5 Years
Today 5 years ago Joseph and I made a vow! Vows are meant to be kept!
Looking back at that night, we really were so young...even though i felt like i had to wait FOREVER for a husband! I was 25 and he was 27. I remember hearing that there would be moments in our marriage that would not be easy. But, standing at the altar it's hard to even fathom those moments. We have been through a lot...the strong winds really blew last year. I think it's safe to say we have weathered some storms and have made it through and with God on our side not only will we make it 5 more years; but we will make it as long as God gives us life!
When my dad gave me away, this song was sung!
Household of Faith
Here we are at the start committing to each other
By His word and from our hearts
We will be a family in a house that will be a home
And with faith we'll build it strong
Chorus:
We'll build a household of faith
That together we can make
And when the strong winds blow it won't fall down
As one in Him we'll grow and the whole world will know
We are a household of faith
Now to be a family we've got to love each other
At any cost unselfishly
And our home must be a place that fully abounds with grace
A reflection of His face
Chorus

Our Getaway
Four years ago, this past Saturday-July 9th this man asked me to be his wife and I obviously said yes!
Since then its been a crazy journey and we are now working towards 4 years of marriage this January 4th, 2012! Pure craziness!
Every year we try to do something to remember our engagement day…its usually lunch and white roses! Always so sweet! However, this year he had a different kind of surprise in mind.
Joseph arranged for my parents to come up on Friday and spend the night with Klayton. I must admit this mama did cry as I gave my Babycakes a hug goodbye. This was my first time to leave him overnight; but I’m thankful that he was with my parents.
We didn’t travel to far, just 15 minutes to a hotel in Sioux Falls. We got a date night package, which included a one night hotel stay at the Clubhouse and dinner at Foley’s. The hotel was beautiful-they even upgraded us to a suite!
After getting settled into our room the hotel had someone drive us over to the restaurant! We both had salad, garlic mashed potatoes and steak! We even had enough on our gift card for some turtle cheesecake
and a drink for Joseph….
Mmm, what exactly is he thinking drinking that?! Ha! Its actually a grasshopper shake! So fun!
Once we came back from the hotel we sat at their back patio where the fire pits were blazing and we just relaxed.
It was so weird going to bed and knowing my baby wasn’t in the next room. I really missed him and it didn’t feel right being away from him, however it was good for Joseph and I to get away and just be alone. I told him, I think one overnight stay away from our baby is more than enough for me this year though!
Klayton did survive and I only called to check on him three times! And many thanks to my parents for coming and staying with Klayton…I don’t think they minded one bit!

On the Road Again and tidbits!
We are currently on the Colorado border, Nebraska side for the night. We left Sioux Falls, last night after attending a wedding. We stayed in Bellevue for the night and were hoping to make it to the west side of Denver tonight. However, winter weather changed our plans.
The above scene is a minor incident that we came across today. As evening approached we decided it was best to stop for the night, as we considered the fact that there was a 50 car pile up just ahead on the interstate anyway,
This trip will take us on the road for about three months, it will be crazy! We will be in Utah, Arizona, California and Nevada and obviously any state in-between! I have known for a long time that we would be getting back on the road this week; but it somehow managed to sneak up on me and catch me out of sorts about it. But, I didn't realize how out of sorts I was about it until we left home last night and as I said goodbye to some friends. I don't know why this trip is effecting my emotions the way it is; but it is...
On to other things! I wanted to do a Christmas post; but realized that the SD card with all my Christmas pictures is at home, so this is very sad. I just have these two pictures with me.
We had a wonderful time celebrating Klayton's first Christmas! We did stockings as a family on Christmas Eve as well as homemade pizza and a camp out beneath the lights of the Christmas tree! Christmas Day started with the Christmas story, followed by more presents! Later in the morning my parents and sister came over to do presents with us and exchange gifts! I was glad to have such a nice time even as I was recovering from gall bladder surgery that I had the Wednesday prior to Christmas.
As the new year started Joseph's parents came for a visit and we celebrated our third wedding anniversary on the fourth of this month.
Joseph's parents really wanted to babysit Klayton and then Joseph found the above shirt. So, Joseph took me out to dinner for our anniversary. We had a nice dinner together in spite of missing my little man.
So, after a long; but somewhat brief update of our lives since my last post that was forever ago...enjoy your night, stay warm and I'm not going to wait so long to post again!
