ENGAGED!


So much has happened I can't even explain it all. I hope that I can remember all the hairy details because I am so excited and so very happy!  I will start with Saturday...I met Kade in Idaho falls and he took me to his house so that we could start our date.  He gave me some beautiful roses, that were the perfect shade of pink So bright and beautiful.


Mr. Kade and I arrived at his parents’ house and were greeted by his sister Steph and her two kids Morgan and Mitch.  They are such dolls, we just kind of waited around not doing much I think he was trying to make me impatient.   Of course it worked...you see I knew that he was planning on proposing soon and I was hoping that it would be that day, but I didn't know for sure.  The most frustrating part about everything was that he wouldn’t tell me what he had planned for the date...I was clueless.


So after we chilled at his house for a while he told me we were going to get in his truck and go for an adventure...now his four-wheeler was in the back of his pickup bed so I knew exactly where we were going.


Now if you don't remember our first date was a four-wheeling trip and we went on a double date.  The other couple kept stopping and kissing, and it was awkward because me and Kade hardly knew each other.  But we had fun and we laughed and smiled the whole time and I have never had so much fun in my life.  On the way back off the mountain we passed a little, old, abandoned cabin and there wasn't much left of it. 
As we drove by it I had an idea to have some fun I thought we would play make believe.  I said look honey it’s our house.  I knew Kade was some kind of special when he looked at me and said yes it is...but it needs a little more work before we can move in.  He made me feel all giddy and like a little girl on our first date and it had been so long since I felt that way.


During our whole 2 months of dating Kade continued to talk about our cabin, it’s even mentioned in our love story.  Anyways as we started driving I knew exactly where he was going to propose...if he was even going to. :D  So I asked him if we were going to visit our cabin and he smiled n said I would have to wait and see.


SO we went on a four-wheeler ride, and it felt like forever.  He kept stopping different places, and I thought every time we stopped that he was going to pop the question but every time he just got back on and kept driving. 




We finally made it to our destination and he hadn’t said anything.  We stopped at our cabin and ate some goodies!  We then set up our cameras and took some pictures of us with our cabin it was so cute.







After we took pictures we were walking around the cabin and Kade was behind me and I stopped walking to look at something.  Anyways Kade said "Steph I need to ask you a question." and instead of me stopping and letting him I started walking away.  He yelled common now don't make this awkward! HAHAHA.  Anyways I turned around and he was on one knee and I walked up to him.  He said "Stephanie Kunz, will you marry me?"  I of course said yes without hesitation.  He then opened the ring box and told me I couldn’t be mad at him because the ring I had picked out wasn't done at the jeweler.  He then slipped a little ring on my finger. :D










So there is my fake ring.  We left the mountain and told our families by the end of the day we were pooped!  We were so tired that Kade made us mac and cheese with a candle lit dinner. :D
 I am so happy to have Mr. Kade in my life.  We will be married on the 20th of November!  I am preparing to go to the temple for the first time and I am so excited!  He is the love of my life and perfect and wonderful and I am so lucky!


Here is the real one!

School, Work, Kade


So yesterday was my last day of school for the week!  Some how i made it through my first week of craziness.  Tuesday I went to my first day of Chemistry and I am excited, but afraid at the same time.  I never know what to expect with science classes.  My teacher is very talkative, and likes to explain things to the extreme. But i sat next to this girl named Amanda she is from Rexburg, i can tell we are going to be friends. :D


Wednesday i got to experience my anatomy and physiology class.  It is probably one of the largest classes i have been in in EITC.  There was about 40 people, and then we have Rexburg students through the video feed as well.  I don't really like having the Rexburg students because you can hear them, and the video feed gets pretty loud sometimes.  They chatter and it totally distracts the entire class.  This will probably be the most challenging class i will have.  I hope that i will be able to work hard and pull through.  I hope to learn a lot from my teacher.  It is a long class though, we go for about 3 hours in lecture and turn around and do a lab right after, its crazy.
Yesterday was Thursday and it started off with me working early at the willows again.  One kid that was supposed to be on shift with us didn't show up so pretty much i skipped training and went strait to working.  It was crazy busy i felt like a chicken with my head chopped off.  After that i went to big dog for 3 hours and then i got to go back to school  I went to Chemistry lab...my teacher talked a lot about safety and all the crazy things that have happened to him.  I think he has been lit on fire many times in lab, he is just trying to give us worst case scenarios.  It was a short class last night and we didn't even end up doing anything but listening to the teacher talk about safety.  IT WAS SWEET!  and we got out early, wahoo. 


