Hope this works... An other great idea from Hemi Hemara...

27

Being 27 was one of the best years of my life. I've learned a lot, so much has happened and changed and here's what it is...

A:

Everyone knows I wasn't ready for baby #4 when I first heard I was pregnant but it seemed like towards the end of the pregnancy (27 years old) I excepted it and put all my faith in god and his timing.

B: I couldn't be more happy with my Family. I LOVE having 4 kids and feeling so complete.

 

C: I've never worked on my Spirituality as much as I have this past year and I've seen how much I've been missing out in years past. I've learned if you aren't progressing in your spiritual level your just idling or going backwards. I love reading a story a day from the ensign, trying really hard to read the scriptures by myself and putting myself out there by participating in church functions, and callings. It honestly gives you a joy that you cant find anywhere else.

 

D: Hard work pays off. We have been saving and dreaming of the day to have a single family home. It always looked like everyone else was getting into single family homes so easy and had it all with out trying. We saved for 4 years and finally were able to buy a house better then we ever thought we'd have.

I've seen the Lord's Hand in my life so much this last year.

When I was 27 I've learned so much of what matters most, and who I want to be.

I think 28 will be just as great.

we had so much fun doing this at midnight.

A New Chapter

It's Only the first half of 2013 and our year is filled with such new and exciting things.

 

One day Hemi noticed the velue of our home went up and we deicded we needed to sell it.

We put it up and it sold in one week.

 

 We saw this hous pop up on the market, but Hemi had to work that day so with my parents I went to see it and FELL IN LOVE! It was more then I could ask for in a home.

While Hemi was at work, with out seeing it we put an offer on it.

a couple things that sold me on it was the basement livingroom.

and this backyard/deck. We are LOVING our new house.

We love the space we now have.

 

Our other big change was Hemi Graduated from The University of Phoenix.

We are both SO glad to have him done.

I am so grateful for my dad, my brother and his family to come support Hemi at his graduation.

Also for my sister to babysit my little Adelaide so I could actually enjoy myself at the graduation. ;)

 

After his graduation we went to the Cheesecake factory to celebrate.

 

Hemi has worked for Herriman City for 6 years and now got a new position with in their IT department. He couldn't be more happy to have is own office and be doing what he loves.

 

We have felt SOOO BLESSED this year. I am so excited for these changes and for this new Chapter in our lives.

February 4th 2005, A Look Back at Our Big Day

3+ years ago a friend asked "How did  you know Hemi was the one you should marry?" At the time I was put on the spot and wasn't sure how to answer that question and since then I've reflected on that question from time to time and have found the answers I wish I would had shared.

I was away from him for 3 months and wanted more then anything to be with him.

 Once we met in person I didn't want to spend another second away.

I had writen what I wanted in a husband on paper and he was that and more then I could ever imagine finding in a man.

He helped me become a better person.

 I know without a shadow of a doubt Heavenly father led us to each other's path's.

I thought I was SO in love with this guy 8 years ago but it has grown SOOO much more since then. Even to this day I get excited for him to come home from work and live for the weekends to spend time with Hemi. I couldn't had picked a better guy. Hemi's and My song is "Keeper of the Stars" by Tracy Byrd because it fits us to a T...

"It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight

I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude

So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew"

 

A look back at our big day...

 

I LOVED the St. George temple since I was a youth. It's so beautiful and the history of it is awesome. and nice warm St. George. in February it was in the 60's.

 

So grateful all my grandparents where there for me.

 

Even my BFF's made the trek.

 

My sister's and two of my cousin's.

 

My bro's welcoming their new Brother in law.

 

I couldn't had done it with out my amazing parents.

 

Hemi had one man on his side and that was his comp form his mission. (Because his family and friends live in New Zealand)

 

Then we RUSHED back form St. George to have a reception in Salt Lake with more friends and Family.

 

We went with a Pacific Island theme  ;) I LOVED my flowers.

 

My reception was a BLAST. It was a big party with dancing.

I LOVED the Daddy/daughter song from Trace Adkins "Then They Do"...

"In the early rush of morning,
Trying to get the kids to school:
One's hanging on my shirt-tail,
Another's locked up in her room.
And I'm yelling up the stairs:
"Stop worrying 'bout your hair, you look fine."

Then they're fightin' in the backseat,
And I'm playing referee.
Now someone's gotta go,
The moment that we leave.
And everybody's late,
I swear that I can't wait till they grow up.

Then they do, and that's how it is.
It's just quiet in the mornin',
Can't believe how much you miss,
All they do and all they did.
You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
Then they do.

Now the youngest is starting college,
She'll be leavin' in the Fall.
And Brianna's latest boyfriend,
Called to ask if we could talk.
And I got the impression,
That he's about to pop the question any day.

I look over at their pictures,
Sittin' in their frames.
I see them as babies:
I guess that'll never change.
You pray all their lives,
That someday they will find happiness.

Then they do, and that's how it is.
It's just quiet in the mornin',
Can't believe how much you miss,
All they do and all they did.
You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
Then they do.

No more Monday PTA's,
No carpools, or soccer games.
Your work is done.
Now you've got time that's all your own.
You've been waitin' for so long,
For those days to come.

Then they do, and that's how it is.
It's just quiet in the mornin',
Can't believe how much you miss,
All they do and all they did.
You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
Then they do.

Ah, then they do."

 

My first love...

 

My new love...

 

My Uncle Ray is an amazing singer and entertainer.

I'm so grateful for the family we had to support us. I know it seemed weird to some how Hemi and I met and got married so quick but when you KNOW he's the one, why wait? It was an Amazing day and I can't believe it's already been 8 years.

 

I am SOOO excited for eternity w/this man. He completes me.

Happy Anniversary Hemi.
