a major change in life.

ok so yes i know it has been way to long sense my last post but the life just has not stopped.

so catch up to a lot of things. in may i moved out of my apt:( way sad to leave all my roommates. i moved in with my sister Rachel, cause she is awesome. thanks for letting me stay there longer then planned. kept working and doing special Olympics. you know me always busy. well then in June at a fhe activity, miniature golfing, i met a man:)

he would be the one in the black sweatshirt

well we kinda of hit it off, and pretty fast too. we started dating and getting to know each other over the next month.

us on a date at the hill air force museum

he had to march with the air force in a parade, so i went to watch with some of rachel's kids. unfortunately by the time we got to the spot he had just passed.

reggie is from back east so i felt like he needed to experience Utah's red neck and country ways. so we went to a truck pull and to the demolition derby. lets just say they were new experiences for him. so much fun

i decided to take him on a date. so we first went to the park to go to the batting cages but they were not working. way sad:( so we had a picnic and watched a show on my lap top. we then went to the little local zoo in logan. and then out for frozen ice cream. lets just say i know haw to plan a date.

so anyway we dated and such and then on july 7th 2010 he took me miniature golfing to the same place we met and asked me to marry him. i said yes of course and he gave me a gorgeous ring, (i picked it out so he did great):)

sorry not the best picture. kept running into a glare every time.

we were waiting until december to get married so we had lots of time to plan. we did our engagement picture the beginning of sep. thanks to his aunt for doing a wonderful job.

just some random ones. she did a lot of great ones and the invitations looked great. thanks to my friend Jaimie for designing them.

on dec. 18th i went through the temple. one of the most spiritual events in my life. i was very happy to have my family and his there to support me. thank you for all those that could make it.

on dec. 21st 2010 we were married in the salt lake temple for time and all eternity. it was a great day. i have never been so happy and i am so excited to start our life together.

well sense i was a part of the main event i did not get any pictures on my camera, so when i get copies from others i will post them so you can see the great events of the day. thank you for all those that supported reggie and i in our marriage and for those that helped make the day go great.

well that is whats new with me.

hi

snow boarding

so marianne finally learned how to snow board. we had a ward sky night and though in the past i have just hung out at the lodge i decided this year i would learn how to snow board. so erica, kody, and dan all tried to teach me. it was way fun, but i think i enjoyed the crashing and falling the best. the funniest thing was when i tried to get off the lift. i was on it by myself and did not know how to get off so after i missed the spot where you are supposed to get off i just jumped. i landed in like three feet of snow and we all had a really good laugh about it. i did make it down the mountain once, it took me a very long time, and i crashed many times along the way. i only went down once because by the end my back and knee were hurting me so bad, plus i had not eaten in like eight hours and i could feel my body starting to react to the low sugar. dan sense then has invited me to go with him, but i declined i think it will be a while before i tackel the mountains again.

well thats life
marianne

RECALL



k so lets play catch up on marianne's life shall we. it has been a fun couple of weeks that included christmas and new years. a few weeks before christmas a small group of us went to bear lake for the weekend. we had a blast while there even though we experienced some plumbing problems our first night. the bathroom on the main level flooded and went through the floor boards into the basement. it was a mess but very funny with all the clean up and one am phone calls to erica's parents. we then had fun 4 wheeling in the snow and jumping into the frozen bear lake. all in all it was a fun weekend away from life.

christmas was good, i went home for the family party the week before because i had to work all of christmas. it was nice to see everyone and enjoy the family. i spent christmas eve night at my roommate rachael's house. her parents were so sweet and did a stocking and santa for me . after work christmas day the folks came up with the little kids to do christmas with me. we had dinner at rachel's house with her family and it was a great day. i very much loved the crock pot i got for christmas and cooked a very yummy roast in it that all very much enjoyed. i also got the harry potter books and am now almost done with reading them all finally.

so we decided to have a new years eve party at our house so that we all did not have to go anywhere else. my friend taylor was not supper happy about it sense he was already having one that we were all invited to, but he knew we through better parties so they all just came over to our house. i made a ton of food for it and people sat around and talked for the first little bit. we then got the music going and as usual we had a dance party that was way fun. we had all in all around forty people show up through out the night. we then watched a movie to quiet things down, and people finally left at 4:30am.

well life is back to normal now that the break is done. working both jobs still and lovin it. speacial olympics just started back up so that should be fun as well. so thats the round up of my life hope ya all are doing great.

love and such

marianne