So every night this week i saw Kade although i was really busy and had work early in the mornings and got out of school late at night.  I still made time for my honey.  Later on it might be more difficult because i will have homework, but for now i am all good and soakin up the lovin.




Saturday is fast approaching and i am hoping to get the beautiful ring i picked out.


Sad but it wont be a surprise when he asks me because he made me choose a ring.


I am truly blessed the lord really looks after me and is always trying to help.  He has dropped so many blessings into my lap.  I am now able to work two jobs and go to school, and it should all work out. I am also dating a wonderful man that i love...i am so blessed.  I love my life.  Hope everyone's day is as wonderful as mine :)

something old something new wearing blue


So today is going to be crazy!  School is starting again and my life just went to really relaxed and boring to really busy.  My first day at the Willows was today, its an assisted living facility.  I really like it so far, but it may burn me out, only time will tell.  It was a bad morning at first i completely slept in and was late for work.  Luckily the girl training me was also late so she didn't notice :D.  The day went on and it was great getting to know all the residents, i feel so close to them already.  The staff warned me not to get attached to them, but i don't think that is possible at all.  I have a feeling i will enjoy this work of helping out others.  My old job at big dog is still my full time place, and well it rocks that my boss is willing to work with me so that i can have two jobs during school.  So i am only doing 8 credits this semester, chemistry and anatomy and physiology...both will kick my butt for sure.  I hope i have time for my wonderful boyfriend amide this mess of a schedule. 




So last night Kade helped me pack a lot of my stuff so i could move out.  You should see Kamille and Suzie's apt.  its a complete mess thanks to my boxes and boxes of crap.  After me and Kade spent 3 hours of packing everything was done except my cloths and my dishes and my bathroom stuff.  So i got the living room, most the kitchen and most of my bedroom finished.  So much stuff i have.  Anyways it was a fun night and Kade and i bonded of course every minute i spend with him i realize how much i love him and how amazing of a person he is.  He helped me pack and never complained at how slow i was or how much junk i have.  He is a great man.  After we were done we sat down and Suzie and one of her guy friends came over with some beer and tacos. 


Of course Kade I didn't drink anything but Suzie was trying to teach her friend all about dos and don'ts at parties. Anyways Suzie hit the top of his beer bottle with the bottom of hers and he watched it bubble and spill all over the floor...he was so dumbfounded that he didn't even try to prevent it from going all over the place LOL.  Anyways later on they were trying to open a beer bottle and we didn't have a bottle opener and so Suzie's friend ended up cutting his finger in attempt to open it.  To everyone's amazement Kade took off his shoe and handed it to Suzie.  On the bottom of his shoe he had a bottle opener.  i couldn't believe my eyes...it was so funny.  Kade was like, "i never thought it would have a chance to use that."  LOL  anyways it was probably funnier if u were actually there but it made me laugh super hard.  I mean Kade is this perfect innocent RM and he had a bottle opener on the bottom of his flip-flop




SO anyways I am happy, lucky girl, who has an amazing boyfriend that i love.  He so dropped the hint that he is going to propose on Saturday, but i think he is setting me up.  Because its too obvious and he isn't that kind of guy.  So who knows i will keep you posted.  I hope school goes well tonight I'm always nervous at a new semester.  :D  I am now asophomore in college!!!! YES

lifes adventure


So this last week has been so super crazy!  I feel like I'm oh so busy and it is about to get worse.  I was excited about a new job, but now i am so nervous.  I just hope everything works out for the best.  I hope my old boss will work around my school and work schedule, so that i can save as much money as possible.  Because i am oh so soon going to embark on a new life!

Tomorrow is going to be 
super busy, i will train for my new job from 6am to 1pm, and then probably go to work at big dog for a couple hours before heading of to night school at 7 to 10!  CRAZY CRAZY!

