Guess What?!?!

I'm getting MARRIED in 11 days!! I'm SO excited!!





I love him... He's so dreamy!

Happy Birthday Wesley

This is the very first picture I ever saw of Wes... I didn't know at the time that this would be the man I would spend the rest of my life with and eventually we will make it for time and all eternity.

I wanted to give him a special little shout out for his birthday... I know I am a couple days late but I figure, better late than never...

Wesley,
I love you more than words can express, life with you in it is more amazing than I ever could have imagined. There is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful for having you in my life by my side. You make me smile when no one else can... Every time I look at you I fall in love with you a little more. I didn't know it was possible to love someone as much as I love you. You have put up with me, through the good and bad. You have been my rock and shoulder to cry on when I needed it the most. You never judge me and have always excepted me for me. Thank you so much for all the love and support you show me on a daily basis. I can't wait to see what life has in store for us together. I will always be by your side, hand in hand, we will walk through life and face everything together, as one. Happy birthday baby cakes!! I love you so so so much!! Here's to the first and the many to come.

Love,
Sugar

Tis the Season...

I love Christmas time!! It's my favorite... Just wanted to tell everyone how much I love you and you all mean the world to me!! I hope every one has a wonderful holiday season!!

Love,
-Jen & Wes

Thanksgiving...

Wes and I were able to make it to Cottonwood to have Thanksgiving at Mom's house... We had a blast there were lots of people there!! (Elmo, Mom, Tara, Will, Landon, Tristan, Avery, Emily, Ryan, Joey, Ryans daughter {I forget her name}, Victor, Kevin, Shane, Shawn, Wes and myself) There was definitely a house full of people!!

Thursday afternoon Wes wanted to go for a drive, originally he wanted to go to Sedona but I thought he would like Jerome more... So off we went, and he was like a kid in a candy store!! He loved it up there!! He was driving, and kept looking around yelling out, "Babe, look at that!!", and, "This is so cool!!" I loved every minute of watching him look around and be absolutely mesmerized by everything up there!! He wants to go back sometime and "explore", so eventually we will do that!! We found this little spot that had like a man-made waterfall and stairs and it was so green and pretty!! We stood there and looked around and just enjoyed the view!! Wes had to head back to the valley to work for Black Friday, luckily he was able to get off early enough to come back out to Cottonwood later that evening... He told me he wanted to go back up to Jerome so we could take some pictures... After he got into town we got ready and took Deanna up there with us to take some pics...

We walked around and he told me he really wanted to go up to that spot again and get some pictures there, and after we took a couple he got down on one knee and proposed!! I had no idea at all!! So, yeah... Now begins the planning!! I'm so excited!! I love you Wesley...

(My ring, I know it's not a great picture... But, you get it...)

Thanks to the family for a great Thanksgiving weekend!!

Smelling the roses...

I was looking through some pictures the other night and found this one... I think I was supposed to look at it because the thought popped into my head that I needed to take my time and stop and smell the roses... Life is too short and if we don't take the time it passes us by in the blink of an eye!! I hope that we can all slow down and take some time to smell the roses from now on...

Miracles do happen...

So, I know that this is a little late since I probably should have done this like Friday but better late than never, right?

I was lucky enough to be able to be in the room when Hailey Marie was born... And I must say that I do know that miracles really do happen. Some may not think that when they watch a baby being born, some may think it's gross and that's fine but I truely feel like I was blessed on Thursday night. I have been so excited to meet this new niece of mine for the last 9 months (give or take a few weeks) and when I heard the news from Shane early Thursday morning I couldn't go back to sleep. I must say that I really wanted to skip work and be there the entire day but I knew that it was going to take a while for Deanna to actually be ready... I think it's safe to say that I waited as patiently as I possibly could (Shane will probably beg to differ if you ask him) for this baby to make her way into this world.

I got to the hospital at about 9 pm, and sat in the room waiting for something to happen... Deanna didn't take long after I arrived, and about an hour and a half later there she was... As she was born this spirit that I had never felt before filled the room and at that moment there wasn't a care in the world... For the first time in a long time I felt close to my Heavenly Father, and I know that that is really sad for me to admit but I felt the spirit so close... She is a miracle, all babies are and I was blessed to be able to witness that miracle of life...

Congrats to Shane and Deanna, and welcome to the world Hailey!! It was an amazing experience to be a part of it all and I am grateful that I will get to witness more in the future... I cannot wait for Erin, Tara and Heather to bring their beautiful babies into this world... So I can smell them (it's a Willoughby thing) and love them unconditionally!! I am the luckiest Auntie Jenny in the entire world!!

Hailey Marie Willoughby, born September 17, 2009... 6 pounds 7 ounces, 18 inches long...

Lame-OH...

So, I've been totally lame and haven't written for a while... Been busy and when I'm not I have thought about updating but I don't have much to update on. Life is same ol' same ol'... We're trying to find a new apartment, we live in Phoenix and you would think that it would be easy right?? Haha... You think wrong!! It has been the biggest pain in the butt to find something decent that isn't going to kill the wallet... Found out this last weekend that my sisters are all prego!! Geez, and they're all due within a month of eachother!!
So, CONGRATS to Tara, Heather and Erin!! Yay you guys!! Then on top of it, DeAnna is scheduled to have her baby in like a month, well a little over a month but still!! I can't wait for all these babies... I will have lots of them to hold and kiss and smell for a while... I couldn't be happier for everyone!! Plus I get to be a favorite auntie to four new babies!! Haha...
Oh, I decided I'm gonna start dieting, like hard core!! I need to lose weight big time!! I wanna be skinny again... So I'm gonna try Sensa and an Acai Berry supplement... Read up on both of them and they both sound promising!! So wish me luck and we'll see what happens, if they do work like they're supposed to I will post pics and update... I need to take before and after pics, maybe I will have Wes do that tonight... (BIG maybe) Haha...
That's all for now, toodles!!
