Temple Dates

For those of you who don't know, my husband and I's life long bucket list item is to attend every single temple in the world! Another goal we have set is to visit A temple every week. So far we've been doing pretty good :)
Converts are my favorite people. My dad was a convert to the church at 19 and I just think they have a different kind of strength to their testimonies! This convert is a little different though, I knew Karyssa in high school and always thought her to be one of the sweetest people I ever met. She moved up to Utah for school and was introduced to the church a lot. She got baptized and I had no idea until I found AFTER she got married that she got married in the temple. It was one of the best things to find out! That this sweet soul had found, learned and loved the church as much as I do! Anyway. When I text her to have a double date the first thing she said is a temple date! And I of course said YES! We went to Olive Garden to have lunch before and headed off to the 1:30 session. On top of that one of those once in a lifetime fluke things happened, I got to sit next to my husband! Those of you who are endowed and visit the temple know what I'm talking about! It was AWESOME! And something I expect to never happen in my life again! Haha and that's okay. I enjoyed every minute of it. I unfortunately missed the 3:30 session (because I can't do math) where my dear friend Christine went through for the first time! It's okay we'll have to have a date in the St. George temple because I haven't been there yet and it's one of my favorites! :)

From day one...my breastfeeding journey!

Image
On Friday: October 10, 2014, I became a mom to the most handsome little brown boy I had ever seen. Since I was adopted, my mom was one of my biggest supporters to the idea of breastfeeding. She never got to experience that and she wanted to make sure I did! It was VERY important to me that I breastfed as it was something I always dreamed of doing. On October 13 (day 4) we visited our pediatrician for the first time. She was my pediatrician as a child and I absolutely love her and recommend her to EVERYONE! While there, she asked me how Charlie was latching and being brand new to this experience, I figured any problems I was having at this point were just as much me as they were him, since we were both learning. At this point I was not having any pain, cracking or bleeding, and I didn't realize that Charlie was not eating well. After I answered her she responded with "I just asked because he's a little tongue tied". I had absolutely no clue what that meant, that it cou...

SAVOR

This is the fourth year I have chosen to forgo the idea of resolutions and instead choose a word of the year! A word that I want to define my year. A word to keep in mind that will encourage growth and understanding.. Last year my word was EMBRACE . I couldn't have chosen a better word for the year. I learned so much about the gospel, my marriage, and myself. I learned to embrace anything and everything that comes with being pregnant. The good and the bad. I learned to embrace the trials I may face in life for the purpose that I will learn something from every single one. I learned to embrace my changing body and the miraculous things it would do before, during, and after labor. I learned to embrace the pain and trial that came with breastfeeding as well as learning how having a tongue tied baby is, how to fix it, and what to do next. We bought a new home, Nu'u enrolled in school that he will start in 2 weeks, and we have both learned what it really means to be in love, wi...

BRONCOS!!

Image
Before football season even started my husband and I had 2 serious arguments about who he was gonna be a fan of. I'm a die hard Broncos fan and he's not necessarily a fan of anyone. He doesn't know football he knows rugby (which I'm okay with). He's always known that I'm a sports JUNKY and that I'm a huge broncos fan so when we talked about it in the past he talked about being a broncos fan and how I need to teach him football. Sounds good to me right? First football season together is gonna be a blast?! Till he found out why I actually was introduced to the broncos....the kid who was my first kiss (14 years old) was from Denver and his family is Broncos fans...of course. So for Christmas that year he bought me a broncos hoodie. So I started watching the games. By myself. Becoming a fan. By myself. And staying a fan even after that "relationship" was over. By myself. No problem right?! Yeah right! I wouldn't call my husband the jealous type (ha...
