I have the greatest parents.


Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Now a brag post for my parents.

You have taught me to/how:

-work hard
-love others and to serve others
-be an example
-have fun
-enjoy life
-be kind to your family and support them
-be a good friend
-fulfill my church callings as I should
and on, and on, and on.

Have a great day together. We think of you lots and hope one day we can live closer to you.

Don't worry Mike, it's just a number!



It's Mikes birthday today and can I just tell you how glad I am that he is in this world. And I am the lucky one now who gets to be with him for eternity.

Here is a little brag list for you about my wonderful husband:

-he makes french toast for us every weekend
-he makes me laugh
-he says and shows me he loves me
-he is smart. He reads any historical and news document he can get his hands on. I warn anyone that plays Trivial Pursuit with him. He will blow your socks off.
-he has the most beautiful blue eyes. and a cute smirky smile.
-he loves the gospel. He is a worthy priesthood holder.
-he supports me in what I do.
-he cares about how I feel and does what he can to make me feel better if I am down.
....and on, and on, and on.

Happy Birthday Mike. I love you.

We are addicted to....

Murder She Wrote! On our couch, in front of our TV every day at 5:00 is where you will find Mike and I. It has our one guaranteed hour to spend together before Mike goes to class at night. Although Mike is now done and passed with flying colors.

We each take a guess as to who we think is guilty (Mike's idea). It's a lot of fun to see if we are right.

We have decided to cut our cable so we aren't in front of the TV anymore (or as much!) and the library only has one DVD of the show which we have already rented! If you see us around shaking nervously it is because we are going through withdrawal.

We will miss you Jessica Fletcher. That is until we give in and go by the series on DVD.

Music to my ears

Mike and I bought a piano. Thanks to Josh, Armes, and Mark who helped Mike move it into the house. Thank you Carrie, for making my dreams come true!

I am SO excited about it. It feels good to have my own piano. I am almost in heaven.

It is amazing to me how a piano makes a house more homey. Such a good feeling.

Same old, same old

I know no news is good news sometimes but I sure wish I had something.

I got nothin'.

Well, other than the fact I am now the young women's president in my ward, and now that it has been a couple of months I think it has sunk in and I think I am finally starting to get the hang of things. This calling was a shocker but I love it. I do miss my nursery kids though. If I could just have some kids of my own missing my nursery kids would go away.

Darn kids. Darn timing. Darn waiting. and waiting, and waiting. Waiting is getting a little old and I am starting to feel like I want to just give up but something keeps me going.

As hard as it is to think I might not be able to have children on my own I think I am finally okay with the idea of starting the paperwork for adoption. I have seen a few blogs lately that talk about adoption and those who have been blessed because of it.

I have to apologize to my family for not telling them this first but I think if I just get this out while I feel like I can't hold it in any longer it will be good. And I am realizing as I sit here crying that I am holding in WAY too many feelings, emotions, heart ache, and dreams.

Wow, talk about opening your heart out to the whole world. ah.

On a less emotional level, we planted our garden last weekend, thanks to Mike's mom and dad and Dawna. Thank you for coming to visit. It was good to hear from Curtis and Leigh too. And Grandma Lil. I love Sundays because of church and the opportunity to talk to family. Not that we can't or don't during the week but that is our scheduled time. and I love it.

We planted tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, pickling cucumbers, corn, potatoes, peas, carrots and onions. I can already taste the crunchy carrots now, freshly cleaned of the garden dirt.

yum.

Does it get any better than this?

Mike and I won tickets to the Jessie Ferrell, Brooks and Dunn and Alan Jackson concert last night! It was SO good. Mike and I are huge fans of Alan Jackson and I just loved how relaxed and easy going he was. He really cares about who is in the crowd. During one of his songs he had video of Saskatoon!

The whole concert was awesome. It was nice to spend some time with Mike.






Did you notice the picture of me by the trucks? That was just before the concert.

The picture of the snow is what it looked like when the concert ended!
