Happiness

Yesterday I was over at my parent’s house cutting my dads hair and we started talking about happiness. My dad asked if I was happy and my reply was a huge YES! I have been so happy lately and I know that it is because of a lot of different aspects of my life, but being married has brought so much happiness and joy into my life. I never knew I could feel this way. And the blessings of being able to go to the temple and being able to become closer to our Heavenly Father and be in his home is so amazing!

Dan and I have had a great marriage so far. The first few months were nothing but bliss - I'm not going to lie, there were some little bumps as far as adjusting to being married goes after the first little bit, but we have been able to work through all that and our marriage is stronger and our love has grown so much! I never knew that I could love him more than I did on the day we got married, but I do. Our relationship and love has grown so much in the 8 months that we have been married and we are looking forward to the rest of eternity to spend together!

Now on another subject of why we are so happy - we have been so blessed with so many amazing friends in our lives and we've been lucky enough to keep a lot of them after high school and meet and make new friends and it has been so fun for us to continue to go on double dates and have get together’s with our friends and be able to share in their lives. A lot of our friends right now are pregnant and it is such a fun time of life for them adding to their families and we are so blessed to be able to share in that with them!

Dan and I have been able to do a lot of really fun things since we have been married and we have a lot of fun trips and events this year! At the beginning of this month we were able to go to Las Vegas with some of Dan's family for the weekend and had a Super Bowl party, Dan's brother Mike will be coming home from his mission in April, we will have our annual Koch family trip to St. George in May, our one year anniversary will be on June 26th, my brother Trevor will be coming home from his mission in September, and in October we are taking a trip with my family to Orlando Florida for a week (we are so excited for this and can't wait for October!)

We are so grateful as well to both of our families and all the love and support the have given to us and continue to give us. Are wedding was perfect because of all the hard work that was put in from both of our families and we love and appreciate all of you and want you to know that we couldn’t be more blessed to have you in our lives!

I know I have said the word blessed a lot but I just don’t know another word to describe it! Life is so good and I know it is because of the goodness of our Heavenly Father and we are going to strive to make him proud every day and continue to do the things that he wants us to do because when we are doing those things – that is when we are happy!

We love all of you!
