Introducing.........

Introducing the newly established Moore Family! This is a long post but I have a lot to include in this and for documentation purposes I don't want to leave much out.. and yes... its sappy.. funny.. and well... its my fairytale! 

So I had done a lot with  online dating and I had just about had it with the creepers! I dated one guy who was flat out amazing.. We talked and dated for a total of 6-ish months. Things just weren't how they needed to be. It was a really heart breaking break up. Then I went on dates with another guy and that didn't work.. In between all of this I went on lots of other dates with different guys. Some gentlemen, some were.. well... just plain SCUM! One night I seriously had had it! I took one last look.. decided to send out one last message, and whatever happens happens. I replied to BoyScoutExperiment. The next day I had an email in my inbox from BoyScoutExperiment.. shocking.. as this is how this stuff always goes. I took a look at the email. 



Hey Kenzie! Thanks for your response. Do you know Brad Wagstaff? We served our missions together in Thailand. He was one of the best people I ever knew.

Anyway, I'd be thrilled for the opportunity to get to know you. Please, tell me more about yourself.


So we started emailing back and forth. It was of the best email exchanges EVER. He sent me the following pics!




I was soooooo AMAZED with Ross! He was honest, open.... but hold on Kenzie! You need to meet him in person! So we arranged our first phone call. The call was several hours long. It was as if we were old friends. It was the most amazing phone call I have ever had. It was life changing...  We decided to meet! 

THE MEET: December 21st 2011

We had been chatting all day on G-Chat. I got his address and I pull up to his house... I know I know... you don't do that on the first meet, but I did.. so there! So.. I had driven by several times... sooo nervous & excited. I pull up to his house and sit there praying that everything will be safe and that I wouldn't get raped ;) but really.  So I walk up his LONG walk down the middle of his yard.. trying to keep calm. I walk up the stairs and he opens his door (he had clearly been watching for me to come), we say hello and we walk in to his living room. He leans in and kisses me.. I know.. fast mover.. but guess what...?? I kissed him back. He had made me a delicious Thai dish. We talked and talked. It was fantastic. 

Things went in the following order:
12/21/2012: First Met. First kiss. Love at first site.
12/22/2011: Met the kiddos. Decided to get married.. Dont judge when you know you know!!!
12/23/2011: Ross met my Family on my birthday. My family instantly approved! And so did Amanda!
12/24/2011: Ross met my extended family, and I met his family
12/25/2011: We spent time at both families house
12/31/2012: Spent New Years together
2/2012: Got my ring
4/6/2012: Got Married in the Mount Timp Temple.

We have spent every day together since the day we met. I know for a certainty that this is the man that the Lord made for me. I know that we are meant to be. He is the man of my dreams. 

That my friends is how I went from Single to Moore.

Enjoy a flood of pictures!! After all this is a catch up post! Also they are in no particular order what-so-ever.

God's Love Never Ceases...

I was driving the other day and heard this song for the first time. The lyrics fit my Mothers stories of cancer to a 'T', the age, number of kids, the husband.. etc... This song touched me so much. It reminded me of how much I love my Mother and how grateful I was that I was old enough to help her through it and how grateful I am that she is still here with me. She listens to me and is happy with me and sad with me. She bends over backwards to help me with anything I need. She is a wonderful example of hard work and unwavering faith (if it ever wavered she never let it show). 


She worked full time through her cancer and tried her absolute hardest to be there for my 2 sisters and I. I remember her scheduling her chemo around her days off with work so she could have the weekend to be super sick so she could go back to work being really sick. I remember her coming home after working each day and sitting in her recliner often times crying, because she was trying so hard and it was wearing her to the bone. We had SO many people, SO very many people come and help us. Several people flew in from all over the states to come help, people flooded in from everywhere. Why you ask, because of how amazing my Mother is. She has touched the lives of hundreds of people and will continue as she fights her way through what at times seems like never ending trails.


Dear Mom,


I want to let you know how very much I love you and how grateful I am to be your daughter. You have been there for me when I have made the most insane decisions with the craziest consequences (breaking both of my arms). I just want you to know that I am truly honored to be your daughter. Thank you for your incredible example of faith and strength and COURAGE! I want you to know that no matter the future trials that will come in your life I will always love you through it all and be there for you. Thank you for raising me in the gospel and teaching me all that I needed and what I will continue to need in my life. Thank you for bending over backwards to help me and encourage me through my experiences  in life. I love you mom! If I can be even half the Mother you are I know I will be doing GREAT! I love you so much!


Love your baby girl.
