1 yr down!!

Today is my one year anniversary with Danny. Everyone says the first year is the hardest, and Danny and I both agree that if that is true then we're gonna have the best marriage ever!! It's true that being married isn't the easiest thing in the world and we definitely had to learn some things. But overall I think it has pretty much been the best year of my entire life.

Here are some things about Danny that I absolutely love...
1.) He is such a gentleman. He always opens my doors for me and carries my things for me.
2.) He helps me cook, clean, do the laundry, etc.
3.) He ALWAYS gets us to the temple.
4.) He is really funny and can make me laugh at anything.
5.) He tells me he loves me every single day.

Fighting Evil Jerks All Over the World!

Todays post is brought to you by Danny. My wife is absolutely amazing. Obviously. But last night she really just made me explode with pride. Some of the guys on my soccer team were getting warmed up and their ball hit one of the guys on the other team. Well he was a total bum about it. He swore and threatened to beat up my team mate. Well the ball rolled towards him a second time and he moved out of the way so that the ball would just roll away. Then he just started talking crap about my teammates and being really mean. I was shooting goals so I was oblivious to all of this happening but my sweet wife Ari was there listening to this guy be a jerk. So what does she do? She walks over and taps him on the shoulder and says excuse me, but I don't appreciate hearing you say such mean things could we just drop it please? The guy was taken aback obviously but he wasn't about to be told off by a woman. So he shoots back, why is he or husband or something? Ari was like no, I just don't appreciate hearing you talk crap (understand Ari's heart was pounding like crazy when she told me exactly what happened so this isn't word for word but the idea is the same). It was funny cuz the kid looked really retarded for a second. Kind of like when an elementary kid thinks up a stupid come back that doesn't work and then he is confused for a second as he tries to think of a second come back. Yeah, that totally happened to that kid. So after a second all he could think of was, yeah, well I don't care what you do or don't appreciate. Real classy homo. First of all you shouldn't be mean to a girl and second of all you shouldn't be mean to a pregnant girl. Lastly he was lucky I wasn't around to hear him disrespect my wife. Anyways it was awesome because my wife totally stood up to this kid being a jerk. And he was so confused to find out that Ari wasn't even standing up for her husband, she just didn't want to hear this guy be a jerk. The best part was that the jerks wife was there and she was obviously so ashamed of her husband's jerkiness. She just looked so awkward. And then his teammates came up to Ari and were like, we are totally on your side. It was awesome. So anyone who is thinking of being a jerk better make sure that my wife Ari Hallows Bond isn't around cuz she doesn't put up with that crap. Hats off to you babe. You are so hot.

We are having a girl! I couldn't be more excited! Danny is a little less excited because he doesn't know what girls are like. but he is still very excited :) we both feel extremely blessed and overwhelmed at the same time, but we're happy to finally know our baby's gender!
