So I love the feeling when I'm right. This doesn''t happen very often with me. So when it does well I like to ... brag about it!! And on this special day it's with my husband ( I'm hardley ever right with him) So I had told him that how he was running some things wasn't going to work out so well and he told me "Don't worry it will work out and be fine don't worry about it"
Well today, God looked down on me and said " I love you Lindsey and I'm going to make your day"
I get a call from Brandon, we call each other alot though out the day, the perks of being self employeed. And he tells me what has been going on and well what he thought would be ok, wasn't. And me on the other end have a really big smile and the tone of " I told you so!"
So I give myself a big pat on the back and a hugh smile when I lay down tonight next to him! Ha ha ha, I'm right and you, well were wrong!
Sometimes, it helps to listen to your wife!!!! But I still love him!

When one pedel falls, another grows
Well my Grandpa passed away on March 13, 2008. And it was really hard, but at the same time I'm totally ok because I know that he is in a good place and also with my Grandma. It's been 9 years since she passed away. So I know that it was a really good reunion. And well when I went to see him on Tuesday and talk to him, he couldn't talk but he was concious. And I told him things that I wanted him to tell those in the family that had passed away too things and then things for him to remember. And well I just had felt like maybe he didn't get my message. So I woke up this morning feeling so good. I had had a dream about him and he said all the things I had asked him to do for me back to me and reassured me that he will always watch over me. And it was such a great feeling. I know where he is and I know he is happy. And that he will always be helping me and my kids. It's hard to know that I only have one set of Grandparents left. But I know that this isn't the end this is only the beginning, well actually, this is the middle, and the rest is yet to come. And I will see him again. What an amazing feeling that is, if only everyone could feel that way and know for sure like I do. I love you Grandpa Jackson Kilgore! Always and Forever! Your Granddaughter Lindsey

Well I just couldn’t wash it off, it’s too cute. Hadley loves to color. We color in her coloring books and on any paper we can find, and we trace her hand and everything. She loves it. Well she has become a painter or artist, something along those lines. She has descovered that she has a big canvas in the house, the walls. Yes that’s right, she will take a crayon, marker ( washable or permant) pen, pencile, anything she can get her hands on and walk up and down the hall and color. Well I just said I’m not going to clean it off cause I did once but with in hours she was back to coloring. So I just leave it and we will paint over it when we move. But she is so funny cause she knows she gets in trouble when she does it and I even have her clean some of it up. But all of a sudden you will hear her coloring and you run and she runs and it’s funny. But we have hidden all the markers and things but she will find one, somewhere and then she just goes to town! Its great! I can’t wait til I have our house and I can paint the walls so that she can color on them and but that chalk board stuff on too! It’s going to be so fun!
Here are just a few picutres of Hadley by her artwork! And Cleaning!!

One Fear to come true…
September 25, 2007
So I am a Mom, I have things that I never want to have happen to my children and then I have things that I do want them to do, but this was one that I didn’t.
