About Us

Trying to decide what to write between Holiday's is always hard. 

I am a communicator

Marshall is a listener

We have made it 6 years now with very few arguments.  I give full credit to Marshall.  Because if I had my way we would hash things out until I felt I had completely talked through the problem, issue, concern, decision.  I want to get everyone advice to make the most educated choice.  I want to talk about it all day everyday and have no problems discussing and re discussing it.

Marshall on the other hand will only want to hear it once and make a decision about and be done.  He doesn't like to hash things out.  He wants to leave it alone if it isn't absolutely necessary.  He generally will let me have my hash through once maybe twice and then either it gets dropped or we make a decision.

I have to say though that after 6 years and not growing up in a communicating family like I did.  He and I do a wonderful job of communicating together.  He has learned that I need to talk and I have learned that only the Most important things need to be hashed out. 

So all in all I give Marshall the big credit for our wonderful relationship.  He is a really great man and a wonderful father and I am eternally grateful that he decided to marry me 6 years ago.

15 things about us

Marshall and I thought we would put a list together about

15 facts about you

&

Something that stresses you out

Here is our list 

Brittany

1. I hate exercising

2. I love to sing to music in the car, but would rather not do it in public.

3. I can’t dance to save my life. Even as a child I couldn’t be in a dance class because I have no coordination.

4. I read cookbooks like novels over and over and over again just because.

5. I have to touch everything when I am shopping, like pillows, blankets, shirts.

6. I love getting my picture taken.

7. I sit in most chairs cross legged.

8. I hate shoe shopping but love shopping for food.

9. I was born in the wrong time. I love all things old and nostalgic (1800-1900) music and interests better suit the 40’s-60’s

10. I hate going places alone; I would rather have someone to go with just not a toddler.

11. I am afraid of the dark. I know it’s crazy.

12. I love having my own house so I can get the mail everyday. (it has my name on it)

13. I can recite “7 brides for seven brothers” I know every line and all the songs.

14. I have to sit on the outside of the bench because it makes me claustrophobic to sit inside.

15. I have to have clean hands. Dirty ones make me panicky.

Something that stresses me out is when I something goes wrong, or wasn’t planned and I have to figure out how I am going to deal with it in that second.

5 years

Looking back this has to have been an interesting year and sometimes I don’t know how we ever made it through alive. This was the year we took an early anniversary trip. We took a nice little cruise to Ensenada Mexico. We left from long beach California, to Catalina Island, to Ensenada back to long beach.

We have a killer deal and we were so very excited about going. We are not that good at planning and thought perfect a vacation that really plans itself. They feed you; they take you to places you just have to get off the boat. They have shows you can go to each night and they make the bed every morning. Well after I bought the tickets and looked at all the paperwork I have reserved a room with bunk beds—huhhhhh--and had I got the right rooms it would have only cost us $40 dollars more. But because I hade to call and change my room it cost us $300. Now it was not so great a deal. We were really excited to go anyway. This would be Marshalls second time flying, the first was to and from his mission in Chile. I let him sit next to the window. We landed in California and headed t the ship. We were amazed at how large it was and wow what an experience.

We got settled in our room –that had a normal sized bed- and went for a walk about the ship. We found the salt water pool, the dinning room, the buffet with all you can eat everything, the life boats, and the track. We never did find the adults only hot tub area that might have been nice.

After being on the ship 1 night I came to the conclusion that I am REALLY Sea Sick. I did not do very well. We loved all the stops. Loved watching the ocean and the waves, Loved the experience but I was so sick I hated the Cruise. I don’t think that we will ever go on a cruise again. So sad it was our perfect vacation planner.

This was also the year that Marshall worked full time swing shift and grave yard while taking 12-15 credit hours at school. Like I have said before we were just trying to get through his degree and be done. It was difficult being a wife and mother and working. Having Marshall unavailable all the time made it even worse. We both learned very valuable things about each other during that time. We learned how to best utilize our time together. We both had to work at it, because it is not an easy thing to do. There were times that I would not see Marshall from Sunday night until Thursday afternoon. But I am grateful for all that we learned how to better communicate. Also that its over and we wont have to live like that ever again.

Marshall also graduated in December. We were glad to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am proud of him because I know it was not easy. Now with only 1 night a week of class we can handle that.

