Our Sealing Day (February 14, 2015)

I have been thinking a lot lately about my wedding day (already 6 months ago, crazy!) I have been wanting to write down my feelings for a long time so here goes nothing.

I woke up around 6:00 am and headed over to get my hair and makeup done. When I was done, I picked up Tela and drove my car down to the San Diego Temple. I didn't want to ride with Jordan so we could be excited to see each other in the temple.  When we arrived, we went into the foyer and I checked in and gave the Temple workers my bouquet, which I had picked up from Gina on my way there.  Then I saw Jordan. He looked so handsome in his new suit and all I wanted to do was hug him.  They took us back into the temple where we were formally checked in and had our names checked. After that, we went into the family waiting room where guests were starting to arrive. The Temple Matron then came and got us and took us to her office where she gave is some counsel. I cried and cried the whole time - half from being nervous and half because I couldn't believe everything I had dreamed of was finally coming true. I was marrying my eternal companion.

After this, Jordan and I headed up to change into our white clothing.  We met in the middle of the temple and then headed into the Celestial room. We waited there for almost a whole hour! Some of our guests were stuck in traffic and we couldn't start without them. We talked and laughed. I paced back and forth from being so nervous. (like what? haha.) Our Sealer then came out and introduced himself to us and also gave us some counsel and instruction. After what seemed like an eternity, he lead us into the sealing room.

As we entered the sealing room, I was overwhelmed with how many loved ones were there. There were over 50 people in the biggest sealing room the temple has. Seeing so many people I loved who had influenced my life over the past 23 years was truly overwhelming. The sealer sat Jordan and I in the front and addressed the group. Then, he called us to the alter and performed the sealing. I cant remember anything, but I can remember how I felt. I felt peace, assurance, love, truth, and eternity. We looked into the mirrors behind each other and REALLY saw eternity. After, our guests lined up and congratulated us with hugs and kisses. Jordan cried and cried and cried some more like a baby. We were both just so happy.

I am so thankful Jordan and I have an eternal family and I am so thankful for the blessings of the temple.

 We love to see the temple, we've always dreamed to go inside one day (and we did!!)

Summer is Almost Over!

Summer is almost over, although it barely felt like I had one! I have been working so much, and I love my job! I got promoted to a Legal Assistant (another way to say Paralegal) and I am so so happy!

 Got a cute new watch and I love looking at my ring! January cant come soon enough!

I received my endowments in the Newport Beach California temple on August 22, 2013 at 8pm. Best day of my life!

My babe got a new car, a Nissan Versa which he has named "Babygirl Versa-ce." What a weirdo.

On Saturday, August 30th, 2014, Jordan and I did a session in the San Diego LDS Temple after spending the night at my parents house in Oceanside. I got to see my dad who was pretty sick after his first round of chemo, but his spirits were up!

I also currently have my 100th sinus infection of this year and I am dying. Ugh :(

Best Week Ever!

Jordan and I went and saw Ellie Goulding in Pomona on Tuesday night! She is QUEEN.

 Last night Jordan and I went to a baseball game with my work and it was amazing! We had great seats, great company, and the Angels won in the 12th inning! Woohoo!!

Last Saturday night Jordan, his sister, his aunt and two cousins and I went bowling and it was fun! I havent been in so long!

We're Engaged!

 Jordan and I are engaged!! On Sunday, March 2nd 2014 (our four year anniversary) Jordan took me to CSUN in the same exact spot he asked me to be his girlfriend and asked me to be his wife! Of course I said yes!

 San Diego Temple here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also loving my job. I love going every single day! Life couldnt be better! :)

Christmas 2013!

Christmas was awesome!! I went home and saw my parents on the 22nd and spent the day with my mom while my dad and Jordan went to a Raiders/Chargers game. On the 25th, Jordan and I spent time at his house.

 This is Rascal, the cutest little reindeer I ever did see!!

Merry Christmas from Jordan and I!

Our 2nd Christmas together after 4 years.

And on the 24th, I got my hair done yay!

Updates!

 So basically everything has been going really well! Here is what has been happening...

 On December 10th I turned 23 years old! Not cool!!! Every time I think how I am 23 that Blink 182 song comes into my head....

I started working as Leasing Specialist in Fullerton, California and I love it. I even have my own desk!!

Basically I have just been really happy.

Conference Weekend in Utah!

Friday, Oct. 4th Jordan and I flew from Long Beach, California to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend the 183rd General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! We had an AMAZING time :)

 We got ice cream at Letherby's before Jordan's mission reunion in Kaysville, Utah. It was so good!

 Jordan looking cute as usual :)

 Waiting for our flight at 6am! UGH

 I got to meet up with my beautiful best friend Tela! I am so lucky to meet her in California and then be able to visit her when I go to Utah!

 Jordan wants to attend U of U for PT school, so we bought beanies in support. Plus, it was like 30 degrees outside, and we were cold.

Picture of us inside the Conference center after the Prophet, Apostles, and General Authorities exited. If you are interested in more information, visit www.mormon.org !! We had an amazing weekend!!

August 7th, 2013

Today has been especially hard. One year ago, 365 days ago, my missionary returned from his mission. I can remember that day clearly. I was at a camp for work and I was in a daze. I couldnt believe that 200 miles away my missionary was flying into John Wayne Airport where all of his family would be waiting, and I wouldnt be. (I wasnt there because I wasnt allowed, not because I was at work.) For the 2 years prior to that, I dreamed of that day forever. I literally had dreams about it. How would I feel? Would I cry? Would I get a hug? Would I run to him? I loved dreaming up the different scenarios. But at the end of the day, NONE of that would ever become a reality.

I used to think that I would never have true closure from his mission. I saw him off, but would NEVER be able to get this day back. Even a year later I feel upset that I wasnt able to be there.

Now, a whole year has gone by. Things are nowhere near what I thought they would be, and for that, I am very sad.

When do you know when to let go?

Christmas/New years!

Jordan and I got to spend our first Christmas actually "together" :) 

 We went to Jordan's cousins engagement party and danced the night away!! (Jason & Gina, Jordan & I, and Cherise & Tera Boy)

 On New Years Eve we went to Downtown Disney and ate at the Espn Zone (waited for 2 hours) and then watched the ball drop and the fireworks from Disneyland

 All dressed up and ready to go to the party!

 1/5/13 Jordan and I went to the LA Fashion District and he got a hat and a sweater and I got a watch and a flower bow...oh and this most amazing smoothie ever!!

 I love him forever and ever! Look at that smile!

 We took Chacha and Rascal to Tustin with us to visit Jordan's grandma and grandpa!

 We went out on a double date with Jordan's friends Mayra and Jesse to Korean BBQ in Anaheim where you cook the food yourself. It was pretty fun!

 On New Years Eve in front of the Lego Store

 Some of the people at the engagement party

We played family games

Overall,Christmas break has just been perfect and I never want it to end :(

Universal City Walk :)

So last night, we wanted to go to Griffith Park. But of course, we got lost and almost got t-boned on the darkest windest road of my life. Typical! So we ended up at Universal City Walk and found Minions! We love Despicable Me and especially the Minions! Here, have a laugh!!!