We were on Vacation in North Carolina and it was Saturday the 8th of September, the day after my cousins wedding, that was so awesome, but the whole family had decided to go to the beach together, so I was with my aunt shelly, and we had to go and take the presents to Amy and Jamie’s house so my mom and brandon were in the Red car and Me the girls and Aunt Shelly were in the Escalade( ya we were riding in style!! I loved it! I want one!!) So we unload everything and my mom and Brandon leave first cause they had to stop and get formula and some things at the store so we set off to the beach and Aunt Shelly and I are having a wonderful talk, she is driving and I’m sitting next to Taylor, we are in the middle row, it has just the two seats, and Hadley is in the Middle of the back bench, and we are talking about family, why people do things that they do, how fun and hard it is to raise kids, just a fun talk, and we come to a stop and there is a red van in front of us and the next thing I know, BAM! We got rear ended! Yes that’s right I was in an accident with my children in the car! Can you say scare the shit out of me. I’ve never been in an accident before and now I’m in one with my children!! Man it was awful! My children are screaming I’m trying to stay clam but it’s kind of hard, and man Aunt Shelly jumps out of her seat, she is calling 911 and getting Taylor out of her seat and I’m getting Hadley out of hers, and in the mean time I’m trying to make sure they are ok, nothing happen to them. (We are on what they call the main road, cause it really is the main road on those Islands) and there are lots of people on the road, it was so weird cause normally there aren’t that many, but I jump out with Hadley and go over to the drivers side cause that is were the Medin is and a truck hit us, and a white car had hit him and we hit the red van, ya so crazy. The white car was a driver that was 20 and he never stopped, the truck was coming to a stop but wasn’t all the way, so we were the ones that stopped both of them! So every one is checking to see if everyone is ok and lucky everyone is. No one was hurt or injured, crazy. Well I call my mom and tell her so her and brandon come back cause they were ahead of us and then we call my Uncle Paul and let him know well, here’s the funny thing, my Uncle David is a Lawyer, and not just that he does the accident ones, so he was down for the wedding and at the beach with my dad, brother and uncle and the rest of the family so they all show up and oh man it was a mess, it was so crazy I’ve never been so scared before in my life! The cops said that if we weren’t in the SUV then we would of been in serious trouble, that SUV pretty much saved us from being really hurt! (Needless to say we have been thinking of getting me a car, or a Tahoe, well this just confirmed for us even more that with our children in the car we will get the Tahoe) But it was so scarey, this was one one of my worst fears coming true. But the Escalade wasn’t hurt that bad which is good for the kid cause that is an expensive car!! And to fix! But anyways, I’m ok but I still sitting at stop lights can hear the truck hitting us and the car slamming forward. I will have dreams about it also and I just know that I was blessed that day, someone was watching over us, and I know that if I wasn’t with my Aunt Shelly then something serious would of happened, cause she is so strong in her faith and had such a testimony and someone that I look up too, cause she’s not afride to say anything about our church and she is amazing, and my Uncle is the Bishop and I just know that we were blessed even more because of them. I’m just so glad that I have a family so strong and true to there faith and so loving and caring about there family. I love my family and I’m so grateful that we are ok.

One down too many more to count!
1 Year!!
August 22, 2007
So Brandon and I celebrated our 1 year Anniversary this past weekend. And it was so much fun! We decieded not to go to Bear Lake cause it was going to be bad weather so we went back up to Park City and man that was so much fun. We left Saturday around 2 and got lunch then drove up to Park City, Brandon likes to take the “back way” going threw Weber Canyon and Morgan so for ext. and then we checked into our Hotel and then we took a nap. That is what happens when you have kids! You just want to nap! But it was nice to just lay there together and just be the two of us. But after about 2 hours or so of “playin” and sleeping we wanted to go into “old park city” down were all the shops are by the ski areas. So we window shoped for about an hour or two and by this time we wanted to eat dinner so we walked up and down the street again deciding what to eat. So we decied on a Pizza place and we sat up on one of the balconys that over look the street, and that was so cool! It was so much fun! But it was starting to get cold so we then went and got Cold Stone Ice Cream, Brandon had never had that before then we went back to our room to go and sit in the hot tub and swim in the pool before it closed. Well that is when we found out that his Grandpa died, so it kind of put a damper on the evening but we knew it was for the best, so anyways, we went to the pool and hung out there for about an hour and then came back to the room, our room let me add was 2 queen beds so it was kind of funny, cause we decided to mess them both up so we jumped on both of them and it was so much fun! But then we got in our jammies and just cuddled most of the night, I wasn’t feeling too hot my stomach was really hurting from all the food we ate that day but it was a nice sleep, we both were just tired and just ready to go to bed, so we did. Well we woke up around 7, so much for sleepin in and we just stayed in bed until like 10 or so we of course “played” around so that was fun then we showered, together by the way (can’t wait to get our own place so we can do it some more! We love it! Oh Brandon washed my hair! Yeah that is romantic! And hot!) Then we checked out and went right over to the outlet mall, which was just down the road, and we went shopping for the girls and for us! I love shopping even Brandon had fun pickin out some of the clothes for the girls! He does have great taste, and in picking things out for me and him too! Then we went to eat at Ruby Tuesdays, and they put us in the same booth we sat at the year before! But that was so good, salad bar and a light lunch! Yummy! Then we went back up to the Older part of town up to the Alpine slides, we did them last year too! And it was so much fun! We got to ride the ski lift up just the two of us and we got our picture taken and we bought that! And then we raced down together and it was a blast! We have so much fun together it’s awesome! But we really missed the girls, Brandon would ask what I thought they would be doing and wondered if we should call, but I said no, it will just make Hadley cry, she does it even when my sister watches them and she calls me. so we knew we would see them soon.