Now a look at the past.  On Saturday i woke up around noon and i met with Kylie, Maddie, and Alex to go 
swimming.  I haven't gotten in a pool for a long time.  We went down to Pokie to swim at Ross Park.  Basically we ended up floating on the water for 4 hours and working on our SWEET tan!  I had some fun flirting with 15 year old boys with rock hard abs and brown tans.  It was entertaining giving the boys the kind of attention they haven't had yet in their lives.  Anyways we ended up going to eat after swimming and i went home to get ready for the night ahead.


On Saturday night i started off going to Sierra Wray Battens 
wedding reception.  She looked so beautiful, and i am jealous that she is now married and starting off her new life with her hubby.  My time will come i know :D,  after the reception i made my way up to Idaho falls, but i was stopped by a cop.  He pulled me over for not blinking at a stop sign, he was a very nice man who just reminded me to be careful and to put on my seat belt.  That is the first time i have been pulled over without getting a ticket.  anyways i ended up being late to a bachelorett party we had for Julie Christiansen.  I missed the dinner they had, but i heard it was a blast.  We ended up going to the mall while it was closing and do some photo-booth pictures.  It was so funny, and then we headed to Julies house to see her put on her wedding dress.  She looked so beautiful and yet again for the second time that night i was jealous that someone else was getting hitched.  i know, i know my time will come :D

After seeing Julie in her gown i headed up to meet my boyfriend Mr. Kade.  We ended up talking quite a bit and i feel much closer with him.  We ended up laying on a blanket in the grass and looking at the stars.  He shared with me lots of stories from his life and we seemed to 
talk the night away.  Its amazing how fast time goes when your enjoying yourself.  We then read our scriptures, prayed, and went our separate ways.  For we knew we would see each other in the morning.





On Sunday morning i drove to Idaho Falls to meet with Mr. Kade.  He had a talk in his singles ward and i wanted to hear him, but i also needed to get home to my ward to meet with my branch president.  So we met in Idaho Falls and Kade drove me to his ward in Hammer, and i 
enjoyed every minute of his talk.  He has such a different kind of humor.  I laughed to myself the entire time...he even embarrassed me a couple different times. But he is so fun to listen to, he makes his jokes but he can also pull you in for a more spiritual moment.  I am so excited to have someone so strong and faithful in the church become mine. 

I was having lots of 
spiritual moments on Sunday, and Kade and I had some great discussions.  I had, had a dream the night before of me and Kade getting married in the Idaho Falls temple and my whole family was there.  I was so happy and everything was wonderful and perfect in the dream.  The temple was perfect and beautiful and when i woke up i knew that this dream was reachable and that soon i would be able to fulfill it.  And just being around Kade i feel the spirit so strongly, in a way i haven't felt it in a long time.

After Kade's talk we drove down to Blackfoot and we went to the remaining two meetings in my branch.  After church i went and spoke with president Leavitt for the second week in a row we were trying to get things straightened up so that i would be able to go to the temple sometime soon.  By the end of the interview i was really 
discouraged and upset by the things he had told me.  He said that i would probably have to wait a while to get married in the temple. I was upset by the news and he said he would talk to the stake president, and pray about me to see when he felt i would be able to go through the temple.  I left upset not thinking that he was really going to do what he said.

I went home to my parents house with Kade, he was trying to make me feel better even though it wasn't working.  My whole family ended up coming over and me and Kade and my nieces made peanut butter cookies.  I had so much fun, then me and Kade took a 
nap and when we woke up it was 9 at night.  The whole day had just flown by.  I was still upset about earlier that day and to get my mind off of it me and Kade went down stairs to watch a movie with my dad and brother Ean.



While watching the movie Maverick my branch president called to talk to me.  He told me he had been thinking about me all day and that he had me in his prayers and had talk to the stake president.  He informed me that i would be able to go through the temple as soon as
 November!  I was so excited that's only a little ways away.  I ran and told Kade as soon as i got off the phone.  The grin that spread across his face was the most amazing thing i have ever seen.  I love that boy so much.  He then informed me that he would be talking to my dad soon, so that we could get engaged and get the wedding plans underway!  WAHOO so excited i am.

