My amazing parents.. made it to 21 years today! Happy Anniversary!

Well, I know its not MY anniversary, but I thought I would pay tribute to the two most perfect people I know.. My two heroes! Mommy and Daddy. Sense they've been married 21 years I thought I would name 21 reasons as to why I love them..

1. They brought me into this world

2. They are so selfless, and would do anything for anyone before themselves

3. They taught me how to be a good person

4. They taught me how to love and how it feels to be loved

5. They have NEVER missed a dance performance of mine, always had 100% of their support

6. They paid for me to dance (which is what I love more than anything in this world) even when they sometimes didn't know where the money was going to come from.

7. They even danced with me, sharing memories I'll never forget.

8. They are the strongest people I know, the way they deal with their cards dealt is so unbelievable.

9. They are not only my heroes, but my best friends. They give the BEST advice.

10. My father, has showed me what a real man is and he works harder than anyone I know. I've always wanted to marry someone just like him.

11. My mother has shown me everything I need to know about being a good mother (when its time) and when I am one, I hope to be even half the wife/mother/woman she is.

12. I love the way my dad brings me flowers for no occasion and has sense I was a little girl.

13. I love the way my mom can tell what I'm thinking or feeling without me saying anything

14. My dad is the best cuddler

15. My mom, her shoulder is the best when I need to cry

16. They are both so non-judgemental, not only with us kids but with everyone around them

17. Both of them inspire me to be a better person, to work harder, and to love everyone around me

18. I love the examples they have set for me

19. I love that they are so in love.. still after 21 years.

20. I love that they also had 3 sons that I love with all my heart

21. finally, I love that they have sealed me with them for eternity... that they have raised me believing the things we do.

There are so many more reasons than 21..

I love you mom and dad sooo mush, without you always being proud of me and pushing me to succeed, I wouldn't be proud of myself or doing the things I should be half the time. Thanks for your amazing example of love. Thank you for all your support, thank you for being you, but most importantly.. thank you for being my parents/best friends/heroes!

Fun weekend!! Plus letters and a phone call.

I just got back from Tabiona with some friends! It was the funnest time I've had in awhile, and the funnest weekend ever! We didn't do much just sat around, ate, slept and watched movies.. while attempting to sled. It was a blast... Eric, Chaseton, Josean, Brandon, Nick, Lacia, Amber, and me all went Thursday to Sunday. It was cold but fun. My mother was keeping me updated on mail and I came home to 9 LETTERS!! I was so excited and while getting ready to leave today I got a phone call from Jordan. I loved it, it was a great weekend all together! Spent it with great company... true friends and getting news from the boyfriend. I also ordered a hoodie for myself and it came in the mail this weekend too its an army girlfriend hoodie. I loved this weekend.

First Army Call!

My man just called!!! We got to talk for about 15 minutes... it seemed like 2 seconds. He sounds great! I was a mess ( a good mess) we talked about normal stuff we've been up to. He had some news that he might get deployed the end of November 2011... I'm holding onto the words might! He then told me we had 30 seconds so then I start bawling! haha. I am extremely happy I didn't miss his call this time. I am extremely happy I got to talk to him! This has made my year! Tomorrow the countdown starts... One month until I see him!!! I miss him and love him so much!!! just one more month.... and 7 more weeks until he is home! Then we can start a future together!

Life Lately.

Hello. I'm not sure how many people actually read my blog, but it's more of a journal for myself anyways. So here goes.


I got a new Chevy cobalt this past month. its been great feeling cool driving :) its also kept me pretty occupied while my man is gone. It has become "my baby"

Jordan and I write letters everyday! I have gotten four from him in the last two days. He is really doing great. He is on a 3 day camping trip where they have to hike a few miles with 60 lbs on their backs. He's gonna be buff. He has been ordained into the priesthood there with special permission. He has really fallen in love with the church there. You should see his letters, I wonder if it's even him sometimes with all the things church related he writes. I love it though, he is so excited to go through the temple with me someday. ( I can't wait for that day) He quotes scriptures and the prophet like nobodies business, and its always things I need to hear at the moment. He is so great. I love him more and more each day.


I have been busy going to school full time, teaching dance, teaching preschool, babysitting Jordan's little sister, nannying for Alaina, and having my new calling as a primary teacher. I hardly get "me" time, but I love what I'm doing and I love the kids!!


Life is pretty good to me considering. Well ta ta for now.


peace&love.

Keepin ya'll updated on PVT Cordova.

I said "ya'll" cause that's Jordan's new slang. He likes to talk like those South Carolinans. I hear it in letters. :) I haven't gotten to talk to Jordan sense a few days after he left, but I keep hopin one day the phone ring... I get letters every other day, we write each other every day. He is doing good after getting off to a bad start. I miss him so much but I feel our love continues to grow as far apart as we are. I got sad news I won't be able to go see him April 1st like I planned. Its too expensive so just the parents are going... I will go see him in Houston though, already planning on a trip.
Please keep Jord and myself in your prayers, this has been extremely difficult for both of us, but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I am grateful for this experience that Jordan is getting to have, and I'm thankful I get to be apart of his growth into a man, and thankful to be in his life. He is the best thing to ever happen to me, and he is an amazing man. If you want to write him....
PVT Cordova, Jordan

Thanks for all your support and love. I have enough to keep me busy so I keep chuggin along. I am grateful to have such a busy schedule for once haha. To add to that I just got called as a primary teacher for the 5 and 6 year olds I'm really excited about it.
Valentines has been great.. Jordan got me a little present ( ok well his mom did but its from him) my dad got me flowers it was cute!!! I hope your guys' love day went amazing as well. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Messing around....

