The Best 4 Years!

Today is Jeremy and my anniversary. Can't believe it has been 4 years already! It is also our 7 years together anniversary. Some of you may not know, but Jeremy and I were married exactly 3 yrs after our 1st date. We didn't remember this when we picked our date, it just worked out that way & it is a cool coincidence. I laid in bed this morning thinking over the last 7 years remembering all the fun times we have had. I loved when we first dated and Jeremy would hide in his roommates truck to scare me when I came over to his apartment. It worked every time. I also loved our picnics at Sugarhouse park even when they were just Taco Bell. I loved being in Manti & seeing his rugged side. We'd go on 4-wheeler rides up the canyons and come back covered in mud. Or laying on the tramp listening to the crickets and looking at all the stars that you can't see in the city. We've had such a great time together, I can only look forward to the rest of our adventure. This day is so special to us, but I thought I would share some photos from the day. (Different ones than last yr-tons to share)

He went 1st and was pretty nice. I gave it my best shot.

I love you Babe!!! Thanks for all the great memories! Looking forward to many more.

Resolution smalution, blah, blah, blah (venting)

Like my title? So I am not into making New Year's Resolutions because I don't like disappointment. But secretly I have had these goals in the back of my head to be a better homemaker, mother, wife, organizer, and really the list goes on and on. But I decided I need to at least make an effort.
I really actually don't mind cleaning my house, but on one condition; that I am the only one home. Being that that doesn't happen very often, my house only looks clean. No deap cleaning unless Jeremy does it. I know that it shouldn't be too hard to clean a house with only one 2 yr old running around the house with me, but for some reason I struggle. I can always think of funner (i know that isn't a word) more exciting things I would like to do during the day.
For some reason yesterday I got the itch to clean. Brielle was busy watching Elmo, her new favorite person, so it gave me a minute to clean a bathroom. I was so impressed with myself that I got one whole bathroom cleaned! And then when Brielle took her nap, I cleaned the master bathroom in my bedroom and that includes scrubbing the shower & our big tub!! I also did the dishes (a daily duty, but none the less I am including it), folded laundry, & washed windows and mirrors. It was a very successful day. I also fit in time to workout too-for the 2nd time this week!! Not quite sure what has come over me, but I think I like it. I was even a good wife and didn't make dinner! Yes I am a lucky wife of a man that would rather I didn't cook. Not that the cooking is bad, you can ask him or Weston if you don't believe me, but Jeremy works out a lot & doesn't want a big dinner before heading to the gym. His ideal meal is a sandwich or cereal during the week. So he made us dinner! (Mac n' cheese & hot dogs, but who is complaining!) Today Brielle is sick so we are kind of taking it easy. But I did straighten all her toys and am organizing all her old clothes by age for storage! & the dishes, again a daily duty & paid the bills-all of them, hooray!! I am really having a good week. Just wanted to share a positive post. Hope this good mood and goal seeking continues although I do suffer from "Happiness Anxiety" ~when things are really good you have anxiety knowing the bad is not far behind. Thankfully the bad helps us realize the good.
