Love Is In the Air

13 years ago, today, I married my best friend. I have put our story on here many years in a row so I am not going to do that today. I am going to say that I think the past few years have been our very best ever. It is amazing how going through tough times can make or break you. We have been strengthened. We are a stronger couple than we have ever been. We have learned to communicate in ways that most people can't we are TRULY happy. We are in love more today than when we were married. I always thought that was impossible. I heard people say it but turns out it is really true! I am thankful for the hard times. They turned us into what we are now. I am thankful for the good times, they made the hard times bearable. I am so incredibly thankful for an amazing husband who puts our family and the gospel above all other things. I am so blessed and thankful that I can appreciate this about him.

This past weekend we got to take a weekend away, alone. No kids. It was so so so much fun! We haven't done that in so long. It was so nice to be able to remember what it is like just to be us. We were able to focus on each other and being like kids in the snow again. I am thankful for the time we had to relax and be together. No stressing about work or kids or schedules. I am so relaxed and ready for what comes next! 

Happy Anniversary Andrew!

Pressure

I went to the Hematologist and we talked a lot about pressure. The past couple of years I have had what I thought to be seizures. It turns out they might actually be TIA's or mini strokes. YIKES! She grilled me on all of the things that I do during a week and we decided I like to pack in the pressure. Some is self inflicted and some can't be helped. I just really wish I knew where our lives are headed. We are going to lose our house. We have no idea where we will go. We are trying to be ok with it. We love it here. We LOVE our ward and we love our neighbors. We know that wherever we end up we will be just fine. It just is sad. After all that our little family has been through lately I am just truly grateful we have each other. A house is just a thing. Our family is everything. I am thankful that wherever we will be, we will be there together. I just pray we can make the best of it!

Back in Business

Many years ago my dad sold his office complex and retired. This past week dad went back to work and is back at the office after getting it back. I must say it is so much fun to see Chase running around down there and having Cole flashbacks. When Cole was born 11 years ago I took him to work with me every day. He was raised in the office. Brides would come and go and sometimes never even know he was there. He was so content to sit in his playpen and play with toys. I love seeing Chase love the same things as his oldest brother. It is quite the feeling of deja vu.
