10th Anniversary

We spent a wonderful 10th anniversary together at Lake Las Vegas. We shopped, ate, and slept in!! It was just so great to be together without the distraction of kids, work, church callings, and marathon training. I look over these past 10 years and can't help but feel humble at all our blessings. Every step of the way we have seen the hand of the lord, especially this year with our big move and nicks recent job change (going out on his own). Through all the ups and downs we have had each other to lean on and offer support.

Some Craziness Just Happened


Last weekend was so crazy, one for the books! I was at the temple with Emily when I get a text from Nick saying that he broke his arm skateboarding with the girls. OUCH! We ran him over to Dad's office and sure enough he had a radial head fracture. Luckily is just requires a splint/sling and no cast. But it was sore and he can't do anything to help me around the house or with the kids. Which leads me to my next thing. Jack is a nightmare! Like 15/10 bad!! Jack why oh why are you wreaking havoc like this on my poor life. He started climbing out of his bed about a month ago and has not slept through the night since. He climbs out and kicks his door (which we have baby locked) over and over. He will go hours kicking it and screaming "mom where are you?" Since Nick is hurt he can't help me at night with him. Jack is also refusing naps...lets say we are all sleep deprived! During the day he does everything naughty you can imagine! He gets in my car and eats all my gum, climbs in the fridge, breaks everything, finds and eats all our chapstick, puts toothpaste in his hair...you name it he has done it. My sweet little boy has turned in a tornado of crazy. On top of all this crazy I was made Young Women's President for our ward. Holy cow I am stressed. Excited but so under water. YW is the busiest calling in the ward and I am struggling to keep up. But I know I am there for a purpose and that this adjustment will pass. Next week is Nick and I's 10 year anniversary and I guess I am officially an adult right?! Life sure is wonderful, fast passed, and meaningful all wrapped into one amazing package. I could never image a life filled with so much love, joy, laughter, sleepless nights, and everyday simplicity!
