46 days




Yup, that's right. In 46 days I'll be a married girl. It may seem like it's coming right up, but to me it is going soooo sloooow.
Everyone keeps trying to tell me that being engaged is so much fun... I would have to disagree. I wish that I could just get married already! Waiting and I don't go well together.

The other day, I found a list that I wrote in young women's 7 years ago. The list was about the things that I wanted in a future husband...(What else would YW have me write about?) My list was compiled of 30 different things that my future husband had to be. When my leader read the list, she told me that they were all great but that I shouldn't expect to find someone who was everything on my list because I would just be disappointed. Well, turns out, she was wrong. Tyler is all of these things and more. I really lucked out.

Here is my list:


1- The same religion as I am. A worthy priesthood holder. I want someone who is worthy to take me through the Temple.
2- Amazing smile. Straight teeth.
3- Taller than me.
4- Accepts me for the person I am... Despite mistakes I've made in the past.
5- Likes animals (my dog better like him)
6- Inspires me to be a better person.
7- Good with kids. Will make a good dad.
8- Strong testimony of the Gospel.
9- Thinks education is important.
10- Knows what he wants out of life.
11- Pretty eyes.
12- Plays the guitar.
13- Good cuddler.
Someone who I can fit perfectly into their arms.
14- Can make me smile no matter how bad of a day I had.
15- Makes me laugh until my stomach hurts.
16- Looks at me in the eyes and makes me feel special just by that look.
17- Makes me feel beautiful... No matter what I'm wearing.
18- Good family background.
19- Kisses me soft and sweet.
20- Can make any situation fun
21- Doesn't take things TOO seriously (unless they need to be)
22- Treats his mother well.
23- Treats MY mother (and the rest of my family) well.
24- Looks past my outer appearence.
25- Loves me for the person I am.
26- Encourages me through everything.
27- Strong opinions.
28- Isn't afraid to tell me when I'm being stupid.. But, will say it in a nice way.
29- Returned missionary with a strong testimony.
30- Unselfish.


I love him so much.
