Well it is official.....

I AM ENGAGED!!!

It was all so perfect! Tony took me down to St. George and we went shopping and to eat at Olive Garden. Then we went to Spoon Me for some frozen yogurt before we came home. Then he brought be back to my house, and when I opened my front door I saw this!
There was a trail of rose pedals and candles leading from my front door to my room.. every couple of feet there was a long stem rose. Tony had made little tags and wrote some of his favorite memories on them. He told me to find 12 roses.
By the time I had reached my room I had eleven roses. So he told me to keep looking for the last one and left the room for a min. So I was searching everywhere for the last rose. I turned around when he came back in the room and he was standing there with the 12th rose! He had the ring in the rose and then got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him!! Of course I said YES!!
Me and Tony calling our friends and family to tell them the news!
All 12 of my roses!

I love it!

Well I am super excited and happy that Tony finally got down on one knee and proposed! It was really cute, Tony says he isn't the romantic type... but I think he did a pretty good job! :) Well I guess we will start planning now! We are thinking June will be when we get married!! I am excited to have Tony for eternity!!!

George & Reba!

So two weeks ago I was able to go to Las Vegas and see George Strait and Reba! It was alot of fun! We went down Saturday morning and went to the UNLV vs. BYU basketball game! Even though we got killed it was still a fun game! Then we drove around and found our way to the MGM. We all got in our "country get up" and got ready to go to the concert! After waiting in line we got in... we had pretty good seats! We weren't in the nose bleed but weren't exactly front row! It was fun to go and hang out with Wendy, Cami, Mark and Joyce!! Thanks for taking me guys!!!

One Year!

Jessica moved back to good ol' Cedar City last January... she started working in the Staples Copy Center down there shortly after. Well, one cold January night of 2009, Tony was driving down Main Street in his "new ride" as he headed to work. He arrives at Staples and walks to the break room to put his stuff away. Mean while Jessica was on her break. She was just sitting there at the table, minding her own business. Just then Tony walks in, He glances at her with a funny look, and then turns around and walks out. He rushed to the front of the store and asked everyone curiously, "There is some girl in the break room, Who is it?". Everyone just laughs and explains that "the new girl" has started working. Well, Jessica's break was over and she was now up at the front of the store working. So Tony, decides he is going to go and say hello to the girl. After all she is pretty cute with her dark hair and all. So he walks over to the copy center trying to find something to do, and says hello. She looks up from her work and says hi. While thinking to herself, he is pretty cute, but his hair is long... hmmm. So they chit chatted for a little bit, asking random questions to each other. This went on for a few days, then Tony finally decided that he wanted to "hang out" with this girl.. "get to know her", as he would say to his friends.
Me and Tony on our "first official" date!

ha ha well that is how it all started! He must of had so much fun with me that first night, because he hasn't left since! :) Yes, we have been dating for one full year now! It is so crazy! Time sure is flying. But it has been a great year! Full of lots of fun adventures and laughs! For our date night this week since it was our one year. We decided to do something fun, so we went to Ninja, it is a Japaneese place where they cook the food on the grill in front of you. Then we went to a movie! It was a fun night! Hopefully there will be plenty to come!

Me and Tony, one year later! (not the best picture, but what do you do!)

Ten Years Ago Today....

It was ten years ago today that my Mom, and all our family came home to tell us five young kids that our Dad had passed away. I remember Aunt Lisa playing games with us on the living room floor to try and keep us occupied while everyone was gone. When they got there and told us, I remember Aunt Julie sitting down next to me on the couch and giving me a big hug, all of us crying. Then I looked up at her and asked her what we were going to do with everything? And then I wanted her to see a metal I had got from school....I guess you could say we were all just a little young and oblivious still.
I was looking at some pictures today of him and I thought I would send you guys some of them. They all show what a great man he was! Some are from when he was just a little kid, in his club or just with all of his family! It moves on to him playing in the band at school, and riding his motorcycle around with his friends. (He never did grow out of that one!! ) Then he served a mission in Mexico, and after found a cute young lady.... (I LOVE your hair mom! :)) They got married, and had five wonderful kids... (you should ask my mom to see if she still thinks we are wonderful!) He was able to bless all of his children, and baptize some of us. He taught us to ride the bikes, shoot guns, learn to love the sand dunes and go camping! He even got up early one day before work to teach me how to tie my shoes! We all started to grow up a little, and we would all get together with our cousins! Don't forget our annual baseball game with the Call's! He loved to get all of us together, Danielle's ice cream, Mexico trips, family reunions at the Cabin, chasing the swans man around Parowan or just Sunday dessert! Dad definately left us with some fun memories of him! And I am sure we will all probably laugh about them forever! Dad really loved his family and the gospel. He made sure that we knew he did, and was sure to teach us to know what was right to. I know that he is up in Heaven watching over all of us, and is still teaching us in spirit! He will ALWAYS be around to help us... and we all know that when it is our time he will be there ready to come and give us ALL a big hug and welcome us home... who knows he will probably even have a big bowl of ice cream to share!
Norman was a great son, brother, cousin, husband, father, uncle and friend! We all love him and I am sure still miss him just as much as the rest of us! I hope you like the pictures! I love you all!!!

I was able to go out to the Cemetary and put some flowers out for him... Sure do miss him!!

I LOVE YOU DAD!
