WE LOVE FALL!!

I haven't updated in a while so I decided it was time.... This fall has been so much fun!! We have gone to haunted houses with friends, gone to lots of football games, had my birthday, and had the annual Jackson family Pumpkin Carving Party. The party was so much fun! We had LOTS of pizza and sugar cookies!! Rosie (Tay's sister) makes the best sugar cookies EVER! Then we carved our pumpkins. Tay is very experienced in pumpkin carving because they have this party every year. He carved a skeleton, it was one of the harder designs and I was VERY impressed!! I carved a spider and I was so proud of myself because this was the first time in probably 10 years that I had carved a pumpkin. It actually turned out better than I thought it would!! We have also been to lots of football games. BYU has not been doing so great but the games are still SO much fun! Here are some Pictures ENJOY!!

GO BYU!!

TAYLOR'S BIRTHDAY!!!!

I gave this to Tay for our house...we decided that even if we didn't have anything else on the walls we needed a picture of Christ. This is one of my favorites by Liz Swindle...

don't be scared Tay

Wow, we're HOT!! ;)

Taylor turned 24 in August...wahoo! a few days before his Birthday I threw him a little family party at our house. Both of our families came, it was so fun!! We had a little Cali Pizza - Tay's fav. and BBQ chicken salad, my fav. For his birthday we went to Park city. We stayed at Hotel Park City...our room was AMAZING!!!!! We absolutely loved the Alpine Slide, and shopping on Main Street was a blast. We went to dinner at a place called Cafe Terigo, it's an Italian place...YUMMY! We got ice cream and carmel apples for dessert!! Back at the hotel we went hot tubbing for a couple hours (the hot tub was huge) and we had it all to ourselves! We had an amazing time in Park City!!!! It's the best!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAY TAY...LOVE YOU!!!

I LOVE Beyonce!!!

I stumbled across this video the other day and it really had a great impact on me. It was incredible to see the face of this little girl, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, as Beyonce sang to her. I'm certain that this moment was indescribable for this little girl and I'm happy that she was able to see this one wish come true. Hopefully it was a ray of sunlight in what must seem to be a very dark world for her.

Our Wedding Day!!!!!!!!!!!

Two is Better Than One!!!!!!!!

It will not come as any surprise to my closest friends that I love Taylor Swift (Don't even get me started on what Kanye did to her at the VMA's)!!! So, last night I heard a new song of hers..."Two is Better Than One." Well it got me thinking... I have two amazing examples of forever love in my family. My Grandparents...Grandma Mary & Papa LD, and Grandma Judy & Papa Dean!! Combined they have been married for 100 years!!! That's right, both sets celebrate their 50Th anniversaries this year. AMAZING!!!! The best part is that they are still IN LOVE with each other. Last December my Grandma Mary had a massive Stroke. It was beyond horrible. The worst/best part was seeing my Papa L.D. at the hospital with her. He was completely beside himself at the thought of losing her. I was sobbing as I watched him walk beside her as the doctors were wheeling her into surgery. He was holding her hand and just kept telling her, "I love you, I don't know what I'll do if I lose you..." Watching his range of emotions that night changed something in me. Over the next few weeks, I had to make some extremely difficult decisions to say the least. I realized that the person you choose, and who chooses you, is everything!!! I'm so glad Taylor and I found our way back to each other (I'll save that blog post for another time). Marrying Taylor is the best thing I have ever done in my life. He makes me want to be a better person, he challenges me, he believes in me, even when I don't believe in myself. He loves me, and I love him!!!!! He is perfect for me. Together we are whole. He is the person I see myself facing life's challenges with. He's the person I see myself holding hands with when I'm old and Gray!!! Two is definitely better that one!!!!!

LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!

Honeymoon in Paradise!!!!!!

Tay and I spent a wonderful week in Paradise! We stayed at the JW Marriott at Ko Olina, on Oahu. It was so amazing! Our favorite part was just being together!!! Over the summer we traveled to Arizona, Vegas, Maui, and New York...but we were always with friends or family (which was so fun). But it was so nice to finally have our time! We played on the beach, layed-out in our Cabana, swam, went on a helicopter ride, shopped, and ate (the food was sooo good)!!! We didn't want to leave, but we were so excited to come home and start our new life together!!! Here are a few of our favorite photos!! We did learn that with just two people - taking pictures is harder ;)

Enjoying a little night life...

We both read New Moon in our Cabana...
