Up and Running
Our computer broke on my birthday...pretty crappy birthday present.
Anyway, We got it back this weekend, and have spent most of our time trying to get it all back the way we like it. It is still a work in progress, but I thought I would tell you all that I haven't forgotten about my blog, and all of you! I just haven't had the time to get all my pictures downloaded, and on here yet!
It may take awhile for you to hear from me again. I am headed to Camp Shalom with our wards YW, next week, and I am sure going to be busy till that is over.
Know that I love ya, and I pray you are all happy and well!

It's my birthday!
So I turn 27 today... not a very exciting birthday, but still a birthday! I am hoping for a good day, with no tantrums, or time outs, or any problems at all for that matter! Wish me luck!
But if for some reason my day goes bad, I will still get Sloppy Joes for lunch and Tepanyaki for dinner...and that makes it a good birthday!

Pictures of Abe
I just found these pictures of Abe. I totally forgot I had even taken them...But I think they are funny, and totally blog worthy so here you go! Enjoy!
A few months ago I was doing laundry, and Abe was curious why I was putting everything in the washer. He took matters into his own hands, and found out. It didn't take him long to figure out how to get up there...just long enough for me to get my camera.
Getting a good look inside the washer. He stood there for about 10 minutes...I even waited till it went in to the wash cycle before I took him down....I didn't want him to miss that!

It opens up to be one of those tunnells... Anyway, He thought it was the best chair.
And he is eating his favorite...Cookies!
Last one. I knew it was nap time when I found Abe like this, in the infant carrier that is still out since my sister used it at Christmas. (I guess she used it again in April, but I still hadn't put it away)

Phewww!!!
May was a Crazy month for us. All three of us have been sick...more than once this month. Then throw in a trip to Colorado, a trip to Arizona, and a trip to the sand dunes...plus 2 funerals in the ward, (my calling)...I am tired...(sigh). This last weekend we had the Scout fundraiser yard sale at our house, and that pretty much wraps up our May. We might have been bad friends, but know that we still love you, and miss having free time to just hang out.... Hopefully June will be better for us.

A little something I read
I was reading this article the other day, and it really hit me....I thought I would share it.
"EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love - because it's happening TO YOU.
Falling in love is easy. It's a passive, spontaneous experience.
But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.
At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" and as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience... This is when marriages break down. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it.
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT JUST FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make YOUR marriage work."

I just found it refreshing to hear that every marriage takes work...and I am not crazy for feeling like mine isn't as easy as it once was!
P.S. I love you Nick! Thanks for working along side me, to make ours last forever....
Cuz... Forever is a long time! LOVE YOU!

Super Heroes?
On May 19th, Nick's Sister Kara threw a mystery dinner party and we were invited!
The theme was Super Heroes.
Nick was "Mr. Fabulous". His powers included, being so good looking that bad guys would stop in their tracks to stare at him....allowing someone else captured them.
Tallie was " Shiver". Her powers were Ice, but she was more interested in fashion, botox, looking good, and making herself Mr. Fabulous' s girlfreind.
We had so much fun! Thanks Kara for all your hard work, and planning!
Don't we look good!!
This picture turned out super dark...sad. But this is the whole party!
Way to go Justice Confederation!
