that pitched in for them too!

Playing Doctor

2009-07-28T08:22:00.000-07:00

So last time I posted I told you that Jonny is taking a phlebotomy class... he is doing sssssoooooooo good!!!! He came home the other night with needle marks all over his arms and hands!!! Now it's bruises but thats ok, but since they have actually started drawing blood from each other he's allowed to wear scrubs... oh man can I tell you how I feel when he puts those scrubs on?!? HE IS SOOOOO HOT! I love them! I always want him to wear them, I think it's just a man in uniform, there is nothing hotter then that. So here are some pictures of Jonny in his blue scrubs!

Doesn't he look super hot?!?

Anywho, so yesterday and tomorrow he is allowed to bring family and friends and draw there blood, so I went with him and let him practice on me... I know scary right? He did such a good job, he did both my arms and both my hands and then he did like 4 other people and he only missed the vein one time! And it was in one of my arms! Im so proud of him he is absolutely amazing! Here are some pictures of him taking my blood.

I was totally fine as long as I wasn't looking :)

Moving right along

2009-07-13T15:07:00.000-07:00

So as of July 6th, which is a Monday, Jonny has been taking a Phlebotomy class which is every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6-9. The only downer is it's in Salt Lake which is an hour AWAY!!!! So really he's gone from 4:30 till 10:00 every other night!

We also share 1 vehicle so it's kinda hard for me to go anywhere or do anything when I have no means of transportation. So my mom who owns FOUR cars! yes 4 cars and Malerie drives one of them and she can only drive one of them at a time is generously letting me barrow...

a bike.

But I am REALLY REALLY GRATEFUL for it Mom :)

So I have been riding a bike to and from work everyday since Wednesday which it's not a long time but you can be the one to tell that to my butt! Jonny is LOVING his Phlebotomy class! He's praying he can get a job here at the end of the month in a hospital or something of that sort, but that kinda makes me sad because right now we work together and I LOVE it! But I know that this will be good for him and he is super excited about it. He does get to bring volunteer's to class and he'll be drawing there blood I told him I will come in and I'm not very excited because I have very hard veins to find and last time I got my blood taken it took the lady like 5 times to find my vein. So if anyone would like to volunteer let us know.

We already have me, Noah and Hannah

but those two will probably weeny out.

We've Moved!

2009-07-08T20:02:00.000-07:00

Cali

2009-06-24T19:16:00.000-07:00

Last weekend Jonny and I went to California. It was so much fun! We flew into San Francisco which I haven't been there since I was maybe 10? But anywho Jonny's Dad and Sister Alexandra picked us up from the Airport and we went to Jonny's Grandparents house which is beautiful! Then from there we went to Haight and Ashbury just really to get a picture.

Then we went to the Japaneese Tea Gardens and they were so fun. Here are some Picture of us there.

There was this little old lady trying to cross over these rocks so Jonny and his Dad and Erik helped her cross it.

We had so much fun goofing around with everyone.

From there we went to Fisherman's Warf and ate lunch and walked around for a while. Jonny bought a SF hat and I got a super cute purse.

We played at this old school arcade and that was sweet! I didn't get any pictures though. We went back to Jonny's grandparents house and visited with his family for a bit. Then we went to Ghirardelli Square and got amazing ice cream. Later that night we went to the Golden Gate bridge it was kinda dark but I like the pictures.

On Saturday we drove up to Newcastle up by Auburn and went to my family reunion and that was a lot of fun! It was really great seeing everyone. My cousin Daniel came home from his mission from Mexico and gave his homecoming talk, basically we all sat around and swam and played cards the whole time, thats usually what we do anyways. But we had a great time with everyone and even the drive home with Aubrey and the kids wasn't too bad, we went to the hospital but thats cuz we thought I was having an allergic reaction to something, turns out the doctors in Elko are retarded.

2009-05-27T17:45:00.000-07:00

2 Weeks ago Aubrey and Josh put together a golf tournament to help raise money for the cystic Fibrosis Foundation! Jonny and I have never been golfing before except mini golf and golfing on the wii but thats about it, so we didn't know what to expect, but it was a blast! We played in teams of four and we were with Paul and Christy Marshall and they let us barrow there clubs. My favorite part was riding in the golf cart.

