My oldest brother recently got engaged and will be getting married in June. I am so excited for them and cant wait to see my brother happily married! He is an amazing gentleman and deserves the very best in life. He put his life on hold for more than 10 years while he served our country and fought for the freedoms so many of us take for granted. I am so proud of you big brother and so excited for the new adventures to come your way!
The exciting news has made me reminisce when Kurt and I got engaged..AHHH:) I knew Kurt was a great man and would treat me right but he has blown right past my dreams of how married life would be! We never went through that hard "first year of marriage" phase. I have never questioned my decision to marry him and thank my Heavenly Father every day for putting him in my life. He is a hard working husband and father who supports our family so that I can stay home and raise our children. He loves me and always shows me that he does, whether its in a big way or in little things like buying me a new movie that I had mention was my all time favorite(Beauty and the Beast!) He wants me to be happy and can always dry my tears. He is the love of my life and the man of my dreams that I never thought I would be worthy of. I am so thankful for the blessings of a Temple marriage and that I can be rest assured that no matter what happens we are an eternal family and will not be parted at death. I am so happy! We get each other and our little quirks and silly sense of humor link us together. I love you Kurt and I hope YOU know how much I appreciate YOU and all YOU do for our family. Thank you for giving us a nice home to stay warm in, reliable cars to travel in and the "toys" that we get to enjoy!! Thank you for all your hard work so that we can have these nice things. And thank you for loving me.
Big brother- I hope that you and your new wife find all the happiness that Kurt and I have found and more.
He is 8 months old now and is a crazy boy. He has his two front teeth in which are very sharp and have made him a very cranky boy. Did I say very?? I mean V-E-R-Y. I thought tantrums didnt start til way later but he throws himself backward, screams and if I set him down OH MAN he screams even louder. But when he calms down and smiles and plays with me- I completely forget about that strange boy before. He loves to bang on the entertainment center, pull speaker wires, eat things he finds on the floor, shake his head no...all the things he's not suppose to do!! He responds to his name...except for when he is doing something he is not suppose to do. I swear he understands that he is not suppose to bang on the tv but when we are not looking he crawls super fast over to it and has a huge smile on his face. He has quite the personality. He is sleeping a TON better although he has his nights of waking up numerous times but for the most part he sleeps until about 430 for one feeding. He loves eating banana puffs, likes his sippy cup and thinks any cup he see's is his and gets upset that another kid is drinking from it. He loves to play with other babies and touch their faces and pull their hair- I think he's just exploring.
