*my own love story*

So for those of you that know me you know i have been EXTREMELY happy lately. and its all because of this adorable boy here...

it all started when i was 12 years old and moved into my home ward. i met him, he was nice and would talk to me, so of course i had a crush on him. haha not the i am going to marry him someday crush but just a oh he is so cute i love it when we flirt in sunday school crush. well years went by sam went on a mission to new york and while he was there i would think every once in a while "oh i wonder how sam may is doing? i should write him!" well of course i never did because i never follow through with what i want to do....he came home november 19 and came to the singles ward a couple weeks later. the singles ward was my domain :) i love that place and immediatley went to him when he got there to start inviting him to all the activites and such...well the only way i could invite him was if i had his number :) so luckily i was able to have a great excuse to text him every once in awhile. he came to church a couple weeks later and sat by me and my friends and we talked THEE WHOLE time...i think everyone was slightly annoyed but i didnt really care haha after that he started hanging out with me and my buddies!! we had a ton of fun and i was starting to think "hey i think this boy actually likes me!! " i was super happy about it of course!! and then one night we went to a comedy improv and sam being his friendly self was friendly to my friend :( i of course took this the wrong way and thought he was into her and i gave up all hope and sent him her number that night so he could start talking to her...little did i know that he did like me and was superly bummed to find out that i was trying to pass him along to my friend. well for about two weeks me and sam would talk and hang out everyday all day talking about anything we wanted and just having tons of fun...

but still i kept on encouraging him to go with my friend and encouraging her to go for him as well! silly silly me!! well it was a thursday night and sam had finally gained the courage to take my friend on a date...I was secretely devastated but wanted the best for them :) i told sam i wanted to hear everything about the date and to come over to my house immediatly afterwards..he did so and i find out that the date (in his eyes) didnt go too well and that he wastn going to pursue anything with my friend...i of course am so happy about this but feel bad because i honestly thought sam liked her!! well long story short we cuddled on my couch that night obviously letting eachother know that we had a liking for eachother the next night we held hands the next we went on our first official date where we shared our first kiss and became officially together :) we have been INSEPERABLE ever since!!!

He is honestly everything i ever wanted in someone and more!!! i never thought there was someone out there like him!! and to think we lived down the street from each other the whole time!!! its amazing the way things work out in the end!!! i love him so much and his family too!!! i was so nervous i wouldnt get along with his family but i love them!!! they are honestly the best and we have so much fun together!! his little neices are the most adorable things ever!!! anyways life is great!!! i can not wait to see what the future holds!! i am definitely thinking it wil hold this .....and this......very very very soon!!!

ok everybody!!! i updated the blog!!! it has been 4 months since i have been to disneyland!!! so the pictures are finally here!! let me apologize in advanced that i dont understand the blogging world and i hate it when pictures are sideways but i couldnt fix it. so very sorry!!! just tilt your head and give your neck muscles some exercise!! this disneyland trip was so much fun!!! i made some great friendships that will never go away!! ALSO!!! pretty much all the pictures are backwards! so you are pretty much seeing my whole trip in rewind :) sorry about that another one of those blog things that was too frustrating to figure out!! so sit back and relax and look at all the pictures from one of the greatest trips EVER!!!

Me and Jamie being the Gleeks that we were.
While in Disneyland there were two jenessa in our group!! crazy huh. there is never double of me! So we gave me the nickname of Cheeto! so i finally got to take a picture of me by my letter :)

For any one who knows my story of me and Steve would know that peter pan is pretty much amazing! it will always be a part of me and steve! so of course i love the movie and loved this ride!!

I bought him a peter pan hat while i was there :) it was like having my own peter pan there with me i loved it!

ok so those who have ever been to disneyland or just hear people talk about it have probably heard of the restaurant that is in the Pirates of the Caribean ride. well guess what folks? WE ATE TEHRE! it was so cool actually being in there and watching people on the ride and feeling rich. well this was our ticket or 8 of us! $314.23!!!!! we were all shocked we knew it would be expensive but wow!! we loved it though!

the coolest restaurant to go too!! so worth it!!

Can i just say how happy i was to see that high school musical 3 was performing while we were there!! i think i sat there by myself and watched for about a half hour because i loved it so much!!! GO HSM!!!!!
I was secretly wishing that i would walk through this door and it would lead me to boo and i could reunite her with sully. i love this movie so much!!!

Some of the funniest movie characters ever!! again i LOVE this movie!!!

Gotta love cars!!! one of our few group pictures together!! well that we were all smiling anyways!! such a fun trip!!!

Michelle made a great new friend :) we think there was more than just an icee in his cup!! he was a little off his rocker!!

What a great way to use everything you buy. Marilyn bought this cute hoodie and there was a cute pink elastic around it. well why not use it as a cute headband!!

i feel like this picture describes mine and mardis friendship quite well. i do weird things quite often and she doesnt really understand why i do them. haha. her face shows that well.

just have to show off my amazingness here!! i finally defeated this game!! i was so happy about it!! it took me a very long time to actually do this!

one of THEE funnest rides at disneyland!!! i love this ride. i could go on it over and over again!! it so fun for all ages and even though i am really not good at the whole laser gun thing it was still fun to spin our car around and watch everyone else!!

YAY for meeting mickey mouse!!! another group picture of all of us!!! we got him right when he was coming out of the door so we didnt even have to wait in line :) it was pretty nice!!

Jamie with one of her favorite persons ever!!!

Me and Michelle with minnie :) she was so cute with all of the little kids!!

ok people i love icecream and i love pineapple... so ice cream + pineapple = my dream come true!!! it was so amazingle delicious i was so happy that they had this!! so so so yummy!!!

Jamie and her tiggertail :) she couldnt leave without getting one she was so happy about it!!

so i pretty much hate all of these characteres. haha i think they are the creepiest things on the planet. so i couldnt resist getting a picture with them.

Kenna and Marilyn forgot to have breakfast the first morning. so what do they have. stupid disgusting pickles!! eww eww double eww!!! but whatever suits them i guess!

so stinking happy to finally be there in the park!! we had so much fun!!!

what a true statement!!!

Our car :) it was pretty much amazing!! a 2010 Commander!!! such an amazing "situation"

WE MADE IT!! us at the airport!!

This picture has a little story behind it.this was my first plane ride ever!! i was so nervous/excited/aprehensive/scared/happy about it!! i was insane with emotion that day!! well a dear friend of mine was trying to scare me by telling me that i would not only get a window seat but that it would also be right on the wing so two things. one i would see the wing moving like crazy in the wind while we were flying, those things look like they are going to blow right off when you are up in the air. terrifying! and second that i would see a bird get sucked into the engine and all of a sudden my plane would crash because of it. i was a little freaked out when i sat in my seat and look out the window and there it is...the wing...

me and jamie at the airport!! getting so excited!!!

marilyn and jamie!! they pretty much planned this whole trip for us!! you guys are the best!!!!
