Things that make us laugh until we cry!!

If you start to feel like THIS ....... Then maybe you should try.....
This. with a little bit of honey on the side. Let me tell you that more than one evening has been spent nearly on the kitchen floor laughing until I almost wet my pants!! Cliff and I were both in tears and it was quite the show when we visited our friend, Janet and partook of the amazing Apple Cider Vinegar there. It has been sooooo fun! I do not know if it ever helped Cliff's gas, this being the reason we tried it to begin with; but oh the funny, funny memories it has left us with.

(Okay.. you must read this one with a Chinese accent)
YOU MUST!!!
This, my friends is HIDDEN TURTLE. You must try it with your significant other..
It may make you laugh until you cry
You will not know unless you try.
You may also wet your pants.
It may make you want to dance.
Either Way, It is good.
:)
Ah, yes.... Even more hidden turtle.
Hidden Turtle is Very, Very
Good Fo You.!

:)

There is more, so much more... but I don't want to give away all of our secrets!

I miss You.

This morning as I turned from your embrace and walked into the airport, my eyes welled up with tears. I think of how much I am going to miss you from that very second until I am in your arms again for a short time.

I find solace in your eyes and in your touch. Your smile and your voice warms my heart.

I love you.

You know it's love when you can't stop thinking about him.

You know it's love when you'd rather be in a relationship-apart than not in a relationship at all.

You know it's love when your happiness is dependant on his.

The Perfect Day!

A Letter to the Man I love.

My Dearest Mr. Lovely,

Honey.... You had a hard day yesterday, for that I am sorry. This morning is certainly off to a great start because you called me at 6:03 am. You don't know how happy it makes me to hear your voice in the morning. I love that I fall asleep to your voice and that I wake up to your voice.

You are such a treat to know and love. I am a very lucky woman. Our boys (I have never been able to say that to anyone) are so lucky to know and love you.

I love your sweet smile and your kisses. I love your hugs and I LOVE HOLDING HANDS with you. I never dreamed mine could fit so perfectly in someone else's.

Being with you is like a dream. It is a dream that I never want to wake up from. I want to frolic in the sun (in low humidity of course) and lay with my head on your chest as I listen to you breathing all day every day.

You make me happy so happy, My Dearest Mr. Lovely. I am so looking forward to the day that I become your MRS. LOVELY. Thank you for your love and your beautiful spirit. I love the laughter that erupts and the fun that ensues when you are around. :)

I love you my Sweet, Kind, Loving, Sexy, Phabulous, DID I mention SEXY...... Man

My heart is yours for the rest of life.... maybe longer.
XOXOXO
Stephanie

I long for the day...

Tonight as I was making dinner (at 8:30pm) after rushing in from church, I was keeping an eye on my cell phone, waiting for Cliff to call. I stopped and thought for a moment about what it will be like when I am just waiting for him to call and tell me that he is on his way home from work. I long for the day when I can have a (not too hot :) dinner ready and waiting for him every night of the week. (Hmmm, okay lets be realistic. I will at least promise to always have TACO FIXINGS available every night of the week :)
I long to see the boys rush him as he walks through the door, instead of wait in line to speak with him on the phone. I long for the day that I can fall asleep to more of him than just the sound of his voice. I sleep with a cell phone gripped in my hand most nights. When I wake up through the night, I just tap a button and his face lights up on my phone. I take what I can get for now!!
I long for the days to come.... When we are together!

Things I miss on Sunday Mornings

When Cliff is not here, I always think of things that he says or does and it warms my heart to think of such things but it also makes me miss him terribly. This morning was no exception. I think of how when we are all together getting ready for church... (I am usually frustrated at the pace of things and the boys are arguing with me every step of the way) aside from that is seeing my four favorite men in suits pressed and ready. The boys like arranging Cliff's tie after they work on their own I miss Cliff's arm around me in church and my nudging him as he falls asleep. But my favorite moment about Sunday mornings is when I walk over and button Cliff's left cuff of his shirt, I smile as he does right back and then I gently kiss his face.

I LOVE IT!! Simple pleasures I suppose. I know he HATES when I try and do things for him, but this one thing, I hope, he allows me to do forever because just the thought of that simple but sweet moment makes my heart soar!

The Important things....

My parents are in town this weekend for the funeral of a very close friend, Vickie Jo Studstill. Tonight, as I watched and listened to my parents visit with my children, my brother, Simon, and his wife, Mindi... My heart was so thankful for the short time that we had together this evening. It made me miss Cliff more than ever and it has left me with thoughts of the days to come.
I thought of how I rushed around this morning mopping floors and doing laundry when no one would have cared what the house looked like. I know that I should not stress over how clean (or dirty) the kitchen floor is, if my bed is made or if the laundry is all done... WHO AM I KIDDING, THE LAUNDRY IS NEVER ALL DONE!!

The important things are simply being with family. I want to spend every moment I can with those I love. I never realized how much time I spent with my parents until they moved away. Now, I miss them so much that when they are here, it breaks my heart to see them leave. I never realized how wonderful it would be to find someone that would love the boys and I as Cliff does. Now that I know what it is like to have someone special here on Christmas morning, I never want to lose that. I love that Cliff asks about the boys and that they would text him every minute of every day if they could. FAMILY IS IMPORTANT... LOVE IS IMPORTANT... THE TEACHINGS of THE CHURCH are SO IMPORTANT...

Don't get me wrong, I am happy that my floors are mopped and clean but I am more happy that my family is nearly whole. I am happy that Cliff is a righteous priesthood holder and that he is an excellent example to the boys. He is the most kind, respectful, loving person that I have ever known and the boys and I are blessed to know him and to have captured his heart.

I am thankful for the important things in my life tonight and hopefully I will be able to remember them when I am thinking that I would look better driving a TAHOE than a FOCUS or when I think that I should read TWILIGHT for the seventh time and not the Doctrine & Covenants :)
