Grateful

I'm grateful for the Church.

I'm grateful I have a testimony of what I know is true.

I'm grateful that even though others discriminate against, protest against, and argue with the Church that it will never, ever change its standards, teachings and principles.  Even if that means going against what society may say is "right".

I'm grateful I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

And I love President Boyd K. Packer and believe his words are truly inspired by our Heavenly Father.

No matter what anyone else may say.

Army News (part 2)

Did I say we were leaving Provo in April?...I meant February.

There was a mistake in the information we first received so  
we report to 

Ft. Benning, GA February 13th.

And...Want to know where our first duty station is after that?

Ft. Campbell, Kentucky!

Home of the 101st Airborne Division

This was the fourth choice on our list, but besides Washington (our first choice) we didn't have any huge connections anywhere else so we're thrilled with the duty station we've been assigned to!  Harrison has lived at Ft. Campbell twice already and he and his family loved it, and we have heard terrific things about this base.  We're so excited for our adventures to come!

I'm glad I married Mr. Smith

-He is so good lookin 

-He opens all the sticky jars

-He motivates me to be better
-He lets me sleep in and gets up with Jack in the mornings
-He watches Gilmore Girls with me

-He can do more push-ups than I can count (true story.)

-He loves and wants to serve our country

-He is hard-working

-He loves his family and my family

-He says really ridiculous things when he's sleepy

-He is the best father and husband a girl could ask for

-He eats whatever I cook without complaint

-I really, really like him 

 The fall season was when Harrison and I met/fell in love/got engaged (yes, it was that quick) 3 years ago so I always feel very sentimental this time of year. And I'm not going to apologize for the mushy post, because this is my blog and I can say whatever I want :)

Mr. & Mrs. Redfearn

I've known Alyssa for ten years and this weekend she tied the knot with Kyle - so perfect for each other! The wedding was so fun with lots of colors, yummy food, and good friends!

And this little stud was so good during the festivities

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Redfearn!!

Army News (part 1)

We just found out when our life in Provo ends.

April 17th.
We're reporting to Ft. Benning, Georgia for Harrison's Army Infantry Training.
Then August 21-October 21 he will go to Ranger School.
We're still waiting to hear where we'll be going after our 7 months of living in Georgia.
Here are our top three choices for our first duty station:
1. Ft. Lewis, Washington (close to my parents and Harrison's brother and sister-in-law)
2. Hawaii (who wouldn't want to live in Hawaii??)
3. Ft. Stewart, Georgia (Harrison went to high school there)

We're crossing our fingers for one of these three, but the Army will send us where the Army needs us.

It's good to at least know something about our soon-to-be life in the military :)
Stay tuned for part two of our Army News.

Because he is just so stinking cute.

Where A Kid Can Be A Kid

Harrison and I took Jack to Chuck E Cheese last week on H's day off. Jack definitely had mixed emotions about it...

Here he is playing Skee Ball (and cheating a little bit)

And here he is on a little ride @ CEC...doesn't he look like he's having so much fun?

(and that voice you hear when the ride stops is telling him to buckle his seat belt that he just unbuckled haha)
