Head-Over-Heels gaga!


Well, here I am sitting infront of the lap top trying to figure out what to write about. I could tell you about the unknown, crazy-old grandma that showed up on our door step, and INSISTED on a tour of our master bedroom...soooo DeNiEd... but still wouldnt leave our house..., or I could tell you about how we watched the cops take down a theif who was in mid-conversation with us yesterday... But eh. I've been sipping on my Diet Mtn Dew, chewing gum balls from kellies wedding for 30 minutes now and I just don't know! If Kirk were home I would be sleeping in our comfy bed, but there's just somethin un-appealing about falling alseep alone when you know exactly the joy it is to have your spouse next to you instead. Don't get me wrong-it's not an insecurity, but rather a paradisiacle relaxation and cozyness that I know I don't get to embrace tonight. It's hard to understand if you've never felt it. It's just like getting your nails done.... getting a manicure is totally cute and fabulous-but once you get a hot set of sparkling nails, a manicure just isn't as fun... -OR- it is somewhat comparable to going to a massage spa after a week of Boot Camp and hard work outs. You're stiff, sore and in need of some healing. You're in the lobby, have paid and are sipping your cool water.... but that's it. You don't actually get a massage. You're there, ready and dreamin of it..buttt it aint happenin no matter how nice it sounds... SOoO likewise... I know exactly what I dont get. And yes, "Me Time" is enjoyable like crazy! I've already shaved my legs, done a little shopping, chatted with a girlfriend and have my oatmeal face mask on as we speak, but I have to say my prayers alone tonight... Huh. How did THAT tast coming out of my mouth? Yucky! When I roll over in the middle of the night, nothing will be there. Kinda wierd hahaha. And when Moja barks @ 6am in the morning I-ME-MEEE has to feed her. Now I know exactly what you're thinking.... I'm sappy and attatched... Yes I am. I love it. If you refer to me as "Kirks Wife" for the rest of my life I would be absolutley flattered hahahaha jk. BUT... Speaking of love... What is it?

Definition of L.O.V.E. according to Catharine:


  • a devotion of One-ness [to One] in everyway...spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, romantically

  • Somthing only felt to it's complete fulness between man & wife

  • Godliness

  • an inspirational attraction

  • a Virtue

  • passion and desire

  • commitment and value

  • a hunger or thirst

  • somthing that has the power to create silly, dorky and childish explosion of happiness inside you!..without making you feel DUMB (even though you probably should haha)

  • a bursting, bright and instant energy

I LOVE YOU KIRKY MONSTER!!!

I guess I'll blast the AC all night so I can at least cuddle in his sweatshirt and bball shorts. ...sigh...just like olds times again.

tickles and whispers of the Holy Spirit...

...that have taught or reminded me of glorious truths.

My Eternal Companion

  • Catharine Fortuna will always be a princess, but Catharine McAllister will always be a Queen.
  • It is better that I die a most tortureous, grieveous and terrifying death than lose my Purity or break my Covenants. Defend it nobly. Satan has confused the world. If I get bamboo shoved under my finger nails, flesh eating bugs scattered on me, and nails hammered into my teeth then left for open festering infections to puss (like the Chinese do to torture).... it is worth it. In the Eternal perspective, it is always worth it.
  • Kirk is so in-tune with the spirit. Sustain it, honor it and encourage it beyond anything else.
  • Some parts of life can be draining and hard, but it's worth it to work through it. School may be a struggle, self image may be a struggle, it may be drugs.. family.. motherhood.. health... marriage ...dating...anything. But that's the key...you just gotta work through it. This world if full of the "easy way outs", avoid them. There is more satisfaction and self gratification in working through whatever life has given you.
  • Joseph Smith didn't just see Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ when he was 14. They didn't only tell him not to join the current churches... but they conversed, taught and explained glorious things to him. Who knows how long Joseph could have been in that grove of trees. I never thought of it that way before...
  • The world needed relgious leaders such as Clement, Cletus, Linus, and Luther in the Middle ages. They helped to open the minds of the people so when JS organized the Church, the world was okay with this new and Enlightened relgion. The world was forced under a strong but un-unified Christian belief at the time. If it weren't for these men being brave enough to break up the molds, JS would have been ignored and looked down upon even more. Then the American dream of relgious freedom blossomed. Relgious excitement flourished. Heavenly Father truly prepared the world for Joseph.

2 Beautiful Weddings!

Chills and Boyfriend!




Kellie & Blake!























the CUTEST wedding favors ever! gum balls!

LOVE our LIFE together!

End of Summer party!

The St George Fire Department put on a big dinner for all the Firefighters and their wives- no kids! It was our first time going to a big Fire Party and it was soo fun!! I got to hang out and meet some of the wives and Kirk got his time with the guys. It made me so excited to be involved in such an awesome team. One lady I met, Jenny, has been involved in Fire with her husband for 46 years. Everyone was so welcoming, nice and full of energy! We just loved it! Plus the GIANT BBQ in the fire station was delicious! I can't wait for more big parties! I'm so proud of my husband too!



THE DOG PARK!
All rules and trainig goes out the window!
Moja was so tuckered out that she was sleeping in the water bowl. It was soo funny! I've never seen her do that before


I would have never imagined it in my wildest dreams...the dog park. The yucky, goobery, wet, stinky dog park. Full of slobbering and pooping dogs who have nothing better to do then chew on each other. It's quite an experience! One that we get to enjoy several times a week :) hahaha
My Sleepy Man!
It takes SECONDS, literally, for him to crash after a long hot battle with a fire. It can be pretty funny sometimes!



HALLE!
Isnt' she a doll!? I tried to take a cute pic with her of us swimming but it just didn't happen! But i loved this pic. Look at the CUTE CUTE chubby little finger poking through my earring :) Oh i just fell in love with this sweet thing. Thanks for letting me babysit mommy Brenna!
