Happy Valentines Day!...even at 364 miles apart...

Ok my plan for this blog was to start with mine and Kade's "story"...ya know, all the cute high school love stuff.  How we met, first date, first kiss, all of that.  But before that, of course I have to write about Valentine's Day!  Every girl's favorite holiday, right?  Ok, maybe just every engaged girl's favorite holiday.  Lucky me! :)  Anywho...so I come storming into my apartment this morning after taking my humanities test that was way harder than necessary, venting to Kassidy, my sister, on the phone along the way.  I kick off my shoes at the door and headed upstairs.  When I walked into my bedroom, my mouth dropped, along with my backpack and my keys, to the floor.  "Oh my gosh, i'm gonna cry!" I interrupted whatever it was that Kassidy was telling me.  "What's wrong?!", she was all concerned.  My room was covered in paper hearts and there was  dozen roses on my desk! I really hadn't been expecting anything from him because we'd decided we would celebrate V-day when I went up north this weekend.  You haven't even heard the cutest part yet! Writen on each of the little hearts was a part of a texting conversation that we had in HIGH SCHOOL!!! Can you believe he still had it?! It was a WAY cute conversation that we had way back when! I just cried as I read through it...I just miss him so much! Isn't he the best?!
I love you babe! :)

Once Upon a Time....

Once upon a time there was a handsome young man named Kade Erickson.  At the beginning of his senior year in high school, he found himself falling in love with a young lady named Jacki.  It just so happened that she was fancying him as well....to say the least.  The two high school love birds began to make many memories together and grew more and more fond of each other as time went on.  Before they knew it, it was time for Kade to embark on a journey that would be challenging, but oh-so rewarding for the both of them.  He had been called by the Lord to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints in the Columbia, South Carolina mission.  The mission would last for two years and would be quite a journey for both of them.  While Kade taught the gospel to the people of South Carolina, Jacki stayed in Utah to finish high school and begin her college education at Dixie State.  They both learned countless, incredible life lessons during these two years and were so grateful for the opportunities they had.  But when his mission was over, they were excited to be together again.  It didn't take long for them to fall in love all over again.  By that following Christmas, they were engaged to be married.  Kade and Jacki are so excited to have their own Happily Ever After.  They have learned many wonderful lessons and been so blessed throughout their journy thus far.  They look forward to the many fantastic adventures that lie ahead of them and have felt a desire to share those adventures with the ones they love.  What better way to do that than a blog?! This century's version of a story book! I hope you all enjoy reading about their fairytale.
