18 Years.....

So today is our 18th anniversary. It's hard to believe that it has been that long. Time just flies so fast! We have a stronger bond now than we did when we were first married, even though I didn't think that was possible at the time. Love definitely changes and evolves over time, and it's like that Brad Paisley song says,

"And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea,
stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then"

This says it perfectly. Happy Anniversary!

A LONG time!!!

Well, it's been forever since I have blogged about anything. Life is pretty much the same as usual. I have applied for a job with JetBlue, but haven't heard anything as of yet. The kids are getting bigger every day. Michael had his 4th birthday in September and Emma had her 3rd birthday in October. So, the slacker that I am, HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY EMMA and MICHAEL!!!
I can't believe how time just seems to speed up. The older I get, the faster it goes! Anyhow, I hope to be on top of the blogging a little better this year, but I'm not going to promise anything! :)

More Firsts....

Here is another first, Makenzie lost her first baby tooth today! I can't believe we are already at that stage! Man, time flies! It seems like it was just yesterday that she was getting her first tooth and we waited forever for it to come in, and now she is starting to lose them. Our baby is growing up!!

A week of firsts

So this has been a week of firsts at our house. Makenzie started all day school, and loved it. Mom had a hard time with it, I missed her a lot. The biggest first of all is that Kenny started college. Yep, you read that right. Kenny is going to the USU extension out here, and has attended 2 of his 3 classes so far. He is really liking it, and I am so glad that he is finally doing it. He has been wanting to go back to school for a long time. I think that he is going to do really well. I am proud of him.
Makenzie had her 6th birthday on the 22nd, and I can't believe how fast she is growing up. I will get pictures of my school kids and the cake posted soon.

Camping

So we needed to get away from the whole job hunt and subsequent rejection life for a while and decided to go camping for a few days. It was so nice to get away from all of that. Makenzie was really upset that we had to come home so that mom could go to work, she wanted to stay longer.
We went to the Nebo Loop, it was beautiful and the weather was perfect for the first 2 days. It rained most of Sunday, but it cleared up just in time for dinner, thank goodness. Hopefully Kenny will find a job soon so that we can go again. We really had a lot of fun! It is fun to go with just our little family, but we sure missed going with all of Kenny's family. Maybe we can still do that later on this year.

WOO HOO!!!

We are DONE with diapers at our house!!! WOO HOO!!! No more money being literally thrown in the the trash! This is a great day!!
I think Emma was almost as easy as Michael to potty train. I wish that I would have listened to everyone when Makenzie was little. The key really is to wait until they are ready, and then it is a breeze. So for those of you that are going to go down this road in the future, I hope that you listen better than I did and wait until they are ready! It will save you a lot of unnecessary headaches!

Anniversary

Yesterday was our 17th anniversary. I can't believe that we have been married so long! It feels like it was just yesterday somedays and somedays it feels like forever.
I have known Kenny for over half of my life now, and I still love him as much (if not more), than I did 17 years ago!
We definitely beat the odds getting married so young, and I can't imagine life any other way. I love you, Kenny! Here's to forever!
