Our Sealing

On July 28, 2012 Zach and I were sealed for time and eternity in the St. George, UT Temple. THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. The day started out rough. I woke up extra early to get myself and everything else ready so that we would have plenty of time to head to the temple. Well,my shoe broke, my hair wouldnt cooperate and took twice as long as usual and many other tasks just took longer than usual. I has frazzled and stressed because I wanted this day to be so perfect. We ran out the door to head to the temple. Once we got there, we realized we didnt even know where to go inside?!. So, we went to the visitors center to ask how to get inside. They proceeded to try to get us to watch a church video. It was funny. When we finally got inside, my parents and Zach's Grandma were waiting for us at the door wondering why we were so late... Once I walked in there, all the stress just left my body. Being sealed to my husband was the most incredible experience. Our marriage has been anything but easy, but we have stuck it through. Nothing can come between our love for each other. I feel so at peace knowing that Zach and I will always be together. I am so grateful I have shared this special experience with him. Kneeling across the alter from him was the best, most comforting feeling in the world. He is my everything:) After the sealing, we took some pics outside the temple. Even though we were all roasting, they turned out so cute. I didnt think to hire a professional photographer because I am cool like that. I really wish I had though. After pics we had a luncheon and got to visit with all our friends and family. It was such an amazing day. We are so grateful to our friends and family that were able to share this special day with us.

Vegas!

We decided to plan a little getaway a few weeks ago. We both work so much and hardly ever see each other. It was so nice to have some alone time to do whatever we wanted to do. Fremont Street had a "Rock of Ages" theme going on. It was really cool. They had bands playing that sounded just like Journey, Chicago, Queen, etc. Zach was in HEAVEN! We stayed at the Golden Nugget. The pool was incredible! We didnt want to go home:( We also went to Bodies the Exhibit. It was really interesting and educational. I was a little worried I would be grossed out, but I wasnt grossed out at all. It definately makes you want to take good care of your body though!

Elder Zachary Beal

On June 30 2012, my AMAZING husband was ordained an Elder. Needless to say it was a very good day for us. I am so honored to be Zach's wife. He is such a good example to me in so many ways. Words cannot discribe how grateful I am that our future children will be able to ask their Daddy for a Priesthood blessing whenever they need.

He Did It!

This AMAZING hottie is officially a commercial rated pilot! I am so proud of him. He has worked his butt off to accomplish this. The next step is for him to become an instructor so that he can get lots of hours for free. Hopefully he can be hired on an airline by next year. We will be crossing our fingers :) I love you babe! Thanks for working so hard for our future family!


Although becoming a pilot costs more and is harder than several other careers, they dont get a formal graduation. So, we had a big dinner celebration for Zach. Several of our close friends and family came. It was so much fun!

Cody's Baptism

Last Saturday (April 7th 2012) our family all gathered in Peoriz, AZ to watch our son/brother-in law be baptized. It was such a great experience, I am so glad we were able to make it. Its a little different being at a babtizm where the new member is an adult rather than a young child. Although any baptism is special, there is something special about an adult making the choice all on their own. I am so grateful that my sister and her husband are that much closer to an eternal family. I cannot wait until the day that we go through the temple with them. It was so much fun being with all the family. We all slept in my sister's two bedroom apt. It was definately squishy, but thats the way I like it! Of course our brother, Marco (away on a mish), was in our thoughts. We all knew he would be so proud of Cody and Leni.

My Soulmate

I just have to say how much I love this man. He is everything I could ever want and need. My life wouldnt be worth living without him. The past few months have been a struggle in so many ways (to put it lightly). I am so glad that I still have him by my side through everything. I know, more than ever, that he is my soulmate. I promise to be the best wife I can possibly be. I cant wait to be sealed to him for Eternity. The day I get to go through the temple with him will be the BEST day of my life. I still wonder how I ever snagged him, but boy am I grateful I did! He is the smartest most hard working man I have ever met. He is determined to create a good life for me and our future family. There are not words that express my love and devotion to him. He is my anchor and my life. I LOVE YOU ZACH!

Catch Up

Just trying to play a little blog catch-up! Here are a few pics of things that have gone on the past few months :)


Our 3 Year Anniversary(March 29)!
I cant believe it has been 3 years already! I am so grateful to be married to someone who loves me so much! Marriage is definately alot of work, but it is so worth it! It just keeps getting better and better! For our anniversary, we went to Vegas! We went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay (AMAZING), and then the Blue Man Group (super disappointing).



Friends!!! I got to see two sets of friends that I dont get to see very often. The first pic. is with my Besties from Tooele! I love them so much. I will always cherish being friends with them. I have been friends with many of them since elementary school, and there can never be a substitute for that history! The second pic is of my friends from St. George. I couldnt find a better fit for me than Nikki and Kim!Unfortunately, they have moved away so when they come into town I make sure to see them! I sure miss them tons!



My Sis got hitched!! It was a small, beautiful, just perfect wedding. My Sis and her hubby are so cute together, he treats her like a "diamond in the rough". I couldnt be happier for them! Their height difference is super cute too ;)



My 24th Birthday! After we had a delicious dinner with Zach's family at Red Lobster, we went to "Grease" at Tuacahn with Heather & EJ Sanders. We just love hanging out with EJ & Heather, they are too dang cute! It was such a great birthday!!
