Anniversary

Tony and I just barely celebrated our one year anniversary. We had a fantastic time. We celebrated most of our special day on Saturday instead of Sunday. In the morning Tony told me he had a church meeting to go go and I believed him because he has been to meetings every other week. Instead he left me in bed sleeping, went to the store and got flowers, a lovely vase, and a card. Once I woke up we got showers then we decided to go by in n' out and get some burgers and fries, and take them down to Springville to have breakfast with my family. Once we were done visiting all of our family down there we came back home and got all ready for the night. Tony took me to Sears and we got our pictures taken, and then we went to Applebee's and had a fabulous dinner. Then we came home and watched a movie together and then fell asleep.
On Sunday I got a little sick so we missed church, but as the day went on I felt better. For dinner I made lasagna, breadsticks, a salad, and a cake. Then we watched another movie.
I loved our anniversary. It is so wonderful to know that through all the bumps in the road we are able to stand side by side and accomplish things together. I love Tony with all my heart.

Day 8 - Short Term goals for this month and why

My short term goals for this month is to complete my whole workbook for my class, get the whole entire house how I want it, put up a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations, study for all my tests, finish up all my undone projects. The reason I want to finish my whole workbook is so I can get through my class faster so hopefully I will be able to get a job and then I will be out of class full of immature high school students with some immature adults. I would like to get the whole entire house clean and organized so it will finally be done and it will feel like home. I want to put up a Christmas tree because I am way excited to get to decorate one and I just love the season and all the decorations will help me feel more into the Christmas spirit. I want to study for all my tests so I can pass them all on the first round and so I can again get out of a class and away from all the immature people. I want to finish all my unfinished projects because then I will feel accomplished and I won't have projects sitting out everywhere.

Day 7 - Something or Somebody that has a huge impact on me

Family has a major impact on my life. I would have to say without Tony and I don't know where I would be today. Without my mom I probably wouldn't know some of the things I know today. My dad has a huge impact on my life because he does so much for me -- he has been there for a lot of things. I know right before my Tony's and I's wedding I was having a hard day and my dad had me sit by him on the couch and he just gave me a huge hug and just let me let it all out and he helped me out so much. Tony's family has a impact on me because they let us move in with them right after we got married. I wouldn't really know them without that. I am grateful for me whole entire family -- Extended, Immediate, A mom and dad, brother, Parents-in-law's, sister in laws, brother in laws.

Day 6 - favorite Superhero and why

I think my favorite superhero would be The Savior. Why would he be my superhero. Well lets break the word down.

Super - of the highest degree, power, etc.
Hero - a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities

The Savior is at the highest degree and is a man of distinguished courage and ability.

The Savior has played a huge role in my life. I couldn't be where I am today without him. He has done so much to help me on my way through life. I love my Savior. I look up to him. Everyday I try to be more like him by being Christ-Like.

Day 5 - A picture of somewhere I've been

This is me in downtown Sacramento California

Day 4 - A habit I wish I didn't have

There are lots of habits I wish I didn't have. Just to name a few they would be biting my fingernails off, leaving dishes for the next day that becomes the next day, putting off stuff for tomorrow, going right behind everybody when they move and cleaning up. One of the biggest habits that I wish I didn't have is becoming angry with stuff when it isn't any big deal. Like when I don't feel like I did well on a test and then I get really mad at myself when I got an 80% instead of a 90%.

Day 3 - A picture of me and my friends

Ok, well since this is a blog about both Tony and I, I found a picture that has both of our friend(s) in it. Scott and Sam (both of the guys) are Tony's friend and then Jamie (Red dress) is my friend.

A little catching up.

Wow! How time has gotten by me. I know I promised pictures of our new apartment but I am trying to get everything in order before I take pictures. What has been going on in the Lefler household you may ask -- well lets see here. Tony and I have both been called to new callings in our new ward. I am now a cub scout den leader. Tony is the Assistant Ward mission leader. I am almost half way through school now and I am enjoying every minute of it but I am looking forward to being out of classes and being in the real field doing hands on stuff. Tony is working for an electrical company in the Salt Lake area and going to school while he works. We are both trying to get back into uvu. I would love to do some continuing education. (Yes, If I could make school a career and get paid for it that is what I would choose.) Tony wants to get back into uvu so he can actually get a different career path than the one he has now. We have almost been married a year and what a wonderful year it has been. We have loved every minute of it. I know some people think that we are silly but we absolutely enjoy laughing and having fun together. Life is great at the Lefler home. And we are looking forward to another wonderful year together. We are very excited for the many new things to come like: my graduation and One of Tony's AWESOME brothers to come home from his mission.

Our New Place

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would make a quick fill in. We have a new apartment. It's two bedrooms and 1 bath. It is just perfect for our little family. We are way excited to get to decorate and start a new chapter in our lives. There will be pictures coming soon.

Catching up

So I have been a slacker and I haven't posted anything in a while. So, I thought I would catch up now before too much more time passes me up, or before I get busy with school. We had a great conference weekend. We stayed in P.J.s and put together puzzles, I played with my cricut, Tony worked on their business' website, I made Easter dinner for the first time, last week my cousin's had spring break so they came over and spent some time with Tony and I, Tony started playing on a work softball team and he is pretty excited about that. And finally we celebrated my 20th birthday. It has been an amazing past couple of weeks.

Easter

As we approach this Easter season, it is a priceless blessing to know that Jesus Christ lives, that He is the Redeemer and Savior of all mankind and the Son of God. We declare to all that Jesus Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

The first Easter, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the greatest and most significant miracle of all time.

We testify that the Resurrection was literal and real. Our Savior brought to every person who will ever live on this earth the privilege of once again having a body, of living again. Even though it has been nearly two thousand years since the Savior lived on the earth, His teachings still apply today. He gave us a practical guide for living in peace.

We urge all people to search the Savior’s life for truths that will guide and give meaning to their lives. He died that we might live. We worship Him and invite all to do likewise.

I am excited to be able to spend Easter with my husband and family.

  
  

  

  
  

Video for Easter

He Lives

I thought that this video was fitting for Easter. Enjoy.

First Christmas Together

This past Christmas was Tony and I's first Christmas together. In the morning we got up to a phone call from his brother (Corey) on his mission. We talked to him for a while and that was really great. Loved hearing his voice. It is always so amazing to talk to a missionary. Then we opened some presents at his parents house. Then we got all showered up and everything and then went to my parents and spent the rest of the day with my parents, opening presents, hanging out, and eating dinner. While we were at my parents house we went to his brother's house and hung out with him and his family.

This is a video of Early Christmas Morning -- it is a tradition in their family for two people to play 'Santa' and so being as this was my first Christmas with his family I played 'Santa'

Our Wedding Scrapbook

For a gift (from the friends and neighborhood bridal shower) we received two red scrapbooks so I decided to make a scrapbook of the engagement pictures for the display table at the wedding. Once I get wedding pictures printed off I will finish it so it will be complete. These pictures are from the scrapbook. Since the pages were in protectors some of the pictures have spots where there is extra light and you can't see.