But it was so fun, I swear when we went last year on our Honeymoon, it was like we were nervous to be with each other but this year, man it was a blast we joked around and we just well loved our time together, we talked about everything and we exchanged gifts and got our gift as a couple, a clock for our wall when we move and it was fun. We decieded to go back up later this fall and spend some more time up there, and do some more shopping for us! But as we joked, “One down, infentiy to go!” Wow, I love that man! And he loves me! What a wonderful beginning to a long life together!
PS I’ll post our pictures on here too.

This is us at Dinner. It was Yumo!
Here we are taking a Picture before we head back home!
Ok these were the funniest pictures! We took them ourselves (as I'm sure you can tell) but in everyone I was always standing close to the camera and Brandon was way far behind me. This was the only one that kind of worked out!! Too funny!
Gotta love Park City. So much fun!!!
Just for us
Reflecting on a year
August 6, 2007
Well I can’t believe that time is almost here, Brandon and I will celebrate our 1 year Anniversry on August 18. And I looked back today at everything we have gone through, not only the fights, and love, but just the fun times.
Yesterday, while we were getting ready for church, I had to smile at how my husband has grown. My shirt was wet from where my hair was laying on it while I put on my makeup. Well as I’m getting the last things ready, ear rings, necklace, Hadley’s clips to finish her hair, Brandon picks up the blow dryer and tells me to hold still (while he has his tooth brush and tooth paste in his mouth) and he dryed my shirt for me. It was so romantic. And incredibly sweet of him. He made sure the whole thing was dry. He then told me “I would of finished faster but I was holding down the cold button while I was drying it.” Funny boy! I love him so much, and I’m so glad that I’m just his and he is just mine, we couldn’t fit together any better. He tells me all the time, “I couldn’t of asked for anything better. You are the only one for me. We are perfect.” And it’s then that I love him even more. The kisses just keep getting better and better, and making love (sorry it happens) is the best! We have grown so much and I love him. I do. Some people say they are in love, but until you have been what we have been through, and still had each other to hold on to, and you have your moments that just live in your memory forever. That is when you know it’s love. When he talks to me about our Grandkids that we could have in 20 years or so and what he wants to do with them and places he still wants to take me and things we still look forward to doing. Goodness, you can’t help but get giddy and smile. My husband is the greatest father to our children. He will let me sleep some nights and get up with Hadley when she is crying and won’t stop. And I’ll wake up a few hours later and find them on the couch sleeping, with Hadley in his arms. It’s the most amazing thing in the world. He does so much not only for me but for my family and for his. They don’t see it alot but it takes alot for him to help and to show them that he does love them. I love it. I see it all the time and it’s amazing. I can’t wait to see what the next…… well…….. forever will bring us. We have our bad times, but we have more good than bad. It’s like some say you have to have the bad to get to the good. plus the make up is the best part!!!!! Ha ha ha! I love that! But a year! Wow, that has gone by way too fast! It’s amazing how fast life goes once you have children or married for that fact!