I also went to weight watcher at the beginning of our year. I wanted to learn how to eat healthier and live healthier. I wanted better food options that made me feel good. I have been successful for 1 year so far and plan on continuing my healthy plan to help our family eat better.

This was the year that we found out that having more children would be detrimental to my life.

We had talked about having more children but I had put it off because I wasn’t ready. Looking back I know that God had played a large part in my feelings of hesitancy. When I finally decided that I was ready it was December. I have a regular appointment with my cardiologist every 6 months to check my pacemaker. After I had Libby I had a hard time bouncing back. I didn’t feel well the first time I was pregnant and I was worried that if I got pregnant again I would have the same issues. When I went in the doctor sat down and we talked about the medication I had been recently prescribed to see how I liked it. I asked about how it would affect me during pregnancy and he looked at me and said “you can’t take this is you get pregnant, I also highly recommend that you don’t get pregnant again. We are doing all we can do to make your life function right now if you get pregnant I don’t think you will be able to function”. What a blow. I knew that I was functioning better now but I knew how bad it could be pregnant. But to hear it put that I probably couldn’t take care of the 1 child I had and not be able to care for a second child when I was done it put me to pieces. Here I was Alone, and being told that I should not have any more children, it was devastating. I held my chin up asked a few more questions and got my answers, I thanked him and left. I got in my car and drove home. I didn’t know what to do I cried and cried. When I got home Marshall was waiting with our daughter, I walked in and lost it. We sat on the floor feeling lost and helpless with tears in our eyes for our unobtainable dreams.

After many prayers, long nights, and meeting with several other specialist. We can to the decision that My life was valuable, I had a daughter that needed me, a husband that needed me, and my little family needed me. I wanted to be around and functioning to my complete ability until forever. So we decided that adoption was the path our family would take. We have been criticized by some, helped and aided by others. We are grateful for the support our families give us in looking for our addition. We pray each day that someone will bless our life with the gift they have. I look forward to the moment to look into the face of the most selfless person on earth and thank them from the bottom of my heart, and Hope that they know mother to mother how thankful I am for them.

Our life has been a roller-coaster. We have had our ups and downs just like everyone else. We know that the Lord has his hand in all things. We are grateful for the still small voice that whispers in our ears and hearts. Because I know that I hear it often and am grateful that I can recognize it. I pray that all can feel the power that comes from the comforter. I have felt the peace that I need in those times that I feel helpless and pray that God will heal all our wounds.

First Year

Marshall and I had found a house that was for rent about 1 month before we got married. It was the perfect little house. It was built in the 1940’s and I fell in love with the quaintness of the home. The problem was that it was not ready for rent even though they had it listed as a rentable home. The bathroom was not working there was no running water and the kitchen did not have working fridge or stove. Well we moved our stuff in with their promise that it would be finished in 2 weeks plenty of time before the wedding. Well we ended up having to find a new place 4 days before the wedding because they never finished the bathroom. Oh well Lesson learned. So we rented this little home 400 square feet and lived there for 4 months. Then found an apartment that was below our friends. We ended up there for 2 years and loved it. Before we had been married a year we had moved 3 times. Growing up I moved a ton and so moving was not to big a deal. But Marshall lived in the same home his entire life. He moved only a couple of times on his mission. So moving was not a big thing in his book. So we settled into the apartment and loved it. We had a cozy 2 bedroom apartment.

We were a happy little couple. We made really good money and had no bills. We had a Tacoma truck, car, and a 4-wheeler. We sold my little Geo within 1 month of being married Marshall’s choice. I got to upgrade to a sedan. We went 4 wheeling almost every weekend and camped in a tent 1 time before we decided to buy a camp trailer the first week of June. We found a really cheap one and made it our own. It was orange inside but it had running water and was only $500. Then we spent the next 2 years fighting the never ending trailer guests the mouse family.

We went to Canada for a family funeral we left on a Wednesday afternoon and made it home by Monday and 2200 mile round trip. We learned that you need more than 100 CD to make a trip like that. Our next trip will have a few books on tape.

We went to St. George to the Tuacahn Theater to see “Beauty and the Beast”. Marshall really surprised me for my birthday that year. We loved going to do something different and relaxing and have made it a family tradition to try to see at least 1 show a year.

