Camping in June

June 29, 2015
Brennen is finally home and it is so fantastic! We had the chance to get away from Rexburg together last weekend and go camping with his family up near the Cascades in Idaho. It was so much fun and despite the car sickness, we both had a really good time and it was so nice to get away for a little trip together.
We got to go canoeing, kayaking, and hiking with his siblings. It was so much fun and we can’t wait to go again!
We managed to get a couple pictures. 🙂

On the way to Nampa.
Vacations are always fun and we are so excited for 4th of July weekend!
So glad to have Brennen home. He is extremely tan (if you couldn’t tell the difference in the pictures…I am albino). He also thinks Rexburg is nothing compared to Death Valley…I wouldn’t know the difference. We have been struggling to resist turning the AC unit on in our apartment, but so far we have strayed from doing so. We spend a lot of time sitting in front of our fan. We have been enjoying our time together and I am so happy to have him home! 🙂

Hello World!

May 12, 2015 When you aren’t looking, that’s when it usually happens. Life is definitely no fairy tale, nor did I ever expect it to be, but when I met Brennen I finally felt like fairy tales could really become reality tales.  We were both attending BYU-Idaho when we met. Our apartments hung out towards the end of the spring semester, and we sort of just kept talking over the summer. I was back in Illinois and he was in Nampa working. We never expected much to come out of it. When I came back out to school in September, Brennen took multiple trips up to Rexburg to see me every other weekend, sometimes every weekend. I thought it was insane. Who would spend that much money in gas to come see me for two days out of the week? My cousin, Jordan, had emailed me previously at the beginning of the semester (he is serving his mission in England) predicting that I would “find a husbandman this semester”. I didn’t really believe him, but when Brennen started coming to see me so often, I...

35 weeks and large!

I am almost 35 weeks now and can I just say....I am ready to be done! Maybe it is the constant breathlessness... Maybe it is the fact that he kicks me at the wrong times....I mean I love feeling him move...but at 3am? Maybe it is the hormones that are just now emerging...Seriously though I haven't been very hormonal until now. Maybe it is just the sore muscles...The way I tell Brennen what hurts is like this, "Everything hurts...but _____ hurts a little more." I have loved being pregnant for the most part, but as they say...the third trimester is not the easiest. I am excited to meet this baby! My anxiety has peeked, as have the nerves, but the excitement keeps going up! In just a few weeks, this baby will be out and I will be able to sleep how I want! Not necessarily when I want...but I will be able to roll over and that sounds fantastic right about now.

...In Remembrance...

June 1, 2015 “Let me close by bearing witness (and my nine decades on this earth fully qualify me to say this) that the older I get, the more I realize that family is the center of life and is the key to eternal happiness. I give thanks for my wife, for my children, for my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren, and for all of the cousins and in-laws and extended family who make my own life so rich and, yes, even eternal” (April 2015 General Conference) Elder L. Tom Perry (1922-2015) Quorum of the Twelve Apostle I have been thinking a lot lately about the meaning of life and death. Since this terrible illness took Elder Perry so fast, I have been reminiscing through his talks and pictures such as the one taken above. It is no wonder the man had such a huge influence on so many people. His words always stung so true to me. He is a man that will never be forgotten upon this earth, and I think God must have needed him pretty quickly up there because he left so quickly from ...
