Why I like to watch sad movies sometimes....

So I was out in the garage with my sweet mother-in-law picking out movies and I picked out a couple sad ones, and I have always wondered why I liked sad movies? Then Marcia said something to me that finally made me realize why I like sad movies, she said "It is because you like to feel." It hit me then, that was EXACTLY why I like sad movies! I like to be moved to tears, I like to feel love, even if its sad and someone dies. I never want to feel indifference, if there is a day when I don't feel joy or sorrow or silliness or laugh out loud, then I don't feel fulfilled, I feel incomplete, like I wasted an entire day of my life!

The first time I remember truly feeling something, thinking about someone other than myself and trying to feel what they felt, trying to imagine what they went through and what it felt like, was when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I was in primary, it was Easter Sunday and my teacher got up in front and played a song on his guitar called "Watch the Lamb" It was about Christ. And it touched my heart... I felt something so deep in my soul that I didn't want that feeling to go away, it was sadness and joy and peacefulness and love! It was gratitude and a burning desire to know my savior. I asked my teacher to make me a CD with that song on it and he brought it over to me, and I listened to it over and over again, I seriously remember this! I was unloading the dishwasher when I first put it in and I when I was done, I just sat there next to the CD player and pushed repeat. Though I haven't listened to it for years because now that I am older, it breaks my  heart. I have found that I am very sensitive to the power of music, it moves me more than anything.

I believe that experience opened the door for me to feeling everything deeply, to my core even. I am constantly crying about something whether it be a sad picture or a happy love story, or a sad movie, or even something scary! When I get scared I cry, when I am happy I cry, when I am sad I cry, when I see someone else in pain I cry for them, when I see that they are truly happy I cry for them. And it is because I feel, I feel everything around me, I feel it in the deepest parts of my soul and I want to!

Giggly Tears and Balloons!

      So one night Mitch and I were snuggling on the couch and Mitch said something (I don't even remember what it was, but I don't think it was that funny) And I got the giggles so bad! I could not stop laughing! I rolled off the couch and onto the floor. Mitchel just stared at me like (if you know my sweet Mitchel, you know that what I am about to quote, is EXACTLY what he was thinking) "What the hell is she laughing about?!" So I got up and tried to climb back onto the couch to snuggle with him, and he said "No way! You're a weirdo!" (Totally joking of course) but then my giggles turned into giggly tears! For some reason I started crying, and all the while he is still just staring at me bepuzzled like "What is this?!" He then took me in his very strong and manly arms and snuggled me for a little while and then said "Why don't you go get ready for bed and wash your lil' face Honey." And so I nodded my head and got ready for bed. When I was ready my sweet husband came into bed with me, chuckled, and said "I love you Mallie", then snuggled me some more before I fell asleep.
      What a wonderful Husband I have, how did I ever get so lucky? He loves me no matter what, even when I am a weirdo! :)
     
       Now! Balloons! :) So the first weekend of the Balloon Fiesta Mitch and I woke up bright and early to run outside, hop in our car, and chase the balloons! :) It was sooooo Fun! We drove all over Rio Rancho taking beautiful pictures of the wonderful hot air balloons! Then all of a sudden, the batteries in my camera died... which, Mitch did tell me before we left, to take extra batteries, but being the all knowing and intelligent woman I am, I had just changed them a few days earlier. He told me several times that I should bring them... I swear he always knows things... he can see right through me. But Don't tell him I said so ;) Anyhow! If I turned off my camera, there would be just enough batteries for a few more pictures, so we HAD to find the perfect balloon! Well... I saw a zebra balloon and just had to get a picture of it... but it was soooo far away! And he was turned around so I couldn't see his face! So Mitch, because he loved me, drove all the way down through the back roads of Corrales to get me a picture of the zebra balloon :) What a sweetheart, huh! I love him so much! :)