But Aubrey got everyone who came a shirt and on the side of it theres a jet and it says "Fighting for a cure" its way cool. There is also a walk a thon coming up next weekend in Provo if anyone wants to come let me know. It'll be fun!

Hahahaha oh man I almost forgot My mom and Step Dad and Noah and Step Brother Talon were all on a team too and my mom hit a golf ball and the ball hit Noah right is the stomach! It knocked the wind out of him and it was soooooo funny!

My Crazy Brother!

2009-05-06T08:10:00.000-07:00

So the other day I walked into my Mom's house and found this...

Hahaha I was laughing so hard!!! I starting pushing him and punching his big belly and he couldn't feel anything! Oh man it was great. My mom found it at a garage sale! He wouldn't take it off. He said it was comfy and warm! It was sooooo funny!

Then Hannah and Noah started restling and he fell on the ground and he couldn't get up. It was a great Night.

Drastic Weather!

2009-04-21T16:52:00.001-07:00

We have had some crazy weather this week! One Morning I think it was Thursday we woke up to this!

It was soooo pretty and it had completly melted by the end of the day.

Then on Friday we spur of the moment decieded to go on a little vacation with my family. We went down to the arches! It was amazing! We had soooo much fun! These are pictures at the arches, it was a 2 mile hike! I was complaning!

That was at the arches and then we went to Balanced Rock or something like that we just got out and took a picture thats all :)

We stayed in this little town called Montecello and it was pretty weird to see a Temple there!

My favorite place was Goblin Valley, that's where we went to next! Oh man I would go back it was so fun! If you have seen Galaxy Quest you know the part where Tim Allan is on that planet with the wierd aliens and they eat the one that's injured and then he fights that rock monster thing? Anywho Goblin Valley is where they filmed that scene. We went and kinda got lost and were climbing all over the rocks and Jonny went up in this cave, you cant see the picture to good but it was really fun.

That little spek on the right is me Jonny was up on top of this huge like mountain thing.

As you can tell we were very tired on the way home! It was sooooo nice to sleep in our own bed Sunday Night!

HAPPY EASTER!

2009-04-12T20:10:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter everyone! Hope everyone's was happy and safe. We kinda celebrated it both Saturday and Sunday. Friday we spent the night at my Mom's and so did my cousin Bethany, Aubrey and her kids and Stephen (Malerie's guy) and we had to "set up" the Easter Bunny coming, and when I say set up I really mean SET UP! It's actually a little crazy but a ton of fun! We start by taking a ball of string (different colors) thats oh 350-400 yards! And we put it all around the house and my Mom's house is pretty big and I mean everywhere like the front yard, the garage, backyard, bedrooms, bathrooms.... everywhere! And you are supposed to follow the string until you reach your basket. We'll we actually had to just set it up on Friday night we went to bed at like 12:30 and we were exhausted! And then we woke up at like 7:30 on Saturday and followed our strings all around the house. If was really fun for everyone! Here are some pictures of it.

Jameson and Savannah kept getting stuck in it, it was pretty funny!

I made Jonny get it outside it was way to cold!

We finally found our baskets and got to look at them Jonny got a bunch of outside stuff. Jonny got me a gift certificate to a Day Spa and I am SSSOOOOOOO Excited to use it!!!!

Hahahaha Hannah got a Ribbon Dancer but I think Malerie and I had way more fun with it!

Saturday Jonny and I took Jameson to the Bean Museum at BYU and it was a lot of fun.

The Sunday we had a big dinner and a Easter Egg Hunt. Here are some pictures of the Egg Hunt. Jonny and I didn't find any because we were the ones hiding them. But dont worry we got plenty of candy and money.

Well we had a great Easter and hope everyone else did too! Have a great early Spring!

Elko

2009-04-01T07:27:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Jonny and I went to Elko to watch Jonny's little brother Erik play baseball, Jonny's family came and we all had a great time together. It started at the baseball fields and we watched one game and Reed won but Erik didn't play at all on the first game so that kinda sucked knowing that we had just drove like 4 hours and he wasn't playing. And it was super windy and very cold too. Anywho so we went and hung out and then came back for his second game, now as most of you know, I grew up with sisters and sports were never on. Even when we would play church ball I never full understood what was happening :), oh well, so we went to Erik's second game and he got to play! He was so good! He hit like all these awesome hits! It was great! They killed Elko that game.

