10 YEARS!!!

I can't believe that tomorrow Kurt and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. It really has gone by pretty fast; I guess that just goes to show how much fun we're having :) Not everything about marriage is sunshine and rainbows, but it's been a great journey to adjust to each other's life styles, work through problems and fall further and further in love with each other. Kurt is a wonderful person and I love him very much. I feel very lucky to be his wife!! Within the last 3 months we have 3 friends who have decided to divorce. It makes me very sad to think about the sadness and struggles that these friends (and their children) are having to endure. I have realized how very grateful I am for Kurt and for the relationship that we do have. Reading articles that state the negative affects of infertility on marriages is eye opening. Our infertility journey has only brought Kurt and I closer together and I am so grateful for that. Kurt is very understanding, patient and sensitive to the ups and downs of the emotions that infertility can cause. I could not have chosen a better husband to spend the rest of my life with and grow old with. He is absolutely amazing!! Happy Anniversary Kurt!

Mother's Day!!!!

Although Mother's Day is kind of a rough day for me, I try to reflect on the fact that I have 3 wonderful mother figures to celebrate all the wonderful things that they do for us. Some day I will have my opportunity to celebrate being a mother.
This year we had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. Because Kurt's mom lives in Southern Utah, we don't always get to spend holidays with her; especially Mother's Day. This year they came to visit and it happened to be on this special weekend. We had a wonderful time. We took them on the Frontrunner train to Salt Lake to see the new beautiful City Creek shopping center, walked through Temple Square and ate many yummy meals. It was really great weekend.

Horse rides

The neighborhood kids LOVE when they see Kurt out riding Woodrow on the streets. They get so excited and can't believe that there is a "real cowboy" that lives by them. When we got a phone call from one of our neighbors asking if their daughter could ride Woodrow, we agreed. Her mom told her that being able to ride Woodrow was part of her birthday present. She had just turned 8. When she came over to our house, she was beyond excited! It was a lot of fun to see how excited she was. Her mom took some great pictures of the adventure. Kurt made her day! It was so cute.

Disneyland trip

Yes, we love Disneyland! People think that we're funny to go to Disneyland without children, but we have such a good time. This last trip we went with some very good friends of ours (they have 3 kids so it was fun watching those girls get so excited over the Princesses). Kurt and our friend Brittany both turned 30 within a week or so of each other so we celebrated in California. It was such a fun trip! I made t-shirts for Kurt and Brittany to wear so they would get a lot of attention...it was so fun! We also went to the beach, Universal Studios and Sea World. It was such a great trip....and fun to go with friends!
