HER




"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, its btter to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutly boring."

How do you write about your self? I aways feel a little bit lik im bragging about how great i am. I should look at it as imm proud of wo i am and i want the world to see who i can be and what i can do, which i do to a point, but i guess im a little bit to humble. I grew up in Ashton, Idaho I had an amazing child hood with my 2 brothers and 3 sisters. with magic number of 6 kids people always thought my mom was crazy. I look up to her for having the strength to deal with all of us especially me, i wasnt an easy kid. People also didnt realize how much fun it was to have that many kids in one house we were all best friends, especially since we were so close together. My older brother Dillon and I did everything together we were besties as kids it was just following eachother around and wantin to copy everything the other one did, but as we grew up we went out every weekend with our friends and it was always like that it was OUR friends not mine and yours. We were and still are so protective of eachother and of all of our little siblings, who are not so little anymore. When Dillon graduated my threeyounger sisters became my wingmen we partied our pants off. every weekend i would take them somewhere and once in a while we would take Austin. We went to dance parties and movies and just cruising where ever we could possibly get. I love Cheerleading and Gymnastics and Dancing i was on an allstar cheer team all through highschool and it was my life it was the only thing that kept me sane. I have done gymnastics for 13 years and i still go to the gym for college pen gym night its one of my strongest talents and i dont ever want to lose it. Also Another couple of life changing times in my life were in 5th grade halloween night my appendix ruptured and i we had no idea i had gone to the doctor 3 days in a row after halloween and finally on the third time they finally figured it out and i had to have emergency surgery. The doctors were amazed i was still even alive, my appendix had burst and all the infection formed into a bubble like cist and it stayede there the day i had surgery it had started to leak out of the bubble and the doctors said that if i had waited 24 more hours i would have been dead. Also in 7th grade i had to have my tonsils out and thats not so exciting but it still was kinda a big deal at the time.

I have always been absloutley boy crazy from as long as ican remember i have loved haging out with the boys and just being around boys. I hung out with dillon and his friends all the time. My first boyfriend was when i was 7 and i was young and thought that was the end of my life when he moved away, but there were many more crushes to come. My first kiss was my freshman year of highschool i was 14 and a half and it was to my first official boyfriend ,who turned out to be my future husbn for real, I have always been intrigued by love i have always wanted love and to be loved, and that sometimes got me in trouble. But i was in love with Colter they say you never forget your first true love and i can honestly agree to that in fact you never forget your true loves. I always have beleived that there is not a one and only guy i beleive there is a one and only type of guy. The guy that is best fo you iis the best out of that one and only type of guy. shortly after colter broke up with me to go on his mission i met another guy ( like i said ive always been a little boy crazy) and he became my best friend i could talk to him about anything. Funny thing is i met him online and when i met him i kissed him, i love kisses, and from then on we were great friends and i fell in love with him to when we broke up it was for the best but i was completly devastated. but I was still friends with him and all of his frinds and they turned out to be some of my most important friends and people in my life and i still care about all of them. The guy i started dating after that i didnt like him but rebounds go as they go. Remember the part about "love" getting you in trouble? well this is where that happened. I to a point led him on and he thought we were going to get married and the end. I didnt agree with that i didnt even like him but he "loved" me. This is the hardest part for me but we started out as friends and then it turned into a very very abusive relationship that i couldnt get out of. the first time he hit me i told him i hated him but i have a very soft heart and i forgive way to quickly. I should have walked away but im the type of person that it literally rips me apart to lose friends and people that i care about in my life. and he WAS my friend so i forgave him after he had begged and pleaded for me to talk to him and take him back. Second chances is where i hve always got myself hurt. The hitting started again and i kept forgiving him this went on for 3 years me lying to my parents and putting makeup on over bruises and making up stories and hiding his mistakes from everyone. I was on the edge of breaking down when my mom asked me if i was okay for the millionth time and i lost it i spilled everything i couldnt take it anymore three years of sneaking and lying and betrayal and being hit battered and bruised i couldnt take it any more. Along with the rumors that started about me people in a small town that have known you the longest and known your family are the ones saying awful horrible things about you, it cause lost friendships and alot of emotional and physical pain but after i stood up for my self and put a restraining order against him i finally got myself back. but it wasnt easy it took a year just to be confident enough in myself to tell myself that i didnt ned a man to tell me how to live and beleive me there were alot of guys that i kissed after that. I found myself in a few bad situations but i also found out who my true friends are. Honestly that is when i became the closest to my family my mom and dad have always been there to support me and they have had there share of pain because of the situations ive gotten my self in and i thank them for being there for me. My brothers and sisters, remember the protectivness that i talked about well when i finally asked for help all of them even austin stepped up and took care of me they truly became my best friends and even now i have a really hard time not talking to them and not seeing them everyday.

When colter got home from his mission. he called me and took me to lunch and i was supposed to be getting to school but cute boy came along and distracted me and i missed all of my classes that day because we were talking and catching up. We dated about 2 weeks before he started hinting around that he was going to marry me, who am i kidding it wasnt hints it was straight up " im going to marry you ". I objected at first but finally gave in when i realized that i couldnt imagine my life without him. The night he proposed he called my mom and dad and asked them if he could marry me. They said they wanted to talk about it, we then picked out a ring and then went home and talked to them about it. About a week later we picked up the ring and he officially proposed in the middle of the road at Taylors Crossing in idaho falls on the way to the museum with my little brother. I said yes eventually and six months later we were married. And thats where WE begin.


I just spent a year going to school and working my bum off and i finally graduated from Evan Hairstyling College and i am now a licensed cosmeologist and i love it ive wanted to do it forever and i finally acheived one of my many dreams.



P.S. Ive always lived... Never regret anything because at the time it waws exactly what you wanted and if you learned something from it, it was worth it. I have no regrets!

We!

Welcome to our life :) its a little crazy but i have to admit its so much fun. We are a typical newlywed couple, we laugh we cry we argue because life isnt perfect and were still getting used to living together, but we absolutly love each other more than anything.

Colter and i met in 2006 when i was a freshman in highschool and he was a senior. It all started when i walked past him in the hallway and he thought i was hot so he started hitting on me haha. well we dated before he left on his mission and when he got home i wasnt going to date him but he called me on my way to school my senior year and asked if i wanted to have lunch and i didnt really want to but i did it anyways. he then asked me to skip school and go to his sister in laws house with him. well i didnt object to skipping school so i went with him. well short story shorter about a month and 2 days later we were engaged and 6 months and 4 days after that we were married two weeks after my 18th birthday on August 29 2009.

Were not too exciting but we have fun and we are best friends. Right now colter is selling security systems and we are living in pittsburgh pennsylvania. I just graduated cosmetology school from Evans hairstyling college in rexburg and then we moved to pa so im not working in my field until we get back to idaho in August. Colter starts law enforcment school at ISU in August.

We have dealt with alot, from deaths in both sides of our families and deaths of good close friends to changing jobs and starting school and even family vacations and reunions. But whether its been good tme or bad times i can honestly say that he is my Best friend and i cant imagine being with anyone else i love him more than anything in the world but its been a fun crazy time and i have had to learn to lean on my husband and depend on him and not be so independent and we really have become best friends.
