Past Due.

It only took 1.5 years buuuut our blog is up and walking. Oh the stories I have to tell about how we met, dating life, how Kody proposed, and life since we sealed to deal. Hang in there. I'm having blogger ADD in order to both catch up on history while staying caught up on the present. Moral of this story: DON'T PROCRASTINATE.  For now the Cliff notes version.

Kody and I have been married one wild ride of one year and six months. Basically pro status over here. I love being married to Kody, my Mr. Right from his little toe to the tip of his hair. There is some controversy as to the actually day we met, I say it was at my roommates birthday dinner, he says it was at my apartment a few days before the dinner, he claims I was wearing glasses, but if that's true, why did he come back for more?! I scare myself with those things on. Who knows who's right. Actually, I do, its me. I'm always right. Marriage perk numero uno. Back to the story. His apartment was friends with my roommate and so over the next few months we would see each other in passing when I'd go over, or we would see each other at church. Contact for a while was minimal. Then at some unknown point in time, things went from friends, to friendlier. Whether it was the magic of snap chat, the drinks from sonic, or just the time we spent together, I started to like him, like really like him, and I, kind of sort of thought he returned the emotion. But like, why wasn't he asking me out? (This is actually a funny story so watch for it.) Finally after what felt like FOREVER, he asked me if I wanted to go out to a movie, to which my response was totes-my-goats. Major palm to the face. Nice, Chels. Really smooth. That's not even the right phase/what does it even mean? We went, we saw, we conquered. After the first date, things moved quickly. We were dating, we went on many different adventures, laughed, cried, had some drama, and then after getting a confirmation that this was the real deal, Kody proposed; I'm excited to write that post, it's basically my favorite story. Our engagement was itty-bitty, 2 months itty-bitty. All of this led to our sealing on November 19, 2015 in the Payson, UT  LDS temple. My all time favorite day, and everyday I am more grateful for the choice I made in my eternal companion. Since that time, we have lived-in and moved out of our first apartment, I finished a degree in Political Science, I was accepted into Law School, Kody was accepted to Utah State University, we traveled, visited most of the west coast, visited our missions, acted as rodeo groupies, saw our first PBR, found out we were expecting our first child, relied on each other through a miscarriage, had all of our first holidays, finished more than one series on Netflix, burnt a few meals, shrunk some clothes, laughed, A LOT, bought our first truck, changed jobs, moved to Brigham City, UT, spoke in sacrament meeting, received a calling, ate at least 100 pizzas, and we fall more in love everyday.

For now we are happy, healthy, and living our life the best way we know how, one day at a time.

Sincerely,
The Suter's

and then there were three

I was sitting in class today, trying not to fall asleep as my professor went on and on about collective bargaining, when baby decided to throw party in my belly, I looked down and couldn't help but smile as I felt little movements, and then I cried. Right there in the middle of classroom with 90 people in it. Hormones, insert eye roll here. Becoming a mom scared me, I would take the LSAT over and over, and have less nerves than what I am currently experiencing. Before I met Kody I was pretty content with my life, I was happy, I had goals, and plans to achieve those goals, then I met him and it was a whole new world view. The plan shifted, not altogether changed, but shifted, it now became our goals, no longer me but we, and we both tried to adjust what we wanted our end goal to be. I never imagined myself as a mom, not really, and at the time they were about 65th on my to do list, maybe it was my fear of failing as a mother, not being good enough, financially unready,  or more like...

He liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Do you have a story that you love to tell so much, that you look for any reason to tell it? And all your friends roll their eyes, as in to say..."here she goes again." I have many.  Most are about how cool my husband is, I just want everyone to know. One of my favorite "our stories" is when he proposed because it was just so perfect and adorbs. He gets me. Here's some background story for you. I love reading, I love the feel and smell of books (like for real I tried to convince Kody to have our reception at the Springville Library), and I collect children's books, I love to discover new ones, and it's one of my favorite gifts to get...just if you need ideas. I have a few go-to's when I'm stressed or just needing to feel free, one is running, one is chocolate (obvi), one is painting my nails, and the other is going to Barnes's and Noble to read children's books, and as I'm typing this I can see how that sounds creepy. I will hunker dow...
