Busy time...

December 30, 2009

This year I have truly realized again how much the Lord does bless my life.  It has been full of major events in my life.  I have wanted to belong somewhere for a very long time.  On April 13^th I closed on my first home.  It was a very exciting time.  It is in North Salt Lake and is a 1337 square foot townhome.  It has three bedroom, 21/2 baths and small patio backyard and a one car garage.  It is just perfect for an independent single woman with roommates.  Little did I know this would be very short lived. 

I work with Daniel Seelos, now my husband.  We were married September 12^th in the Bountiful Temple.  I started working at the Chamber as an event planner in March of 2007.  I met Daniel while I was interviewing at the chamber. 

Although we interacted at work we did not work that closely together.  In February we started going to church together trying to find where we belonged in a singles ward because Daniel was 31 and I was 30 and would be asked to leave my singles ward soon.

Needless to say that was very short lived because the wards we a scary reality of the options of people in the 31-45 age category. 

In April, when I moved into my new home, I found out that Daniel loved gardening.  There is a wonderful greenhouse (J&J) in Layton that I had never been too.  One day while at the office stuffing invoices as a staff, I asked Daniel to let me know the next time he went to the greenhouse because I would like to go.  He called me that weekend.  He told me his parents wanted to go as well so that we would stop for breakfast at Granny Annies, a spot they love in Farmington.  I drove over to Daniels, and we all went.  We enjoyed looking at all of the plants at the greenhouse.  I asked Daniel to help me plan out my yard so that I would know what to buy the next trip. 

Daniel drew a landscape plan a couple of weeks later and showed me while I was at his house. 

The following are sweet memories that I wanted to add but are not written out.
