Fridays...

So we have this weekly thing we do....maybe I can call it a habit? Haha
My husband was on a schedule before he came back to the states of weekly temple dates. His first Saturday here was my first time at the temple and the second was our sealing so we were off to a good start. Well we went out of town for 3 weeks. Our honeymoon started on Oahu where they have a temple but it was closed. Then we went to Maui and they don't have a temple. So when we got back we were excited to go back! We did and have made our best effort to go back every single week since! It has been my favorite thing to do every week. Even though my husband and I are home most of the time right now I look forward to that spiritual growth, together, every week. It's our "date day" and we usually go do something fun after or go eat at Fuddruckers which is our favorite! :)


Temple dates are essential to our spiritual growth and the positive progress in our marriage! We haven't got to go the last 2 weeks because of different conflicts and it really affects the way we both act and talk to each other and to others..

To anyone struggling to attend the temple. Make it a priority! Make it the first thing you put on your calendar every week. Same time same day every week and make it a habit! It really does wonders in your marriage and your life! Coming from an expert of 4 months! ;)

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...
