WELCOME.....to Medieval Times!!

I started this post of August 17th:

Today is my 8th Anniversary with the best man in the whole world. That's right ladies, you missed out. I got him! Jeremy Glenn and I, Nicole Tanya Ortega were married in the San Diego Temple 8 years ago. It was a race to the temple at break neck speeds for 3 hours. We were the first couple to be married that day in that temple.

August 18th continues:
I couldn't have as much fun, or trials, or experience as much love as I have with anyone other than Jeremy. He is my Be Fri, Priesthood holder, Father to my children, bread winner and lover. He knows how to hold me and say "everything is going to be alright"(like the old man on Wedding Singer). He works hard and sometimes doesn't get to do much but still keeps going because he has a responsibility to his family. I love him more than myself and sometimes my children come second to him.
We were suppose to go to Catalina this year for a romantic getaway and it was all planned out in our minds. Then some family things came up and we sacrificed that trip. Instead I was brilliant enough to make up for it by getting two Royalty tickets to MEDIEVAL TIMES. I have been a few times like 15 years ago and this was Jeremy's first experience with dinner and a tournament. It was fantastic. We giggled alot and cheered for our Evil green knight. Jeremy couldn't believe his luck when our Knight was announced as a lover of war and master of weapons. He came to carnage and blood shed. It was an amazing (k)night. hee hee. I begged to do a picture where you dress in the clothes and pose behind the sword and get your picture in a folder that only cost $15 and jeremy finally consented! We look so cute and Sarah at home this morning said " Mother, you look so beautiful and daddy is handsome." I wonder how I became mother and why is it surprising that I am beautiful??? It made me smile and laugh at her honesty. We also had our names read off during the show as celebrating our anniversary and had a large certificate printed and we bought a spoon to go with our spoon collection. I have a rack that is filling up fast. It was simply so much fun. I highly recommend going if you have the chance. Jeremy also fixed our blanket box. someone sat on it and broke the bottom. they were way too heavy. It has been an eye sore since may and now it is ship shape. He let me take a nap while he worked on it and the farthest thing from my mind was our once planned catalina trip. There is always next year! Oh yes I am sure you are wondering what our presents where to each other. Well we are working on it together. I am picking out the frame and he is photoshopping one of our wedding photos that will be enlarged to 22x36! holy huge kissing picture!! I will show it off when it is done!
