Gratitude

Things I'm grateful for today:
-We were running very late for music this morning, and instead of rushing I just walked at a normal pace and it was so pleasant! 
-Spending time outside with the girls. Emi ran around a field with friends for an hour and then we played at the playground after school with some drizzly rain.
-Playing "Silver" with Keith and Jonelle O. and getting to know them better.
-Snickerdoodles! 
-I got to shower by myself this morning!
-Macy took 2 great naps today. And I also got to nap.
-The green beans Marty made at dinner today were sooo delicious.
-AC Window Units in our apartment.
-Marty heard back what his grade was on one of his classes (it was good!), and also finished his last final.
-The mom who stopped me and told me I was doing a good job as a parent as my child was having a meltdown (and that the tantrum days will pass).

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...

Easter 2025

Image
Easter 2025 was one for the books. I spoke in church about how the events of Easter have impacted my faith and I was really nervous about it, but I think it went well! I got the sweetest text from one of my YW's moms after I spoke that made my whole day.  After church we had Kimber and Drew and the boys over for an Easter egg hunt and brunch, and then in the evening we went to Andrea and Dan M.'s house for dinner. I was companions with their daughter, Kenzie, on the mission. They had an Easter egg hunt set up for Emi and another friend's kiddos and made the yummiest Easter spread. Andrea asked that we not bring anything and just enjoy the meal! She is an angel. Isn't this bow just so cute?! Emi with her little church besties. They're moving this summer too (the opposite direction of us), and we will miss them! I love our fam so much! Can't wait for baby #2 to join the crew. Emi's other besties! She loves Bowen and baby Brye.
