Livin' on a Prayer

These pictures speak for themselves! (But I don't know why they're fuzzy.)

Dating

I truly don't envy people who are still in the 'single & dating' phase of life. It was great while it lasted, but the kind of dating I prefer is with my one true love and best friend! We haven't always been too good at getting out, but we've recommitted ourselves and are loving it! It's refreshing to have a conversation with each other before it's so late that we're both tired. And eating dinner without having to get up 16 times or prod a child to eat for 30 minutes, is quite a treat! This month we've averaged 1 date a week-WOW- lucky us!!

Happy Birthday Bill!

Today my incredible husband turns 29! (Yes, for those of you who haven't figured it out yet, I'm 16 months older than Bill... he loves teasing me about how OLD I am!)

Last night at dinner Madisen asked Bill how old he was turning. After he told her, she was trying to figure out how many that was by asking me to hold up my fingers. I showed her it was 2 + 9, she was delighted that she could hold up that many fingers!

So here are 2 + 9 things that I love about Bill:
1: He is a loving and devoted husband.2: He loves being a daddy: he's fun, patient, understanding, involved, & loves his little girls!

1: He's a hard worker- self motivated!
2: He's efficient.
3: He's a great listener.
4: He's considerate of my needs.
5: He loves his family- immediate & extended.
6: He's committed to the gospel & shares that love with our girls.
7: He puts others before himself- he's unselfish!
8: He's thrifty!
9: He always makes me laugh!

Happy Birthday Babe!
