Valentine's Day Things

I love getting flowers every so often. I always want flowers for Valentine's Day but we usually have our Shaeffer family Hawaii trip within a few days of Valentine's so it just doesn't make sense for Marty to get me flowers and then only enjoy them a day or two before we're gone. This year Marty surprised me with some pretty flowers ahead of time. Isn't that so sweet? I've been loving them this whole weekend :)

One thing that I've enjoyed since being married is taking traditions from my family and from Marty's family and establishing traditions in our home. One tradition I really like from Marty's family is Christmas and Valentine's sheets for the kid(s). I loved picking out Emi's Valentine's sheets and putting them on her mattress this week. After I put them on, she wanted me to put her in her crib because she noticed they were new. It was so cute!

Life is Good

Today was great.  I got to workout, take a nap, shower, grab a bialy at Kossars, and spend quality time with my family. What more could a girl ask for? Anddddd... We had the biggest win today. Before we headed to art class, Emi put on her coat and shoes without me even asking. She has never gotten herself ready to go out the door without reminders. I was (and still am) blown away! (Marty told me that it just goes to show how much Emi loves her art class.) Mom and Macy time while sister was at preschool.

3 am Prayer

This week has been rough for our family. We've all been sick with bad sore throats and coughs and it seems like there's no end in sight. Add on that it's quarter end (Marty's busy season), and we've been barely surviving. I think I'd be horrified if I added up the total time Emi and I have sat watching shows this week. Yesterday, I finally thought Emi and I were on the up and up and then she had two hysterical crying fits during her nap. It was so sad. At night, we put her down for bed, and she slept great the first hour or two before Marty and I went to bed. As Marty and I were going to bed I told him I was close to my breaking point. (He's been the one who's been sickest and been working lots of hours...so he should be the one complaining but I was telling him I was instead. haha.) Anyway, just a little bit after we went to bed Emi started crying again. Marty went in and helped her and she was able to go down for a little bit but then she just kept get...

Welcome to New York

It's been forever since I last posted, and I don't want to skip over all the amazing things that have happened the past few months, but it's just too daunting at this point to catch up on everything...so I'm just going to have to get over it and start somewhere. We moved to NYC!!! I still can't believe it. We had the best support team getting us here from CO->UT->NYC, and are now comfortably in our apartment.  Mom helped us pack up in CO. She even painted our fence in CO before we left! Dad drove from Ut->Co->Ut to help us bring some of our stuff home. Angela came out to NYC with us and helped entertain Emi and get us all settled and organized in our new place. This picture was taken in Ut before we headed out to NYC. I love it! At the SLC airport before heading to JFK. *Not pictured: Dan helped figure out my flights from Co to Ut when I was about to have a breakdown because our flight kept getting delayed (He got back surgery while we were in Ut or else...
