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.

Missing you...

I was sitting here thinking about how much I miss Brian because he is in Burley working so I wrote this poem and I don't care if anyone thinks it's cheesy.

I miss you when your gone
I feel so alone
I miss your body next to mine
I miss looking into your eyes
I want to feel your arms around me
I need to hear your voice
I miss your lips pressed against mine
I miss your hands running through my hair
I want to feel you breathing
I need you to be here
I miss your gentle smile
I miss your hand holding mine
I want to hear your laughter
I need to see you so badly
I can't stand it when we're apart
I want you to be home already
before it slowly breaks my heart.

Sunbeams

Today I recieved my very first church calling....teaching the sunbeams! I am so excited but at the same time I can't help but feeling a little nervous. I just hope I can do well. If anyone has any advice for me I would be happy to listen!

Grandparents

January 20th was my grandpa Moralez's 72nd birthday! My grandma Moralez's 74th birthday will on February 22nd. I just wanted to write about how thankful I am that they are a huge part of my life. They had a great influence in my up bringing and have always been there to support me in everthing I have wanted to do. They have helped make me the person I am today. I don't know where I would be without thier guidance and unconditional love. I just want them to know how thankful I am for both of them. They mean so much to me! I love you both so very much!!!

Ice Skating in Sun Valley

January 6th was my mom and aunt Becky's birthday. That weekend Brian and I and my mom and Gerald went to Sun Valley to celebrate. I had never been to Sun Valley before and Brian had never been ice skating so we were very excited to go! I always love spending time with my mom...she is the best :) Ice skating was lots of fun even though I spent most of the time falling on my bum attempting to do tricks. Brian was very good at it considering it was his first time. My mom never fell once...something that takes talent and Gerald could do turns with no problem at all. While we were there we saw two ladies who had been doing it all thier lives...it was amazing to watch. Sun Valley was a pretty place with all the snow and mountains around.

New Year!

Here we are 21 days into the new year of 2010 and I am barely getting this posted. PROCRASTINATION...maybe.
New Years eve was spent at Jeff and Holly's house in Emmett, where we ate snacks, played catch phrase and watched the ball drop on tv in Times Square. I can't believe how quickly time goes. 2009 was a year of many life changes. In April my grandpa Green (my mom's dad) passed away. He was such a wonderful man and is very missed. The Stoker family has had two little additions...Colton and Owen. Both are very adorable little boys. In October Brian and I were sealed in the Logan, UT Temple which brought about so many personal changes. That same month we were blessed to buy our very first home. We are so excited to start our own little family soon. 2009 was full of many memories. Here is to 2010 and enjoying all the moments it is going to bring.
