We have been officially married for three months now and it has been amazing! We have done a lot of fun things this summer, I love everything about the summer, the warm weather, swimming, boating, four-wheeling camping, so many things I cant get enough of! We went to Lake Powell with his family for a week, one of my favorite places on earth! We had a really good time and it was good for me to spend time with his family to get to know them better. I have not had the chance to spend a lot of time with Brett's sister Christie and and her kids and this was the perfect opportunity. Christie is such a good mom she is so cute with her kids, and her kids are adorable! I feel in love with Beckham her youngest son I honestly can not get enough of him he has the cutest personality, before now I always wanted a little girl first but now I don't even care what one I have I'm excited to have both!
We also go camping a lot I love going up the canyon even if it is only for a night, it is nice to get away and just spend time together four-wheeling and enjoying the beauty of the mountains. Our friends Amber and Travis come with us a lot and its a lot of fun they are such good friends and its nice to have a couple that both of us love to be around so perfect my really good friend and Brett's and it is how we ended up getting married after all! We also go down to the lake take the boat out and let the boys fish while Amber and I lay out and go swimming as I said I LOVE SUMMER!!
Before getting married I heard so many things, the first year is the hardest because your adjusting to living together ext for me it has not been that way at all. Do you learn new things about each other absolutely but has it been hard?? Not even close it has been wonderful I love waking up with him next to me, being with coming home to him, falling asleep next to him, I love everything about married life and I think I have the best husband there is!! Im so blessed to have such an amazing man to spend the rest of my life with! I cant wait to start our family together I know that Brett is going to be such an amazing dad! We recently got called to be the Weblows leaders and he is so cute with the boys, its a fun calling. Oh on a side note Anthony my nephew got the Aronic priesthood and is talking about serving a mission, Brett Ordained him, Shane got the also got the Aronic priesthood and is so excited about it, he now gets to pass the sacrament, Tayzia called me last week to tell me she wanted to get baptized! I couldn't be happier its so true that the best way to convert our family is to live by example I am defiantly a firm believer that every person has their own time to be converted to the gospel and its our job to be a good example and share the gospel to our loved ones! It is the only way to true happiness and Im so grateful to have it in my life! I love my life im so blessed!

I'm Offically Mrs Nielson!!
Where do I begin?? Life is Wonderful I couldn't be happier than being married to my best friend who happens to be the best husband ever! Literally I don't think I could have found a more understanding, loving hardworking man, I'm so grateful to call him Mine!! So here is the beginning of a very long post I won't be offended to those who don't read the whole post!
Lets start with the engagement wow I cant believe that it has been over six months since we got engaged time flies! We went to a million different ring stores and I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere! Finally we went to Shane Company and designed my ring which I LOVE! I knew approximately when he was going to get it so I was getting so anxious I just wanted it to be official. A couple weeks went by and by that point I was getting so anxious and probably a little bratty! Anyways one weekend, December 17th we were driving down to Vernal for my nephews Shane's Baptism (Brett was baptizing him it was such an amazing experience) Brett had some of his guys on a job in Roosevelt which is on the way to vernal so Brett said he wanted to stop and see how the job was coming a long and also to see our puppy, his brother took him out there with him. So we stop Brett grabs bud and puts him in the car and says he wants to hurry and get some "ducks up", which is not weird coming from him! Anyways so we start driving around and Brett stops and I say Ill just wait in the car it was freezing outside, I don't even realize there is no pond in site! Brett comes back and tells me to hurry and come here I of course say no its cold! He insists so I finally get out of the car and walk over and out runs our puppy with a big pink bow around his neck and Brett gets down on his knee and purposes saying the most sweet things in the world ! It was perfect for me; Brett and I alone in the middle of nowhere with our puppy which I love more than anything I never thought I could love a dog or a man as much as I do them lol! Anyways it was a prefect I was so happy that we were officially engaged and I was headed to vernal so my sisters and their families were the first to see us!
The next couple months consisted of us planning our wedding and me working a million hours! I started working as a Case Manager for mentally challenged individuals and I absolutely loved what I was doing and my clients. The Case Managers before me were way behind and when I say way behind I mean over a year. So I was going crazy trying to catch everything up and plan my wedding it was a little overwhelming.I would get off work and go to Brett's just exhausted so upset because I felt like I was in an endless black hole no matter what I did or how many hours I worked I was never going to get caught up. This upset me not only because I was exhausted but because I felt that my clients needs were not being met. All I wanted was to get married.Its funny because I talked to friends and they always said that planning a wedding was so stressful, I don't know if it was because I was just so excited to get married or because my work was so stressful I didn't have time to stress over the planning aspect but I was never stressed about the planning , it all just feel into place.
