9 AMAZING YEARS! (Warning: The following is mushy!)

I know it is cliche to say where has the time gone, but where has the time really gone?! Todd and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary today...wow! Honestly, I can't hardly remember life before Todd. I never would have guessed we would be where we are at now, and doing what we are doing now, but I absolutely love it. It is crazy how some things are meant to be. Todd is an amazing husband and takes the best care of me. I know family comes first to him and that means a lot to me. Where would we be without family? Todd supports me in everything I do and also sets me straight when I need to be. :) Just the same, Todd is an amazing dad. Our three boys absolutely adore him. He is so hands-on with the boys and always wants to be a part of everything with them. I feel lucky everyday that I found Todd and we can share our lives together. I love Todd more and more everyday because of the great husband and father he is!

I have a favorite picture of me and Todd when we were first married that I wanted to post, but of course I can't find it. The picture was taken in Yellowstone and we are standing in front of a waterfall. But anyway, as I was searching for it today, I totally took a trip down memory lane. I ran into some of the funniest pictures of me and Todd back in the day. We have some great memories. I know this isn't a great picture of us, and my scanner won't work so I had to take a picture of the picture to post it, but it makes me laugh so hard for so many different reasons. Todd and I just got home from our honeymoon and my mom and dad met us at our little apartment to open some wedding gifts. First of all, why is my mom in our apartment ready to take our picture, and thanks Todd for carrying me through the door! Ha Ha Todd still teases me about that night because I cried because I didn't want my mom and dad to go home with out me. I had never lived away from home until then, so I was feeling pretty nervous. Those feelings didn't last long though. Life with Todd has been awesome and so much fun. Every stage just keeps getting better and better!!!

Happy Anniversary Todd...I love you lots!

SNOW GOOSE 10K

Well, I better document this to make it official! This weekend was Delta's famous Snow Goose Festival. This year I ran the 10K race with some friends. One of the hardest things about this race, besides finishing, was the sign up. I had to mark the 30-39 age group. Holy cow.....I am old!!! It was kind of an anniversary for me because it was a year ago at the Snow Goose Festival that I ran my first race, the 5K. Who knew I would still be running and would have run as many races as I have and be training for a marathon...crazy! I totally "bonked" while I was running, but besides that, it was a way fun time with the girls!! Good job everybody!:)

Oh wait, that is not all. Nice trash talk Cory! You might have defeated me this time, okay and last time, but you just wait for Ogden. You are going to eat my dust!!!! I am saving up and when you see me at Ogden, you are going to think fast. I should wish you good luck because you are going to need it!!!!! :)It is pretty cool how many snow geese stop here in Delta as they are migrating north. Of course, Todd has us out for rides just about everyday to see them while they are here. The boys love it, even Briggs. The snow goose hunt starts next weekend and I am kinda excited for that. Hopefully Todd will get a bird, and who knows, maybe I will get one too. That would be awesome!!

Dinner with fire!

Last year on Valentine's Day we had a candle light dinner with the boys and they loved it! They called it "dinner with fire"! So, I decided we would make this a tradion every Valentine's Day. We had just as much fun this year. We had spaghetti and heart-shaped rolls, and of course the best part, chocolate fondue. :) Let me tell you...it really set the mood. Jaygen was so interested in finding out what things would die if they got put in fire, Pace said we were camping, and Briggs just wanted to grab the fire. It was a total blast!!! Todd of course made Valentine's special for me too. He took me on a date the night before...thanks Todd!!! What great memories!! :)