After the game we went to Wingers! I love Wingers! We all went and we kinda were there to celebrate Jonny's Birthday too, Wingers sang to him and he got to wear this amazing chicken hat!

It was sooo Funny! He was a very good sport!

Here is a Picture of Erik and Alex, always so much fun! And Marissa too (she wasn't feeling very good at this point, but neither was I, we were about to all drive back home) We had a blast with everyone, and on the drive back home We (especially Jonny) were already missing them! Hope they had a good time too.

My Buddy!

2009-03-02T08:06:00.000-08:00

This is Jameson Dean Moffat he was born July 11, 2007 and at 6 months old he was under 10 pounds. My sister had no idea why he wasn't gaining any weight and finally took him to primary children hospital in Salt Lake and they told her he has Cystic Fibrosis. It was very sad but we were happy to know what the problem was. When he hit 10 pounds we threw a party, we were so happy. Now he'll be 2 in July and he weighs more then his 3 1/2 year old sister! He's perfect. He is the happiest boy I know. He is always laughing or doing something to make you laugh. He loves being held and he loves to cuddle. He loves being outside and he loves playing with others. There's always something new that makes you laugh. He loves closing doors especially the fridge, if you open it he has to close it! He loves turning lights on and off. One time I caught him plugging in the Christmas lights and unplugging and doing it over and over again, I took that away pretty fast. He loves being at grandma's house and loves to play with his Aunts and Uncles. He plays very good with his Sister Savannah and he knows exactly how to get her mad. When he does his treatments for his Cystic Fibrosis he is usually very good. He does them every morning and every night. As long as you have a movie on for him he's happy. And he has his own chair he sits it when he does his treatment. Last week my mom was watching him and so Jonny and I were over Sunday Night helping her and it was time for his treatment, so we put this vest on him and it pumps air into the vest and it's his physical treatment, he does it for 30 minutes. He wouldn't let me put him down, I had to hold him the whole time, but it was a good experience for me to feel a little bit what he has to go through. Anyways, read the post below and see if you could donate even $5 it always helps. We want to keep him in our lives as long as we can.

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

2009-03-02T07:56:00.000-08:00

Cystic Fibrosis (also known as CF, mucovoidosis, or mucoviscidosis) is a hereditary disease affecting the mucus glands of the lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines, causing progressive disability due to multisystem failure.
Thick mucus production results in frequent lung infections. Diminished secretion of pancreatic enzymes is the main cause of poor growth, greasy stools, and deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins. Males can be infertile due to the condition congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. Often, symptoms of CF appear in infancy and childhood.

There is no current cure for CF, and most individuals with cystic fibrosis die young: many in their 20s and 30s from lung failure. The predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is 37 years. However, with the continuous introduction of many new treatments, the life expectancy of a person with CF is increasing to ages as high as 40 or 50.
Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common life-shortening genetic diseases. In the United States, 1 in 4,000 children is born with CF. CF is caused by a mutation in the gene.

Most of you know my Nephew has Cystic Fibrosis. Like every year Aubrey and Josh and who ever they can get involved do a walk a thon and raise money for the foundation. I have copy and pasted her letter below.

Happy Valentine's Day!

2009-02-16T07:09:00.000-08:00

Happy Late Valentine's day! Anywho, here is what we did for Valentine's Day, so on Friday at work (I work selling police earpieces for those of you who dont know) an officer came in and I was talking to him about different earpieces and then an old man walked in with some flowers and we just hired a lady upstairs and I really thought it was her husband, so I said to him "you can just go upstairs" and he looks at me funny and says "I'm looking for Whitney" and I like jumped outta my seat and was like "Oh, thats ME!!!" It was funny! But here is a picture of my flowers. They're on our table at home now.

I also got some chocolates

AND I made muffins (This picture is for Megan proving that I made Muffins) and they taste wonderful!