March 17th the week before we got married I had the wonderful opportunity to go through the temple and receive my endowments. It was an absolutely beautiful experience and I was so grateful to be able to experience it with Brett. The feeling in the temple was so peaceful and the spirit was so strong. Sandy Laurens mom was my escort it was great to have her with me she is such a wonderful women, she has always been like a second mom to me. I was so blessed to also have some of my close friends and some of Brett's family to be there.
The week of our wedding was a little crazy, Brett's parents flew in from Singapore (where they are serving their mission) on Monday Night So we had dinner with them and all of his siblings. We were so happy that they were able to be with us for our wedding we spent the rest of the week finishing up the last minute things and spending time with family and of course working. My work was getting even more insane and overwhelming Thursday my last day of work before I was off until after our honeymoon I got a note on my desk with a list of things that had to be done before any of the case managers could leave for the day. It was a list of things from before I as ever working and it was stuff that takes several days to do and I was down to a couple hours before I was supposed to be leaving. I totally lost it I was so upset, I didn't know what to do, there was no way I could finish it all on top of everything else I was already trying to catch up. Celia one of the other case managers that started just before I did who had also been playing catch up with being pregnant with twins mind you decided it wasn't worth it to her and after us talking about it she wrote her resignation letter and walked out. Now I was dying I called Brett so upset and he told me I was done and that I needed to leave, our wedding was the most important thing and that I hadnt even had time to think about it because of my job. So I told the program director and gave her my notice and left. It was one of the hardest decisions to make, I loved my clients how could I just walk out on them, but my wedding was the most important days of my life and there was no way that I could get everything caught up, also going into a marriage without a job I felt awful. Brett assured me that we were fine on money and that we just needed to worry about our special day but still I felt awful.
March 23rd I spent the day with my sisters and mom getting our nails done and getting ready for my big day! I was so excited and it was nice to have some time with my mom and sisters. After that we had our wedding dinner which turned out very nice thanks to Bretts family! After our dinner I spent the night with my girl friends talking doing all the girls stuff! I was so blessed Becky came into town from Idaho, Natalia from New Orleans, Emilee from Florida, what great friends right!! Anyways we had a great time with the girls (Lauren, Natalia, Amber, Becky, Ang and Emilee) we stayed up late talking and had a sleepover at Laurens Parents house. I could barely sleep I was so excited!
March 24th Our wedding day was so amazing it was perfect our sealing was beautiful and we had all our close friends and family there. The spirit was so strong and I could feel my father there it was such a tender spiritual experience. The only hard thing was not having my family in our sealing with us. I was comforted and am so blessed to have such a understanding family though.The whole day was perfect I was so in love and as friends tell us we were in our own little world! I cant even explain the happiness that I felt, It was a perfect day I could not have asked for anything better! We are so grateful for our family and friends who shared our special day with us and helped make it be what it was. We love you all!!
For our honey moon we went to Puerto Vallarta it was amazing! We stayed in a time share that was beautiful it was right on the beach! The people in Mexico are so nice and welcoming, it was amazing to me that so many of them spoke English. We did a lot of fun things while we were there including, Zip line through the jungle, snorkeling, hiking to some water falls relaxing on the beach and my favorite was called Rhythms of the night it was a candle light dinner on the beach at a private island that is lite up by only candles! It was absolutely beautiful and so romantic! After they serve you dinner it was a acrobatic dance show like cirque du soleil again only candles lighting up the show, it was amazing!
When we got home it was settling in to our house and learning to live with each other! Actually it hasn't been bad at all has been a very easy transition!One of my favorite things about Brett is his Semi Pile, (Clothes that are not dirty enough to be washed but not clean enough to be hung up so they go in a pile on the floor lol! I kinda a clean freak so this always makes me laugh!
We have been married for about two and a half months and it has been the best two months of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better husband. I am so grateful for the path that the lord put me on that lead me to Brett and im so grateful to start our Journey together!

We looked at rings!!!!!!!!!!!
