10 YEARS !!!!

On Friday, February 26 Lars and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary! When I think about it, I really just can't believe we've been married that long already. I actually remember being on our honeymoon in Hawaii (a couple days into it) and thinking about how fun it was to say that we'd only been married for a few days while other people were there celebrating 5, 10, 15, 25 years! I even thought about how it would be fun to come back for our 10 year anniversary. But thought it was so far away.

And here we are already!

It blows me away.

February 26, 2000...

And us on Friday...(in Vegas)...guess we didn't make it back to Hawaii!

But we still had fun celebrating in Vegas.

It's crazy to think of all of the things that have happened and changed in the past 10 years. That would be a LONG post.

So I'll just wrap it up here.

Happy Anniversary hun!

I'm so proud of our 10 years together. We have had lots of great times, made tons of fun memories, and best of all have been blessed with our two amazing little boys. We've had ups and downs and have stuck with eachother through it all.

Marriage is hard work sometimes, so I think 10 years is a

big deal!

Here's to many, many more!

Love you :)

(stay tuned for the Vegas post)...

Guess it's time...

For a new post.

Even though I haven't really felt like blogging at all.

For you Aunt Kelli :)

We love you....

My heart is breaking...

For my sister Kelli.

Whose fiance Jimmy passed away last weekend.

This is the hardest post I've done yet on my blog.
I don't even know what to write. Usually words just come so easily to me and at times I can go on and on and on.

Tonight all I can do is cry.

For Kelli, for Jimmy, for Jimmy's Mom, and the rest of his family who are suffering such a huge loss.

Kelli spent the last 3 1/2 years with Jimmy and he was her best friend and the love of her life.The few times I did get to be around him, I really liked him.

He was awesome with my boys... I regret that I didn't get to know him better while I had the chance and am sad that he never became my brother-in-law. When I was around the two of them, I could see how very much they loved eachother. The years they spent together were an adventure. Jimmy was a traveling nurse like Kelli...that's how they met. So each new job/town they went to was a new place to explore and they spent all of their free time outdoors doing all of the things they loved to do together...hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, camping, fishing, skiing, riding Jimmy's motorcycle...you name it.

They really LIVED.They saw so many great places together.

Kelli, nothing I can ever say will make the pain you are feeling right now go away. I would take it from you and make it my own in a heartbeat if I could. I am praying for you constantly and can only hope that you can somehow find peace. Never doubt how much Jimmy loved you and how much of a positive difference you made in his life in the time you had together.

"Keep the faith" as Grandpa always said to us and know that God is always at your side going through this horrible time with you.

I love you...

Jimmy...

You will be missed by so many people whose lives you've touched.

To all of you who read my blog...

Please pray with me.

Let's go build a SNOWMAN!

What a nice day it is today!

Finally God has blessed us with some sunshine in Cache Valley ...and it feels so good! We weren't about to let our nice weather go to waste today. We have had way too many ugly inversion days. And last week was a long week with all of us having colds and being inside almost every day. So now that we're mostly feeling better, I decided (whether or not the sun was shining) that we were getting out for a walk so I could get some exercise. It's amazing what it does for your mood...it felt awesome! The sun started peeking through the clouds while we were out, and it didn't feel cold at all, so I told Ashton that he should get his snow clothes on, call a friend and go out and play when we got home. Oh and we got about 9 new inches of snow yesterday, so there is LOTS to play in! Of course when Gunnar saw Ashton getting all of his stuff on, he wanted to get his on, so I decided why not go enjoy it...and help them build a snowman.

Well they were pretty busy playing...... so I made it mostly,

but they helped me accessorize him...

Pretty cute isn't he?

Almost good enough to eat~! ha!

Please stick around Mr. Sunshine...(even if you melt our snowman, that's okay we'll forgive you.)
