Oh Hannah My Hannah!

This is a blog for Hannah Dear! I failed to name her in my last Post and that right there is a Big Sin!
I love Hannah, she has been a great great friend to me for years now. And Hannah and I have been through very good times and hard times where we both felt like life could not go on.

Hannah and Sean

Hannah has always been sweet to me and everyone around her. She has a great personality and has been a great role model to me. And if it wasn't for her Sam would have never given me that first kiss, she helped him out with working up the courage to kiss me. 

my hair for the wedding :)

Hannah has done my hair for the last 4 years now and it always look great, and she did my hair for the wedding, and it was breathe-taking.

Hannah is a strong strong person and I am so proud of her and her choices she has made to go to BYU Idaho. And I am going to miss seeing her when I go back to Az in a few months, but its time for her to do her own thing. I love you Hannah!!

Things have changed

So I could not sleep last night, two hours outta bed so Sam could sleep and almost another two hours of me trying not to move to much in bed so he wouldn't wake up. Anyways I was think how much everything has changed in the last little bit. Here are a list of some of them

1. NO FAMILY, his or mine!: I love my family I know that but I never knew just how much I would miss my in-laws. I know I didn't go over a lot, but I miss seeing them on Sundays, and babysitting for them. And my family

2. Warm night: Now I hate hot sheets, I always have fans going in my bedroom, but it is too cold here at nights.

3. Not wearing my flip flops: I hate my boots, They make my feet way way to warm, Sam makes foot of me for taking them off when we go places, and they hurt my poor ankle.

4. Not a lot going on: the last year of my and Sam's life where filled with planning. Planning the next trip, planning on phone dates, planning a wedding, a move, a outline of how we would be living. Now all we are here, we can rest, and it makes me restless.

5. Missing friends: I miss everyone so so much!! I miss the Davis, the Laytons, Risa, Michele & Kayla, My kids at church :(, all my babysitting families, and my family.

Now here are so changes that I am so so happy about!!

1. We have a little Family!! Sam has been my everything for the last part of my life, and I am so happy to have him every day.

2. A Running Truck: Now Ordy may have some years on her, but she drives like a dream.

3. No more lonely nights!!: Oh I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to roll over and see Sam every night, and to wake up to him trying to put his arm under me to cuddle. I know gag it is lovey dovey but it true, it makes my day before I even wake up. And when I wake up with bad dreams, Sam is there.

4. I can cook whatever I want, and no one messes up by eating the food I had plans for!

5. Our own place!: Sam and have our own space! so nice to have a clean house and when it is dirty we made the mess no more picking up after others. (That was more of a plus for Sam, me not really, He hated having messy roommates)

6. We can pay all of our bills and have a time bit of fun still: Sam and I have more money now, when get our taxes back we are paying off our last of our bills, so we can start saving more.


All in all, I miss some things but I am so happy about being here. Oklahoma is a big change, but as much as I hate change, I am getting used to it. Sam is getting used to having someone to talk to all the time; he seems to liking homemade meals more than anything. We hope that by May we will be able to get another car, so I can get a job and do more. But I hope to start school by the end of the month, every office is backed up because of the weather, but we should be able to start. Until than We are just taking life one day at a time.

Super Bowl Party

Sam and I both come from Families where we have BIG superbowl parties. So, now that we are married and can be with everyone every weekend, We had a party of our own.

But the sad thing is, we really don't know a lot of people here, and the few that we do know where on a stand-by watch. So we only had two people over at our house. But Sam and I had great food and we got the house was in black, green and yellow all over. Ha ha Sam was going for the Steelers and me the winning time Packers! So we had both team colors up. It was fun, half time was so bad, and our two guys had to go study for their test tomorrow. But all and all it was a great day.

Our "cooler"

Cold Soda anyone?

One side Steelers one side Packers

Our bar, ha ha Sam's idea

Got our new couch for the game

Didnt know what to do with the other balloons

Next year I am sure we will have a bigger party, I hope we will have a house of our own, on or off base, We are not picking at this point. We did have that fat feeling later afterwards, but we had a great time. I love spending time with Sammy and this was a great day. I was sad that Church was only an hour because of the snow coming in. But it I am so blessed to have a husband who can make everyday so fun and great.

So home sick

Tonight was my grandpa's 70th birthday party, and the most I could do was be passed around the table as the cell phone. I know this blog is about both Sam and I but, I just really miss my family and needed to do something. All I can say is Sam is a much stronger person than I am, it took 11 months for him to see his family again, and I am crying after one month. And Sammy was by himself, no wife to be with him all the time and spend time with someone he loves. I just miss seeing everyone once a month at least, and my grandpa is 70 now, I am worried about him even being around when Sam and I come back to Mesa. Oh and while I was crying on Sam's shoulder after hanging up from my family, I saw the Families are Forever clock the Allred’s got us for a wedding gift, and I started crying all over again, this time much harder. I know my family drives me nuts, everyone’s family drives them nuts but when you hear everyone together and having fun without you, it’s really hard not to be with them playing games, talking, joking, spending time with one another. I am so happy I have Sam here with me tonight and he didn’t have to go to watch, because I think I would be walking to the airport trying to get on a flight back to Az otherwise. I love Sam to death but, I am so lonely here without any family or friends. I don't know about this now, all I wanted was Sam for the last while and now all I want is Sam with a larger side of my family. May come soon, I wanna see my love ones.
