Little things...

So i cant believe I had a beautiful baby girl 6 weeks ago!! Its crazy to think that I am all grown up (well, sorta) :P Who knew that love could be so powerful... She is everything to me. A little mama...A little ME! Every day and every night is a new adventure she is started to coo and gaa cutest sound i think i have ever heard. Its the little things in life that make it so exciting.
I didnt know what life could bring and now i see and i understand. Nothing i could ever do to make her see what she means to me. Its all the little things she does the other day i was feeding her and she grabbed onto my finger and just stared at me with watchful eyes. :D

Even when she is wide awake at 4 in the morning it is her presence, smile and sounds that make it all worth it. She has such a personality and the cutest cry face in the world.

NEVER GONNA BE ALONE

If this song had came out when Charlie and I got married this is the song we would have played after our wedding or at our reception! :D For now this is OUR song! It could have been used this past year with everything that went on...
I love you charlie Always & Forever. You are everything to me. We have grown so much this past couple months. Your amazing in everything you do. We made it right. All of it! I wouldnt have stayed so sane without you by my side. I would have reacted to situations in the worst way. But, You see the good in everyone & are so patient and kind. You always lift me up and carry me in every situation you never let me fall. Even when i wanted too you wouldnt. I LOVE YOU!!!
Oh, the song is called "Never gonna be alone." By Nickelback.

(Verse 1)
Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of it with you.
Now I'm, wondering why, I've kept this bottled inside,
So I'm starting to regret not telling all of it to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Your never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't you fall...
Never gonna be alone!
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

(Verse 2)
And now, as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands,
'Coz forever I believe that there's nothing I could need but you,
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Your never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

(Verse 3)
Ooooh!
You've gotta live every single day,
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away,
Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun.
Every single day,
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes...

(Verse 4)
Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you...

(Chorus)
Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day,
I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day.

My AMAZING sister told him a teacher at her school was selling them :D and i got HIM!! His name is Buddy... He is the newest edition to our FAMILY!! We have a zoo around here... Here are some pics of our pets ENJOY..

Relief Society Holiday Treats

So i was searching for some ideas for Visiting Teaching and i found a whole bunch and so far these ones are my favorite!! So for anyone out there who needs ideas i have some just for you :D

1. Pencil and Notepad: Merry Christmas from our pad to yours!
2. Mugs with hot chocolate mix: To our special friends who are so Dear; We wish you all a cup of Cheer!
3. A Bag of Jolly Ranchers: Have a Holly Jolly Christmas
4. Jar of Jelly: A copy of the story of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas" with the words "And it shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly" underlined! Merry Christmas!
5. Hershey's Kisses in a wire whisk tied to a bottle of root beer: We whisk you a Merry Kissmas and a Happy Root Beer!
6. Heart Ornament: May the joy and love you give away, come back to you on Christmas Day
7. Cheese ball and crackers: We don't mean to sound "cheesy", but we hope you have a "ball" this Holiday Season!
8. Sparkling Cider: Wishing you a sparkling holiday season!
9. Caramel corn or popped popcorn: Just popped by to wish you a Merry Christmas!
10. M&Ms: Give a bag with the M&M Poem;
Christmas M & M’s

As you hold these candies in your hand
and turn them, you will see
The 'M' becomes a 'W',
An 'E', and then a '3'.

They tell the Christmas Story
I'm sure it's one you know.
It took place in a stable
A long, long time ago.

The 'E' is for the East,
Where the star shone so bright.
The 'M' is for the Manger,
where the Baby Jesus slept at night.

The '3' is for the Wise Men,
Bearing gifts, with which they came.
'W' is for Worship,
Hallelujah! Praise His Name!

So as you eat these candies
Or share them with a friend,
Remember the meaning of Christmas:
It's a love that never ends.

Merry Christmas!

Favorite Twilight Scene:

Another one of my favorite scenes is no where to be found but i can tell ya the script of it :

Alice: I'll go with Bella. Jasper and I will drive her south. (facing Edward) I'll keep her safe, Edward.


EDWARD: Esme, Rosalie, put these on so the tracker will pick up Bella's scent.

Rosalie: (droping the clothes)
Why should I? Whats she to me? Just a danger you have inflicted on us --

Dr. Cullen: (Spinning around to her)
Rosalie. Bella is with Edward. She's apart of this family now. And we PROTECT FAMILY.

She glowers, but picks up the clothes. Dr. Cullen hits the door opener and the massive METAL DOORS roll open. Dr. Cullen squeezes Edward's shoulder before he and Esme Climb into the SUV. Everyone finishes loading up and climbs into the cars

Feelings...

So as i sat here and watched this video it made me think... Why do we always think poor me? or why cant i do that? This question has been asked so much when in reality if we let certain things or certain music, movies or even people get us down why do we want that in our lives?? The answer to that question for me is i dont. I dont want to be around a negative atmosphere so i try to stay away from it and out of it. For example, I used to love SCARY movies and now i could careless if i saw one.. Like for instance on Halloween i watched ELF!! ELF can you believe that hahaha :P We need to think of the good in all things and don't let the small negative get us down. Be grateful for what you have a roof over your head, a loving companion, FOOD :) Whatever it may be big or small.
So much has changed this past week as I'm sure everyone knows. Charlie was baptized this past Sunday and i couldn't be any happier. I love him so much it is crazy and sometimes i don't know how he puts up with me but he does and i thank him for that or try to anyway. I always kid with him and say are you sure you want this for all eternity and he always answers me with a smile and says of course i do! :D He is an amazing man and he has done so much for me. Despite what some may think. He was the reason i have become reactive in MY OWN CHURCH sad but true. He is the reason we say our family prayers and read our scriptures. His insight in everything to me is so inspiring i cant even tell you. I cant even express how much i love him. I know it is bad on my part that i wouldn't push for those things but he did & still is! He lifts me up and makes me want to be better in every action that i take. Thats what a relationship is... Its bringing your loved ones up and that is what he does every single day. I have to throw this story in here so the other night we went and got a hamburger when they got mine wrong! I seriously started bailing over a burger i know but without question charlie started heading back to go get it changed. lol yeah do you think i am emotional?? haha :( poor charlay. he has to put up with it and he does every day with a smile and a kiss :D i couldn't ask for a better man.. Who doesn't want their feet rubbed every night? AND there back scratched before you go to sleep? He does so much for me its insane. Even when he has just worked a 8-10 hour shift he still comes home and scratches my back and always kisses my tummy and tells our daughter he loves her...
I am truly sorry we didn't invite more people as it happened so quickly and we have been so busy moving stuff into our new house with dad. :D My dad has a lot on his plate new house trying to please anyone and everyone all at the same time... He is getting old and i can see it wearing him out. So i try to tell him to stop getting so overwhelmed. But, It makes him feel good to do SERVICE for others :) I love my dad with every ounce in my body even little Tessa's body. He is an amazing loving, sometimes onry if he doesn't eat on time old man :P He does so much for me i try to tell him every chance i get that i love him. "Love is a 2 WAY STREET its NOT A ONE WAY!"
He told me one time i talk to much lol which i think its true! HAHA i call him in the morning on my way to work around 9:50am then i call him about THREE TIMES during work then i call him either before school at 4:30ish or on my dinner break at school...I call on my way home from school at about 10:10 pm at night. Even if i have nothing to say i always ask "what are you doin?" LOL it is his favorite question of the day haha So needless to say i always talk to my dad and tell him i love him. Every chance i get to hug him and tell him too. He gets pedicures with me ;) he even gets the soap i like for his hands..."BATH N BODY" yay!! I love you pops all 3 of us do :)
