Valentine's weekend...

On Friday we had our employee appreciation breakfast at work. They do it once a year. Our bosses make and serve us a yummy breakfast and do recognition awards. I feel very blessed to have the job I do.
Saturday night Brian and I had a double date night with our friends Danae and Tyler. We went over to thier house and made homemade pizza and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. Danae was so nice and made me a brownie cake for my birthday with a candle I could make a wish on :) We spent the night watching a movie, playing Just Dance and the board game called Things. It was soo much fun!
On Sunday, Valentine's Day, Brian and I went to church. It was my first day with the sunbeams. There are thirteen of them but not all of them are always there. I am team teaching with another sister who is experienced so it makes me not as nervous. Sunbeams are so full of energy and it definately helps with two of us. There is nothing more humbling than hearing a child say a prayer. After church Brian made me dinner, chicken alfredo with garlic bread. One of my favorites. We spent the night talking, laughing, and listening to music. I am so blessed to have Brian as my husband ♥

My 22nd Birthday!

Wow...honestly I can't believe how fast time goes! My grandma Moralez was so sweet and sang me Happy Birthday over the phone. After work, Brian took me out to dinner at P.F. Chang's (Chinese food) and it was amazingly delicious. I have been wanting to go there for over a year because of all the good things I've heard. Then afterwards we came home and he gave me my birthday gift...a game for the wii called Just Dance that I haven't been able to find anywhere. Let's just say we rocked it and MC Hammer's got nothing on us :)




Thank you for all the Birthday wishes!
And thanks babe...for all you do! You are amazing!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!

I just wanted to write Sierra a Happy 22nd birthday to her! Sierra means the world to me and I am so very grateful that I get to grow old with her, and after this life spend an eternity with her! What a wonderful blessing it is to have a wife who loves to make you dinner, make you smile, or give you a nice foot rub! :) Sierra has put up with a lot from me, but she is always there to love me just the same or maybe even a little more when we conquer disagreements or whatever it is!

I love you Sierra Lynn Moralez Stoker!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!

Our Love Story ♥

Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner...I just wanted to share our love story.

In November of 2006 was the first time Brian and I had ever met. He grew up in Declo while I grew up in Burley, never going to the same school together. That was the fall after I graduated and Brian had just came back from Chicago. I was involved with (other boy) and Brian had just gotten his heart broken by (other girl). So needless to say...the first time I had met Brian it was with (other boy) at my side. Love ast first sight no...but I do remember thinking that we could definately be friends. The following year around February both Brian and I were single for a few weeks and during that time we started talking a little. We both hadn't talked to each other since we had first met. After that I ended up getting back together with (other boy) and he got back together with (other girl) so we stopped talking to each other. That same year in June we were both once again single at the exact same time...fate...I like to think so. My best friend JoyAnne was dating Brian's best friend Scott through out all this time and they kept telling us to go on a date that June. One night I was at my mom's in Burley and Brian was in Emmett at his brother's and we happened to be on the computer at the same time and he instant messaged me. We got to talking and then he asked me out on a date to go see the movie Pirate's of the Carribean. And I remember him talking about his nephews rubber duckie and I thought that was the funniest thing. So the next week we went on our first date and afterwards we sat in his car just talking and laughing. No first date kiss...that didn't happen til later. But I just rememeber feeling so comfortable with him...and the weeks went on and we went on more dates. And the four of us friends all hung out. Then around the end of July...(other boy) decided to come back into my life, promising to change and wanting to be with me again. So I decided to break it off with Brian because I still had feelings for (other boy) that needed to be worked through. Brian was very understanding, the most understanding guy I had ever met before. So there I was, my heart torn in pieces and my mind going in two directions. I admit that was one of the most unstable times in my life. My heart had been broken a thousand times by (other boy) and Brian knew exactly what I was going through because (other girl) had broken his heart lots of times too. A few weeks passed by and I knew I had to make a decision. The time came where I knew I had to break it off with (other boy) once and for all. In my heart and in my mind I knew Brian was who I was ment to be with. So I said good bye to (other boy) for the last time. I knew Brian was the one I couldn't live without. He was my prince charming. The sweetest guy I knew. So here we are three years later after we first met. Married for one and a half of them :)
Complicated love story...yes. But I can honestly look back and say there are no what ifs. Ask me if I still feel Brian is the man I'm ment to be with and I'll say...definately...with no doubt in my mind. My love for him grows stronger and deeper each day.
