Marriage "the begining"

Now that we are all married and "settled" in life seems so much more calm. I remember the month before the wedding feeling so stressed. Man, I am getting stressed just thinking about it. Any how we are all moved into this 50's style town home. I painted practically the whole house, with some help from My mom, Daniel, and Mike.. oh and we can't forget Jon. It looks really cool. Its nice to have our own home. Mine and Daniels "love nest", that is until the kids come. Which will be a while if you are wondering. We are taking our time getting to know each other.
Daniel is studying for his GMAT exam which is next month. He wants to go back to school to get a masters in international business. Along with working full time at Intel.
I am just doing the working thang. Taking care of my brother here and there. Cleaning houses, and working part time at this Non-profit organization called Oregon School Based Health Care Network. Its a company that promote health care for children ages 0-18. They have clinics in the surrounding schools so the children get the help they need.
Not to go off on a tangent or anything but what is the deal with the government on health care? We know that education is a "basic human need" so our kids won't grow up to be illiterate or uneducated. Ok so my child will have the ability to have knowledge, which is great, but what if she is sick due to a lack of resources for health care. What if me or my husband take ill due to a lack of health care coverage, that will then effect our children, will it not? I could go on but my point is that it seems to me that health care is just as a basic human need as education, if not more of a need.
Maybe I will just move to Canada.. haha only kidding eh.
Back to what the purpose of this post was...well I am sleepy now, but I want to show you my apartment. So for another post I will show some picture.

Our Song


Here are the lyrics from the song we danced to.
I put the song on our webstite, but I am not sure
if its playing?? Anyways enjoy!


























Not talkin bout a year, No not three or four.
I don’t want that kind of forever, in my life anymore.
Forever always seems, to be around when it begins,
But forever never seems to be around when it ends.
So give me your forever, Please, your forever.
Not a day less will do from you.

People spend so much time every single day,
Runnin round all over town Givin their forever away.
But no not me I wont let my forever roam.
And now I hope I can find my forever a home.
So give me your forever, please your forever.
Not a day less will do from you.

Like a handless clock with numbers, an infinite of time.
No not the forever found only in the mind.
Forever always seems to be around when things begin.
But forever never seems to be around when things end.
So give me your forever, please your forever.
Not a day less will do from you.

"Our Big Day"

Daniel Jay Dodge & Rebecca Dyann Blue

As many of you know Daniel Dodge and I were married on July 20th 2007 in the Portland Oregon Temple. It was a the most nerve recking and happiest day of my life.

This day we both had been preparing for, for a long time. As many of you know the temple is a special place. Only those that have been living in accordance to Gods commandments may enter. And believe me its not an easy path to follow.

There are many people that I wished that could have witnessed our ceremony that were unable to attend for one reason or another. For this reason I wish to share our experience inside the sealing room of the Temple.

Daniel and I were all dressed in white and we knelt across an alter.
In the sealing room of the temple there were mirrors that faced each other and as you looked into them it seems that you and your love went on forever. in that room we made promises with God and each other. And in return, as we lived up to those covenants made we could have an eternal family. Meaning that our marriage continues on beyond this life. This means a lot to me, I care about and love Daniel so much. And I know he loves me dearly too. I look forward to the family that we will have together and I know that I will love them very much.
