It's been awhile

Oh goodness it's been over a year since I last posted. I am so sorry but I have recently started a new chapter in my life and decided it was time to start posting. I guess I'll do my typical recap of the last year. So my last post was in August of 2012 at that point I was dating Josh. In November I met all of Josh's family at a simple family reunion in N. Houston. It was so much fun, we did little art projects and did archery with the girls. The Disney movie Brave was still very popular. After his reunion we went up to Tyler to see Susie and her family for Thanksgiving and a Super Early Christmas with the kids.


 
 
In December Josh decided it was time to pop the question. It was Christmas Eve and family was there from both sides :)

 
Right away we started to plan. We set the date for June 1, 2013! It was a little stressful but we made it. In Feburary my mom's foster father passed away so Mom, Dad and I made the worlds shortest trip to Orem Utah ever!!! But in the under 24hrs we were there I got a dress!!!! P.S. I really don't do cold weather....
 
 
 
Wedding plans continued as did my semester at school. In April Heather called to inform us that her and her boyfriend at the time decided that they were going to tie the knot on May 3, 2013

 
Again not a fan of the cold weather it snowed a rediclous ammount the day before Alice, Brandon and I flew up there. We suprised Heather, Del and Lyndsey. It was so nice to be there for her.
Well Josh and I's big day was coming up. I really didn't know how it was going to go, I was pretty stressed out. By friday the whole family was together including my Aunt Diane and cousin Clay and his family. We spent friday setting up the recption. Friday evening my whole family had the plessure of meeting Aaron, Erika, and Cassidy. Yes they came!!! It was so wonderful of them to come and spend our special day with us.
 
 
Saturday morning went so fast but it was wonderful. I will post just a few of my fav photos I promise to post more on my facebook soon.

 
After we walked out of the Temple Cassidy came to say "Hi" with Erika.

 
I Love my mom and dad!!!

 
All my siblings. It was great!!

 
All of our neices and nephews that were at the Temple.

 
Kameron thought I looked like a Princess and I think my face is priceless.
 
 
After our reception Josh and I spent a few days at a lake house. It was wonderful!
 
 
Well I will plan on updaing my blog more often, hopefully once a month. Now then my Blog name is Love Never Ending. It now takes on a new meaning as Josh and I create our family I will have so many more Loves in my Life.
 
So as you saw Cassidy came to our wedding and such. It was so wonderful for them to make the effort to come and see me. I look at pictures of Cassidy and rejoice at the joy she is in everyones life, my family and her's. So some questions people have asked me lately is now that your maddied do you wish you would have kept her??? My answer is No!!!! for a few resasons. 
  1. She wasn't mine to give. Heavenly father blessed me with Cassidy in order to place her with Aaron and Erika. He had faith that I would do the right thing.
  2. Josh and I probably would have never met had I kept her. I would have been home taking care of my child and not out tryong to meet people.
I am truly blessed to know that my Heavenly Father gave me Cassidy to place with two wonderful loving people who wanted so badly to be parents. I know what a Mother's love is and I can't wait to have children with my wonderful husband, but that will wait until we're done with school.

Thats all for tonight.
