Babies

So I was looking at pictures of babies at work today since I really don't have anyting else better to do. I was looking and they were all so cute. I decided to put them up in honor of Katelyn and all the other mothers out there. I wish that every child could be cared for and loved by two wonderful parents. They are truly pure love from our Heavenly Father and someday I hope to be holding my own in my arms.

Zion Nation Park

I saw this and it basically took my breath away. Isn't that gorgeous? That is only like an hour from my doorstep.. how awesome is that?

Are YOU happy?

So today I was walking across campus on my way to work. I had just finished with choir so I was in a pretty good mood. I had a smile on my face and as I walked I noticed more and more that people around me weren't so happy. They looked stressed or disgruntled. Or even that I'm not happy to be here look. Some looked depressed just for the sake of looking depressed. What in the world is going on, I thought to myself. Why is everyone so sad? Was it because I've just been on a cloud for the past 4 months. Or was it because they just hated life? What was it? Then I thought, I wish that these people could be as happy as I feel. Why do I feel this way? Well I was thinking and I thought, ya know, Todd really helps me live the way I should. He is always reminding me of my prayers and scripture reading and good music and serving others, many many different things. Is it because of the gospel? I had just left the institute and people seemed pretty happy there. What in the world was going on? Basically, I was confused.

Then I realized that life is given to us by our wonderful Heavenly Father. He gives us all that we have. EVERYTHING! We should be happy for the things that he simply just gives to us. Such as the beauty of the earth. The friends that we have. Even if we don't have friends, we have our Heavenly Father. That is enough to be happy. I think a lot of people aren't noticing him. Why don't they notice? Is it because they don't want to? Maybe. I think about how I used to be when I was younger (Like 10-12). I was pretty happy. I knew about the gospel and for the most part, I believed in it. Then when I got older, I got into trouble. I did things I shouldn't have done and I learned that life wasn't as happy when you do stupid things like I did. Now when I look back at those times, I truly don't remember ever being happy. But in the times when I was very active in the gospel and doing what I should have been, I WAS VERY HAPPY. I can hardly contain how happy I am. I can feel the spirit and I go through out my day. It's wonderful. Heavenly Father blesses us so much. If we just keep the commandments and stay true to what we have been taught, life can be so sweet. Think about the things that make you happy. If you can't think of anything, maybe it's time to change your perspective. Look at things, other than yourself (that means you too Miranda) and see how you can help someone brighten their day and show love to those who might be in need.

Speaking of Social...

Yesturday I got my new social security card and drivers licence. I'M OFFICIALL CHRISTIE FISHER! It's awesome! I would show them to you on here... but I really don't want that information on the internet.

Social or no Social, that is the question!

School has started again. Back to the smells of new books, and optimistic teachers. Back to the new clothes and new roomates (for some), and all the socials you can handle. This year is so different from any other year. I haven't had the crisp feel of starting something new and making it worth while. I want to do my homework and just get it done with. I think it might be because of the big change that has occured in the past little while or because I'm just growing up. Either way, it's had a large effect on me. It's been good to see my old friends and to reunite after the long summer. I've missed them. Yet, at the same time I don't want to hang out with them, I don't want to be where there is so much flirting one can hardly breathe, or in the situation where numbers are being given and dates are being planned...the single social scene. None of it pertains to me anymore. I don't want to go anywhere with out Todd unless it's a class or work. Even then, I wish he were with me. We want to keep our friends, they mean a lot to us, but it's like, they have to come to us instead of us going to them. How many singles do you know that want to hang out with the local marrieds? NONE! How do I juggle this situation? I'm supposed to cleave unto my husband, and I feel like I am, but at the same time, I wish I could still keep up the friendships that I've made in the past two years.

My Bachelorette Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, let me explain, the night before I got married a few friends came and stayed at the house with me so I wouldn't go COMPLETELY crazy. Since I got married on my 19th birthday, they decided to throw a few curves into the night's events. They dropped me off at my house and took off for a few minutes. In that time I watched the first part of Princess Bride. I couldn't call Todd, because he was taking his sisters and his mom out on a date, since it was his last night to be single. When they got back they called me out to the back yard. As I was standing there they came around the corner with a cake and candles lit. They sang happy birthday to me and then I blew out the candles. As soon as I had finished blowing out my air Jaci grabbed a big chunk of the cake and smashed it into my face. We then proceded to go about having a HUGE sticky fight that was AWESOME! We had strawberry and chocolate ice cream syrup. It was very messy and a lot of fun. This was what we looked like afterwards. The little boy was just a kid who lived next door and wanted to be in the picture. Just so you know, the strawberry stained my garments and I will be forever reminded of what happened that night!

Apartment

So our apartment is basically moved into! It's super fun! I'm loving decorating and making it our home. It's great because Todd has been helping as well. We're just waiting for our wedding pictures to come back and then it will be Newlywedified! It'll be great!

Sweetness

You guys wanted a normal picture, this is our normal picture! I hope you like it because this was as normal as we got!

The Wedding Day

Todd and I got married in the St. George Temple on August 4, (my birthday) at 10:00 AM. It was so awesome! I love him... look at that hot bod!
ok so I figured this was a classy kissing picture, so don't be too grossed out!
This is us on our wedding day! What a picture perfect day! Couldn't have asked for more... seriously! People were finally excited that we got married... or is it they were excited that we finally got married... you decide!
We were dancing to our song... Everything by Lifehouse, you should look it up if you're looking for a good love song to feel good about!
There were like 10 little kids attached to my train. It was really funny but I had to walk incredibly slow.
Who got married? That's right we go married!!!!!!He is such a ladies man... sorry ladies, I got him! Isn't he handsome?
