It Takes Two Makes It to Two Years!

2 years ago today Rod and I were sealed for all eternity in the St George Temple.
In that time we...
Got jobs
Lived in a sick apartment for a little over a month.
Bought a house
"Worked on the house" (This is still going on and will be a forever project)
Found out the school we both worked for was closing, so we both got second jobs at different schools, and found out we were pregnant simultaneously.
Worked and worked and worked.
Moved into the upstairs of our house.
Had a baby!
And the last 6 months have been a little bit of everything while juggling taking care of our little boy. We have been so blessed.


These are just some of the main events, that don't include any of the fun stuff. Like having family come to town for Van's baby shower that Rod's mom and sister threw for me, or my mom coming for Van's birth, our families coming for Van's blessing, Aunt Maurie and her family living with us, and now Timber, Angel and Tracen moving in.

The last two years have been a lot of hard work. I don't think Falling in Love really prepared us for the marriage that we entered. It is the work that we have been doing throughout that creates a foundation of love that  our marriage continues to build on. We still have tons to learn about patience, respect, and communication but it is coming, slowly but surely.


I am grateful that I have a husband who works so hard. He works hard at everything, including us. He sometimes confuses that with working on the house, but his priority is our little family.

He gave me the greatest gift I could ask for, an eternal family.