    Then the second weekend of the balloon fiesta we woke up at 4 in the morning and went down to the balloon field with Trent and saw the Dawn Patrol go up and we got to walk through all the balloons! :) It was SO FUN! AND so COLD! :) Around 8:30 we decided it was time to go, but before we went, the boys had to go to the restroom really bad. So did I but I wasn't about to go into one of those nasty portie potties, GROSS! When they came out, Mitch said, he wouldn't have let me go in there even if I had wanted to ;)  My hero, always there protecting me, even from gross and nasty public restrooms Haha. I would be so lost without him :) Then... Mitch took us to IHop for breakfast since he knows how much I love breakfast :)

And they lived Happily Ever After....

Once upon a time.... 

A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches, whatever you wish for you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true....

My dream has been, ever since I can remember, to find my prince and live happily ever after... sometimes I thought it might always only be a dream... I remember thinking to myself  "Wouldn't it be great if when I meet Mitch we fall madly in love!" Little did I think it would actually happen! These last two weeks have been the greatest of my life, being married to the man I love more than anything! 

We were married on June 25th in the Albuquerque temple, and it was amazing, the happiest day of my life! Mitch took me through the temple on the 23rd and that was the fulfillment of another life long dream, and it was the greatest experience. The sweet little ladies helping me had to keep handing me tissues. I felt the spirit more strongly than I had ever felt in my life. The temple is where you want to be! I felt so pretty in my dress, and the knowledge and understanding I received there, completed a big and very important piece of my heart. My ultimate completion was when I was sealed to my sweetheart, the man of my dreams, my eternity! I could never express the joy and happiness I had on that day... words could never tell how glorious it was to be sealed for eternity to my husband. Afterward we had a beautiful luncheon where I got to dance with my daddy (A huge dream of mine) and then dance with my amazing husband!

We went back to the temple today and my heart swelled with happiness when the man at the front desk looked at me and said "Welcome to the temple Sister Meyers." I could have cried! My cup runneth over a million times!

My little apartment is so cute too! Its all decorated and I have lots more things I want to hang and do! I am going to have a hat wall with all of my vintage hats and pictures! And I absolutely can not wait until I can have all my wedding pictures to adorn my walls! 

 Knowing that no matter what happens, Mitch is going to be there with me through every experience good and bad, waking up and seeing the man I love the most laying right there next to me, brings me more happiness than anyone could ever know.

And they lived Happily Ever After...

Two weeks to Eternity...

