Soulmates: Taegon is 14

Well we've been married for 4 years now. I never thought I'd get married within 2 months from meeting and going on our first date, but sure enough you can't help who your heart falls for. I'm sure glad my heart fell for him. We were married on Feb 29th, 2008 because leap year may come every 4 years, but a love like ours comes only once in a lifetime. We were just recently sealed for time and all eternity and it feels so wonderful knowing that we are now a "Forever Family". It's been such a blessing to have Chad in my life and I am grateful every day that the Lord lets me enjoy here on earth with my SOULMATE.

Taegon is 14

So this weekend was quite full of events. We had the boys come over to play and hang out. We made peanut butter bars for Taegon's birthday because yesterday he turned 14 (he does not like cake).

Wow, I can't believe he is already 14. I remember the day he was born and always being around when he was little. He lived with me or I lived with his family off and on for the first 12 years of their life. I remember rocking him to sleep at night and listening to the Linda Ronstadt Lullaby's CD. I remember his rosy little cheeks when we would play in the snow and his little buck teeth with his big cheesy smile as a little baby. He is such an amazing and talented young man now. He recently made the decision to become ordained a Deacon in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so very proud of him for this decision and the decisions he makes every single day to stand up for what he knows is right. What a wonderful thing that is to know he is out there making good choices and setting examples to all of us. He is so creative and artistic. I see some if his art and think to myself "whoa, this kid is going to make a lot of money one day" He is crazy talented. Anyway, sorry to go on and on but I am just one proud Auntie today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAEGON! You amaze me every single day and I am so blessed to have you for a nephew. Thanks for teaching me so much in life. Love you with all my heart.

I know this is a little crazy, but my sisters gave me all their baby clothes when they were done having kids. So the other day I was going through all my stuff and found these socks of Taegon's when he was a baby. So this is one of his socks from when he was a baby compared to one of his current socks. I can't believe how much he has grown. I have a hard time letting them grow up. Maybe it will be a little easier when I have kids of my own. Then again, maybe not.

Little Things I'm grateful for everyday

2/6/2011: Today I am grateful for PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME for who I am. People who enjoying spending time with me just because. People who put me first and make me feel important. Thanks Chad and Josh for turning a bad day around.

9/13/2010: Today I am grateful for MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS. I know I know, they are bad for me and caused me to have heart problems. But I just started back at work and I am not use to being awake so early and I have been at risk of dozing off while driving and while I'm at work. So it has saved my life these last few days.

9/11/2010: Today I am grateful for my FREEDOM and for THOSE WHO DIED 9 YEARS AGO TODAY. I remember that day so clearly in my mind and I'm am so grateful and also sad for those who died that day. Thank you for the sacrifice you made so that I may live.

9/2/2010: Today I'm grateful for NONI. She is one of my dearest friends and always knows what I need. She has been such a blessing in my life and we have so many amazing stories together. Usually they all end in us rolling on the floor laughing so hard that we are in risk of peeing our pants. Love you Loni!

9/1/2010: It's been a while but I'm not any less grateful. Today I'm grateful for MY HANDY HUSBAND. He built me a wonderful desk because I'm headed back to school.

6/20/2010: Today I am grateful for MY PARENT'S WASHER AND DRYER. Yesterday while trying to catch up on all of our laundry from the last week, our dryer went out. It will no longer heat up the clothes and dry them. So while my parents are out of town we came to their house to use their dryer.

6/19/2010: Today I am grateful for AIR CONDITIONING. We were working out in our yard and garage today trying to get our bikes fixed and the yard looking decent and boy was it hot. I had to come inside several times just to get cooled off.

6/11/2010: Today I am grateful for SISTERS. Tonight we had a bachelorette party for my new sister in law Yvette and it was so nice to just be with the women of the family and bond as sisters (and mom) it was great and I'm so blessed to have such wonderful women in my family.

6/3/2010: Today I am grateful for CURTAINS. The sun shines so bright through our bedroom window starting at 5:30am. It gets so hot and bright in the room even with the blinds closed. So I got some curtains from my mom's house and it has made things 100% better. I am actually able to sleep past 5:30am now. Thanks mom for the curtains.

5/18/2010: Today I am grateful for the RAIN. I know I use this a lot as something I am grateful for but I really am. I LOVE the rain and can not get enough of it. Especially when it's 80 degrees outside like it was today and it was just pouring. I wish I lived somewhere where it rained like this ALL THE TIME.

5/10/2010: Today I am grateful for cough medicine. I've been fighting a nasty could all weekend and it still has the best of me. I am so grateful for the cold medicine that masks the unpleasant symptoms. I'm also grateful for my wonderful husband who runs to the store in the middle of the night to get me more medicine when I run out. He is amazing.

4/21/2010: Today I am grateful for the RAIN, although I was indoors most of the day, I would love to have been out dancing in the rain. I love everything about the rain. It is truly my favorite weather. I wish it would rain every day.

3/23/2010: It has been a little bit, but I am not less grateful. Today I am grateful for WONDERFUL FRIENDS. I have great friends at work that are such a great example for me.

3/12/2010: Today I am grateful for WARM BLANKETS. My feet and hands were so cold and it felt so nice to cuddle up in a big fuzzy blanket and get warm. Folesome helped to keep my feet warm, seeing as how he climbed under the blanket and fell asleep on my toes.

3/11/2010: Today I am grateful for my brother JUSTIN, it's his birthday today and I'm so grateful he was born. My life has been blessed with many experiences both funny and great learning experiences because of him. Love you Justin!

3/10/2010: I'm grateful for CHAD today, he woke me up early today so that he could make me breakfast in bed. He is such a sweetheart and working so hard to show me that he can provide for me. What a blessing he is. I am grateful for Chad and breakfast in bed today. It was Yummy.

3/9/2010: I am grateful for RAIN today. Even though it snowed at my house and it was cold, while I was down in town I got to enjoy the rain and all of it's beauty. Rain is my absolute favorite weather and I can't get enough of it. I wish it would rain every day.

3/6/2010: I am grateful for FAMILY today. We had such a wonderful surprise birthday party for my dad's 60th Birthday party today and had such a wonderful turn out. It was nice to have most of my family close by. Brandon wasn't able to be there and Qwinette was also not able to be there, But it was so nice to see everyone who was able to make it.

3/5/2010: I am grateful for TEMPLES today. It was so great to go to the Temple and do baptisms with my family members. What a wonderful first time experience for all of us.

3/3/2010: I am grateful for the PRIESTHOOD today. My brother in law has been very ill in the hospital and my dad and husband were able to go give him a blessing today. I am so grateful for the priesthood and all the blessings it brings to my life.
