11 Years

Happy Anniversary. 11 Years!

10 Years

Whoa - What!  Mike and I have been married for 10 years now.  Can you believe it?  It is kinda crazy!  We have lived in 1 house, 1 apartment, had 4 pregnancies and 3 babies (boys!). We have had 10 cars between us and 11 jobs (including the Navy).  We have been in 4 different ward buildings since being married.  We have had 4 dogs (one of which wasn't really ours, we just rescued him for my mother in law) We have done numerous house projects.  It has been a crazy wild ride, but I am glad I have Mike riding with me.  Happy 10th Anniversary Mike!

8 Years

8 Years ago today, I married my best friend.  I seems like just yesterday, but at the same time it seems like FOREVER ago.  We have of course been through some ups and downs and have 2 great little guys!  We are in a house that we tolerate :)  We have been through a LOT of jobs in the last 8 years, a lot of cars, and a lot of change.  But through it all, he has been there for me and I am thankful for him and his support!  I love you Mike..Happy Anniversary!

4 Years

Only 2 more years to go Reserves and then 2 year IRR (Inactive Ready Reserve) and Mike can get out of the Navy if he wants!  He has been in the Navy for 4 years:)

He is still an E3 and is working on being promoted to Petty Officer, we will see how that goes.  If he gets bumped up to Petty Office he thinks he wants to stay in the Navy, but honestly it changes every day.  We will see what the future holds for us and the Navy!  Happy 4 Years:)

6 Years

I know I just posted about celebrating 5 years at Provo Canyon School, but today I have been with them for 6 years.  Can you believe it?  I certainly can't.  This is the LONGEST I have ever been at a job (except wife)  Crazy right?

1 Year

Today is the 1 year anniversary of Mike's job at Sinclair.  I am thankful for them and what they have done for him and taught him this last year.  I know that he is a better mechanic because of the last 15 months of Mechanic jobs he has and it will only serve him better in the future.  Happy 1 year at Sinclair:)

7 Years

Happy Anniversary to Mike & Me! YAY! 7 years. That feels like a long time. It feels like we have gone through lifetimes by now. We celebrated the day by taking Gavin to his 3 year well child check up, dropping the kids off with the babysitter, going to Tucanos and drinking lots of Caffeine, and going to the park with the kids for a dinner picnic and off to icecream to finish out the day. It was a great day! Happy Anniversary Mike!

3 Years

Half way through! Mike has been in the Navy for 3 years now. He only has 3 more years of Reserves left then he has 2 years of IRR (Inactive Ready Researve) then he needs to make that ever important decision of resigning for 8 more years or not. I know he would like to move up the chain more, so that is going to be our goal for this year. Right now he is a E3, so we are going to move him on up!

5 Years

So as of today, I have OFFICALLY been working at my job for 5 years now! That is the longest I have EVER been at a job, unless you count school (as in k-12) or being a wife. That is a job, isn't it? I have had my ups and downs at this job, but it is all in the attitude. I have learned to have a better attitude about it & since then, it has been a great place for me to be. Hey, it helps pay the bills, doesn't it? I am super good at what I do & I really enjoy doing it, even if it is dealing with insurance companies. Happy 5 years for me!

6 Years

Happy Anniversary to Mike and I! 6 Years ago we jumped into something crazy together and it was been 6 years of ups and downs and happy and sads, but it has been worth it! Thanks Mike for finding me, choosing me and marrying me. Thanks for building a life with me and starting a family with me and working as hard as you do for us! Hopefully soon something that we have done right will pay off! Here is to 6+ more years together! Love you!

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Mikey baby! I can't believe we have been married for 5 years! I seems like just yesterday we met, then we were getting married, buying our first house together, joining the military & then having a baby. So many ups & downs the last 5 years, but lets be honest. I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else, even the hard times! I look back at all our accomplishments & it amazes me how much we have grown. As individuals, as a couple & as parents! Hopefully the next 5 years will be better then the last 5! Here is to many more experiences, joys, pains, happiness & lessons! I love you!

A look throughout the last 5 years:

2005: Got Married
2006: Bought a dog, moved into our first house
2007: New Jobs, living life as we know it
2008: Joined the military, Miscarried, Pregnant
2009: Our first Child is born
2010: Stay Tuned...

Busy Month

I NEED to add pictures, this blog is looking a little bland & bare. Anywho...it is officially MARCH. The busiest month of the year for us I think. It is the month of:

*Gavin's 1st Birthday
*Gavin's 1st Birthday Party
*A Mini Vacay to St. George
*Gavin's 1st Birthday Photo Shoot
*Our 5th Anniversary
*12 Month Well Check visit
*Our 1st 5k
*Daylight Saving Time
*Spring
*Other Birthdays & Anniversaries

At the beginning of last month (February) I was really dreading today. I was remembering the 1st of March last year & I was kind of dreading it then too. Last year because it was just getting closer to when Gavin would be here & I didn't feel ready. I knew he would eventually have to come out, I didn't know it was going to be in 8 days. At the beginning of last month I was dreading it because that would mean that Gavin is 1, no longer a baby, more a toddler. But today, it is whole different story. I am anticipating it, I am looking forward to it, I am reeling in the busy-ness of this month & I am LOVING it! It is like I had an attitude adjustment or an epiphany of the greatness to come...or something like that!

So MARCH - I have 3 words for you...BRING. IT. ON! This month is going to fly by & in a blink of an eye it will be April before we know it!

Happy Anniversary

Happy 4 year Anniversary Mike! I can't believe sometimes it has been that long & now we have a baby! YAY! I can't believe what we have been through the last couple months & we have just made it out bigger & stronger! Love you & Happy Anniversary!