Im so happy I cant even express it! A lot has happened the last couple of weeks,. Brett and I were at dinner at this Chinese place when Brett starts to look at his phone and says so what date are you thinking ?? I say what are you talking about? Don't act stupid you know what I mean to get married! ME I honestly had no Idea what you were talking about I dunno what do you think?? Brett, im thinking March 6th does that work for you?? Me, I think that will work... what temple Brett asks I tell him that his sister in law told me we had to get married in Manti that all of his brother have to, he tells me that we will get married where ever his wife has always dreamed of getting married, so cute right! That night I was acting so weird it took me by surprise I mean we had talked about getting married but not dates it was such a weird but good feeling! Brett and I went camping with his family for fall break it was a lot of fun. Brett bought us a knew four-wheeler so that was fun to have our own not having to wait on other people:) So starts like this... Brett and I were snuggling before I got in my own bed to go to sleep I felt so much love for him it was insane, he says babe are you sure you want to marry me, of course I cant just answer it I say are you sure you want to marry me?!! I say yes babe I do, he says he feels the same way and has never had a relationship like ours. When do you want to do ?!! So after us talking and working it our with Becky being due on March 6Th we decided on March 24 or 30!! I then go and get in my bed to go to sleep and Brett and I are sleeping across from each other in the camper so we are looking at one another and I literally missed him even though I was less than five feet away. I wanted so bad to be in his arms sleeping, I cant wait until we are married! I have never felt this way about anyone in my life! It crazy how you think that you know what you want and you are happy but the lord has another plan for you and its better than you could have ever imagined! Be patient is my number one advice for girls! It so hard when all of your friends are married and nothing is working out I know but I PROMISE the lord has a plan for YOU and its better than you ever dreamed of! JUST WAIT, DONT SETTLE or LOOSE FAITH its worth it in the end I PROMISE!
So after our amazing weekend with his family and it being confirmed yet again that I am supposed to be with brett we went on some really fun dates during the week one being Brett bought us tickets to the Marvelous Wonderetts a play thing that was actually really fun and fun to do something else. Then on Saturday we looked at RINGS!!! It was so amazing such a crazy feeling! We are really going to be together forever! It is such a crazy feeling! Now just waiting to get it , the anticipation might kill me!

This week has been a little crazy! One of my really good friends Jessica got married and I was a brides maid and had a lot to do and try and balance school and work on top of it. But im so happy for her she has been through so much and Im glad she has found and sealed for eternity to Nate. So grateful her and Dyson have someone to take care of them. Her son Dyson is one of my favorite little guys around such a doll I love him so much and want them to be happy.
This week with all of the wedding stuff made me realize how much I love Brett and how I cant wait to be sealed for all eternity to him! He is such a amazing man an I could not think of anyone more perfect for me. There are many things I look forward to when I get married but one of them is the fact that no matter what trial I go through in my life I will have him by my side to work through them together and the Lord of course :) Also to not have to drive home at night and leave him! ah I so wish I could just snuggle him all night, I cant wait until we can stay with each other at night. I love HIM!!
Also this weekend my best friend becky was in town and her birthday was on the 15th so her husband had me help him plan a suprise birthday party. It was so good to see her and spend time with her. This is my little shout out for her. We have been friends since seventh grade and I love this girl so much. She has been a true friend I am honestly so blessed to have her in my life. I often think why I was so blessed to have so many great friends when there are many girls who struggle to find one true friend. I am so blessed and I will be eternally grateful for them, I am who I am today because of the amazing family and friends that I was blessed with.
Emilee one of my other really good friends is moving to Florida, her husband got a wondeful job oppurtunity out there. Im so happy for them but Im going to miss her so much. She is also such a wonderful friend she is one of those firends that doesnt forget anything. Every year on my dads birthday or the day he passed away she will send me flowers or just a sweet message. It means so much to me. Even though years have passed since he passed away It can still be hard on those days it great to know someone still remembers. ah I love her such a great friend. Brett and I went over to Emilees house to watch the BYU vrs UTAH game we wont talk about how the game turned out lol but it was great to spend time with them before they move.
We had one last girls night with emmers and the SC07 (squirrel crew) it was nice to have a night with just us its been forever! We went to dinner in SLC at Stone something or another I cant think of the name it was really yummy! After that we went to the Melting Pot can you say AMAZING!! It was a lot of fun im so sad she is leaving but excited to visit Florida often.