So ya, that was in the Morning and Jonny volunteers for Education First on Saturday's and so he was doing that for a couple of hours, he taught some Spanish people about how to become more involved with there kids in school, it was his first time and he was thrown into the class with a book and said go ahead start teaching. I though that was pretty funny. And he loved it! While he was doing that I cleaned and I mean scrubbed the whole house, swept, moped, dusted, vacuumed, scrubbed the bathroom and cleaned the bedroom. Well it's a very small house so it really only took me like and hour, hahaha but I still did it. :) We also got this tile and I took a picture of it because I love it...

I had it made for us for Valentine's Day, It's in our living room. So anywho, after Jonny's volunteer thingy he went and studied for like another 4 hours at school so i had my step dad pick me up and take me to they're house and on the way over there there's a gas station and it read this

Of course I had to take a picture of it, 1. cuz I thought it was so funny and 2. because it's true! So now it is the wallpaper on my cell phone. Later that night we were wanting to go out to dinner but everywhere was CrAzY so we went with Malerie and her boyfriend to Tsing Tao in Payson and it was a 15 minute wait but that is ok, It was yummy and we had a good time. After that we went home, and the night wasn't even over yet! But I'll end it there :)

Anywho, we are doing great and we had a great Valentine's Day and I hope everyone else did too!

I'll get back on it

2009-02-04T09:40:00.000-08:00

So everyone wants me to put a new blog up but we have just been so busy. So here is a catch up as to what is going on. Jonny started school at the beginning of January and he is ALWAYS studying, Im happy he started school but it really sucks, but ugh 10 years he'll be done. hahaha he's wanting to go to med school which is good. He is going to school full-time and working part-time at EHS with me. EHS has been doing really good. We are staying very busy even with the economy the way it is. Were just living paycheck to paycheck, trying to get school payed off. But we are very happy and still love being married. Speaking of that yesterday was our 4 months its been great. I LOVE being married. We are trying to come up with something cheap and easy to do for V-day so if you have any ideas let me hear em. My family is doing pretty good, my step dad lost his job thanks to the economy and everyone "cutting back" but he's confident that he will be able to find one. We have callings in our ward, I am a primary teacher for the 8-9 year olds, and Jonny is a Sunday School teacher for like 13-14 I think? IDK but we come home very exhausted, I have 10 kinds and he has close to 10 also. We love our apartment and we have fun trying new meals. So far they've all been pretty good. I think Im a pretty descent cook. I guess I kinda take after my mom in that way. Anywho, things are going great. Wicked is coming to Salt Lake and we are so excited to see it with Jonny's family! We talk about it all the time! Jonny and I haven't ever seen it and we are ex static! My cousin Daniel is coming home from his mission in June and we are very excited to go to California for a Loveland Reunion. My family is going and we are very excited! Thats what we are looking forward to this next season. Well thats all for now folks, I'll blog ya later!

It's Christmas Time

2008-12-05T08:39:00.000-08:00

I love seeing all the lights around Christmas Time, everything just looks happier. I think that Christmas lights are so beautiful! Last night we went on a double date with Jonny's friend Ephraim and his girlfriend. We went to Salem Pond and walked around it, It was beautiful! We haven't really taken to many pictures of us since we got married so it was nice to have some pictures of it. At first I wasn't really wanting to go cuz it was really cold but it was a lot of fun and I'm glad Jonny came up with the idea.

We're really excited for Christmas this year, for how long we've known each other we have never spent Christmas together and I am so excited to spend every Christmas with him for the rest of forever!

Thankful

2008-11-25T07:55:00.000-08:00

Because Thanksgiving is arriving I want to tell everyone the top 5 things

I am Thankful for...

1. My husband, even though we haven't been married for very long, I don't know what I would do without him. It feels like we've been married for a lot longer then almost 2 months, and I know that's nothing compared to most of you but I really am thankful for him and I love him more and more everyday and I didn't know that was possible. When I was meeting with my Bishop before I got married he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said "you think you love him now, you just wait" I'll never forget that, and I am so thankful to be married to him forever! And it's only the beginning!

2. My parents. I wouldn't be who I am without them. Even Paul, he's such a great guy and an awesome example. I am thankful for the person my parents have made me to be, and I want to be better because of them.

