3 years and counting

Three years ago today I married the most amazing man. Never in a million years did I picture marrying someone like Christian. Against all odds our lunch dates turned into nightly "hang-outs". Nightly hang-outs turned into dates (at least that's what Christian called them) and dates turned into countless moments staring into each others' eyes, wondering why life had been so cruel to keep us apart for so long.
Our big day finally came and months later the most special blessing of our lives awaited us, we were fortunate enough to give birth to two beautiful daughters. A gift from God that was provided to us for the remainder of eternity.

The spirit has taught the two of us that this, undeniably, was meant to happen. We were meant for each other and the Lord had plans of our meeting from long ago.

I love you more than anything Christian. The last few weeks have been the most challenging in our marriage for a variety of reasons but I think back to the day we got married and it brings a big smile to my face. There is no doubt in my mind that you are the man that was sent to be my eternal companion and furthermore, the father of my children. Thank you for the best 3 years of my entire life and I look forward to many more years with you. Happy Anniversary.

Now I know my ABC's.... well, sort of

Kylee has turned into quite the little singer as you can see. It's amazing how fast they pick up on things. She also sings the theme song to My Friends Tigger and Pooh, Little Einsteins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (yes, we watch WAY too much TV), and twinkle twinkle little star. Usually she won't let me get her on camera doing this but for some reason tonight she felt like showing off and I'm glad she did. She is too cute for her own well being even though her hair is sticking straight up in the air.

Polar Bear Plunge 2009

Yes my friends the Polar Bear Plunge happened again and they even added a few members. The old members are Christian (wearing the blue GIRL swim trunks. Don't ask!!!!), Russell, Tavia, and Sklyer. The new members are Shirley, Alexa, and Tyler. The water was probably 30 degrees and the wind chill when they got out probably made it feel like negative 20. This video is actually the second jump for Christian and Russell. Of course I had camera difficulties the first time they jumped but you get the picture. They are all crazy but it was GREAT entertainment. Hope you all enjoy as well.
