Day One: Let me Introduce Myself

I'm Melanie.  I love life.  I love people, I love having people in my life.

I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I Love really good food (especially when made for me by others ;)

I love Dancing

I love Singing

I love Alaska-I was born and raised here

I also love adventure.  

I'm about to get married and start the grandest adventure-

-it might take me away from my beloved Alaska,

 but I'll still love it because it will be a new adventure.

I'm a student of Medical Assisting.  I like to give shots and believe in immunizations.

I think the Human Body is an amazing thing.  

That's why I love dancing and the Medical Field so much.

Such an amazing thing should be taken care of (Medicine, Dance) and used to express the greatness of life(Dancing)

My Fiance's name is Travis Michael Payton.  He's my one and only.  I love him, and am so proud of him.

We're getting Married here:

Logan Utah Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints

On March 12, 2011.  

I picked that picture cuz the rainbow-I love rainbows.

And I picked that temple because I'm a flibbertigibbet who wants to get married where my parents got married.  :)

Also, more people can come there, and like I said, I love people!

I also like to do Family History Research-mostly because its ultimate goal is the temple.  

And I love Temples.

I collected Teddy Bears when I was little

I want to learn to play my Cello

I was the youngest child for 17 yrs, and then my mom had two more babies so in less than 3 yrs I became the middle child.

My Older sisters and talented and smart and I like to brag about them.

Amanda married Jordan-they have a baby Clara.

Robin has the Best GPA of anyone I know, and is fulfilling her dream of playing the bagpipes and traveled to Scotland, Ireland and Whales, and bought herself a cool car-she's pretty money savvy also.

My little Sister Elyse makes me happy when she listens and is kind (which is most of the time, we don't give her enough credit sometimes)

My Little Brother Liam is SUPER adorable and snugly.

And My mommy is so hardworking, persevering, smart, and super.

My step Dad is a great person.  He does alot for us.  

We has some hard times when he first joined our family,

 but I have alot of respect and love for him.

But sometimes he's too smart for his own good.

My Father passed away when I was 8.

I love him so much and miss him, but because he and my mother were married in the temple, I know I will see him again.  Our family is eternal.

My soon to be in-laws are great. 

 They're fantastic people 

who raised a fantastic son, 

and 3 wonderful daughters 

whom I'm excited to get to know better and 

enjoy and share part of my life with.

(I told you I love people-that's why so much of this is about them-by knowing them you know me)
