Anyway enough about that, here is a little introduction about the Becksteads:
We were established June 9th 2012 (almost a year!!!!) at 2:20 in the Salt Lake LDS temple. We both went to Murray High school. Gotta love the Murray curse. And I can tell you that I did not ever think my life would be what it is today. I hated the thought of marriage. Someone tying you down, having to cook for them, paying bill together? What?? I was fine on my own. My own money, my own problems, and my own plans. I hated letting people in. I could do what I wanted when I wanted. But then I met Brian. He was so different. I remember just talking to him and just laughing. Like for real laughing. Not like those laughs where you are laughing where you are trying to hide the fear that you think he is a serious creeper and follow you home. I still remember on our first date hearing the song "Home" by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros and just staring at him in aww. Someone that finally listened to good music. We met on trax (how romantic) going up to the University of Utah. I had seen him before and gave him weird glances as he would be the only one laughing really loud on trax at 8 in the morning. Thinking he was just one of those weird kids with a bright pink back back. And wondering how long it took him to get into those skinny jeans. Though I had never talked to him I knew he went to Murray and as all Murray people do on trax we pretend we don't know anything about each other even though we went to almost all of their birthday parties growing up. I was running late one morning and barely made it on the trax. I sat down and then we made eye contact. Dang. "Didn't you go to Murray?" I rolled my eyes and all I said was "yep" and it was all down hill from there. A year later we were engaged (March 1st) and sealed on the very special day of June 9th.
Now here is the real part that everyone covers up. Marriage is hard. Everyone made it look so perfect, so easy. I love marriage and boy I can tell you that Brian and I have grown so much since that day we said "Yes". It is a lot of work and I have learned to love that work because it has bettered our relationship so much. I have learned so much about love and how there is so much more to love than what it meant when we were just dating. Love truly means service.
Enough about all that yucky mushy gushy talk. Brian and I are so blessed. We are living in Midvale Utah (that's not a blessing) on 11 acres! We get to experience what it is like to be farmers! (I do think his tractor is sexy) It has always been my dream to live where my horses are but Brain, I don't think knew what a pitch fork was. He has been amazing though and so helpful! We have the CUTEST dog ever. His name is Jackson and he is our child. Seriously. Sleeps in between us at nights. We are both working and going through school. (Eww) and someday we WILL move back to Murray :)
Everyone describes thier love in these beautiful majestical ways. Brian and I's love isn't. It is different. We seriously are the most stubborn people you will ever meet. Two babies of the family married? But as much as we fight like old couples we seriously have enough passion to last us an eternity. I stop and think of how crazy my life is and how I had so many other plans for my life but I really couldn't imagine my life with out that crazy guy. I could talk to him for hours (even though he hates girl talk time). He is my rock and the person I run to calm me down. I am so glad the choices I have made and can't wait to hold his hand through all of life's trials. The good and the bad.
Sorry this is so long and nobody will ever read this but I hope to share a little of our fun adventures that we do through this life. :)
Cheers,
Kylie