3. My Sisters. I love it when we are all together, and we have all these corny old jokes, and we laugh so hard I have to run to the bathroom. I love old memories and random things that make us reminisce. I am thankful for who they are and there examples to me. I want to be just like them in so many ways. I love them so much and I'm so thankful to have such a great relationship with all of them.

4. New Family. I am so thankful to be a part of your family. I love being there and getting to know you all a little better. I have such a fun time when I am with you and I am thankful that you have taken me into your life's and have always made me feel welcome.

5. My Savior. It's the perfect time of year to think of him and I cant stop. Maybe writing this will help me get some feeling out. I am so thankful for him and for his love, his example, and his atoning sacrifice. Im thankful for the gospel, for Temples, for our Prophet. I love my Savior and try more and more to be like him everyday.

So there are the top 5 things I am most thankful for.

In no particular order.

I'm thankful for all of you and your friendship,

and I hope everyone has a

Happy Thanksgiving!

Pictures from the Temple

2008-11-13T13:23:00.000-08:00

So here are just a couple of the Pictures done from the Temple, they are all so beautiful but these are my most favorites.

Our Beautiful Home!

2008-11-11T20:22:00.000-08:00

So I took some pictures of our house and here they are. It's pretty small but we love it!

This is our bedroom

This is our living room, we couldn't fit a couch through the door

but the love sac wasn't all that fun to shove in the car either.

Here is my favorite part of the house.

I love this kitchen, I love the white cupboards they're my favorite!

So here's our house! I hope you enjoyed seeing the pics of it! We have a bathroom but its too small to get a good enough picture so you might have to just come see it for yourself, but it is clean, I promise thats not the reason why I didn't take a picture of it.

Our One Month Anniversary

2008-11-03T14:04:00.000-08:00

Well I cant believe it but it's already been a month since we got married! It has also been the best month of my life! So being the person that I am I woke up and just kinda a little bit forgot it was our anniversary and started getting ready for work, while I was getting ready Jonny pops his head through the door and says happy 1 month anniversary and gives me a kiss, and so of course I say it back. And for lunch we went and got a sandwich and split it and came back to work. So I was up stairs working and for those of you who dont know Jonny and I work together he's in the warehouse and Im upstairs in the office, it's awesome! Anywho, so I was up here working and in he walks with this beautiful arrangement of flowers! I love flowers! you can have anything you want if I get flowers! Oh there so beautiful! So I posted a picture and I just wanted everyone to know that I am married to the most amazing man in the whole world and I love him more and more everyday! He's everything to me and I dont know what I would do without him!

Costums!

Salem, Utah Reception

2008-10-27T20:43:00.000-07:00

Our reception in Salem was BEAUTIFUL! I loved everything about it. My family and friends did a great job with putting it together especially my mom, she's amazing! Here are some pics of it my friend Kenny took. He did a great job.

2008-10-27T14:00:00.000-07:00

Its been a while!

2008-10-27T13:44:00.000-07:00

Well I know it's been a while but thats ok, I know everyone understands how busy everyone is. Jonny and I are doing great! On Friday we celebrated our 3 week anniversary, unfortunately it wasn't together but I'll get more to that in a minute.
Lets see well I haven't said anything about the actual wedding so let me go on about that for a minute. The weather was perfect on October 3rd. Right when we were walking back to the Temple after pictures it started just drizzling a little bit. We went out to lunch just the two of us and it was great. Then we had the reception at my mom's house and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! When I learn how to post pictures I will do that. We left for Park City that night and spent three days there and it was so nice! It was so pretty with the mountains changing colors and it rained most of the time but it was still gorgeous! We came back home and started setting up our apartment which is in Spanish Fork (again I'll post pics soon) and then the following weekend went to Reno for our reception out there. It was so nice to see everyone again and that reception was beautiful too!
Now were back home and getting more into the swing of things. I LOVE being married and I wouldn't of changed a thing about the wedding! I wanted to thank everyone for ALL that they did and the traveling that some had to go through. I love you all and wouldn't of changed anything, except my shoes! :) haha oh well!