I was messing around on the computer, and made a little mini video. I want to send one to Jordan, what do you think? I will do it cuter with more pictures of course.

Go Jazz Go!

For the boys' birthdays we (mom, eric and me) got the boys jazz tickets! We were able to get four for about 63 dollars each! They were great seats too! It was so much fun and my first game of the season..opps! lol I almost got my husband's (kyle korver)autograph too but some security guy had to be rude! It was a way fun night and really helped me to get my mind off of Jord, this weekend was a hard one for me! I know I can always count on my wonderful family to help me out when I'm down! I also can't forget a fabulous dinner at my favorite place ever! Tepanyakis! It was delicious!! I can't believe how big my brothers are getting though, I probably sound like my mother, but really I was the one learning how to drive yesterday now they both are learning! I love them so much!! They are such great boys! Happy Birthday!!

Army Update!

Jordan has been able to talk briefly! Not anymore now though! He got shipped off to training at 3 AM. He can only write letters from this point on, at least for 7 weeks! I got good news though, I ca ngo see him when he is in fort sam houston! Jane, Jordan's aunt lives in texas and she told me she would get me a free ticket so I can go! Life is good, as much as I miss him, each day is getting easier! Being at his house yesterday really helped me surprisingly! He has sent a couple pics, with his head shaved and in his uniform! He looks so happy and good! I loved his long hair, but he is an army guy now and has to have the buzz! haha Its all real now seeing these pictures! Man, I love that kid! I got to talk to him on the phone at his mom's last night, He has been in south carolina for three days and he has a southern accent! haha its way funny! It makes my day hearing it, I wish I could talk to him more cause of it! He has a watch and everything now too and talks in military time! Its weird to hear and see the changes in him already! He is changing into a man, and I couldn't be more proud of him!

My cute mommy is the best! I came home last night to a pink rose (my favorite) sitting on my bed with a card! Just knowing that she is there for me and does cute things like that make me smile! I am so lucky to have her! She is my best friend! I love you mom!

I love you.

So as most of you know, Jordan left to basic training in south Carolina today. He left at 9:45 this morning. He had a layover in Atlanta where I got to talk to him for a few minutes, then I got to talk to him again when he landed in South Carolina at about 4:30 our time. They have taken his phone now, shaved his head,and given him his camo. He has to earn his phone privileges by how well he does in training, and it can only be used Sundays. Not being able to talk to him will be the hardest for me. That kid is so unbelievably strong for a 19 year old though. He was so proud to be going to do what he was, and was very strong for all the rest of us bawl babies. He didn't show any kind of nerves or breakdowns, he was just the same amazingly perfect Jordan I love. This is going to do great things for him as well as myself, I know we are meant to be together so this will be great for our future, and eternity is way longer than six months away. Its been a great few days all together though I have spent every waking moment with Jordan this weekend. We had his mom's "going away party" on Saturday, which is when it started to hit me this was real. (I kept hoping up until the minute the plane took off-Jordan's officer was Ashton Kutcher and were being punked. but no such luck.) Monday we spent all day together saying goodbye to grandparents and my family. I took him to lunch, and of course cried the whole time. We also made me a build a bear army one with his voice in it for me. Then monday night we went to dinner and we stayed up till 4 am with Jord's whole family playing games, which were a blast, I of course was sick the whole time but still had fun. We shed a few tears last night but a lot of laughs. This morning we were lucky enough to get visitors passes to go through security with Jordan. We thought we would get a lot of time sitting with him before he boarded, but to your dismay, right as we find his gate, they are boarding. We didn't get much time then to say goodbye cause he had to be the big bad army kid who had to be professional and board the plane on time. I tried to hold in my tears until he came around to hug me.. yeah not so good! Luckily Cherree-his stepmom has been through this before and was able to hold me to contain myself. I'm lucky to be so close to Jordan's wonderful family. I love them. Jordan's cute grandma, left her idea and wasn't able to get a visitors pass, even though the cute man was trying everything he can, it was a no go, so the Cordova grandparents had to say goodbye at security, which we later were jealous of thier goodbye time over ours. It has been incredibly hard today, but it can only get easier from here. I have to look forward to him coming home instead of leaving, and then hopefully, we will have a future to look forward to together. I love you Jordan, be safe and I'm praying for you.

Happy 2010!!!

Happy New Year!! Its crazy how fast 2009 went! My new years was really laid back, but it's ok cause I was with the people I love the most. On new Years eve I went to a four hour lunch with Kelli and her mom. I love them and miss them! They make me want to be a better person, so it was a great new start to a new year! We went to Chili's.. YUMMY! Then Jordan came over for a bit then while my mom went to get food for us we stopped by at his parents.. first Robbie's then Lisa's. It was fun we talked and ate pizza then when we came back to my house we ate even more and played games. I was tired by midnight lol I'm old now! It was fun overall! We had some fun with the cops too... Conner can tell you more about that one. Well 12AM came along, we had fun celebrating and getting new years kisses, then it was time for bed! Once again, It was very laid back, but it was fun! I loved it!