Its been so long since I've blogged, so much has gone on and I hardly know where to begin. Back in October I started emailing a missionary, the son of my very dear friend Marcia. To my utter most surprise, he wrote back, and kept writing back until February 2nd when he came home. We continued to facebook each other until the middle of March when I had the wonderful opportunity to be my sweet friend Emilee's Maid of Honor. She had a second reception in Albuquerque where she is from, and where my Mitch happened to live as well. So me and Mom and Paige took an early road trip. ;) We showed up at their house and were greeted with hugs and kisses and happy smiles. We went into the living room and sat down, five minutes later the boys walked down and we were introduced in person. I had to physically restrain my jaw from dropping to the floor. There he was.... the man of my dreams, the one I had been waiting for my whole life! He didn't know that of course. We ate dinner and I was cool, but he kept staring at me all night... which was totally absurd to me. I never thought in a million years this guy would give me a second glance. secretly I was as giddy as a school girl inside! When we left that night he gave me a hug goodbye. The next morning I got a text.. he asked me if he could take me out that night, I said YES! :) We went over to their house and took lots of fun pictures and then me and Mitch got in the car and went to play mini golf. While we were there, I wasn't doing so good. So he made me a deal... he said that if I made a hole in one, that he would give me my hearts desire... ha ha  yeah right, this guy had no idea what he was promising. But what the heck, there was no hurt in trying anyhow... I closed my eyes and said "I wish, I wish, I wish!" I hit the little blue ball and as the fates would have it... guess who made a hole in one? We hugged and he asked me what it was... I told him I would tell him later, it was my hearts desire after all... you don't just let anyone into your heart. We went out for ice cream then, and we talked in the car on our way to a little place where we could look over the city of Albuquerque. We sat up there on a bench and talked some more before we went home. Once we were home, we decided that I needed to come back for a little visit in April. After we left that night, I couldn't bare the thought of spending another day in my life without him... So I asked him to come to Emilee's reception with me, he said he would. :) So the next night we went! We danced and took pictures and smiled our faces off. :) When we got back to the hotel I walked him to his car and he kissed me on the cheek and I swore never to wash it again! He left then, and made me promise to tell him my hearts desire when I came back in April. Until I went back, we sent packages and letters to each other and it was fabulous :) I went back and the rest is history. I came again in May to visit again and he asked me to marry him. We went back up to the spot overlooking the city. I was sitting on his lap and amidst the talking, he pulled out the most GORGEOUS diamond ring I had ever seen in my entire life! He asked me to marry him and I was the happiest girl on earth! Two weeks later he came and took me back to ABQ to live with his family until we get married on June 25th. :) I know I could never do this story justice... I could never convey my feelings in just the right and perfect way... I love Mitch more than anything, more than air, more than my eyesight. Heavenly Father truly does watch over me... He knew my heart, he sent me the one person on earth who could heal my heart and bring me back to life. The one person who can make me smile more than anyone else, the only one who could ever own my heart and soul. My better half, My completion.

Sandy and Mallory ( Anne and Diana )

Today I want to blog about my bosom friend Sandy and I :) She blogged about us a few days ago and it meant so much to me and inspired me to write about us too! :)

There is no cute little cottage with trees and tall green grass like "Green Gables" And "Avonlea" in this story... But there are two bosom friends, Kindred spirits if you will... Sandy and Mal :)

"Marilla, do you think I shall ever have a bosom friend? ...A bosom friend--an intimate friend, you know--a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul. I've dreamed of meeting her all my life. I never really supposed I would, but so many of my loveliest dreams have come true all at once that perhaps this one will, too. Do you think it's possible?" (Anne of Green Gables) 

This is Sandy and Me! :) My sweet bosom friend, my kindred spirit, my sister from another mother! Or however you guys say that ;) The lady who shares my same heart, mind, and happy spirit! :)

 I don't believe in coincidences. I mean really... two people that have never lived in even close proximity to each other meet because of a series of very, very fortunate events, and realize they should have been sisters all along? I lived in Garland Utah for heavens sake, move to Thatcher Arizona of all places out in BFK, meet my sweet friend and kindred spirit Marcia, become like insta best friends, discover how much alike me and her daughter are, who then become bosom friends forever! Its all part of a happy happy plan! :) These things just don't happen everyday! :) 

  

One day I received a message from my Darlingest friend Marcia, telling me that I needed to add her daughter as a friend on Facebook, because we would just be the greatest of friends! I  had always thought this girl was super cute from her pictures and had joked about stealing her sweet baby ;) But she would think I was a weirdo... I mean who just adds people as friends if they don't know them right? Especially people from so far away! I lived in Arizona for heavens sake... This lady was in Colorado! Completely bizzaro if you know what I'm saying. 

But, I couldn't resist, I added her on Facebook knowing that she might think I was some creepy lady planning to abduct her only child ;) The next day I got onto my Facebook and to my utter most surprise... Sandy had written on my wall! She told me how she had wanted to add me as a friend too because her mom had shown her my list of 15 facts, and had discovered how much alike we were! :) 

Naturally I was super excited! :) We started to talk like ALL the time! We were so much alike it was crazy! It was like we owned the same thought process and could talk about anything and everything!  Then eventually we switched phone numbers and started texting and phone chatting, it was SO much fun! :) One day Sandy asked if I would be her Bosom friend like Anne and Diana... "Heck Yes!" I said "Will you be My bosom friend?" We decided that Sandy would be Anne and that I would be Diana! From Vintage bathing suites to 1920's - 60's dresses to flying up to Colorado for a visit so we could take pictures and have a blast! :) 

