Class Reunion 2010

This weekend was very eventful, Jared had his 10 year class reunion even though it has been 9 years. The reason for this was because they combined the graduating class of 2000 and 2001. It was a reminder to me of how fast life goes by and also a reminder to not take anything for granted. If someone were to ask me my senior year where I would be I would have never imagined I would be where I'm at now. I am so thankful for my family and wouldn't be the person I am without them. Jared and I met in 8th grade when he moved here from Bloomfield and were boyfriend and girlfriend for about a week and since then have been in each other's lives. I can honeslty say that one of my dreams came true the day we married, because I had prayed for that moment over and over and over my senior year. I know that God works in mysterious ways and had us go through the things we've gone through all in preparation for our marriage. I love him very much and am so thankful to have almost two precious and beautiful babies with him and would never ever have it any other way.
Seeing everyone and what they have been up to was great, but it also felt nice to share our story as well and made me very proud of where we are, so for that I am thankful.
Friday night was a cocktail hour and that was the first night to see everyone, Saturday was a family day at the park and that was especially neat because we got to see who had children and see them in the light of being a parent, and finally Saturday night was a dinner and dance which was fun and gave us more time to catch up with everyone. Overall this whole weekend was surreal and put some things a little bit more into perspective for me.

Moab, UT 2010

I know I am a little late on posting this, but I couldn't skip it. A couple of weekends ago we went to Moab with Jared's parents and his little sister and we had such a wonderful time. We stayed in their 5th wheel at this great park that had full hookups which was very convenient if I do say so myself. We met some of Jared's mom's family there from Utah and they were great company, I am so glad we went. I was a little worried the heat was going to get to me, but we couldn't have picked a better weekend to go because it was overcast, but the weekend wouldn't have been the same without the weather. It made it that much better. We rode our Teryx (Jared's pride), ate lots of food, had Popsicles in the rain, played cards inside, laughed a lot, ate at great restaurants, swam, and got rained out more than once. I didn't get to take as many pictures as I should have, but I got a few. I hope to go again soon, it was a very fun time.

31 Weeks

I am now 31 weeks pregnant and getting anxious by the weeks to meet my baby girl. I have noticed that with this pregnancy I find it harder and I can't help but think it's because she is a she. My pregnancy with Kade was amazing, I felt the best I had ever felt in my entire life. I think that it was the male hormones I was producing to carry a boy, because if you think about it boys or Men are so much more laid back then girls or Women are. I feel like females stress more, but that might be due to the fact that we take on more. I also find myself worrying a lot with this baby, like about me and my health. I don't know if it's because I am soon going to have two little souls to take care of that I want to be the best and healthiest I can be to live a long life because I know my babies need me and I want to be with them forever. Who knows, I am hoping I can grasp onto something that will convince me that God will take care of all that, but it's a thought I cannot get far from. I always want to be there for my children because they are the most important things to me in this entire Universe and no one will ever understand how much I love them. I know we all love our families so much, I'm not taking that away from anyone, but I am just speaking about myself and my situation. I want to feel overwhelmingly happy when she gets here and I know I will, but for now I need to get rid of my worries and completely have faith and trust that God knows my plan and that it is fit for just Crystal. Taylor I promise you and mommy will be forever best friends and I can't wait to hold your little soul in my hands and I am so thankful for the privelage to have you as my daughter. Your not even here yet and my connection with you is stronger than you will ever know. I promise to protect you and Kade and give you both the best possible life I can give you.