I can’t wait to go away with him for the weekend and to spend time together and to just be us, and to sleep together without having to throw our clothes back on cause Taylor has woken up to get a bottle or Hadley’s teeth are buggin her. To just lay with each other and breath the same air. There is nothing better than that. I look forward to our time with our children, but I also look forward to our time of Mom and Dad, Husband and Wife. Our trip to Bear Lake will go by so fast but it will be so worth it!
I love you Brandon, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.

Funny Hubby of Mine
Sex at the Doctor Office
April 6, 2007
So let’s just start by saying - not something you hear every day and mostly by your OBGYN!!!
So Brandon and I go to my doctor appointment this last Wednesday and he is checking me to see how much farther I am and moving up my due date. Well I haven’t progressed much and my doctor is surpised that I didn’t go into Labor that passed weekend (ya so am I!!!!) But anyways he’s talking to us asking questions about how I’m doing and what we have been doing to help move things along. Well this is when you know that you shouldn’t bring your husband to your appointment.
Doc ” So have you been jumping on a tramp?”
Lindz “No, my bladder wouldn’t be able to hold anything in!!”
(Ha ha ha from everyone)
Doc “So no walking or playing outside?”
Lindz “Oh yes we do lots of walking, she just doesn’t want to come yet I guess”
Doc “So you know there are things to help like running, jumping jacks, ect.”
Lind “Ya I know”
Brand “Ya we haven’t tryed any of those things yet”
Doc “So you haven’t been having wild crazy sex?”
(The look on Brandon’s face at this point is priceless!!! If only I could of recorded it!)
Blank stare from Brandon
Brandon “Well I have been trying to get her to play Basketball”
WHAT!?!?!?! What the hell does that mean? And no you haven’t!! (this is what I am thinking besides laughing my guts off inside my mind)
Lindz “No none of that recently. Maybe we should kick it up a notch!”
Laughing (Lindsey and Doctor) Brandon is still schocked that he asked if we have wild crazy sex!!
Oh this is just a priceless moment.

The NICU……
April 17, 2007
Well I had Taylor this passed weekend and to say the least I’m at home and she is still in the hospital in NICU. I’m pissed. And I just am so annoyed that I don’t have her home with me. I hate going to see her and having the nurses around me and telling me what I can and can’t do with MY baby. When I have to leave when I can come and visit and how to love my child. I just want her home with me where she can be held and loved and taken care of. I hate talking to people about what is going on I hate having to say I’m home and she’s not and I just get so pissed. The most annoying thing is not being able to hold her. They have all these cords and IV’s in her and it just really upsets me. I don’t want her in there I want them to give me a real date when she can come home not a guess and well let’s see how she acts, she is going to act the exact same until she is loved and held and taken care of like a mom is to do. I just get so upset and I’m so hurt and I’m so lost and depressed that I don’t have my baby. I don’t even feel like I’ve had her cause I’ve not been able to take care of her. It’s very annoying and I know there are other people out there that have it way worse off then me with there babies but I get so mad and I start to think well maybe it was something I did while I was pregnant with her maybe I didn’t do something right or I didn’t get enough of this or that, I just don’t understand. Sometimes the best medicane is love. And only a mom or a family can give that. I just want my baby and I want a date of when she is leaving, no guesses or we have to see how she is feeling crap. A date and put it in stone also. I know that she is in good hands and well taken care of but it’s very hard for me. And even thou I still have my family and Hadley I wish that I had my family together that we could all be together. Not apart like this. I know that Hadley knows that someone is missing and I know and so does Brandon but I guess this is something we are to go threw together as a family. We have to make sure that we are strong and able to handle things. Even when they are unexpected. We will be together soon but to me it’s just not soon enough. I can’t even talk to my family that calls on the phone or call other family members to talk about what is going on. Cause when I start to think about it and talk about it I start to cry and I get really upset and I hate it and it makes me so mad. But I have to be greatful that it’s nothing too serious and they are just making sure that she will be safe and I don’t have to bring her back into the hospital once I get her home. I just wish it was sooner that she would heal and be with me. I love my babies and I want them all under my roof. I don’t like that one is not with me. That I can’t check on her anytime I want and I can do it by walking into the room. Not driving to the hospital. Needless to say it’s un fun. I just want her healed and better. And I guess this is the best place for a newborn to be. I love my children and I love my husband and I’m truly greatful that I have them to lean on in this hard time. They have been my rock. And for that I love them even more.