Marshall got a new job working the graveyard shift. With the company he is with today. He loved it and worked his way up by his hard work and determination.

My family had a missionary come home who got to meet Marshall for the first time. My other brother graduated high school. Marshall Sister had a baby.

For us life was just fun and exciting. We wanted to wait to start our family. We wanted to get to know each other and have a working relationship before we dove into being parents. Looking back at our decision it was one of the best choices that we ever made. We have a stable relationship. We love each other very much. I am so glad that the choices we made brought us closer to each other and gave us a stronger relationship.

Marshall gave this card to me sometime in our first year of being married and of all the cards he has given me this is my favorite.  It really goes to show that we get a good laugh out of life.

Our Wedding

Marshall and I were married on May 10, 2005. It was a Tuesday. We didn’t want to make a long day of our wedding day so we opted to get married on a Tuesday and then have our reception on Saturday.

We were married in the morning at the Mount Timpanogas Temple. It was a cold and rainy day. I was grateful that when I arrived at the temple Marshall was there. I was worried he would change his mind and not come. Silly, I know. We had a wonderful ceremony. Neither of us remembers much about it. I am glad that when I go to the temple we can participate in sealing’s. The sealer always talks about how similar the words are to when you are married. Reminders are everywhere and I am glad. We finished in the temple and then took pictures. It cleared up just long enough to take pictures and then started to rain when we were done. We had our luncheon at a Marshall’s sister’s church in American Fork. We had all our friends and family there. We ate and then we left for our honeymoon.

We planned to stay close to home (even then we were too cheap- or you could say frugal your choice, to go too far). We stayed in SLC at a really nice place my uncle got as a wedding gift for us. It was across from temple square. So we ate at the Roof in the Joseph Smith Memorial building, and toured temple square ( let me say awkward, when every set of missionaries on temple square, stop and ask you what you are doing in SLC and you have to answer them). After that we headed south to Manti. We stayed at a nice Bed and Breakfast with a nice 80 year old couple who ran it. So awkward. Well we didn’t take Marshalls 4-wheeler and we should have. We ended up going to his families’ mountain property to go see the beautiful views. I had only seen it in the snow. Well it had been raining for a week and it was muddy. But we made it all the way to the property. Once we got there we got stuck in the mud. I just wanted to laugh. We were stuck on a mountain, 2 hours from home, our cell phones didn’t get service, our trucks wheels were 5 inches deep in mud and Marshall was getting mad. Our options were to 1. Walk down the mountain and call his dad to come pull us out or 2. Find branches, anything dry to make a path out if the mud (I had seen it on Swiss family Robinson and I hoped it would work). We did not want to be the couple that had to call their parents on their honeymoon. So we found sticks and branches and rocks and anything we could to put under the tires. I don’t know how to drive a stick shift so I pushed the truck while Marshall drove. Well good news we got out without having to call our parents. We were really muddy and felt bad going back into the bed and breakfast caked in mud to our knees. But we got over that. We headed home on Saturday morning for the reception.

I was glad we had the break; it made it more enjoyable of an evening. Our reception was held in my parent’s back yard. I wanted something simple and somewhat casual. We only had our parents in the line. We had a family friend make a cake for us (the only part edible was the top that we cut into). My mom did the flowers I had a bouquet of white and pink roses( she did used to do flowers a long time ago). We had strawberry short cake as our refreshments. The part of the memory Marshall remembers best is, how much whipped cream we ended up having as leftovers. You would think that it would be easy math to figure out how much whipped cream we would need ½ cup for each slice of cake. Well we were over 49 extra large tubs of whipped cream. No cake just the topping. To this day I still over estimate and it’s our family joke. I think it’s better to have too much than not enough.

We did enjoy our reception and being able to see all our family and friends was really nice. While looking through pictures we laughed because we don't remember too much but boy we both look thinner and younger and in Marshall's case more hair.  We know that the older we get the more our memory will change and different things come back to you. But the nice thing is that we have pictures to remember all the wonderful things.  Having the temple in our lives is our constant reminder that our family will be Together Forever. That is the biggest memory I have of our wedding day.

Brittanys version of how we met and got engaged

This is the story of how Marshall and I met, and got engaged.


