Let's Start At The Very Beginning...

Looking Back
So, as none of you know, I actually started this blog back in 2010... almost 2 1/2 years ago.  There were many times when I though that I should finally write something and post it to Facebook (because that seems to be what young newlyweds are supposed to do these days)  but I always feel strange thinking that if I post about my life, people would want to read about it.  I decided that I really appreciate reading about friends I never get to see anymore and am hoping that someone feels the same way about my blog.  
Here we go.....

My dear husband Patrick and I met in October 2009, I instantly knew our souls had been separated for too long.  We got married on September 25, 2010 in the gorgeous Salt Lake Temple. 

The funny thing about our relationship was the timing... I was 18 and 3 months old when I met my sweet Patrick.  I never, ever wanted to be the cliche' LDS Utah girl who got married right out of high school, I actually had plans to avoid it.  I purposely did not go to BYU because everyone told me that if I went down there I would get married young.

Long story short, I met my soul mate when I was still very young and I decided that I was not going to let age be the reason I lost true love (I had to convince him that I am very mature for my age and he was able to look past the number, thank goodness!)

I told Patrick that I DID NOT want to be married when I was 18 years old.  So on my 19th birthday we became OFFICIALLY ENGAGED (we had been unofficially engaged for 5 months already)

Our wedding and reception were picture perfect and everything I could have ever wanted.  One theme of the reception was "Lovebirds" and I thought that was the perfect title for our blog.

 I know these are Doves and not Lovebirds but they matched the colors better and after the reception you can set them free and they fly back to the aviary, pretty cool.

Even though I had a plan for when I was going to get married etc. I cannot begin to express how happy I am with the timing of my life and the twists and turns it has taken.  I know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for us and I have learned to listen with my heart and go where life takes me  <3 I wouldn't trade my love for anything!