So this was the day to bring her home. Well when we got to the hospital and saw her we broke down. They had put in IV in her head, also meaning, she's not going home today. I couldn't believe it, another IV and it was awful! My poor baby.
Nothing like Daddy and Mommy's love! 
Oh yeah, nothing was really wrong with her. She had some liquid in her lungs that she had shallowed while I was giving birth. And so they started to say it was all kinds of things and ran all these tests, it was nuts. Seriously nuts. And then, we had her on a Friday,the 13th, and we were going to take her on wednesday home, well they had the IV in her arm on Tuesday afternoon and when they had taken it out she had developed a rash on her arm and some of her chest, from where the tape was so that is why they had to put her back on the IV, it could of been oh whatever they can come up with, when it was really nothing. And once they put them on the IV with the antibiotic they have to stay on it for 3 days. So thus the long stay in NICU.

I’m in a point in my life where I just wonder, what would life be like if? I keep asking myself this. And you know what I don’t think I would want to change anything. Or if I did I would want to make sure that I still ended up where I am today. With my family.
We got to bring Taylor home finally on the 20th and durning those days while she was away we did alot of pondering. And after talking with Brandon about how our life has gone and what we have been put threw, we agreed that we are happy. We love our life and most of all, we love each other. I’ve never heard my husband tell me how much he loves me. Everyday since Tay has been born I always hear him tell me that he loves me and couldn’t live without me. And I’m just so happy that I have that to lean on. He may come off as harsh or un-loving or caring but he is. He is the most caring and loving guy I know. God has put us together and helped us in our struggles for a reason. We are ment to go threw things to find our strengh, not just in ourselfs, but in each other. I’ve seen a side to Brandon that noone has, and that is his love. His unconditonal love. He is such a blessing. And he wants so much for our family and works so hard for us. That there are days that if I think too hard about what he does that I will start to tear up. Never have I ever had anyone care that much to put so much on the line. I love my husband. I love that he wants to bless our children and to take me to the temple so we can be sealed. I don’t have to push or nag or drag him along. He is right by my side and we are walking down this path hand in hand step by step. We are together for a reason, and to some they may ask “how the heck did they get together? They are so different” She is such a “city girl” and he’s such a “country boy.” But that is the thing we have looked passed what people say, and the mean and hurtful things people say about my husband, and the rude and un-true things people say about me. Cause we have a love, a true love, that noone can break. So I say bring it on, if it makes you feel better then fine, but just know that we have moved on, we are getting on with life, we are happy. And no one can take that away from us. No One.
I feel that I need to say this, only because I’m moving on. And this is one way that I move on, I write, and I write what I feel. Which is the only and true way anyone should write. So to you I say “Goodnight”

We became ONE
It all started back in November of 2004. I was having fall out times with my parents and they had “kicked me out” of the house, I had 2 weeks to be out. And so I was going to move with my cousin Mandy into a town house up in Ogden. And I was staying up at my cousins house in North Ogden, I have the best Aunts in the world. Well on November 16, 2004, my uncle Wes died. Just all of a sudden and so I was just stayed up at there house for sometime. I’ve never been really close with these cousins, until that year. And my cousin Chase who is 6 months older than me, decied to set me up on a blind date after all the funeral things, cause he had re-conected with an ex of his and they got back together. So he said that we would double and it would be fun. So I said ok, thinking hey I’ve had some really crapy luck this year, maybe it will get better. Well the day comes, and all I know is that my dates name is Brandon, well that week I’ve been hearing nothing but “oh Brandon, good luck, with him.” from my cousin’s and it’s not like a good sound in there voices. I guess Chase and Brandon went to high school together and worked together also. So I’m excited, despite what they say, cause I’ve never been set up on a blind date before, so it should be fun. But the day comes and about an hour before we are to go out, my other coz, Zeb, he is a year or so younger than me. Is like “did you know Chase told Brandon that you are ‘easy’ and so that is one reason he’s going out with you” Ya so pissed at him I didn’t want to go. But I decided that I would make this date HELL for chase and he would regret what he had done. So next thing I know this diesel pulls up in front and there is a knock on the door and Brandon walks in….
