Jake's day

These are the only photos I managed to take on Jake's birthday.

Unfortunately, it was too warm for ice skating like I had planned, but I had invited some friends over for cake and games so we just started early with the Millers.

The sky was beautiful- I told Jake it was God's birthday gift to him. 

And the girls beat the boys in sequence, which is always fun. 

Sisters weekend

Back in July, we had a short sister's weekend to celebrate Jennifer's birthday. It was the first time that the girls have had a weekend getaway without kids and it was wonderful. 

Unfortunately, we weren't able to have all of the girls there, but at least it was a start to doing it again in the future. Because Jennifer loves to sew, we decided to bring our machines and work on some projects. It was a blast doing that, joking around and going to some quilt shops too. 

We stayed at a Residence Inn in Sandy, UT and it was the perfect size for our projects too. My trunk was full from bringing machines and tables from Logan, but it was totally worth it.




Kelly was able to join us for dinner one night, and we were so glad that she brought baby Caleb along so we could all get some snuggles in. Mom also treated us to pedicures (and a manicure for herself), which was very kind.



I am so blessed to have so many amazing women in my life. They impress me with their talents and skills and their kindness.



Oh and food was involved too. Because who doesn't love food?



On Saturday, we also were able to go to the Utah Valley Modern Quilt Guild that Jennifer and I go to once a month. It was beautiful weather so we did it outside that day.








I can't wait to have another girls weekend with the amazing women in my family. They have all taught me so many wonderful things.

5 years

We celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary today.  It's hard to believe that 5 years ago we were dressed in white in the temple together. 5 years ago our face hurt from smiling in all the pictures and we were able to see so many wonderful friends and family.

August marks 4 years of our struggle with infertility.  This past year has been really hard for us, but I have come to realize that I will be happy sharing my life with Jake, even if no children come to us.  He is kind, gentle, generous, hard-working and patient. He teaches me so much.

 The last few times we have been at Jake's parents house, I've asked him to take me on a scooter ride.  Jake asked me out after a scooter ride together and it's a fun way to remember how funny every love story is. 

 

I love this guy and can't wait to spend many more years with him. 

Grandpa Nielsen

Grandpa Nielsen passed away on Sunday, October 7th. We received the call less than an hour after turning off the tv when General Conference ended.  Jake's Grandpa Nielsen was 74 years old.

The funeral is now over. We miss him dearly already and will miss so much more as time goes on. He is such a wonderful man and we are so grateful for eternal families.  We love you, Grandpa.
