I certainly can't say that Jackson is my second love, in terms of amount. But in terms of order, yes, Jackson is my second love. He came almost exactly 3 years after i married my first love, his daddy. I never realized how much love i could have for one little baby. The things he does, the way he changes and the way he makes me smile and laugh are priceless and just make me love him more and more, i think about every second i love this guy a bit more than the second before. I can now admit that i loved him the moment he arrived, but it took me a while to really bond with this little guy. I am now inseperable from him. I am so lucky that i get to stay home and spend every day with him. 
I love my parents, and everything crazy about them. My mom is my best friend. She knows everything that has every happened or gone on in my life. She is so supportive and just a wonderful wonderful person. I am so blessed to have her as my mom. I don't think i could have had a better one. And my dad is a great man too! I have grown so much closer to him the past few years and i am so greatful for it. He is an amazing person who i am also so so so thankful for and lucky to have in my life!
My sister (and her husband) I love very very much! Kerri and i were not always close growing up, and truth be told, i wish we were a lot closer now. But she is still one of my best friends. I watch her and see what an amazing person she has become and i wish and wish i could take back being such a horrible big sister when we were younger. I love you kerr! 
This picture is meant to represent me and my best friend Kaleigh. I only have one picture of us together on this computer, and i think she would drive down to utah the minute she saw it to hurt me, if i posted it on here. So here is my baby and her adorable little guy Brody. Kaleigh is so amazing! She is pretty much the one and only thing that kept me active in the church for about 5 years. So to be quite honest, and no i am not exaggerating this, I have her to thank for the way my life has worked out. If i hadnt been active in the church i wouldn't have met bryan or married him or had my baby Jackson, heck, i proabably wouldn't have gone into nursing if it weren't for her. So for all of those things and just being the best friend i could ask for, I love this lady.
There are a lot of other things i love, and just don't have pictures or don't have time to download all of them, but here's a quick list of a few other things i love:-my grandparents (even though they're no longer here). They were all an inspiration to me
- my nursing friends. Without your support and good humor, and being the only people i could talk to (while eating) about all of the gross things i saw that day, school would have been a lot harder. thanks. Love you guys.
- I love being able to say i'm a mom.
-I love my camara!!! And i hope to develop my skill with it a lot in the coming years
-I love that i get to move to Indiana next year, even though it also terrifies me.
-I love the temple. We were going a lot last semester and it has gotten hectic this one, but i am so thankful that it it close enough that on a nice day i can walk there with Jackson and just sit for a while
- I love that Jackson also loves the temple. He is always all smiles when we go there
There are many things i love and am grateful for. And if i get a a chance i will list them. I hope i didn't embarass anyone too much with this post. I need to show and tell people i love them a lot more often, it shouldn't be just a valentines thing. So that is going to be a new goal for me. wish me luck! Love you all!
Haha! I had to read this twice to see that my name was in it. The first time I only got to your parent's picture before Brody got fussy, and so I decided to finish reading it today... good thing too! You're such a sweetheart! It kills me that you live so far away!!! Seriously, if you don't move back here when you are done with Bryan's school.... yes, that is a threat. :) And seriously, you've been there for me just as many times as I've been there for you I'm sure. Hey, what picture are you talking about? The face mask one from when we stayed at the Whiteheads?? I'm also copying this picture Brody to my computer too, so I hope you don't mind. Miss ya!
