Hero

David and his fellow fire fighters recieved a merit of honor for a fatal fire they responded to on March 3. I am so very proud of him and all of the fire fighters that help protect all of us and each other!! Thank you to all these brave HEROS!

HERO

There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Happy Valentines, And some wonderful news!

This Valentines David and I kept it close to home! On Saturday we went to our favorite Kay's Jeweler and picked out Davids wedding ring.. He wanted me to pick out a wedding band but I told him I didn't want one because it would cover the cute heart on the sides of my ring :) So we got David's ordered and it should be ready at the beginning of March! On Sunday David cleaned the house a lot for me and I cooked him a big dinner! It felt like thanksgiving all over again! I cooked a 21.5 lbs turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegis, and ended it with warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream! It was delicious and in my opinion the best gift you can give a man that LOVES to eat :)!!!

More good news is that David got a new job as a Official Santa Clara City fireman! he was so excited for his new spot with the crew! He was so excited when he found out he got the job it was like a kid in a candy store! He got this news around 10:30 AM Friday morning and at 3:35PM they had a call for a structure fire, a multi million dollar house had caught on fire. David was first on the scene and was the one that put the actual flame out! He was so excited! He was on this fire for 7 and a half hours. When he got home at quarter to 11 he was hyper off all the excitement and was very smelly!! :) on Saturday morning we woke up and looked at the news paper and David was on the front page!
I am so very proud of my Husband-to-be!!!
Here are some pictures from the paper!

Busy Busy Busy!!

January has been a crazy month for us.. For Christmas I got David a week long trip to Oregon to spend some well needed time with his family so he was gone Jan. 8 - 15. Which I must say in our new home was so hard, That place is too big for just me and the dogs, and it doesn't help that I am a HUGE baby! But he loved being in Oregon and getting to spend time with his family!

Mean while back here in Utah my mom and I have been working hard on getting things ready for our wedding.. things are coming a long wonderfully! Mostly thanks to my mom! I had to laugh at myself because for years I have said I want my wedding to be "this" and now that I am getting married everything has changed except my choice in flowers.. go figure!

I also finally went back to school this month. I am taking 10 credit hours this semester 3 over the summer and 10 next fall and I should graduate with my Associates next winter. Then I can just focus on getting my teaching degree!

My Maid-of-Honor Shannon came down and spend the weekend with David and I this last weekend and we got a head start on planning my Bridal Shower and just got some much needed girl time in!

After all that I came down with Bronchitis and have just been so useless this week! I am so exhausted and just want to sleep all the time and can hardly breath!

I am starting to feel better so I am hoping if the weather agrees with me this weekend I want to go do our engagements! I can't believe we only have a little over 2 months left.. even though it has only been 1 month :) It never seemed so close until now! But we are both so so excited!

We have gotten a lot done but still LOTS to do :)