Our story starts with my friend getting me a job at a car dealership as an evening receptionist. I was grateful for the job, I was living on my own and was trying my best to meet nice guys and have fun. Each day I would come to work and have to clock in so I would go through the service drive of the car dealership. Marshall and his brother both worked there. All the people in the drive would help me and were very nice. After a few months my friend got a promotion and that meant I got a promotion to the day shift receptionist. This was wonderful. I had regular hours and I could now socialize.

My interactions with Marshall became more frequent and I really thought he was good looking. I made sure that I looked nice everyday. I made efforts to stop in and say “hi”. It was some time at the beginning of January. Marshall had a customer that had an issue and had to talk with a manager about it. I spied him across the room most of the day as he came in and out. Well that night I went back to my apartment and told my roommates that I thought he was so cute. I really wanted to date him, but I was not going to make the first move. I had already done that with all the other people I had been on dates with, and that didn’t work out to well for me. The next day at lunch I received a phone call. The person on the other end asked if I knew who this was. (please don’t ever ask receptionist if they know who is calling I had no clue and I guessed, so dumb) when he explained that it was Marshall from service, I was so excited I was glad I was sitting down, I might have fallen. He asked me if he could take me out for the evening to dinner and games. I said ”YES”.

Around that time I had been having a hard time going on dates with guys. I felt uncomfortable and usually cancelled 1 hour before the date because of fear. Well work ended up lasting longer than usual, my replacement came really late. I did not have enough time to get scared and nervous just enough to get ready before he would show up. When I walked in the door from work to get ready, my roommates were there, I told them that Marshall had asked me out on a date. They about fell off their chairs because only the night before I had told them I liked him. We ate at ottavio’s in Provo, an expensive place, I ordered baked ziti and didn’t eat much because we spent the entire evening talking. It was the best first date I had ever had. I fell hard and fast. We did not go out the next night, his family was having a birthday dinner for his mom. But every night after that except Sundays we spent together.

We did not want to tell anyone at work that we were dating we did not want any pressure of being pushed. We tried to be very secretive about it. We would talk on the phone, and he would hang out after work. I usually made dinner for him every night. He loved my food. We talked about everything and anything. I liked having someone who cared. He helped me jump my car one morning (that was a tough one to try to keep secret). We talked about getting married after 3 weeks. We got engaged on Valentine’s weekend. We had spent the entire day together we had gone and gotten massages at the massage school, after which he dropped me off at my place to get ready for dinner. Well when he came back to pick me up he was a little quiet which at that time was unusual. When we got to his apt, it was empty, but there were rose petals leading to the kitchen. I thought what a nice valentines dinner. We ate Café Rio salad and listened to an album by Sam Cooke. He asked me to dance; this so far was one of the only times he has danced with me. The song “cupid” came on and he got on 1 knee and proposed. I was shocked, speechless and excited. He got me a ring that was beautiful just what I had been dreaming about. We were so happy. We went and showed off our engagement ring to both our parents. The best part was showing up to work Monday morning. To see the look on everyone’s faces when we told them we were getting married. We had several people not believe us. I am grateful that Marshall called me, and asked me out. My life is better because he is part of it.

after thought, I was looking at the photos I had scrapbooked and realized how young we look.  Funny enough I was 22 almost 23 and Marshall had just turned 22.  Boy we look young, thin, and naive.

the long and the short of Marshall

Finally done! I really, really, wish that I had never stopped going to school in the first place. To finish school after we already had a house, Libby, and a lifestyle that we didn't want to give up was very difficult to say the least! I wish that we would have just settled for the "poor college student" stage of life and done it when we first got married, instead of doing it all backwards. We bought cars, a four wheeler, a house, camp trailer, and really were not too smart with our money. Then when Libby came and we already had the house, working part time to focus on school was not an option. So it is great to finally be done, I feel too old to just be finishing up. If I had started right after my mission and never stopped then I could have my Master's already instead of just starting.

Everyone asks that since I majored in psychology if I have everyone "figured out" or know what's wrong with people, and I have no idea. I am a little disappointed in the degree that I have because I feel that I don't know that much more than I did two years ago. However, the critical thinking and problem solving skills that I picked up on the way are what will make the difference. And the determination to finish. I feel like finishing school is my biggest accomplishment and what I have worked hardest for.

