4 years ago today, on July 16,2005 at 9:30 am, Jason and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Las Vegas temple. With the exception of the birth of my daughter, it was the best day of my life. I will never forget how amazing it felt to know that we were marrying each other in the right place at the right time by the right authority. It was awesome to know that we were going to be together forever and nothing could take that away from us. In some ways it feels like we have been married for 4 months and in other ways it feels like 4 million years. I have loved every minute of our adventure together. Thanks, honey, for choosing me. Thank you for all you do. I love you. Happy Anniversary!!
Just an FYI to anyone who cares: Jason and I decided that since my parents are leaving next weekend, we will be having a "staycation" and my sister has graciously agreed to take Kate for the weekend. It will be a blast.

Someone...
Should update the blog every now and then.
Not much is new.
Seana's still pregnant... we find out what it'll be on August 18th, so that's cool.
I'm getting a ton of money in student loans, so it'll be nice not being desperately poor.
Oh, and Katelyn's almost 3.
Here's a picture of her to tide you all over.

Drumroll Please...
MY AWESOME/CRAZY SMART/HARDWORKING/REALLY CUTE HUSBAND MADE THE DEAN'S LIST!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe that's not that big a deal to you all, but he worked his butt off last semester, so it's huge for us. So there.
A lot has been going on, but I don't want to update right now. I have some pictures I need to put up. For the most part we are good. Katelyn is peeing and pooping on the potty all the time now and i want to kiss her face right off. She says some seriously funny stuff all the time and can't wait to see "her baby" in my tummy. I am feeling much better and the nausea only comes in waves now. I go to the doctor in 2 weeks and hopefully will hear the heartbeat. We are excited.
Seriously, though, I will do a real update soon. Just wanted to congratulate my husband. Good job, baby!! We love you.

Goodbye, Grandma Chicken...
I am feeling a little sad today. And quite nostalgic. My grandma, Henrietta Garber, passed away yesterday. She was 91. Many of you know that for the past 3 weeks she has been in hospice care in our home and I was her primary care giver during the day since my parents both work. I didn't want the responsibility and was quite nervous about it. As the time went by I grew to be grateful for the opportunity to serve her. I was able to be there at her bedside along with my mom, dad, and aunt when she died. It was an amazing experience. I love her very much and can't wait to see her again.
Since I am feeling nostalgic I am going to list my favorite things she always or did. I know most people who read this(which I know isn't many) won't get them, but my family will.
-the title of this blog is "goodbye grandma chicken". We called her that my whole life. When my oldest brother was little he couldn't say Henrietta, so he called her Grandma Hen-Hen. That turned to Grandma Bawk-Bawk and then it eventually evolved into Grandma Chicken. She loved that name. It kind of became her m.o. and she starting collecting chicken and hen decor for her kitchen.
-While I hate them, she loved Boston bull terriers and owned several. The 2 I remember had awesome names- Boots and Pocahontas.
- "I'll knock you into next week..."
-the amazing/ridiculous porcelain baby doll collection.
- When asked how she was doing she would almost always reply " better than I was when I was worse".
-cream soda
-The "hatred" she had for chocolate, yet she always took bites of ours.
-"oh?"
-Buttermilk
-the delicious vitamin c tablets she always had when we were kids. I have never been able to find them. soo good.
-Her "program". (Jeopardy)
I could go on and on. Mostly I will just always remember the fabulous grandma she was to me. She was always faithful and true and I know she and grandpa are continuing to do the Lord's work.
Here is a picture of she and my dad just 2 months ago at my niece and nephews blessing. She is cute.
Love you, Grandma. See you soon.