After the good news i had my father give me a fathers 
blessing because i am starting school.  He blessed me with some wonderful things, like being able to have the strength to get away from those people who are out there to hurt me and use and abuse me.  Kade was there for the blessing and after words i went to write down some things in my journal.  When i was done, my dad and Kade were in the living room talking.  I am not sure what its about, but i am pretty sure i will be getting a ring sometime soon.  I am so happy and i am so blessed.  The Lord has made it so everything is working out.  This is another reason  i know me and Kade are meant for each other, everything is falling into place perfectly.  Its amazing how much the Lord will help you if you allow him to do so, he just wants to see his children happy.

This week will be a busy one, i have to move out of my Shelley apartment before the end of the week, and i don't know where i am going to fit that in, but i hope it works out.  I am so 
happy and grateful for Kade ilove him so very much!  I cant wait to be his for time and all eternity

Picking out a Ring

YEAH!  This might have been the most awkward date in history.  Kade took me to some jewelers and the spotlight was all on me.  I had to sit and try on jewelry.  Okay, it was fun, but I didn't know what to pick.  I didn't want to break the bank, but he wanted me to get what I wanted.  So, I chose a pretty big rock, but not one as big as I would really want.  I mean, I want a rock that will sink me if I swim, HAHA.

Anyway this is what it looks like.


Mine is white gold, but you can see it better in the gold I think.  You can find it in his collection, so maybe someone else will have a ring like mine, but I can always dream of it being 1 of a kind.

I picked it at Farrs Jewelers, and they said it is a one of a kind ring.  John Bagley is the designer and they said no one else will have this ring by him...IDK how true that is but it is cool.  My favorite feature is that it is flat on the bottom so it wont roll on me.  Oh, it is super pretty too!  It is the clearest diamond you can find, and it is a 3/4 carat, so an okay size. :D

New Job, Old Bills, More Help


The last little while I have been trying to decide if i want to go to college this semester. Between moving home and having medical bills due to AmaZing decisions on my part, i didn't know if i would be able to handle the extra stress.  So an amazing councilor at EITC knew of some money i could use for school.  She helped me apply and i got my tuition and books paid for this semester.  So on Tuesday i start a new and wonderful adventure of school!  So i am so grateful for a lady who took time out of her schedule to help me get money for school.


Yesterday, I had an interview with a nursing home.  To help me get into the LPN program at EITC i need to have some experience in the medical field.  So, i applied and two weeks later and to my surprise i got a call.  I went in for an interview wearing a very cute outfit.  And about a half hour after i left they called me back in to fill out paper work.  They gave me a part-time job, and i am very scared to start.  I am hoping i will be able to juggle my part-time and full-time job along with school.  And i hope that my bosses are understanding.  I was so excited yesterday.

Right before the interview

And just when it seemed like everything was falling into place, i got a bunch of bills in the mail, and i realized that it was an amazing thing that i got college paid for because i wouldn't be able to handle all of the bills.  So here i am thinking I'm about to get ahead but now i am actually behind.  LOL funny how life works.  But i am so grateful for all the little miracles God has shown me this week.  For the financial help, for my new job, and for my amazing boyfriend that gives me something to live for.

Dinner Date


My week has been a rather dull one; I pretty much do the same thing every day.  I go to work in the morning and after I wait for my man to get off work, and then i chill with him.  Of course it’s not dull at all with Mr. Kade around.  He sure knows how to make anything boring and simple really, really interesting. On Monday we ended up going to watch the movie wolverine and it was just a plain old date, but being with Kade always makes it fun and exciting.  Anyways I didn’t end up getting home till like 3 which is later than normal, but I love spending every moment possible with him.

I found out I was in the running for some college money, and so today I am going to meet with someone about it.  Hopefully I can get a little aid in college this semester.  If not I don’t know if I will want to even start school.  Then I got a call and I was super excited to find out I have a job interview at a nursing home.  Hopefully I can get a CNA job, that way I will be a better candidate for my Nursing program that I will be applying for soon.  Anyways after work I went and chilled at Annie's apartment, she fed me dinner and I watched TV with her and her HUBBY.  I was there waiting for Mr. Kade to give me a holla.  Anyways he did about 7:50 and I went to meet him.