Then as fate would have it, My very dear and sweet BFF Emilee Payne, now Goutcher ;) Asked me to be her maid of honor and had her wedding reception in Albuquerque, where Sandy just happened to be that very same weekend visiting her sweet mom and family! :) So I got to go visit my bosom friend and her totally fantastic family that I love to pieces! And while I was at it.... meet the man of my dreams, Mitch! :) And in two weeks I am flying to Colorado to see her so we can take pictures and go shopping and play with baby Lincoln and just have so much fun! :) I can hardly wait! :) Thank you Pecan Sandy for being my Bosom friend, I shall shrivel up and die at the thought of ever living without you!


This totally reminds me of something Sandy and I would say ;) 


Anne: "Wilt thou give me a lock of thy jet-black tresses? 
Diana:  But I don't have any black dresses.
Anne: Your hair.
Diana:  All right. "

My First Date...

Okay, so I have been virtually non existent on Facebook and my blog since like a month ago! Haha Any guesses why? ;) Well one, I don't have a computer, so my phone was my Facebook access, and my phone died :(  So now I have a new phone with no internet or Facebook. I am thinking that maybe this is a good thing ;) THEN I have been entirely distracted by my handsome boyfriend Mitch :) Yes its true, my mind has been elsewhere and will continue to be elsewhere... he is a total dream now rooted in my ever present reality! :) I never knew reality could be so much better than fantasy! I have to be pinched every once in a while to remind me that this is real, My ultimate Dream come true! :) But I will write a bigger and better blog about this in the future ;)

Todays blog assignment from my bosom friend Sandy IS... My first date. :)

So I was a Sophmore in High school, just turned 16 only a few weeks before. Well there was this guy I liked a lot, he was pretty cute :) We had talked a few times, and I was pretty sure he liked me too. I cant remember how he asked me though? We doubled with our two friends :) The boys picked us up and He had flowers for me :) Then we went to play racquetball at the college. I stunk at it, like always, oh well ;) Haha Then we went back to our friends house and had tin foil dinners, its a Thatcher thing. Haha They were really good... though the whole time His friend, was texting him stupid things! Anyhow, we went inside and played games, that was fun too :) Then it was time to go, so we left and as we were walking out to the car he sheepishly took my hand and held it like you do when you are a little kid holding your mommys hand, I thought it was seriously super cute :)  He took me home and hugged me at the door and that was the end.  Well actually it wasn't the end, he became my high school boyfriend, I don't recommend those to anyone by the way. He is a great guy, but 16 is WAY too young and its a stupid thing to do girls, DONT do it! But when you are 19 (Eh hem) and you find the MAN of your dreams (Eh hem)..... Snatch him up and GO FOR IT! :) 

Because I am seriously happier now, than I can ever remember being in my entire life! :)

P.S Cross your fingers, toes, and eyes for me guys! :) Marquette has planted flowers for my future you know what! :) 

The Longer the Waiting....

Okay, So my room mate just introduced me to the best, most romantic, most poetic, most incredible song of my life! I seriously bawled when Josh started singing it! And I'm not embarrassed to say that I did, because its true!

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darlin', I promise you this
The next time I hold you I'm not letting go
Will you wait for me, darlin? I need to know

Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
It's a hard way of livin' but I know it well
And if I surrender my life to the sea
You can marry another, it's alright with me

Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
I will remember you all winter long
And when I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss, the sweeter the kiss

When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
I'll come back from wherever I've been

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darlin', I promise you this
The next time I hold you I'm not letting go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I know

Oh, the longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darlin', I promise you this
The next time I hold you I'm not letting go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know, forever, I know
