Best 4 years of my life*

Did you think that I was only goin to put one picture up this year for our anniversary?? Yes. so did I but when I went through them I cant just pick one.. their all my favorites:) I'm sure that I put the same ones on last year.. and the year before that but at least I will have lots of memories of them.. of that special day.
I cant believe its been 4 years..... Somedays I feel like I should be goin over to his apartment and other days I feel like man how are we not 70 years old yet.. haha jk its not that bad! How does someone even begin to some up their love for someone.. in this case I never will. Jake is my better half. I love the person that he is and that the person he has turned me into. He is always so positive and doesn't have a mean bone in him. He is the hardest workin person I know. I love that he can fix anything.. and I mean anything. He is the best daddy in the world and little Pais loves him ever so dearly:) I love the way he looks at her.. I love the way he looks at me. I love his family so so much and I'm so grateful they let me marry him and treat me like their own. I cant wait to see what life brings us.. He is nearing the end of his school days forever and I am so happy. Pais and I cant wait to have our love back and to have a "normal" family life again. I'm grateful for Jake and for all that he does for me and for the life lessons he has taught me.. how did I get so lucky? I wish that I could relive that day again.. so so beautiful and I will never forget the feelin I had when we were knealin across the altar lookin into each other eyes and just the love that I felt for him was almost unbearable.. I never thought that love could get deeper and stronger but man was I wrong. I love that Jake man so so much.. So glad I get to cal him mine..... Forever and ever:) Happy 4 years my lover love!!!

Madsen siblings and spouses

I am goin to miss Aunt Debra so so much. I along with many others had a very hard time with her death. I love that she is not in pain anymore and doesn't have to suffer anymore. From the moment I met Aunt Debra she has been the sweetest lady ever.. she would have done anything for anyone. At the funeral Mike told a story of his mother and he was telling us a few years back all of the Madsen siblings were on vacation and they were walkin back to their hotel one night and they had passed some hookers on the street and everyone was kinda lookin around at each other and once they got back to the hotel they were talkin about the hookers and how could anyone do that and Aunt Debra was like who are you guys talkin about and they had mentioned the hookers that they had passed and she was like "oh those nice young pretty ladies" hahaha she never saw the bad in people and was always positive..Kristyn, Tom, Jake and I got the privelage to sing " If the Savior stood Beside me" and it was such a pretty accompaniment. I kept thinkin about her 4 little grandchildren and how sad for them to lose a grandma at their young age. I lost my Grandma Blad when I was 8 and I feel like she has been gone forever. I'm so grateful for the memories that I made with her and I'm sure that those grandchildren will be raised knowin her as if she is still here. She was such a beautiful lady who will be missed so much. Aunt Debra give my mom a hug for me as I'm hopin you guys have already met. Can't wait to be with you again. xoxoxo
