you are my sweet huban!

8 freakin' wonderful years!!

wow... how the time flies!! i am so excited to be married to this wonderful man! he is so good to me. i am so blessed!!

we have a 8 freakin' wonderful years together! lots of ups and downs! and i wouldn't change any of it!

it is cool to celebrate this anniversary knowing that we will be adding another little one to our family this summer! we are so excited!

we had a really fun couple of days together! we had about 2 1/2 days to just relax and have fun! yesterday we took a little day trip down to riverdale and layton. we started off the day at babies r us! what a fun store!! we even found the perfect stroller!! i wrote all the info down so we can decide to either register for it or we can just use money from our baby account to buy it! i am very excited about it! i think its gonna be a good one!!

then we headed to lunch! the place kevin wanted to try was no longer there, so we hit our anniversary traditional- famous daves! gosh!! love them! such good food!! poor little kev loved the texas pit bbq sauce so much he got a little bit on his white t-shirt. so we did a quick trip to walmart to get him a new shirt! :)

then our adventure took us to target! we looked at baby stuff there and found some cute onesies. along with some other things we were looking for... new lunch box and water bottle! i know... we are pretty exciting people! :)

we decided to take a look at the movie options and found that clash of the titans in 3D started in 5 mins!! off we went! it was a pretty good movie! kevin liked the action... of course!

after the movie we (well, I) wanted to go to the quilted bear! so off we went! kevin found some really funny sleep shorts and i found the cutest stuffed giraffe ever!! it was fun just to wander and see all of the neat crafty stuff people have made! love the quilted bear!

we were wearing down at this point, so we decided to go to dinner at ruby river steakhouse and then head home! mmmm... dinner was good! we had never been there and we weren't disappointed! delish!!

what a fun day! doing whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted to do it!

today was more of our lazy and relaxing day! we spent the majority of it sitting on the couch, all cuddled up, watching movies! doesn't get better than that! mom surprised us with buying us steaks so we could grill them up at home and not have to leave! so nice!

then... we decided to put a bid in on a house!! we have been looking at the house for a month or so, just not sure what to do! but today we took the leap of faith! it is a cute little house, 4 bedroom, 2 bath. not my dream home, but it will be good for us for now. i am hoping all goes well and we are able to work with the seller to figure out the details!

so... that was our 8 year wedding anniversary celebration! we both had a fabulous couple of days and it was great to be able to spend so much time together!

i love this man!

happy valentine's day!!!

happy valentine's day!

i will admit, that before i was married i hated this day! i protested the whole month for that matter! i wore black all month, but was decked from head to toe in black on the 14th! to top it all off! i worked at a hallmark store! the land of love!

ok... so when i got married, i gave in.

but i think it is more than that! i changed my way of thinking! today i look at february 14th as a day of love... not only for a sweetheart, but for family and friends!

today is a day i like to recognize my friends... let them know i love them. tell my family i am thinking about them.

my sweet husband was out of town this weekend, and didn't come home until late tonight. but he wanted to make sure that i knew he remembered me!

he sent flowers! beautiful roses! and the UPS guy brought them! how cool is that!

i married a wonderful man!

today, i tell each of you... remember the ones you love... you don't have to be married, dating or even in love to enjoy Valentine's Day...

you just have to tell those in your life that you love them!

i hope you had a good day, i did!

32 years ago...

one of the most wonderful people in the entire world was born...

Kevin Ozell Little

6 years of bliss...

Today is our 6th Wedding Anniversary!

kevin text me this morning and told me that we have had 6 years of bliss... wow... bliss... cool...

our wedding day was one of the best days of my life!

how wonderful!

we love to be with each other.
what a cutie! can't wait for the next 6 years, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next...

happy anniversary babe! i love ya!

love is in the air!

Today is the 6 year anniversary of Kevin proposing to me... how exciting!

i found this fun MEME on What defines me, and i thought it was perfect for today!

i love these kind of stories...

1. Where did you meet your husband?
we met at church... in utah, for the singles wards, they have what is called "ward prayer". basically it happens on sunday evenings and is a time when the ward gets together to say "family prayer" to start the new week. i saw him there and thought he was really cute, but he had a girl with him! darn! however, the next week there was no girl! so i got the courage to talk to him. :)

2. What was the first thing you said to your husband?
i think i asked him if he was going to join the ward choir. i got a resounding "NO". i was bummed because i love to sing... i later found out that he plays the piano though... good enough for me!

3. Where was your first date?
once we started talking to each other i invited over to my apartment for a big luncheon. once a month my friends and i would invite a bunch of people over for dinner. it was a great way to get to know others (and have my friends check out the cute boy i invited... had to have their opinion!) our first official date was a week or so after... we went to dinner (golden corral) and a movie (jurassic park 3)...

4. Did you have a short or long engagement?
i think our engagement was perfect! he proposed january 21st, 2002 and we were married april 9th...
i did, however, pick out my ring in october... so we knew then...