Background on Brandon: COWBOY! He was a bull rider in high school, in the FFA(Vice Pres), worked on the dairy, had dated a cowgirl for 2 years and was engaged to her and thought he was the shit.
So in walks Brandon, wearing tight pants with holes in them and thermals under, he had a nice butt in them. But just not what I expected. Cowboy, cowboy. Note he did not have on boots! he did have on “work” boots but not cowboy boots. Well Brandon again, went to school with my cousins (Chase and Zeb) so he also knew my Aunts other kids and well ya they all knew each other. I was thinking the whole time, HIS JEANS ARE TIGHTER THAN MINE! SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we leave to go and get Becki, Chase’s girl, and then to eat. Well I walk out side and guess what is sitting there, the truck I’ve always wanted, a Dodge Diesel. Oh my goodness nothing is sexier than that. And it’s got a lift and nice tires and oh man, let’s say it’s a good thing he had the truck, scored points on that one. But anyways, we pick up Becki and then I hear “So where do you want to eat?” What!?!?! Chase said they had it all planned out - no they didn’t. So we end up going to Applebee’s and I’ve not said much the whole time so far - cause I’m still pissed at Chase - well it’s a Friday night and it’s packed and noone had really stepped up to put our names on the list so I did. And I’m trying to “act” like I’m having a good time, but really all I can think is, I want to go home. So we get seated and I’ve not eaten here too much so i don’t really know what to get, well I ordered the Feista Lime Chicken and Brandon got the Take Two (They don’t offer that anymore) (oh these have become what we always order here now.) But I texted my sister that this date was lame and Becki wouldn’t really talk and so it was mostly Chase and Brandon talking. So food comes and we eat and try to make small talk, and after I think ok well they atleast have to have something planned for after - again No. It’s a so what do you want to do now. OH HELL. So Brand decieds to go out to Willard and go “muddin” So we all agree. Well Chase and Becki are in the back cab of the truck and I’m hugging the door (not really but that is what they said I look like) So Chase is all move closer to him blah blah blah, and we stop so that Chase and Becki can sit up front with us, So I have to sit right next to brandon now, I have to touch him!!!! But that was fun, the muddin, I really enjoyed that cause I’d never been. Well the night is starting to come to an end and we drop off Becki and we go to my Aunts house, cause Chase lives there and so am I at the time. Well he gets out and so it’s just me and brand in the truck and we start our small talk - well 3 hours later I walk into my aunts house to go to bed. We talked the entire time! And the whole time we are getting along perfect and he has just really impressed me with his life and what he wants to do in life and all kinds of things, I don’t say too much cause I didn’t want to sound like some girl that agreed on everything with him. But we exchange phone numbers and say we will go out again. Or something like that.
