1. DATE NIGHT! Yay! Thanks to my sister and bro-in-law for watching the kiddos, Darin and I are going to celebrate our anniversary! I just love a good date!
2. My jumbo elastic workout thing-a-ma-bob-do-hicky-thingy. The U sent their employees this awesome elastic workout thing and I HAVE BEEN LOVING IT! The first 15minutes of my lunch I go upstairs to the balcony and do my strength training. I love that it fits in my bag and doesn't take up much space.
3. My boys: they made me new art to hang in my cubicle at work. I love a good change of scenery!
4. That I can hear and see. I saw two blind people and one deaf one on the bus this morning. I'm glad I have all my senses.
5. (Kitties.)
FINE! I'll admit it: I like them! Sometimes I even tell them that! I pet them now, let them lick me, talk to them like they're real people, look forward to seeing them. I NEVER thought that would happen to me and an animal.
I feel so free now, admitting that.
Have a great Friday everone!

Remember When?
Dear Darin,
Remember our first date when we played raquetball and I had no idea in the world what that meant and you were soooo patient with me?
Remember our second date when you told me that I would look good in a gunny sack, even though I had horribly cricked teeth?
Remember when both of us went to school full-time and worked full-time and we were so crazy busy and hardly saw each other?
Remember when we recovered our ugly couch and it looked really good?
Remember when our kids were born? I was so nervous and scared and you were there the whole time telling me how great everything was going to be even though you were scared too?
And remember when one of the kids would have a set-back and I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it? You were always there to comfort me and tell me that everything would be okay. I truly believed you. You were the ONLY person in the whole world at that time that truly knew what I was going through.
Remember the job layoffs, the financial struggles, the trial of our faith? I'm so glad that I've had you with me the whole time to bouy me up.
Remember when you wanted to clean and organize the basement and I said no way, basements were meant for junk? I've regretted it ever since, and now you've helped me clean it out - finally!
Remember our trip to Bryce Canyon? Our driving to Nauvoo with three three year olds? The trip to Jackson Hole when child #1 fell off the bench at the cowboy concert and we were so worried? The vacation to Lake Powell that was pure heaven on a boat? Camping and I was worried about bears? Hiking and singing songs the whole time? You teaching me how to swim (5000 times?).
Remember when I would work late and you would follow me home because I was scared to walk to the parking lot in the dark at the U?
I remember, and I'm sooo glad that you have been with me the whole time! Fourteen years we've been married and what a ride it's been! Thank you for your patience, you hard work, your never giving up (or even considering giving up), your attitude, your fun, everything! You are the best person in the world for me and I love you so much.
Happy Anniversary!
