Our Busy Week...

Wednesday May 21, 2008

Kevin and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It has been wonderful, and I grow to love him more everyday. He is an amazing man, and he works so hard to provide for us as well as go to school. Although I think I'm counting the days more than he is until he is finished. I love you baby, thank you for all you do.

We decided to go up to Park City for a few days just to get out. And of course the weather was crappy, just as it was here. But we still managed to get some shopping in, as well as eating out, and relaxing in the hot tub. Kev planned the whole trip and he did an amazing job. We stayed in a Marriott suite, it was so nice, it was almost the same size as our house! (which isn't that big, but it was for a hotel room) I wish we could have stayed longer, but we only had a sitter for 2 days.

Saturday...

We went over to Kev's parents house and had a BBQ, and watched movies. Then later that night we went out and roasted marshmallows, and made smores. I love roasting marshmallows, and I'm glad we did it, because we usually go camping over memorial weekend, and with the weather so bad we didn't. But at least we got the goods and the great camp fire smell. The best part is we got to go home and shower right after.

Monday...

We went to Kev's parents house again, We had family fly in from Arizona that we don't see that often so it was nice to spend time with them. We mostly ate more food, and just hung out. We did end up over at the church later to watch the guys play basketball, and let the kids run around.

Wednesday...

Kev has had Wednesdays off until school starts again, so we wanted to make a trip to the zoo, we have been trying for the last month. But it seems that every Wednesday is crappy weather. But we finally made it, and it was worth the wait. The weather was absolutely perfect, sunny not too hot, with a little breeze. We had so much fun, Tyler loved the animals of course. His favorite animal is a monkey (especially curious George), but he likes elephants and he was especially fond of the snakes, Yuck! We watched the bird show, and I thought he would love it, because he loves birds. But he wasn't too fond of them flying right over our heads. It was pretty amazing, and very beautiful birds.




Well now back to reality, it's time to start packing. We have to be out in exactly 12 days, and I have yet to start. I dread packing, I love the unpacking part but I hate packing. And I hate that our stuff is going to be in storage for 3 months. But I have to keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it when we get into our new home. I am definitely excited about that. I am really sad to move, since this was our first home we ever bought, but lets face it we need something bigger. So if you don't hear from me for awhile, feel free to stop by and say Hi, and maybe pack some boxes for me. Love ya.

Update

An update on the house...
Well we are for sure selling the house, unless of course they back out, they do have until the 30th. But they seem pretty excited to move in, and we are really sad to go. We had our inspection today, just to make sure everything is running great. I would sure hope so we've only been here 3 1/2 years. I'm getting sader by the day and dreding the packing more and more. But I've got to get going I only have 3 weeks left!
The good news is we are most likely going to build in Foxboro again, nothing is a for sure yet, but after looking at well over a dozen houses we feel the best about building. Plus we get to pick out our colors and what not. And I will get my Kitchen upgraded for sure this time. We will keep you all posted on what we decide, but from the looks of it, we will still be in the same ward, Yeah! I know that's what you were all waiting to hear. Unless of course we split again, but we won't think about that.

BOXES...

As I'm sure most of you know, we have our house for sale. I know it's very sad, but true. We are going to miss our ward very much (unless of course we find a house in the same ward, that would be sweet.) But anyways it's time to move on and get something a little bigger, our cute little man Tyler is over taking our living room with his toys. So we've had an offer on our house..yeah..nothing is final yet, but it got me thinking that maybe I should start packing some of our stuff, because we have accrued a lot since living here. So I am on the look out for boxes, if anyone has any lying around or knows of anyone that has some please let me know. I'm sure we could use all the boxes we can get. Thanks everyone, we will keep you posted.

The good thing about blogging is that even if we do move we can still keep in touch very easily.

Baby Lincoln's arrival

I always love when babies are born, it always makes me think how sweet and pure their little spirits are. It makes you want to be little again, when you didn't have to think about all the evil in this world, and have to worry about how you are going to keep your head above water. I just love being around newborns for that reason. They just bring peace to my soul, I love looking at all their tiny features and the uniqueness about them. Our good friends Anthony and Gina had a sweet baby boy on Friday May 2, 2008 and we were lucky enough to be a part in celebrating Lincoln's birth. We love you guys and are so happy for you. We wish you the best of luck with your new little one.

We watched Aria the day after Lincoln was born, and then we all went to the hospital to visit. Tyler and Aria actually did fairly well for 2 year olds in a hospital. But they were both very excited to hold baby Lincoln, and they did a good job at being careful. Aria was a lot better than Tyler, but I guess it's that gentleness that us girls have. I think she is very proud to be a big sister, despite the little bit of jealousy she may have, but she is doing a good job.