Well the next night everyone is asking how it went blah blah blah and Chase asked me do you want to go out with him again? I was like sure so what does he do CALLS HIM!!!! And says I want to go out that night!!!!!!!!!! FREAK! Well Brandon doesn’t believe him so I have to talk to him, and not wanting to be mean I say yeah I do so we do, it’s just the two of us this time. Brandon at the time just lived down the road from my Aunts house so he was there in like 3 mins. So we leave and take a “drive” Remeber he is a cowboy, so we head to the mountians and we go to Kosey Dam. And it was BEAUTIFUL! (Note: Our first date was December 3, 2004) So it was a full moon, snow on the ground, the dam was frozen over and not a cloud in the sky. And we park at the overlook, and me being the funny girl I am, am thinking, “great, he is going to try and kiss me! LAME.” So I was trying not to let it happen. And he is like I’m gonna sleep, so he lays his seat back, and I’m still thinking the same thing. So the end of that night comes and it’s late when we get home I mean we talked and I don’t remember about what but it was enjoyable. Well that week we text each other and flirt on that and we end up hanging out that next weekend and the next, and the next my family is making cookies at my parents house and we think it will be fun to go down and have brandon meet my parents, cause he hasn’t yet. So we head on down, like all of my cousins and we played a game while everyone was making cookies. And Brandon and I flirted and stuff the whole time, it was fun. (Note: By our 3rd date, which was that sunday after our first I knew I was going to marry him, I just didn’t want too many people to know yet!!) Well he meets the family and my parents and they hit it off GREAT! WHAT!?!? That wasn’t suspost to happen! They are suspost to hate my boyfriends! (Another note: we still have not kissed yet) Well Christmas comes and he goes with me and my family on Christmas eve to see the lights and my nephews and neice take to him right away! They love him and want to go in the truck with him. It was cute. So he does the lights with us and everything else we do on christmas eve. Well come Christmas Night we hang out again and he’s gotten me a GIFT!!!! Crap! Has Lindsey gotten him anything? No! So I text my cousins like what am I suspost to do? Cause I told him oh yours is up at Chases house, thinking they have something lying around or run to the store type of a thing for me. Well, he got me a CD, and Hoodie, and some candy. It was really cute and sweet. So we go up to there house and I give my cousins some money and tell them to find something for me, so they go to the gas station, Flying J to be exact, and they got him and shirt, a key chain with his name on it a calendar, some Stedson cologne and a fleece blanket!!!! OH my RED NECK GIFT! But it was a nice blanket, I still have it and I used it all the time!
Well that night we go to hang out with my cousins and there friends, which are also brandon’s from high school. And after that me and brandon go for a “drive” we ended up just parking and talking. And the topic of why we haven’t kissed comes up. And he tells me he just wants to make sure it’s right. And i’m looking at him sideways with my eyes and he asks me not to do that, and puzzled I ask why, and he says cause it makes me want to kiss you, and I say so why don’t you. Well ****Magic**** I will never forget that kiss and that moment. And neither will Brandon, we’ve talked about it many times. We both have never experienced a kiss like that. One that said “yes” well it was just a kiss nothing else and I swear it lasted like 3 hours it was perfect, the movie kind of kiss. Well we pull away some and Brandon looks in my eyes and says “yes, this is right. Being with you is right.” I’m still amazed at the kiss and how I feel inside and I got chills when he told me that cause I was hoping he felt the same also, and he did. And that my friends is how we started. We have been with each other almost, about a week and a half not, since then. We have been the best thing for each other and wow looking back it’s been wonderful. We have been the best of friends. We don’t hide anything from each other. And we have spent every night in each others arms. Nothing more wonderful than that. Oh Bliss, what a wonderful beginning!

A day in the life of ... ME!
Well about me. I guess if you don’t know anything about me you will after reading this! I’m a pretty interesting person, I tend to think. I’ll start first with my family and then move into personal!
