Mawwage is what bwings us toogewther tooday!

I just wanted to take a few moments and express my gratitude for having John Luke in my life! I honestly don't know what I would do without him! Throughout today I had so many stomach pain attacks, emotional spikes (yelling one minute, crying the next) and he was a constant for me. I am so very grateful for all that he does for me and every time he helps me out. Especially this weekend when we were watching our five nieces and nephews he was absolutely amazing! His birthday is coming up on Saturday and unfortunately we are not going to be able to do much since my surgery is on Friday. Then he is leaving for Atlanta on Monday and I won't see him again until Thursday! I wake up every morning and realize that I have fallen in love with him all over again, and I somehow love him even more than the day before.

Exciting Times!

Well, this weekend was very exciting! It of course started with Thanksgiving at the families, it was SUPER yummy and we were lucky enough to have the Jensen family with us there also! Luke had lots of fun and said that he wished he would have eaten more (which we all know he could do!)

Then, we went and visited Luke's family for a little bit and then came home and hit the sack, which was nice that we weren't camping out anywhere for some amazing deal on something we don't really need. Then, I unfortunately had to work on Friday, but I got off earlier in the evening and Keri and Chris brought over all of their kids. Yes, we were parents to five for the weekend! We first went to McDonalds, and played on the playland and had happy meals, totally yummy.

Then, we rented Kung Fu Panda and all the kids watched it with Luke while I worked on homework. I hope they had fun!

Then the boys all camped out in the living room and the girls slept with me in our bedroom. Then, after an eventful night for Luke with Brandon having an accident all over the bathroom, and several whispers in the night asking what noises were and telling him his pillow was cold and then warm, we woke up and the kids got to eat Lucky Charms, which kid doesn't like that?

Then, the younger kids went outside and played on the playground with Luke while me and Heidi stayed inside the nice warm house! Then, they played Mario Kart while I got ready. Then we loaded up the kids and the gear and took them home so Travis could go to a party at Chuck E Cheeses. Then we were crazy, or really nice and took them all to the mall, where I watched jealously Heidi get some amazing deals on some really cute clothes!

Then we ended the day with looking some cars and eating at Nelsons, yummy! Then today we went to our ward for real for the first time and we absolutely LOVED our new ward! Everyone was very friendly and introduced themselves and we had a really good Christmas program that really got me in the spirit of Christmas.

Now, me and Luke are putting up our Christmas decorations and watching Christmas movies! How fun!