We got to his house and he told me that we were going to make dinner for his parents.  This totally freaked me out because I am not the best cook, I mean I can follow some directions, but I totally thought I was going to screw something up.  I didn’t want to burn the house down, or have a major cooking accident.  We did end up making pea soup and it was a blast.  Kade acts like he is a little kid, everything is so new and exciting for him.  He has to touch everything, and help with everything.  It totally makes me smile.  And of course where there is flour there is trouble.  I think there ended up being more flour on my face than anywhere else.  I too had my revenge!  No one throws flour in my face and gets away with it!  So Mr. Kade, his dad, and I ate dinner.  Mr. Kade’s mom was working late.  She works at the school and school started today so she was there till 11 getting everything ready.  So me and Mr. Kade decided we would stop by and say hi to her while she was working, and we took her a little treat.  Once we were there she put us to work, delivering stuff, moving things around, and fun fun cleaning.  But I am sure we helped her speed things up quite a bit.  After Mr. Kade took me to my car and I began my long journey home! :D

Every day is an adventure!  I’m so happy to have Mr. Kade in my life.

Terreton Tales


Last night was a very interesting experience.  You see I'm the kind of girl that likes everyone to be happy and content in a room, even if that means i cant be happy.  But last night i went to my darling boys house and well it was awkward.  His parents don't like me anymore because i dated their youngest son before Kade. 
But anyways we sat and watched Get Smart, and it was really weird the whole time.  Kade's mom acted as if there was a vermin in her house and she was going to exterminate it.  Of course Kade thought things were all fine and dandy, because he didn't see his mother giving me the stink eye.  Anyways as soon as the movie was over, Kade's parents stood up, looked at me and said. "wow Blackfoot is a long drive from here, you must be tired.  Have a good drive, good night."  And with that Mr. Kade and I went outside to sit on the porch to talk, because i didn't want the birds listening in.  But to myhorror five minutes later Kade's dad pokes his head outside and invites us to have prayer with them.  Thinking that they are just trying to be nice, i walked in, Kade prayed, and we walked right back outside.  But thanks to Idaho weather it was cold so we ended up going and sitting in on the couch.  A few minutes later Kade's mother walks in and said its almost midnight, you probably need to let Stephanie get going.  Okay i thought, i get the bloody hit.  its only been 3 times now that they have tried to get me to leave.  So anyways Kade told her to give us one more minute.  I don't think she even gave us that much time before both her and her husband came trampling in the room.  They sat down watching us like we needed a chaperons, and Kade's dad started talking about how it was really late and that me and Kade need to help each other out by going to bed.  He said, Kade needs to get feeling better, and needs to find a job, and needs to get into school and anyways they made it really clear that they thought i was the reason he was sick, with no job, and not in school.  So during there lecture i stood up, walked outside, drove off.  i then texted Kade and told him i wasn't ever comin back to hang out there again.  HEHE i love the drama.  So first off Kade told me we didn't have to hang out at his house because his parents have been funny ever since Kevin told them that we once dated.  So Kade made me stay there, so i blamed most of it on him.  Of course it was getting late, but it was only midnight, and it wasn't like Kade needed to drive home, just me. 








Stupid drama I know, you would think we are sixteen with a midnight curfew, even BYU gives you till 1 on some nights.  



I decided I am no longer just going to blog for certian events, but my thoughts and journal and stuff I feel like sharing.  


I don't understand why they have to treat me unkindly .   I want nothing to do with ppl who make me feel bad for being the way i am, because i am who i am, and there is no one like me, and God loves me so they should too.

