NOTICE: sappy, cheesy, and possibly a bit over the top post coming on

Yesterday Talon and I had the opportunity to attend a wedding dinner for two of our great friends, Rick & Amanda. Let's get one thing straight, I cry at weddings (it's true, I cry at almost anything, but especially weddings). I was extremely nostalgic because they are getting married TODAY... which is the anniversary of MY WEDDING. Yes, that means that Two Years ago TODAY Talon and I were married.

I can't quite put into words how thinking about that day and every day since makes me feel. It truly was the BEST decision I ever made to marry Talon in the Logan Temple on March 12, 2008. It was truly the Right Person, the Right place, and the Right time for us. I could probably go on and on about how much I love him and how wonderful he is and how much more complete and whole my life is with him (which is all TRUE) but instead, I'll just give you an idea via things I'm grateful for because I met and married Talon:

- An amazing husband who loves me more than I could ever imagine was possible and who shows it in so many wonderful ways
- An unimagined ability to love unconditionally- to try to be selfless and to give of myself fully
- A partner through trials, joys, opportunities, successes, someone that is there through it all
- In-laws who really feel more like a 2nd family- seriously, if you haven't met them, you should... they're amazing!
- skills that I wouldn't have garnered any other way
- a Mr. Fix-it
- The cheesy stuff that used to make me gag
- the opportunity to make and keep sacred covenants
- the opportunity to be reminded of the precious gift of life
- The knowledge that I'll always be #2- the Lord is #1
- A scripture study buddy
- Someone who will sing the FHE song with me, even though it's just the two of us
- Someone who understands and knows me so well, and loves me anyway, loves me despite my weaknesses and sees my potential.
- someone who will have a giggle fest with me (and no, that doesn't make him AT ALL less manly)

Overall, I'm just grateful that 2 years ago I made the decision to marry this man:


In this place:


At this time:


FOREVER...


(now I have to go blow my nose because I'm crying again).

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
