I saw on some people's blogs how they have music playing and I was like I want that! So I created my own little playlist and I am really excited because I love the first song on there. I just love Chris Brown haha and his music but I really like this song! Now I can hear it everytime I log on. :) The list is mainly songs though that Jeff and I have listened to together over the years and that is why there is a lot of Rascal Flatts. Rascal Flatts goes back to the very beginning of Us. Anyways, I love music so much and these are some songs that bring back happy memories for me!

A lil Christmas Fun
This past weekend we decided to make a Christmas video so we got our entourage together and went to work! Our inspiration was Jason and Cali's video (which we absolutely loved and is Jeff's bro's fam) so we thought, hey we should do one in response! The Mexican theme is also in honor of Francewa who got his mission call to Cuernavaca, Mexico which is pretty much the same mission as Jeff. Anyways, Merry Christmas from our family to yours and hope you enjoy!

This one is for Jeff…hence the football background
I would just like to take the opportunity to tell him CONGRATS on making the Utah Valley Thunder Indoor Football team!! Woo!! The contract is signed and he officially is a professional football player now. The tryout was last Saturday and I think he is still sore haha but I am so happy and excited for him! It is the same league that he played in with the Saints but it will be a completely different team, coach, and owner. I am especially excited though because the team is based out of Orem instead of Salt Lake and I can finally go to the away games since we are married! They will practice in Provo and then play at UVU so it will be much better than before when he had to stay up in Salt Lake after work for practice. I think the season doesn't actually start until March but we are super excited! He loves the game so much so I am happy that he gets to play a little bit longer. There is nothing better than doing what you love and getting paid to do it too so I say he is pretty blessed. Congrats again sweetie and you deserve it!!
Here is the link to the team’s website: www.utahvalleythunder.com/

Thanksgiving
One more day till Turkey day! Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I have been sitting here at work thinking about what I am grateful for. I don’t know about you, but a typical question from my Dad, once we all finally sit down to eat after hours of cooking is, “So what are you thankful for?” I thought I would start thinking now so I am prepared when the question comes tomorrow. :)
Here is a list of some of the things I am thankful for:
My Heavenly Father and brother, Jesus Christ
My membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
My hubby and our eternal marriage
Jeff’s optimism and fun personality
Second and even third chances (Thank you Jeff for being patient with me)
My family, immediate and extended
Good friends
The scriptures
The Prophet and those who lead our church
My freedom and my agency
Good health
The ability to run, walk, DANCE- (if you ever get the chance, look up the story of Adam Bender. It’s very inspiring!)
Music
The education I have been able to receive
The sun!!
Beaches and warm weather
The employment that both me and Jeff have
The house we have to live in
Water
Food- especially chocolate
Funny people who make me laugh
Phones
The Caddy- I know that sounds materialistic but I just love that car! :)
Pictures
Those who have encouraged and supported me to help me get to where I am today
And that it is almost 5 and I am leaving work! I am going to have to stop here but I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and cherish every moment and the people you are with!

The Holidays are coming
I cannot believe how fast time is flying and that the holidays are almost here! It feels like it was just barely Halloween and now it is going to be Thanksgiving next week. I do have to admit though I love that there is no snow yet. The longer it takes to get here the better otherwise I will be on lock down since our car is worthless in the snow. The only good thing about the snow is that it usually means the holiday season is here! I am extra excited for this holiday season though because it will be the first one that I actually get to be with Jeff and we are not on two different sides of the country. I also have a house that I get to decorate, which I can’t wait to do! In my house growing up, the holidays were a pretty big deal. My mom just goes all out with decorations, food, and food haha. Those of you who know my mom know she is an AMAZING cook. So I have some pretty big shoes to fill and I need to get my practice in! Before, I would always help her cook for the holidays but now that I am married, I have told her I want to bring something for Thanksgiving…like make it all on my own and not have her there to basically do it and I help where needed. She always has to do everything and it is so hard because our family just keeps getting bigger so I want to at least to cover one of the menu items. I have been trying to think though what to bring so I thought I would see if there are any ideas out there or what your favorite dishes/desserts are for the holidays? I would love any input!