Weak Weekend


Saturday night I ended up hanging out with Kade, we went to a Wayne Wilding's reception number 2.  We didn't end up staying long or even helping to decorate his car.  Kade and I made our way out to his sister Shyla's and hung out with his nieces and nephew.  We watched a movie and one of Kade's nieces Lilly fell asleep, and I got to hold her while she was sleeping.  She was so cute and perfect, and that was probably my favorite part of the day, even better than kissing my handsome boyfriend.  I don't know what it was but I felt like I was holding a little piece of heaven and I was grateful to be holding one of God's angels.  I am excited for someday when I will have my own little ones, but that won’t be anytime soon :) 


Wayne and Cilia 


After we spent the whole time at Shyla's, Kade took me back to my car.  We stayed and talked a while, and we read our scriptures together.  It was wonderful, every moment we spend together I fall more and more in love with Mr. Kade.  He is truly a perfect person.  I have never met anyone else like him, he is so Christ like.  We them parted our separate ways and I got home and later he told me he had car problems and his car just died while he was driving home.  Anyways it was around 2:30 in the morning and someone stopped and gave him a jump.  I am so grateful for the kind things people are willing to do, especially the simple things.  I felt bad because Kade had to give a talk at 9 the next morning and I had kept him up all night, when he got home he was sick all night.  Poor guy, but he still went to church the next day and gave his talk.  He totally inspires me to be a better person, his example is amazing.  



So because Kade was being sick I had to spend all Sunday without him, my day off I didn't get to see him!  I went to church and caught up with some old friends, and had a nice chat with my new branch president.  My records were read into the ward yesterday so we got to know each other a little better.  But because I didn't get to hang with my boy I got to catch up on my sleep, and we ended up talking on the phone for like 5 hours.  My little sister had some friends over to play rock band with my other siblings, and I just sat on the couch and talked, and ate camel corn...it was very relaxing and a nice day to just catch up.

 So my weekend was very boring.  I did have an interesting dream last night though, and because it’s interesting I'm going to put it here and anyways it was short but sweet.  So I dreamed that I went to church and Troy was home, and I ran into him at his parents ward.  Troy had hurt his shoulder really bad so he got sent home from Iraq.  all of his family was there and his older sister wouldn't let me go talk to him.  so I waited in the hall and he went to the bathroom and I threw him up against the wall.  and was like hey you promised me you would talk to me when you came home so we could go on a date.  Then Troy went off on a tangent saying that he knew I had Kade and that I didn't want him.  N then I told him how much I loved him :D  Anyways I ended up leaving Kade for Troy and we moved into a log cabin in the woods.  And we were very happy!  IDK it was crazy,  GOOD thing it won’t happen.  oh well its funny what stories your brain makes up. Oh and welcome home to John Young...I'm so happy that you are safe!

So that was my boring weekend, so dumb.  But anyways if anyone is reading this then I'm sorry I'm not a great story teller! :D  The end.

Girl Time

It has been forever since I have chilled with just girls, mostly because I don't really get along to well with them.  I am normally okay hanging out with one girl, but I spent an entire night with two wonderful girls and I loved it.  I did miss Kade because yet again he decided not to come see me.  It’s hard because I do everything in my power to go and see him, and when it’s his turn he doesn't seem to do the same.  I understand of course, it’s mostly his mommy and daddy that don't want him to leave.   Anyways the girls and I sat in the hot tub for a while, we just talked, and bonded.  I learned a lot about both of them.  Although you wouldn't realize from the outside what kind of lives they have led, they both have had really really hard times.  I am not sure I would be able to handle what has been dished out to them.  I have really hard days, but it’s true, God gives you specific trials for your specific needs.  Anyways, we talked about everything, mostly boys, and I don't ever have much to say on the matter.  I mean I only have one boy, and pretty much the only drama in my life with that boy is his parents.   I am content seeing the same boy every day.  


So after we soaked, we put on our comfy sweats and watched the movie Coraline.  It’s really cute, I love it, although I did fall asleep halfway through. :D  I truly love my friends and I am so very lucky for my Suzi and my Kylie.  Anyways here I am on a Saturday at work, it’s lovely, I am almost done.  I will go see my nieces and nephew and I will then head off to Terreton, I hope that my night is as lovely as the day.  I am so sick of things going wrong.  Have a great weekend.

Suzie and Me

Ky and Me

Friends Come and Go, but You are Like my Sister, Forever in my Heart!