5. Where did you get engaged?
in my apartment! i had a feeling that kevin had picked up my ring that afternoon... especially when he told me to come home as soon as work was over! i was getting so excited that i left a little early! when i got to the apartment kevin was talking to ann (she was living with me at the time), and they both acted really strange and nervous when i walked in! ann went straight to our room and kevin told me to stay where i was...
he then came over and put on one of our favorite songs... "dance with me" by tonic... and asked me to dance. this was a big deal because kevin just doesn't dance. not even if it is just the 2 of us in the kitchen!
when the song was over he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring box... so exciting! i felt silly standing over him... so i got on my knees too! he asked me to marry him and of course i said yes! when he opened the ring box the ring was not in there!!!! how rude! lol! he led me into the kitchen where there was a dozen red roses with a single white rose in the middle of them all... my ring was sitting in the middle of the white rose... he told me... " i would love the spend eternity with you, surrounded by love!" oh ya! me too! :)

6. Where were you married?
we were married in the Logan Utah Temple

7. How did the reception go?
wonderful! very laid back! and we loved it! we had a luncheon and a reception. my colors were navy blue and silver. we didn't stand in a line because we didn't really have a wedding party. just my maid of honor (ann) and kev's best man... both of kevin's parents have passed away and my parents were seeing each other for the first time in 27 years! so... needless to say, there was no need for a line... lol! actually i hardly spent any time with kevin at the reception... we were both mingling with our guests! someone even joked that i didn't even really get married or have a husband... he was just a myth! what a great way to get presents! lol!

8. How was the honeymoon?
wonderful! we went to louisiana! that is where kevin grew up and his sister and brother in law were still there. i hadn't met them yet, so it was a great time to see where he grew up and meet his family. we were there for 10 days! loved it! so incredible!

my sweet husband is a great man! i love him more and more every day!

new truck!

we bought a truck yesterday!!!

ok... so we have been talking about getting a new truck in the spring, but kevin has been thinking about it a lot now...

matter of fact he went to a dealership in ogden on tuesday and test drove a 2000 chevy s10... whatever that is... lol! he really liked it and wanted to know what i thought!

well, since i wasn't there to drive it with him...

and that it was the first truck he has test driven...

and that is was the only truck he had driven...

and that it was red...

and that it had tan interior...
(red and tan... not my idea of a perfect combo for a vehicle... at least for us...)

so, as my list got longer and longer i told him to hold off for a bit... you know... drive a few more trucks! we decided that we would pray about it on wednesday and come to some sort of decision on thursday.

thursday morning came and kev called me at work to ask me how i was feeling about it and what i thought. i told him that i felt like we needed to try a few more things out... test drive more trucks... even if we went back to the original truck, at least we did our homework.

now, one of the things we liked about the first truck/dealership was that they were willing to offer us $1500 trade for our little piece of crap... i mean, other car... that was very enticing to us, because we knew we wouldn't be able to get that much if we sold it elsewhere!

ok... so he decided to go drive a couple more.... he called me on my lunch break and said that he was out in the parking lot... "come and see!" ann and i went out and there he was! he was driving a white 1998 dodge dakota... very nice! it is great condition... inside and out! it came with a little truck box (which we would have needed to get anyway...) decent gas mileage, and 4 wheel drive! so great!

his friend was with him and he gave the thumbs up too! kevin wanted to go talk to the dealership (the truck was from the same dealership that we bought our beautiful new buick!) and see what they could offer us.

i said... good, go talk to them... so... he did...

they offered $500 for the trade in and we were thrilled with it!

we bought it! wow! that was fast! but we both feel really good about it! it is a great little truck! wahoo! we have a truck again!

happy birthday babe!

today is kevin's birthday!

he is 31 years old!

ya... i robbed the cradle! lol!

i surprised him with 2 big screen tv's!

one for the living room and one for his "play" room!

ya... lucky boy!

anyway... he is adorable and

i love him!

happy birthday babe!

you rock my world!

can i just tell you...

what a great man that i married!

kevin and i will be celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary on monday, 9 April 2007! wow! how time flies by!

anyway... i wanted to make a big deal out of our anniversary, not just the usual thing! well, we are a little tight on money right now and kevin, being the thrifty person that he is, suggested that we just stay home this weekend.

i will be honest, i was not all that excited about the idea. i wanted it to be special, different. not just another regular weekend at home.

kevin said that he had a surprise planned for me this morning... the only catch was that we had to leave our house at 5am in order to do it!

whoh whoh wait a minute! 5am! are you crazy!

this is my day off!

well, i decided that if he was going to take the time and plan something special, like i asked him too, then i should at least do it... (without complaining!)

so, off we go at 5am on a saturday... i kinda slept when we got in the car. before i knew it, we were in bear lake!

he pulled up to a construction site on the top of the mountain and we sat there and waited for the sunrise! it was beautiful! i loved it!

we have been wanting to do something like this for so long! just never had the chance to do so!

what a great anniversary gift! he gave me a mountain, a lake and a beautiful sunrise to go with it! i wish that i had taken my camera! (then again, that would have spoiled the surprise!)

anyway... it was a great start to a great day!

thanks kev! i love you!

kevin's blog!

ok... so my cute husband started his own "gaming" blog! he is a big kid and loves video games! if you do too, or know someone who does... send them on over to kevins blog!
