Some homes try to hide the fact
That children shelter there.
Ours boasts of it quite openly,
The signs are everywhere.
For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges on the door;
I should apologize I guess,
For the toys strewn on the floor.
But I sat down with the children:
We played and laughed and read.
And if the doorbell doesn’t shine,
their eyes will shine instead.
For when at times I’m forced to choose
The one job or the other,
I want to be a homemaker
But first I’ll be a mother.

OUR ICKY LOVE STORY

Joseph and I met in May of 2004, at the BYU-Idaho girl's dorms in Rexburg, Idaho! My roommates and I put on a dinner for a guy and his roommate, who invited his next door neighbors (Joe and Nate, Joe's roommate). Confused? Good, it gets better. Joe didn't really notice me and I didn't really notice him. I began dating the guy we invited over and because Joe was his next door neighbor we thought, "Hey, group dates!!" I actually felt bad for Joe because he was sooo shy, go figure! So, I set him up on dates with all of my friends and roommates. Sweet, huh? Well after my relationship ended I needed a friend. So that's where Joe came in. He'd talk to me about anything and everything and I felt so comfortable around him because, well, he was just a friend, right? One day I started to notice that Joe and I had a lot in common, quite a bit, really. I also started to notice just how cute he was. So, I started to work my magic. After hints of us going on dates and then finally having to ask him out myself, twice! I had tried a lot of my usual stuff, but Joe wasn't getting the hint! So, I told him that we would have cute kids, with his green eyes and my red hair. Still NOTHING!!! Then it hit him, he turned to me while "watching" TV at my apartment, which he was always at, and said, "Hey, maybe we should start dating." DUH!!!! So that night, July 5th, 2004 we went to the Independence Day fireworks celebration in front of the Idaho Falls temple and had some fireworks of our own . . . our first kiss! Fast forward 20 days, that's right, twenty!!! We'd spent every possible moment with each other (our transcripts will prove it) and we'd said our prayers and voila!! He proposed!! We were married December 18th that year and there's been nothing but craziness and love ever since!!!
