Girls Night

Rodger and I had plans to watch the girls on Saturday night. We then got asked to watch Jamie and figured we would bring her along. Rodger found out he had to show some homes and wouldn't make it until later on. Therefore we had a girls night and oh how it was fun!

The girls listening intently to Jamie reading

Happy One Year

February 16, 2008

Tonight we're eating the top half of our cake that we've saved all year.

Getting ready for the big day

Going to the Temple and we're......... gonna get marr-a-ied.

The happy couple

I can't believe it's been a year. It truly was a great day.  I love looking back on it and I wish I remembered more.  My mind was going crazy, but every time I looked at Rodger or kissed him, everything was perfect.  We've had a great year.  I can't wait for many more to come.

We went to Las Vegas over this weekend.  It was really relaxing and fun.  We shopped, slept in, ate at yummy restaurants, saw The Blue Man Group for the 2nd time on Valentines Day, Rodger gambled a little, I watched, we just enjoyed ourselves.  I didn't take any pictures at all except this simple little one.  It's when we saw Coraline in 3D, with our sexy glasses. 

I love you Rodger, thanks for being you.

*Just a few minutes ago I sold my wedding dress to a really cute girl getting married in June.  I got half for what I paid, I'm happy!  Her mom hugged me about 3 times. It's kinda funny it happen on this exact day.

We loved Coraline, the movie!

A Blast from the Past

A few nights ago I digged around and found my journal. I don't know why I wanted to find it, I just did. I was busting up laughing at how fantastic I truly was. I wanted to share this certain part because I think it's of some importance.

I was talking about how I really wanted to be in High School, I wanted to drive, I wanted to start dating, things like that. This next little bit is taken right from my journal.

July 20, 2003:"Yes, I do like someone, Rodger Jessop. I have for quite some time now, a little on and off, but not really. I just can't stop liking him. I'd really like to keep it a secret cause my friends just make fun of me cause you should see him. Long shaggy hair, used to be blonde, dyed it black, hopefully he'll dye it back. Um...he's just really cute. Funny, nice, you should see him with Jamie-little sister-so cute with her! I just really like him and can't stop thinking about him. I'll probably never get a chance because we are so different, but I'll never know."


*There are a few more journal entries in between these two, but not much. They just talk about my 2003 Summer days (laying out by the pool, watching Trading Spaces & While You Were Out, hanging out with friends), how my sisters are rude to me, especially Chelsea, and more of how I like Rodger) .


November 29, 2003: "Wow! Time sure changes. So Rodger takes me to school everyday. It was like 3-4 weeks into school and Rodger's friend was talking to my friend and told her that Rodger likes me and has for awhile! I was in such a good mood. So Gabrielle (my friend) was all like-really?! Cortney likes him too! Has forever. So of course he eventually finds outs and yes, he's my boyfriend! So my dream came true. On October 11, 2003 was my first "real" kiss with a boy I like. Hee. It was just a little peck-nothing else. A few weeks later he came in to kiss me and this time it was some tongue! (I can't believe I'm actually writing this, but it's priceless) I kinda pulled back cause I had been sick and didn't want him to get sick. He has a tongue ring. He took it out the next day, I bet it's because he thought I wouldn't kiss him. But ok-I really like Rodger. He's so fun to be around, so nice to me and everyone-I just like him a lot. It's weird because I know 99.9% of high school relationships never work out, but for some reason, I feel like I'm going to be one of those lucky ones. Anyways, I'm tired. Night. Love, Me."


Ok, enough of the journal. I totally forgot I had written all this stuff in my journal. I'm so glad I did. There is so much more to it, but I won't go into any more detail. I love the way Rodger and I met. We truly are High School Sweethearts!

Just look at that BLACK HAIR.

Would you even consider to hook us up?

Well it happed:0)

March of 2004-About the time he first told me he LOVED me. And oh how I loved him. Yes, we were young, so very young, but who cares. We loved each other, right?

About a Year Ago...

My Grandma Bennett had a Wedding Shower for Rodger and I.  Chels and Joe were in charge of the games.  I can't get enough of the idea they came up with.  I loved it.  Too bad nobody really "pinned a kiss" on Rodger, his lips are irresistible!

Babysitting Weekend

Oh how we love children.  We watched Ava & Caroline on Friday night. They are growing up too fast! We took them to Red Robin and enjoyed dinner. They are so fun to be around and we can't get enough of them. We love them so very much.

Caroline & Rodger

Ava and I 

Then on Saturday night we watched my cousins kids.  She has 3 little ones.  Chloe is 5, Maddie is 3, and Cash is about 6 months.  I hope those ages are correct, I'm pretty sure.  My sister Lindsey and her boyfriend Landon came with us.  We were sitting around the dinner table and Chloe said, "It would be nice if Rodger was the dad, Cortney was the mom, and the rest of us were the kids!"  It was pretty funny.  I told her she would miss her parents very much though, she agreed. I wish I had pictures, but I didn't have my camera.  It was a fun weekend!

Only If Dreams Really Did Come True

As were laying in bed last night watching our favorite show, Chelsea Lately, Rodger looks at me and says:
Rodger: "Do you know the 2 things I dream about the most?"
Me: "Rockclimbing?" (I answered this because the other morning he wakes up and says his arms are sore. I asked him why, he said because I was rockclimbing in my dream)
His answer to his 2 things he dreams about most are:
#1-He is in the field with Jack Bauer saving the world
#2-He is on the court with The Utah Jazz winning the game
This is why I LOVE my Rodger Bear. He cracks me up. I need to remember this on a bad day:)

Um...

Our good friend Abbie told us about this adorable dog. She saw it at a store called, The Garden Shop located right by Trolley Square. The owner has his dog roam around the store. We went there a few nights ago before we were heading up to babysit Caroline & Ava. Let me just say.....I'm in love! First off, the store is fantastic it's for home decor and has really neat stuff there and second the dog is what I want! It's called a Portuguese Water Dog. Rodger and I, as some of you know, bought a dog about 2 months after we got married. Big mistake. We sold little Belle about a week later. We believe in a few months we'll be ready for a dog and this time we'll stick with it. We understand it's a lot of responsibility, but I'm ready for it. I want to take walks around our adorable neighborhood, cuddle on the couch, play with it, love it, take a million pictures of it. I'm ready. The bad thing is.....Rodger may not be. He's been saying he wants a dog, but now when I've found the one I really want....he's taking a step back. I don't want to get one if it isn't right for the both of us. But I know he loves the dog as well. He says after our little 1st Anniversary trip, he'll consider it. Wish me luck.