For some strange reason i just wanna write blogs lately i dunno what has gotten into me.  I have found out some information that my dear friend is leaving me again, back to Cali. It’s hard for me to sit back and watch her do what she wants, but at the same time it is her life and she must make her own decisions.  I have just been sad a lot lately, everything is changing again.  Once i get over one hill there is a bigger mountain waiting for me to climb.




I just wish things would stay as they are with my friends.  I feel like when Suzi leaves things will fall apart again.  I don't have a lot of friends and I wish I could keep all the ones I have right next to me. I wish she could find the happiness I have found.  Good luck to you babe, be smart, live the gospel, and you will find your way home.  On another note I still can't get over breaking up with Troy, I think he will hate me forever.  I wish I could make everyone happy.  Long distance relationships are not easy to control, and I just couldn't keep dating him, knowing that it wasn't going to work out. I mostly feel bad because I stopped dating him and got serious with Kade really fast afterword, but when you know you know.  I love you Mr. Kade, thanks for taking me as I am.   i love when I'm at work and the phones are down and i get to sit and do nothing and get paid!!!! LOVE MY JOB, when i don't have to work :D

you see it all began on a mountain far far away!
We were both young and our eyes met and we knew it would be a happily ever after.
but it wasn't to be so at the time because we were afraid to let the other know of our love.
but it wasn't the end, for the fairytale must go on, they met again many moons later.
you see there was a certain peasant called W3 aka Wayne
Wayne also thought this princess was beautiful, so he asked her on a date and brought MR. Kade along with him, not knowing of Mr. Kade's previous feelings for Princess Stephie.
W3 was distraught to find that the feelings between Mr. Kade and Princess Stephie were kindled by just them being together.
But yet again their love was not meant to be at this point in time. For Mr. Kade needed to go far away to fight vampires in Transylvania aka Philly.
You see this beautiful Princess Stephie was waiting fro her true loves first kiss.
but was looking in all the wrong places. She eve tried to find love with Mr. Kade's younger brother Kevo, but that for sure was a DEAD END!
the time came that Kevo had to leave on his own adventure to go find Mickey Mouse, in Cali
The time also came for Mr. Kade to rest his cross bow and to come home from Transylvania.
He like unto Stephie looked in all the wrong places to find his true loves first kiss. But destiny had a roll to play.
To be continued...HAHA JK the love story must go on!
Mr. Kade in search for true loves first kiss decided to go to the magic message box to see if there was someone he could share that one special kiss with.
Princess Stephie got a message from who she thought was Kevo asking her on a wild Japanese horse ride. Mr. Kade explained he had returned from hunting vampires and Kevo had gone to find Mickey Mouse. Princess Stephie agreed to go on an adventure with Mr. Kade.
As they were riding through the deep dark forest Princess Stephie and Mr. Kade felt something they had not ever felt before.
Mr. Kade kept riding faster and faster so Stephie would hold on tighter and tighter!
Amongst the forests they saw a beautiful cabin. They knew that someday they would share one together.
But there was a villain his name was Troy Buzz, he had captured Princess Stephie and wouldn't let her go until Stephie found the perfect person to share her true loves first kiss with.
It was a late night when MR. Kade decided to go and see Princess Stephie, he was returning from taking care of some vampires in Utah.
Stephie was so excited to see Mr. Kade they laughed and played and fell for each other even more.
Now earlier they talked about how both were waiting for true loves first kiss. Now true loves first kiss is the most powerful thing in the whole wide world.
Now after they had a wonderful night both exchanged feelings of love and this was the moment that time stood still because they shared true loves first kiss!
After this magical night they both knew that this was true love and thereafter were inseparable practically connected at the hip because they were madly in love.
so because Princess Stephie and Mr. Kade were truly in love Stephie was freed from the villain and then they went and looked for pretty rocks...
And they lived happily ever after and were later married and had lots of kids
and lived in a log cabin in the woods!


Hope you enjoyed our love story, it is fact not fiction names have been changed to keep in tact the dignity of those involved.

Time Flies As I Fall

So much has happened in such a short time. Okay it hasn't been too short, my last blog was almost a year ago. Well i will give you a summary. A year ago i wouldn't have guessed i would be where i am today. I officially had some life changing experiences. 


