Last week was mine and Jake's six year anniversary. We had a free night stay at a hotel, so we decided to use it. Jake's parents watched the boys for us, and we went down to Richfield. It was so nice to get away, just the two of us. I love Jake so much. He is my best friend, and I love spending time with him. We went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant, than we were going to go to the movies, but they weren't showing anything we wanted to see. Our next option was to rent a movie in the hotel, but just our luck, that hotel didn't rent movies. So we ended up watching a March Madness basketball game in our hotel room. It may not sound very fun to some, but we had a fun night. We went to Wendy's and got cookie-dough ice cream Frostys to eat while we watched. It ended up being a really fun weekend. I am so grateful for the past six years. We have two wonderful boys and another one on the way, Jake has a great job, and we are very happy together. Since we have been here in Manti, we have taken the boys to the Snow College AC swimming pool a couple of times. At first they were terrified, but after they realized they weren't going to sink with their life jackets, on they turned into little fish.

James and his horses.

James has been having me draw him a horse, or print one out almost everyday for him to color. Than he plays with his pictures like they are real horses. He has them sleep on his bed with him at night. He fell asleep on Grandma's bed while he and his horses were watching a horse movie (Spirit). He loves his horses.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The boys put their green on, so no one would pinch them.

We had a feast of green food to celebrate the holiday: green popcorn, green grapes, green cupcakes, green jello, green salad, and even green ranch. Jake makes fun of me for being such a big kid. I just love any excuse to celebrate.

We are in Manti now, and getting settled. Jake is liking his new job, and the hours have been great. I love being able to see him a little after five instead of close to seven. He has a nice big corner office too. The boys have been having fun with their uncle Matthew. He has been so nice to share his room and all of his toys with them. We feel very blessed. Last week we found a renter for our house. They called on Thursday and asked if they could be in that Saturday. We were very busy Friday. It seemed like everything that could go wrong, did. Someone who had come to look at our house had knocked over our mailbox, Jake's license expired so we had to run him to the DMV before he could drive the moving truck, and we still hadn't fixed the window James broke. It was a little stressful, but we got everything moved out of the house Friday night. Then we drove down to Manti, unloaded some things until close to midnight, went to bed, got up and unloaded the rest. Then we rushed off to Vernal, Utah for my cousin's wedding. My beautiful cousin Lindsey was sealed in the Vernal Temple.

We were grateful that we were able to be there with her. Sunday morning we woke up bright and early so that we could drive back to Eagle Mountain in time for our stake conference. We said goodbye to many of our friends, and then drove down to Manti. Now here we are. Life is crazy, but life is good.
