Holy Cow I have alot of catching up to do. Im going to try to cram 3 weeks into one post.
First on the 17-20 I went with the basketball team down to Anaheim for a tourney. What was supposed to be a 5 hour trip ended up taking 31 or so hours!! 10 of those hour being stuck on i-15 in Victorville in the snow! It took 10 hours to go 4 miles. We took the school vans and the boys had snowball wars between the 2. The first 3 hours was fun but after that we were ready to get off the freeway but due to the snow, trucks jackknifed and the freeway being shut down there was no where for us to go. We call around trying to get hotel rooms but everyone else had the same idea and they were all booked. Thanks to my aunts friends who was willing to take in 13 high school kind and 4 adults. We had warm beds an amazing breakfast and the boys had places to plug in their cellphones and didnt have to sleep in the vans. Ben Sharon Alice & Eddie were awesome. Thanks so much.
Than we had Christmas eve and Brandons Parents house. We had a good dinner and the kids sang jingle bells. It was way cute. We stayed at our house that night and got up and went to my parents house for breakfast.
Every year Christmas morning is a big deal at my parents house. We all look forward to it all year long. My Mom makes sausage fondue and ebelskivers ( see picture below to see what they look like) they are amazing. Thanks mom and Grandma for all the hard work to make this such a special morning.
And then on Monday was my birthday and it started out with a freezing cold shower and so I called to get my water heater fixed at 7:30am and went on with my day thinking I would get a call back. My sisters and I went to St. George shopping and I everything on my list which NEVER happens. Then we went to Brandon Basketball game because the team had another tourney and we got home at about 4:00. My sister in law and nephews came to visit me and Kenzie went into my laundry room and found it flooded!! At this point I still hadnt heard anything back on getting my water heater fixed and now it was all over the place. So I called my home warranty company back and found out that no one could come fix it until Tuesday sometime in the afternoon maybe not until 5! I wasnt to happy but we got thru it and now I got a new water heater and I get to deal with the hassle of getting my laundry floor and walls repaired. Happy Birthday to me!!
Last Tuesday I was sitting at work when these flowers were delivered! This time of year my office gets all kinds of goodies from other offices so I just thought thats was what it was until the guy asked if a Lacey Jones was there. I immediately turned my head and said that was me! Who would be sending me flowers I asked myself. I opened the card and it said "I'm starting a tradition of giving you something after each sport I coach. It may not always be flowers, but this time it is. I don't know what I would do without you. I love you!" I started crying! It came at just the right time when I need something. This is so unlike Brandon. He always makes sure I know how much he loves me but this time he went the extra mile. Now I get 3 extra surprises a year. I love Brandon so dang much!! Thanks hb!!!!!!!
4 years ago today Brandon took me up to Bootleg Canyon in Boulder City at a look out point looking out onto the Vegas Valley, had a little picnic and all my favorite foods, (crazy bread, Fuze banana colada and Chocolate covered strawberries), and made me the happiest person in the world by asking me to be his wife!!! He did such an amazing job keeping it a secret from me. I knew he was going to propose but I didnt know when. I thought he was going to wait until Christmas because I didnt want that. Im so lucky to have Brandon in my life and as my best friend forever and ever. I love him so dang much. HB, thanks so much for all you do for me. You have no idea how many times I thank heavenly father for sending you to me! I know I have been crazy these last few months and thanks for being there for me, for holding me when I cry and making me laugh when I need it. I cant wait to get home and spend time with you everyday. You make me want to be a better person and be the best I can. I LOVE YOU SO DANG MUCH!!!! please dont ever forget that! Love your HB!!!!
