2 years and still kickin it!


The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life. For what it's worth, I want to keep them on their toes.



Graduated July 14th, 2012 from Western Governors University in Marketing Management
My husband is hands down, the HARDEST WORKING PERSON I KNOW. When Jaelyn was born, he had a heck of a job to finish his college classes by the end of May and be able to graduate by July. He had put off his hard classes for the last 3 months (expecting to use during his paternity leave) but with all that came with Jaelyn's birth, you could only imagine how difficult it was to be dealing with the stress and stay focused at the same time. But George amazingly finished his undoubtedly difficult business classes in the wake of Jaelyn's open heart surgery while in the hospital and during our move to Utah (in which he practically did all of, since I stayed with Jae.) He just graduated last week and has made me one awfully proud wife.
George doesn't just stop there. He has a full time job working for an inventory software company (Fishbowl Inventory) and works with his own clients on the side doing SEO (search engine optimization) and social media with his business Netdawg. He has taken on jobs to be able to secure me as a full time mom, wife and homemaker. To be able to pay for our very expensive (but TOTALLY worth it) daughter and her medical bills, and for the pleasure and satisfaction of seeing the fruit of his labors. In turn for myself, I see him becoming what will hopefully and I'm sure will be, (TBMOE) the best marketer on earth!
 George continues on to his now favorite role as a father. He has gone above and beyond of what I ever expected my husband to be as the father of my child. Jaelyn can't help but smile at him every time he comes


home from work. You can definitely tell she's missed him throughout the day. If I had to think of one word that summed up their relationship-- it would be laughter. Almost every time I see them together, George is making her laugh and of course he can't help himself either. Laughter comes so easily with him. Between the two of them, it's the sweetest sound I've come to know.

July 15th, 2010
This July, we mark the 2 year anniversary of when George and I married. Of when I became the smartest version of myself, and said yes to the man I love so dearly. He has made my life so much more complete than I ever could have attempted by myself.

George- people often say, "I can't imagine my life without you!" Well, I've put that to the test and stopped to think about what it would be like for me. And when I think about it.. I'm unhappy and let down. I saw myself trying to fill the void of a man that could not possibly be filled by anyone other than you. I saw myself in a world of hurt and endless torment of single life dating. lol. I am so grateful to you for your hard work to provide for our family, I'm grateful for the wonderful relationship we've had, I'm grateful for you being the daddy to my daughter in the best possible way, and I'm grateful for your fun personality and keeping things light in tough situations. I remember when I first talked to you on the phone. We talked for hours, in laughter and happiness. Thank you for keeping that alive in our marriage. President Monson said, "Choose your love. Love your choice." I just can't believe I made such an amazing decision. Thank you for being my forever love and my best friend. And thank you so much for the best two years of my life. I love you so much Cowboii!