It has been a crazy but exciting week, turned in my graduation application and it was accepted, I have a recruiter from IHC looking for jobs for me with my degree, Brett and I have talked more about Marriage! So many changes and exciting things to look forward to! I Love My Life!!

Fall Begins
Well its that time of the year again, school has stared but its my LAST semester! I cant believe its almost here. I just found out that my job at the hospital they are going to lay off four people because we are dropping our contract with the LTAC (A long term acute care hospital that we go to) meaning that almost half our business will be gone. I told them that I was not planning on staying with dialysis so I didn't want to take the job for someone who was. So whats in store for me ? Again I do not know, we talked about jobs that I could do within the hospital with my degree that I would actually love but I do not want to get my hopes up so until I know for sure ill just keep doing what I am supposed to and I know that it will all work out. I'm so grateful for that to know that I have the spirit of the lord to guide me in ALL things in life as long as I stay worthy:)
Things with Brett and I are amazing! Its crazy how you don't think you couldn't love someone anymore but the more you are with them the deeper your love grows. I know that I am going to marry him crazy right??? I never thought I would get to this point with anyone but its here and I'm so grateful for that! Again I can not express how grateful I am for the Lord and the path he has put me on and the trials that I have been through so that I could be prepared to meet my prince charming. The lord always knows what is best we just have to be patient, which is sometimes the hardest part. So I'm 25 and most of my friends have been married for years and have a couple kids... I used to be so sad that I wasn't at that point, so sick of the dating scene but I wouldn't change it for the world now that I know what and who the lord was preparing me for. That is the honest truth. I have some friends specially my roommates that I cant wait for them to meet that person as well and I know that they will. They are all 25 and 26 and such great women that I know the lord is preparing someone great for them. I just hope that each of them can be patient and wait for that person and no settle for any less. I know at times that I got to the point of thinking I should just settle but I know if we are patient and stay worthy the lord will not lead us astray!
My mom just recently told me that she has Parkinson's disease and also cervical dispenia which is like Parkinson's disease. She has been having problems for the last little while and I really kept thinking it was Parkinson's but she told me it wasn't because she wasn't ready to tell anyone. When she told me this it was really hard for me to hear. She has been through so much, she spent many years of her life taking care of my dad before he past away, always taking care of us kids and never worrying about herself. It kills me that she is in California and I am not close by to help take care of her. I am so grateful that she has Kyle her husband who is wonderful and makes sure she gets what she needs. I'm truly grateful to know that families can be together forever and that one day our bodies will be whole again. I'm so grateful for my family and friends I am so blessed.

And Thats That
Well I decided that I am awful at keeping a journal and I need to be better. So here is my attempt to change that and who ever would like to follow my very exciting life can :)
Right now I'm working at the hospital I do inpatient dialysis and I finally graduate with my bachelors in science this fall with the emphasis on FINALLY!! Life has made things a little difficult for me and school like family situation etc but it is what it is and I'm almost there! Then what? I wonder that every day and at this point in not really sure. I do know that I am where I'm supposed to be and doing what the lord want and that is all that really matters to me. Although at times it is difficult to not know what is next. I live in a house with some of my really good friends which I'm so grateful for, they are the best. We recently went on a cruise to the Bahamas with a group of friends it was a blast!
I am dating the man of my dreams he is not perfect and either am I, but he is perfect for me. I have dated so many people, had my heart broken so many times and wondered why things just wouldn't work out. Now I know:) and I'm so grateful that it didn't work out with anyone else because he is so good for me. Its crazy how you go through life thinking you know what you want and yet the lord knows better. He puts people in our lives at the right time.
Each of us go through trials and we may not know why at the time but there is something that we need to learn from it. It is the attitude we have through those trials that makes the difference. Each of us will go through things it is the inevitable but we can choose to be happy push through those times and say what do I need to learn from this, or we can have a bad attitude and go through them in vain learning nothing. I have learned this over the past couple of years.
My father passed away almost four years ago, it was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to go through. Yet it was one of the most spiritual experiences that I have ever had. I knew with out a doubt that heavenly father knew who I was placing me in the right place with the right people that could help me get through it. I have never felt closer to our father in heaven than during that time. I know from experience that it is OUR decision to be happy or not. We can be happy even while going through hard trials in our life.
I love my life and im so grateful to be sourrounded by so many amazing people. I am truly blessed!