Officially The Worst Blogger Ever!
For a quick little update, we went to the Florida Keys for our honeymoon then had a reception in DC and then a month later had another reception in Cali so the wedding stuff lasted a long time for us but it all was so much fun. Each reception was so different and everything I could have ever dreamed of and more. They are some of the happiest moments of my life and I am so grateful for the work everyone put in for me and Jeff. Now I can celebrate everyday that I am married to an amazing man who I grow to love even more every single day. I am so grateful, very grateful for all that he brings to my life and I know it would not be the same without him. I love you sweetie!
After all the wedding stuff, we began regular life of work and work pretty much. We are both done with school and I just took the GRE so it has been nice to get a break from all of that. We have still managed to fit in quite a few trips and many other fun things. Football is included in there of course, and I have actually managed to squeeze some dance in there which I have missed so much. As my mom says though, “You are always doing fun things. You will have a very exciting life.” I can thank Jeff for that one. He is so creative and always wanting to do something and I love it! For example, for Halloween we had a Haunted House in our backyard for the kids in our ward and neighborhood. We were worried that not many would come but we actually ended up needing more help! It lasted for about 2 hours and we had probably over a hundred people come. It is probably the only time I will ever laugh at someone screaming but it was all very entertaining. Jeff is already planning and scheming for the next one. In fact, we might have a “Nightmare before Christmas” but we will keep you posted. Here are some pics though, Jeff popping out of the leaves and me with my niece and nephew. My cute nephew was the only one we made cry. He was doing great till at the end Tod jumped out with a mask and he instantly started balling. He was ok though so it was all good.
Well, that’s it for now but you WILL hear more from us. I promise :)

Soon to be Mrs. Jefferson Johnson!!
Well, I figured that it was about time I start contributing to this blog and what better opportunity then to make the big announcement that yes WE ARE ENGAGED!!! I think most of you already know but it finally happened and I’ve been a very happy girl since then.
I got to where he said Chichi was on campus but I didn’t see anyone so I called his phone but there was no answer so I called again and no answer…so then I started to panic! All these thoughts started running through my head and I began to think he was serious and that he was maybe off chasing after the guy who stole his car! I was trying to figure out what I was going to do when I got closer to Chichi and saw red stuff all around the car and got even more scared but then realized they were rose petals and on his window he had written READ with an arrow pointing to the back. On the back, there was a card he had written for me and at that point I just started crying. I reached the end of the card and it said “Meet me where I first asked for your number” (which was near the Humanities building for those of you familiar with BYU campus). Still crying, I ran to the spot, and there he was waiting. He came over and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I could hardly get anything out but of course I said yes! By that point, my crying had turned into laughing and I couldn’t believe everything that had just happened. BYU definitely will hold a special place in my heart now.

New Mexico Game
As I sit here writing this Blog (weird word) it hurts to get up because we had our second game of the season last night and all I do is run and get hit for 2 ½ hours so as you can imagine im pretty sore today. At the old age of 27 my body cant take as much of a beating as I used to and growing up with 4 brothers probably cut a few days off of my recovery time. Some already know that on Friday night Chelsie and I got engaged and ill let her elaborate on the whole “how did he do it?” but yesterday we played New Mexico who I really wasn’t all that impressed with. On the first play of the game we had a play call just for me and I ended up scoring my 2nd TD of the season. We jumped ahead of them by 15 in the first half but in the second half we had 4 people get hurt so they chipped away and ended up taking the lead with about 2 min. left in the game. We got the ball back and got a couple penalties to start the drive so it was very frustrating. It was third down and we only had a minute left in the game and I told my coach to run the same play that we ran the first play of the game which I scored on. At this point I was exhausted and really only had 1 more play in me so I made sure that I got open. We were about 35 yards out from the end zone and Wissler (our QB) put a ball in the corner of the end zone and I snagged it for the go ahead touchdown. I looked up at the clock and there were about 50 seconds left which is a lot of time to score since the field in arena football is substantially shorter. Since our defense is very sketchy we actually ended up giving the game away with 8 seconds to go on a 4th down play. I was fired up. It would have been nice to be the hero of the game but oh well. I think im going to start playing defense because our team needs help. New Mexico wasn’t that good and im pretty sure in a couple weeks we will beat them down there in New Mexico. That was our last home game for 3 weeks and we will be traveling to Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico. So far it has been a great experience to play in these games against some pretty good competition.
