A reason to smile on a MONDAY!!!!

So I got a FAT 32 page letter from Grant today and it just made my whole week!!! He is such an amzing guy and when I am reading his letters I actually feel kinda close to him again! I love him and it is so amazing to see how he is growing as a person, he is starting to like California a little bit more, which is good he should be enjoying his missio. Is it bad that my favorite part of the letter is when he says he misses me so much, and he loves me, and that he cant wait to come home and marry me??? Well I hope not because truthfully that is my favorite part! Ok so now onto my picture story...hmmmm where should I start? Ok this is one of my favorite days and it has a long story to go along with it oh and BTW Grant LOVES the blog he even said so in my email today ok back to the story lost my train of thought. So I am a Senior Spokesmodel for Abrey Adams Photography, and this summer we had a photoshoot. So I got ready that morning and took the truck in and picked up a tote of grain for our 4-H steers and I was going to drive over and meet Grant at Wal-mart and go hang out, well the tote tips and I freak the heck out, I called him all mad and told him to hurry up and get over here and help me fix it, well he was busy, jerkwad, so I waited in the movie theatre parking lot for AN HOUR, waiting for mr. i'm so busy to show up to help me, and by this time I was half pissed off and half crying. When he did show up I refused to get out until he fixed it, he got a little grumpy, and well he kinda fixed it but it still made me nervous so we drove clear back to the other side of Burley with it and left it. So we went to Wal-mart and got lunch..yes I did say Wal-mart. Then we drove to Murtaugh to some part of the Snake River and hiked down by the water it was pretty deep but we decided to take some pictures. And then he took me back to get ready for my photoshoot. When I was done Grant drove to Declo to pick me up and we met my parents in Burley to give them the keys to take the stupid truck with the tote home. We went to his house and his family sure got a kick out of my hair and make-up. our photoshoot was themed apocolypic warrior, well Grant laughed and his dad tried to comb my hair and take all my makeup off and then Grant drove me home but boy what it an adventure that day!

My Big Fat Ankle

So a week after Grant and I went on our first date I tore all the ligaments in my ankle playing basketball. I was driving in and went up for a layup and came down on someones foot instead my ankle bone went straight to the floor.My ankle was softball size instantly, the coach had me call my dad to come get me and we headed into the ER. The doctors thought I would be going straight into surgery but turns out that it wasnt broken so they had to wait until the swelling went down to see how bad the damage was. I called and told Grant and he FREAKED out he wanted to come to the ER but i told him it wasnt that big of a deal even though it hurt so bad i didnt want him to have to come and deal with me. So the next day i was pretty much bed ridden, except it was my little brothers baptism so I hobbled around at it, not gracefully I might add. That night was a saturday night and I couldnt go to Oakley for our rival game. So i was just sitting at home playing Mario Cart on the wii with my little brothers when Grant walks in, he told me he was coming to see me but i thought he was just kidding about it. So he came and he sat down by me and looked at my ankle he thought it was cool but it hurt so bad. So he spent the night playing Mario Cart with my little brothers and help babysit me. When they all went to bed we watche We are Marshall and he cuddled up with me. When the movie was over I walked him to the door and he hugged me and kissed me being very careful not to bump my ankle, then he dropped the big L bomb, yup he told me he loved me, and me being me just stood there and then said goodnight, so to ruin the perfect love story no i did not say I love you immediately to him when he said it, but i called him like a week later in the middle of the night when i had a bad dream and i told him i loved him then, and i think thats kinda cute so. The next week Grant decided to take me to the movies and we saw How do you Know. He carried my purse for me while i hobbled around, and he picked me up and put me in the truck and i thought that was kinda cute of him. I love him so much!!!!

 Not too bad but still oww about 15 minutes after it happened

 A little bit worse

 Now it looks gross right

 With my socky

 Day 2

 my huge KANKLE

1st picture together

Grant LOVES his tractors

 BGT!!!(Big Green Tracor)

 Just another one of Grant's tractors

 Stupid short ripping tractor

 Oscar the FREAK

So after much complaining this summer Grant finally got me out on the tractor with him! It wasn't that I didnt want to go with him it was that I never had time, I was gone a week for girls camp, then another week for volleyball camp, but of course he finally got his way. We did something with beets don't ask because I dont know it seemed pointless to me to drive up and down the rows but apparently it matters so we did it. His weirdo dog rode with us and he just stares at you the WHOLE time, what a freak right? Well Grant loved it because I finally rode with him in the tractor and it made his day, then we went to the shop and we had to go change a tire on the potato pivot. So i had to go with him and ride out on this little tractor thing and I caught the bottom of my shorts and RIPPED them out seam to seam oh it was bad and I was so mad at him, not to mention that I was in thigh high irrigating boots and he wouldn't stop laughing. Then we went back to his house and jumped on the trampoline and I ripped my pants some more so now those jeans are in my collection of material to make quilts with and whatever else I feel like, so there is the story behind these pictures.

So I love Grant..A LOT!!! And FYI he reads my blog which just makes me laugh because he HATES blogs but the first picture story i have is our tractor story! So if you know Grant he is a little tractor OBSESSED almost to the point he annoys me and he loves loves loves his John Deere tractors, he put a little John Deere tractor on my key chain when he left and gave me a John Deere farmer game, and ya he likes them, and he takes too many pictures of them!!!

Oh ya know

My bows

Oh my pretty ring(someday)

my future kitchen YA

So I am a planner and when I get bored I plan things, I have my wedding all planned out and my future house, don't tell anyone but I've tried on my ring twice,(just to embarrass Grant and partly because I LOVE IT!!!) I hate couples lately, I just look at them and I'm an instant grump, I can't help but be jealous. I have kissed one boy since Grant left ya I know bad idea but ha it wasn't that great so he really has nothing to worry about. I have found something that actually keeps me busy. Hair flower things...yes I have resulted to arts and crafts but actually pretty fun...and not to mention time consuming. Luckily time is starting to go by faster which I really need.Volleyball is coming to an end which makes me really sad, but it has opened my eyes to another dream I have...brace yourself I actually want to coach one day. Yup big shocker right! I am not so good at keeping this blog thing up I am trying to be better. Two posts in one night should help though. So to all of you girls who are following me because I have a missionary boyfriend and you have one or soon to have one...be strong, I'll be the first to tell you it's not easy. Grant left August 3rd and I still cry somedays, I still miss him, I still can't go to some places, I still want to call his phone in the middle of the night(which Luke would not appreciate), I still want to tell him everything. This is by far one of the hardest things I have ever done. There is going to be a lot of people who tell you that you can't do it, you will both change so much, or that you will leave him. I can say that those are things you are in control of. You can still talk to him like he is standing right in front of you, write it on paper, Grant loves it. Sometimes they need to be treated like a human not a missionary. You can still rely on them, and they need to have you to rely on as well. Don't let others opinions change your feelings. You are strong enough to do this and it is possible. If the day comes and it doesn't work out know that Heavenly Father has a plan for you and he will help you every step of the way. Okay that was weird and random, but pretty much like all my other posts, you people have no idea what you have gotten yourselves into!
