The HUNT for happily ever after

This past weekend was a BLAST! Mike's dad and step-mom came to St. George with Mike's little brother, Sam, and little sister, Grace. It was so much fun to have his family in St. George and to have spent so much time with them! This also gave me the opportunity to see the family name I was taking on. :) It started on Friday night by going to dinner with his family and his grandparents. I have seen them before at the airport for Mike's missionary homecoming, but we didn't talk much at that time. We were able to get the usual "Where are you from? Who is in your family? Are you going to school?" and all other questions out in the open. Dinner was a great ice-breaker and a catalyst for the rest of the weekend! Saturday morning Michael and I went to Washington to celebrate his family ancestor with the rest of his family. She was the first school teacher in Washington City and this past week would have been her 200th birthday. It was neat to learn she was from Du...

With four months to go... where are we at with planning? Well I'm proud to say we are almost done with wedding planning! It will be okay if you pat us on the back in a celebratory fashion next time you see us. In all reality, with both us working and having a rigorous school schedule we wanted to de-stress and get as much done as soon as possible. Of course, we have to attribute most of our success to our lovely family. My mother and my sister have been phenomenal and essential in the planning process. I sometimes contemplate telling them to open up a wedding planning office. They know everything we want, how we want, and when we want things and they have done an insane amount of work to help create our dream wedding. We can not tell them thank you enough! We are so grateful and love them so much! A couple weekends ago there was a bridal fair in St. George where my mom, sister, and her family came down to visit. On Saturday morning the girls went and picked out my wedding dress...

With the new year well on it's way, drastic changes and eventful/lenthy days did not wait long to present themselves to Mike and me. Among this, "new leaf" so-to-speak are a few of our firsts. Sarah&Mike: 1. First time Michael and Sarah did baptisms for the dead at the St. George temple together. 2. First foreign roommate for Sarah. Her name is Inna and she is from Russia! 3. First college experience for Mike. He is officially a college student. :) 4. First time Sarah is taking 20 credits in college (wouldn't recommend it- especially while in the nursing program and holding down a job). 5. First time Sarah applied for gradutaion- which she will be graduating this spring with her Associate Degree! Yeeeeah Buddy! 6. First time Mike and Sarah are taking an institute class together for engaged and newlywed couples. It is titled  "Building and Eternal Marriage." This year is definitely OUR YEAR! I was talking with my sister on the phone yesterday we...

Christmas morning started off different for me... I knew I was going to propose to the woman I was completely in love with.  Although I was certain she would say yes (from the fact of her reminding me constantly to do it) I had never been more nervous and anxious in my entire life!  My proposal plan was in the christmas gift.  I got her a snow globe with our pictures inside of it and a recorded voice that popped the question.  As that would happen I would kneel down with the ring and she would immediately say yes. I was praying that all would be well...There was only one thing on my mind that day, what would happen in the entire minute of that proposal. When we arrived to the Roseman's home, I tried to find a time when I could talk to Sarah's dad Kelly to ask permission to marry his daughter. When the moment arrived for that, he was in the garage looking for things. As I was about to ask, Sarah walked in and saw us and immediately shut the door. I thought she knew ...

December 25 is a much awaited day that holds many meanings: Presents, family, twinkling house lights,  snow, work parties, crowded shopping centers, decorating the tree, and much more. This year I had no idea just how much of a meaning it would have for me... December 25, 2011 changed my life forever. You see, this is the day Michael William Hunt proposed. <3 The morning of December 25, 2011 I woke up and knew it was going to be a great day. I had to work for four hours at the hospital and then my brother Stanton, Mike, and myself would drive four hours to Springville to spend Christmas with the family. This day was already special to me because I got to share an important holiday with a man straight out of a fairy tale, (Mike) with my family. Anybody who knows me can testify that family is the most important thing in my life.  So it is apparent this holiday was complete having the man of my dreams be with my family. We got to Springville and had our traditional fam...
