While tanner was still in afganistan. He told me he planned a Surprise birthday/anniversary since he missed those things. We successfully waited for the actual surprise. It was so fun and may i add he did a pretty good job planning. he scrapbooked the itinerary. (i love his creativity) the day we started we Went shopping at the outlets, Ate dinner at Red Banjo on mainstreet. (pizza and pasta) we ordered the silver king. then went to the rocky mountain chocolate factory for dessert. second day at breakfast at the romantic burger king. lol tanner ordered in room 1 hour massages. It was heaven. the girls did amazing job. it was my first massage and i love it. then we went back down mainstreet cause i love that place and i love the fall leaves down there. after we went to tj max for a bit more shopping. then got icecream and hot cocoa and 2 red box and went back to our hotel. I STAYED AWAKE FOR TWO FULL MOVIES. thats a big deal. lol and the next day ate breakfast at kneaders and went home.

"OUR PLACE"

Tanner chuckin his rocks.

One friday we decided to take a walk. Now if you know me and tanner you know we love DAYBREAK. well we came around the bend and saw a million seaguls. The child in tanner just had to throw a rock at them. so He threw a small rock and sure enough all the seagulls arose all together and started flying around and squacking. well we didnt have the camera dang it. so we waited till sunday to come back. well we didnt see many birds in the first part of the lake so we kept on walking. and came to this part. well we threw many rocks and the birds must have been immune. cause they didnt do awhole lot. so i said lets just sit here for awhile im sure something will happen. a husband and wife decided to go canoeing and as soon as they threw their canoe in the water the birds all arose together and once again flew in circles. its so awesome!! I just love having tanner home with me. going back to daybreak on our weekly walks.

Ducks, seagulls, and geese chillen

Here they are right as the canoe landed in the water
Flying around in circles
Birds in Flight
AHHHH they are going to poop on me

Me just chillen in the nice fall weather with my husband.

I love you tanner

LAST GIRLS NIGHT

All of a sudden Anne and I realized OH MY the guys are coming home pretty soon we better do one last girls night. But we were both so busy and didnt have much time so we chose to have BREAKFAST FOR DINNER. it was fun and quick. Well I love these girls and the three lil ones did AMAZING during their daddies deployment. THey def had rough days but all in all i think they did great. So i decided to make them hot pink posters telling them how much i love them along with a bag of ring pops cause what little girl doesnt like those? we have had a blast during the 16 months our guys have been gone and we have had sad times and awnery times. We are BFF's

BEST DAY

I woke up october 15th. I felt the same exact way i did August 7th. Our wedding day. I could not have been more excited, relieved, more at peace, happy, and full of motivation than i did this morning. I sent tanner to his first training july 10th 2010, and said good bye 5 different times. It was prob the hardest, saddest, draining year of my life. I have so much pride. I love tanner so much my words could not explain. I dreamed of this day the way most girls dream of their wedding day. and it turned out 100 percent what i had hoped for. seeing tanner for the first time was soooo happy. as i watched the airplane fly into hill air force base i got all teary eyed. WE did it is what first came to mind. at times i didnt think i could make it. i prayed some days 5 times. asking for the safety of tanner and his battle buddies. I was truly blessed. i know tanner was watched after. i know my prayers were answered. Me and tanner survived our last deployment together. It feels soooo amazing. I will never have to go through that again. Tanner I love you
I love this picture.

we are so Happy to be in each others arms again.

I have so many people to thank. My mom and dad supported perfect. My mom never let me leave without giving me a huge hug since tanner wasnt here to do so. my dad was always so upbeat and happy. and always asked how SWEETY (tanner) was. tanners parents and family. His mom always hand delivered my flowers for tanner each holiday. i could not have survived without these to families. always took care of me. My room mates for always checking on me and keeping me involved. whitney especially. She cooked me dinner so many times and always came to my house to keep me company. of course tanner. he called very often and did his best keeping our marriage afloat. and my church members. going to church each week would motivate me for the following week. and so many other people. i love everyone who helped me. i will admit i was not always the nicest person. you would be able to tell if i was very stressed or had a bad conversation with tanner cause would be very awnery. but i am now very happy and motivated. i can now say I LOVE MY LIFE.