In the next two weeks I hope to be accepted by Villanova University to be in their Masters of Human Resource Development Program. It will take two more years, but it will be a lot more laid back than the last two years we have had. Classes are only one night a week for 2 hours, over the internet. It is a live class that the students can still participate in thru microphones and chat. Each class will be 8 weeks long. But it will cost a fortune so we will have to take our first student loans, which is a bummer. Thankfully USSynthetic is the bomb and will cover 50% of the tuition costs. With that degree I hope that with the growth at USSynthetic that there will be availability in the HR department as well. They are just starting construction on a building that will be done in the next two years and will require a lot more people to be employed to use it.

 

It has been great the last month since finishing school to actually be able to come home at night, see Britt, play with Libby, actually use my Xbox, and watch Jazz games on the day they actually played! I have also been able to play basketball twice a week, and workout daily. It is great and I am trying to take advantage of it before I start school again in March. I am on my third week of P90X and have lost nearly 10 pounds already.

I am really looking forward to this summer of being able to actually go play in the evenings and weekends and have a life again, I think that is when not having school full time will really hit me.

These are a few of my NEW favorite things

A little more, about me.

Marshall gave me a beautiful bedspread for Christmas this year. I think he was tired of the one I made when we first got married. I don’t blame him I was getting bored too. Well it was really bulky, and I thought that if I wash and dry it, maybe it will flatten just a bit. So I did, but sadly it only made the batting stick or rather melt together. So instead of cryin, I fixed it. I unstitched the stitching holding the batting in place and pulled it all out. I turned it into a duvet. I like at a lot more now, because I can keep it out all year long now. It only took about 1 hour to fix.

We have been invited to play a few new games this past month. We found that we have a new favorite game,‘A Ticket to Ride’. We absolutely love this game. It is fast and fun and you can talk while playing and not mess up. Who knew we would find a game we liked as much as ‘hand and foot’. It is on our birthday wish list.

I have a new goal this year. I plan to read the Doctrine and Convents, Pearl of Great Price, Old Testament, and New Testament, this year. I have been working hard to read everyday, and I have to read a lot at the beginning to make the Bible manageable. I am learning a lot and am grateful that this was my goal.

Last year my doctors told me that I needed to be doing 3 things: eating healthy, exercising, and sleeping well. I was only doing the sleeping thing well. So I decided to start weight watchers. Not to lose weigh, but to learn how to eat better. I have loved what I have learned. I make better choices and am much happy because of it. I hope that what I have learned will be installed in my family. That as they grow, they start making good choices, and not the fast food choices that I love so much.

Everyone has a show that they just absolutely love to watch. I have a few I love: Dinner Impossible, Chuck, How I met your Mother, and What Not to Wear. The last show has been prety inspiring to me lately. I started watching it about 4 months ago, and it has changed my outlook on myself. I learned that first, my wardrobe sucks. Really I have been wearing the same style since high school and that was 10 years ago. Second, I have a shape and I should be dressing my shape to look the best it can. Third, with a bit of make up done right you can look amazing once you are all put together. So I studied and learned how to put on make-up and followed what they did. Small change, but I like it. Second I figured out what style or shape of clothing looks best for my body, who knew a v-neck shirt was the best. I have been trying to cover myself for the past 15 years, instead of flattering myself in a good way the assets I have. Now I am working on my wardrobe. I have replaced a few shirts and a pair of jeans and some shoes. I hope that I can have a few items that really make me feel amazing (since that is the goal on the TV show). Already I feel good about myself, just in the small changes that I have made. Instead of being stagnant I am being proactive. Proactive is the way to happiness. You have to make things happen for them to happen.

So I know that life doesn’t fall into place, you have to make the effort, do the work and find what works for you. Otherwise life will be boring and unproductive.

My earliest memory is: Of playing at my grandparents home. We were Easter egg hunting on the hill in the back yard that was a forest. I was with my cousins and we were all laughing.

My first paying job was: Baby sitting for a neighbor with 4 kids. I was excited that someone would trust me to care for their family.

My best birthday was: When I turned 14. My parents gave me my presents throughout the day. I really think it is a great idea and try to do the same for Marshall and Libby

A smell that reminds me of my childhood is: Chocolate chip cookies. I always helped make cookies every Sunday and then taught my sibling how. They still have cookies every Sunday.
