Cougar

Ben and I have a long standing joke that I am a cougar.

It all started when he noticed that
a pair of my jeans were a little worn
and he asked me what happened.
I responded, "A cougar got me."
He joked, "Oh, so you scratched yourself?"

It's true.
I'm a cougar,
an "older" woman
who's on a "hunt"
for a younger man.

Along the way,
I found my "prey" and
it just so happens that
he's a little younger than me,
but whatev.
He keeps me young and
he's a good catch,
if i do say so myself.

I'm a coug.
Hear me roar!
RARR!!

Aniversario

Saturday April 17

marks my

6

year anniversary

from returning home from

my mission to

T.H.E.

{Texas Houson East}

Mission

I can't believe it!

In so many ways it seems like it was

just yesterday.

I look back at those days as

some of the greatest

of my life time.

It was t.h.e.

best thing I've done to date...

I know now just as much

as I did as a young missionary

that Jesus is my Savior

and Redeemer.

I know he lives.

I know he loves me.

Those 18 months were

just a small way

that I was able to show

my love and gratitude to him.

I loved testfying of him each and every day

{several times a day}.

To all my Texan amigos:

I love all y'all!

Those days were before I had a digital camera...

sorry for the lack of photos.

The memories are forever engraved in my mind!

Famous Dave's

Ben is now officially a year older!
We went to Famous Dave's
{an extremely yummy BBQ joint}
to celebrate
