Happy Birthday to ME!

What can I say, I got spoiled! I don't think it's fair that my birthday lands around tax return time and David's lands around Christmas! Oh well. Better this way than reversed! HAHA!! We went out Friday night because all of the babysitters would be at the YW General Conference Saturday night. Glad I remembered that before hand. I have forgotten before!

David brought me home a dozen roses. It's been a long time since I have gotten flowers! Then we went to the Tuscany Restaurant. Neither of us had been there before. It was recommended to David by a friend. Fantastic food and I think we made up for David's birthday with the price!!

Then we headed over to the Cheesecake Factory. Cake did not sound good to me so I thought about cheesecake. Well, the best is at the restaurant. So we took home a whole cheesecake for Saturday. Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. YUM! The kids loved it too. I bought the smallest one because it is so rich; you can only eat a little at a time!
Saturday I went to the temple. I haven't been since having Jenna, so it was nice. Then we went to McDonald's with the kids. The kids were so well behaved. We also went to look for a new t.v. We have been without cable since July and we just watched movies on our old t.v. until that finally kicked the can a couple months ago. So the computer has been our lifeline to the outside world!! We didn't come home with one yet. Maybe in a week or so!

I attempted to go shopping Saturday night. The last time I went shopping was my birthday last year. I am out of practice and have realized that my sense of style is about gone too!! I have been rotating about 5 shirts and 3 pants, which one of those got 2 big holes in the knees a couple weeks ago. I am trying to SQUEZZE into my pre-pregnancy jeans to give me more options, but am realizing they just might have to be put in to the D.I. bag! I would like to say I found something to add to my almost empty closet but I didn't. Jenna was terrible and I was in the dressing room trying to hurry and realizing that my body STILL isn't back to where it was a year ago I gave up. The only thing I came home with was toothpaste I stopped to get at Walmart. Maybe next weekend will be more of a success!

Roses and chocolate. You can die a happy woman. That pretty much means you married prince charming.

Love

Man McGary's and March birthdays! Happy belated birthday, sounds like it turned out to be a great one! Love Alyssa's hair and am slightly jealous that she is potty trained and you are down to one in diapers:). Your shopping experiences sound like mine as well as your closet. I swear my clothes are so old and nasty and I wear the same few shirts over and over.

New Year New Goals

Today is January 1, 2025. A lot has happened since I last wrote. But one of my goals this year is to journal more and this is where I want to share. This has been a really hard, miraculous and joyful time for us. I am grateful for good health. That has been a blessing for our family! David has been working on his own for the past 1.5 years. He has been writing code to create an A.I. bot that will speak to you. In different languages soon too! This has been a time of a lot of late nights. Lonely times. David works from home but interaction with each other is small. This has been very hard for us and I don't know what normal looks like anymore. Communication for us has always been hard and this has made it 10xs harder. There is never a cut off time for work. David is back to getting 2,4,6 hours of sleep every night. The pull to provide is something I don't know how to feel he is experiencing. So I just try to support him how I know how. Stay out of his way and l...

Thankful

I am so thankful for my family today. They mean everything to me!  We are celebrating Thanksgiving with just us again this year. I have come to embrace and love everything about it. I have rallied the troops in helping prepare the food. Jenna made a blueberry pie, Alyssa made banana pudding jello, Jason prepared the turkey and broth for the gravy with the turkey neck, Melanie made the stuffing, Cameron made a chocolate pudding pie. I fill in the holes and make the rest. It is really fun and the kids love helping to prepare!  We have so many blessing to be thankful for. The biggest being the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our knowledge of the Plan of Salvation, and the true joy of the gospel.

Yard Overhaul

I was so excited...memorial day weekend=David for 2 whole days!! So what did I have planned? Work that I couldn't do alone. The kind that required a real man. I'll just mention that David did not hold the same excitement as I did when Saturday morning came, but of course being the good husband he is, he got the job done. First, David went to Home Depot to rent a chain saw, a very dull one I might add. The trees in the back yard weren't standing for long. A very messy apple tree, a cherry tree that didn't produce anything and 4 small, scraggly trees that were in terrible spots. The yard looked so much better, and bigger after taking those out. I won't be picking up rotten apples this year!! While David was busy getting the chainsaw at home depot, I was busy working on the "rock garden". The rocks are on a small u-shaped hill and buried. I always had to weed eat around them and they were just a pain. I couldn't take it anymore. So the kids a...