To start, well I was born January 6 1985 to Jesse and Sue. I was welcomed into this world by my sister Jenny, who is 7 years older than me (this may be important to know for future blogs, we have difficulties at times) my oldest brother Adam who is 5 years older than me and we butt heads at times but we get along pretty good! And my other older brother Nathan, who is 3 years older than me. And we get along really well. So this means that I am the youngest - to some this means spoiled, and un-liked by the other children. Sorry I can’t change where I was placed in line and I can’t change how my parents have changed over the years also (I’m kind of bitter toward this comment, if you can’t tell, my older siblings have made me come to hate this comment) I much like some of you have had my hard times with everyone in my family but we get along pretty good, cause like it or not I am stuck with them FOREVER!!!! So they of course are also stuck with me! Ha ha ha, what a fun trick God has played on all of us!!!! I laugh with him at times!!! I also have 2 nephews and a neice, Travis is 11, oh that makes me sound so old! Krysta is 9, and becoming quite the teen already, and my baby Hunter is 6. Yes I am an Aunt. I’m 22 years old and I’m just enjoying life! (The way it was ment to be)
But I was born in Norfork, VA and I lived in Manteo (Man-e-o) NC for the first 2 years of my life until I moved to Richmond, VA where I lived until I was 8 and then that Oct we moved to the wonderful state of Utah, where I reside, as of now. So people say that I’m a Utahn, whatever that is, but I consider myself a “tar heal” (meaning from North Carolina). I love when I get to go “home”, I call it home cause that is where almost 3/4 of my family is and my grandparents. I haven’t been back since my senior year, I went with my parents as a surprise. And I miss it every year, mostly in the summer, there is nothing like the beach and the ocean. If you have never been back “east” you are missing out. But I’m sure I’ll make it back very soon. But to move along in life. I graduated, just barely, from Davis High, in Kaysville. I found out the day of Graduation that I would be, ya that’s fun story, it may become a blog. But and since then not too much has happened, I worked at Mervyns, Convergys, for my Sister (her nanny), Living Scriptures (please don’t laugh, it payed the bills), and Bell Photography (that had to be one of the best jobs, I truely miss it), and currently stay at home mommy/ business owner.
Well personal time. I am a memeber of the LDS religion, yes the “Mormons” ( I don’t understand why people call us this, I don’t walk around calling other religions “Caths” or “Luths” whatever). I am married to Brandon Manscill (Man-sell) and I will tell the story of me and my husband in a blog, cause it’s kind of long. I was married on August 18, 2006. And I also have a daughter, yes we had her out of wedlock (meaning just what you think) We had Hadley Paige Manscill on April 21, 2006 and she is almost 1, and the best thing that the two of us have made! And I am expecting another girl any day now to be exact! Taylor Lynn Manscill, I’ll let ya know more when that happens. But we are so happy, and yes it is true, marriage is not what the shows make it out to be, but I love it! And kids, wow, what a wonderful gift from God, and I pray I don’t screw up being a mommy and teaching my children. They are work, but they are worth it! I highly recomend them! You learn alot about yourself and your spouse with them. It’s great! We will be going threw the temple to be sealed as as a family, hopefully, soon. We are excited about going and having our babies with us. I will keep you informed. But Brandon and I live with my parents, we have for over a year, but we are also paying off back debt. Which has been such a blessing. We help pay for things here at the house and we also have a nana who loves to watch her baby! That is so nice also! I’ve learned alot from my mother and father from living with them and having children. I truely have grown and so has Brandon. But we will be moving out at the end of June. We share a room with the ‘girls’ and that is hard and tiny and frustrating at times. But cool also at the same time!
I’ve had a good life, I’ve not done alot of things that I want too, but who is to tell me when I can’t do them anymore? I’m so excited about my life and my future and the trials (yes, I have to act excited cause I know they will suck) and the good and bad times. I’m so excited to have my own family and raise them with the most wonderful man, the man of my dreams, hopes and everything else I imaged when I was little. I can look back on life and wish things had never happened, like most people do, and I can look ahead and know that I am ok, I will make it, I am strong and I love my life. I like living in Utah and I’m excited to move around (again, another blog) This world has yet to see the end of Lindsey Anne Spencer Manscill. It’s just beginning! I love that I have the freedoms that I do and the knowledge that I have gained. This life has been amazing and I know this is just the start of me….
