Gratitude Day 8,9,10,11,12,

Day 8
I am grateful for my loving husband.  He works so hard for our family.  He sent me an article today that described his business man life so well.  It talked about how luxurious it is, but how lonely it can be.  We work hard to stay connected even though we are apart.  I am so grateful to have a successful marriage we work at each and every day.

 Day 9
I am grateful for my mother and mother-in-law.  I love the support from these wonderful hard working women.  This picture was taken after I had Aimi Lark all those years ago.  I love knowing they each have such amazing strengths I have learned from.

Day 10
I am grateful for our dear dear friends the Keetons.  Jake and Kenny have been friends from church, to high school to BYU and beyond.  I love that we have stayed close and kept in touch all these years.  Friendships are important and valuable.

Day 11
I am grateful for the opportunity we had to raise my brothers for a portion of their lives.  I love the deeper bond it has given us.  I love when they send me a text or call me to ask for advice or tell me good news.  I am proud of them both.

Day 12
I am grateful for my loving Nana who lives in Florida.  She has always been a joyful presence in my life and I cannot get enough of her loving influence on the lives of my children.  This is the house that I experienced through my early childhood in Apopka, FL.  My Nana now lives in the panhandle of FL.  I am grateful that she had a lifelong marriage to my Papa and I have that example.  I am grateful for her mothering kindness that I try to apply as I raise my children.  She has always been an example of Christ-like life and that too is something I hold dear to my heart.  I love my Nana.

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.  

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