When i graduated i figured i would be married and starting my family. Engaged at 18.


good ol' Dobby.  I could have been suzie's cousin if I would have married him.


 A year later i am just a student who has fallen in love and on her face more times than she can count. I have been engaged to 3 different men, other then Kade, I have had major heartbreaks and feelings i never wanted to experience and hope to never feel again. I can say that i have grown so much as a person. I don't even know where to start.


Stets was hard.  Never thinking you are good enough to be with someone really messes with your head.  He was such a cutie who I loved being around.  He did have a mother that hated me though.  I don't know what I did, but she thought I was bad news.  When he got what he wanted and couldn't get anything more he tossed me aside...


Stets

My messiest heart beak started with me being so happy, and i thought this is it, he completes me. i soon found out that when your not wanted it doesn't matter how much you want it to work out, he broke my heart in a way i didn't think i could survive.  I never initially wanted to date him, and really did it because he asked, but we clicked and we were so close after a while.  Being ten years apart and him having kids didn't matter to me.  He told me he was going to marry me when he got back from basic training...I was excited for that. He left for the army and I never heard from him again. After i finally figured out that it was over with him i was so depressed with life. Why would such a perfect fit leave me in the dust? Why wasn't my life working out? I just couldn't figure it out.


Pauliewog not a fan of pics, I don't even have one of us together :(

Next chapter of my life, started when i thought i was disappearing. I fell super fast for a boy that use to be my close friend, who i relied on because i just needed someone to be around. I had seen him in a new light, he was wonderful, perfect in so many ways. But when it is a long distance relationship the relationship is so much different.  we seemed to fight more than just talk.



TroyBuzz

one day when life was still rocky, a boy that i hadn't seen in a while text-ed me, we went on a date and for the first time in what seemed like eternity... i had fun. i went on a date, and laughed. i went on a date and smiled the whole time. i laughed, i smiled...this is a new thing for me. it ended and i didn't think anything of it, it was just a good time. My date haha after all didn't seem interested, so i thought i made a new friend. but he kept calling. Kade kept texting, Kade wanted to date me! He made me smile more than i can ever remember smiling before. Kade knew what was going on with me and my messy life and waited for me to work things out. Things didn't end the way i hoped with Troy but like Dr. House says you can't always get what you want...or was that Jagger? But i did get what i needed. i got a great friend out of the whole mess. But right now in life i have learned that you don't get what you want, but what you need and that god is always looking out for you. Even when you fall down a hole that you cant get out of. he sends someone with a rope to help you out. Kade was my rope, he has truly made me happy. i have never felt this way before. THIS IS LOVE, THE FOREVER KIND. The kind that both of us feel, and we want it to grow stronger. 




Mr. Kade

We spend every minute together that we can.
when I'm not at work i am with him. he helps me to be a better person. i for the first time in a long time am choosing the right. i am walking down a path that is going to lead me to happiness. i love the person i am when i am with Kade, Mr. Kade has made the biggest difference in my life.
I honestly am grateful for all the boys i have dated and for all the heartache. Because without all that i wouldn't be the person i am today. SO thanks. Thank you for everything you did for me, and for putting up with everything i put you through. I love you all so much!

California

I just spent the last week with my boyfriend and his parents in California. It was fun but awkward.  Initially Kade and I were going alone, but I don't think we are trusted, so the parents tagged along.  Wayne, Kade's childhood friend was getting married.  Since I went on a few dates with Wayne I was also friends with him, so we decided to make it out to his wedding.  California is a long drive that I have taken at least 4 times in my life, but each time it is still long.  

While on our trip we saw a lot of sea life(went to an aquarium), hung out on the beach (no pics) :( Ate lots of food (yay for in-and-out burger) we got lost and drove around for 2 hours at 2 in the morning.  Did a lot of kissing and got in a lot of trouble for it.   We hung out with friends and a lot of family.  We visited Steph and Dan, Kade's sister and brother-in-law who live in Utah.  We stayed with two of Kade's sister-in-law's families in Cali, the whole thing was really awkward.  But I got to spend a lot of time with Kade and see a lot of California, and a lot of Bingham family.
