Anniversary

Today Marty and I celebrated our 3rd Year Anniversary. We both agreed we'd do something small this year because we have Japan coming up. Marty came home for lunch and we made waffles together, and then in the evening we drove past our house and went to an ice cream shop. Sweet and simple.

Call me cheesy haha but today I've been thinking a lot about how it's important in a marriage to choose each other. When Marty and I were thinking about getting married, I prayed and wanted to know whether he was "the one." I prayed, and I essentially felt like God was leaving decision was up to me. Marty had many qualities I wanted in a husband (and some bonus ones that I didn't even know I wanted until I met him) and could make me happy but it was up to me to decide. I decided to choose him...and I'm so grateful I did. 

What I didn't realize, though, is how important it is to choose each other again and again in a marriage. 

Choose to see past disagreements. Choose to forgive. Choose to put each other first. Choose to see the good in each other. Choose to love each other. 

Love you forever boy!

I figured I'd be pregnant within the first few months of the new year, but nope. God had other plans. I was called as YW President in January (a shock to everyone including me!) and that consumed a lot of my time and energy throughout the year. It's been a rewarding experience.  I started weight training for the first time in my life and discovered that I really loved it. Last December, HR closed their rec center childcare and I was crushed because that meant I could no longer go to their daytime classes. I thought nothing could compare to those classes. But I was so wrong. I have loved the cardio/weight training at Chuze and have loved going to classes with my friends several days each w...

Baby #2

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)