The Proposal

2008-09-09T08:59:00.000-07:00

First and foremost it should be known that I, Jonny, was going crazy not being able to propose to Whitney sooner, (long-distance relationships are way harsh) but for the love of my life it was absolutely worth it!

On Friday August 29, 2008 Whitney was flying into Reno to spend labor day weekend with me, so I decided I needed to throw her off a little to make it as much of a surprise as possible. Whitney had to switch planes in Vegas, so when she called me I told her that I had gone out to eat with some co-workers and I was feeling sick from eating too much but it was nothing to worry about. I told her I'd be right there at security to see her off the plane.

Well, her flight was supposed to come in at 10:10pm, but of course it wouldn't even make it until nearly midnight! Nevertheless, instead of me being there I sent my sister, Alexandra, to go pick up her from the airport. Not only was Whitney disappointed at the fact that I wasn't there to meet her, but we can say that she was just as, if not more, discontent that Alexandra told her that I was at home puking my guts out due to a fake case of food poisoning. (I think it's also good for you to know that the airline had damaged both of Whitney's suitcases somewhere along the way to Reno as well, so you can imagine what a terrible night she was having).

So on the way home Alexandra had to pick up my brother, Erick, from Reed, the high school where Whitney and I met and really got to know each other. Erick was there with a single yellow rose and a poem attached to give to her. On the opposite side of the poem it read "Past." After reading the poem Alexandra then took Whitney to the Sparks Marina, a very special place to the both of us. It was there that I had one of my friends, Terry Zenz, with a single red rose and another poem attached to give to Whitney. On the opposite side of this poem it read "Present." After reading that poem Alexandra took Whitney up to the Reno, NV, Temple for the final part of my proposal to her. I stood at the front gate for what seemed like and eternity. With every car that passed by my heart would start pounding like a jackhammer! Finally that black Toyota Carola, carrying the happiness of my life, came rolling up the hill to the temple. Keep in mind that it's about 1am, so it's just us up there. I take Whitney from the car, and Alexandra takes off for home. It's just me and her now. We embrace each other with plenty of hugs and kisses and simply look into each others eyes. I then give my last rose to her, a single white rose representing my pure and eternal love for her. And of course this rose also has a poem on it that I read to her, and yes on the opposite side of the poem it says: "Future." I tell Whitney how much she means to me and how much I love her. I always imagined myself saying the perfect words right before asking her, but just looking into each others eyes said more in that moment than than a whole lifetime of words, poems or songs could ever describe. I pulled the ring out of my pock, got down on one knee (right at the front gate of the temple) and ask Whitney to marry me. Of course she says yes, in fact she specifically said, "Yes! Of course!" She pulls me up, and we share our first kiss as a newly engaged couple!

So I'm sure you can tell how much Whitney means to me. She is truly the one and only love of my life, and I truly feel more blessed to be with her than I have ever felt before! I don't know how, but everyday I fall more and more in love with her. I can only say that it's a good thing that we have an eternity to be together, because that's about how long it'll take for me to explain how crazy I am for her.

Just the beginning

So we decided to start up a blog about our lives together from the very beginning. So this first post is just going to be a little background on the two of us and then it will take off from there. I met Jonny when we were 16 and we were Juniors in High School. It was my favorite year of High School, everything was perfect! We went to football games, church activities, performances everything you can think of down to Prom. It was wonderful! Then our Senior year came and as many as you know my Dad was killed in an accident. We broke up a couple weeks after that and didn't really hang out. After a couple of months we slowly became friends again and that led to a relationship, ever since then we've been together. Even though I moved to Utah with my family after I graduated we still have been extremely close to each other. Jonny left on his Mission July 5, 2006 to the Dominican Republic West mission where He was there for 2 years. We wrote back and forth and I'm not going to lie, it was very hard but totally worth it! He had a great mission and made tons of friends that will be there for him for the rest of his life. He returned home July 10, 2008 and it was a great experience. His family let me come out to Reno when He came home and when He stepped off the plane my heart literally stood still, it was the best feeling. I'll never forget that moment when He came up to me and gave me our first hug in 2 years! It was so comforting. Our relationship since then has just gotten better and better. He's amazing and He's my best friend.
