A+

is the grade I give myself on husband picking. Today is our 1st/4th Anniversary thanks to leap year. I love my husband so much. Our marriage is like a fine wine, it has gotten better with time. I could not be more happy. Thanks for being exactly you, Kor. You work so hard for our family and give me unconditional love. You are going to be such an amazing father to Amelia, and we are so lucky to have you. And it has to be said, you are one sexy hunk!

We went on a little vacation to Portland this past weekend. It was a ton of fun.

Beautiful Chinese garden. 

I love having my girl with me at all times. 

AMAZING Mexican food at Santeria. 

Science Museum. Submarine tour. 

Torpedo's. 

The proper way to see a movie. We saw The secret of Arrietty. SO GOOD.

Frozen yogurt!

Boba Balls, I love you. 

Love notes :)

Utah.

My lovely sisters and Mom threw me the most beautiful baby shower. They all worked so hard, and I could not appreciate them more. They sure spoil their baby sister. I didn't take a ton of photos of the guests, but I am beyond thankful to everyone who came to celebrate with me. I love my family and friends so much. 

Such tasty food. 

Some pretty cute guests. 

Kelli, you are the best. 

Everyone loves Uncle Richie!

My little Cohen turned five. I can't hardly believe how old he is getting. Apart of me wants him to stop growing up, but it is so fun watching him grow up. I am so torn. But I love this kid more than anything. His Momma sure spoils him. He had a whole theater all to himself and his cute little friends where they watched cars 2. Then we ate delicious food and opened presents.

Dino-hats!

Every 5 year old needs two cakes.  

Cohen's dinosaur face. 

Auntie loves you little man.  

Brought home Betos for my Kory. 

A shout out to my amazing friend Chelsea who traveled with me and held my hair for me while I puked into a doggy bag. I am so lucky you were there with me. Love you girl.

Kor gets his wings!

Last year I got Kor a groupon for his bday for a flying lesson. He finally got around to using it this weekend. I am seriously afraid of small planes, so I said about a million prayers the day before and day of. But all went well, and he really had a blast. Now he is talking about wanting to get a pilots license. What have I done? But I really am so happy he had such a great time. He got to assist in the take off of the plane, steer the plane, learn some maneuvers and got to fly all around beautiful Seattle. I was so proud and happy for him. I sure love my Kor.

USPS Win!

As I was shuffling through all the dreaded coupons (that go straight to my recycling bin) and bills I came across this letter that put the biggest smile on my face.

I seriously could not love Cohen more than I do. I am so excited I get to see him in a week and celebrate his birthday! Even though I live far away, I have never missed his birthday.
LOVE YOU COHEN!

T-Minus 10 Weeks.

Fun Fact about "T-Minus": a countdown sequence of counting backward to indicate the seconds, days, or other time units remaining before an event occurs or a deadline expires. Typical events for which a countdown is used include the launch of a rocket or spacecraft, the detonation of a bomb, the start of a race, and the start of the New Year OR THE BIRTH OF OUR BABY GIRL! True Story.

Meet Matthew.

Our new car! We already love him so much. He is a Toyota Matrix. Kor's other car, Lance Bass, broke down around Christmas. We have been a one car family since then. Which wasn't so horrible because my awesome friends are awesome and picked me up a lot, you know to go get frozen yogurt and do other really important things. Kor really deserves this new car. He is seriously such a hard worker and has been driving around a crapmobile for long enough. We thought about getting an SUV, but this car has everything we wanted from an SUV, and is waaaaaay better with gas. We mostly wanted a place for our dogs to ride that didn't interfere with our lady baby. So here he is.... MATTHEW!

We took our first ride tonight. The dogs were less than thrilled about their new spot. They are pretty used to sitting up front with us. Hopefully I can stay strong and not cave into those sweet faces.

Baby Registry.

So I wasn't totally on board with the whole registering for my baby thing, but a lot of people have been asking if I was. I decided to just look into it. I think Babies R' Us is way over priced and target doesn't have a huge selection. Also, I have pretty amazing friends who have hooked me up with a lot of stuff. I feel pretty prepared and super blessed. I have more clothes than my Lady baby will ever be able to wear. But I know babies require other things. I read a lot of forums on babycenter and came across one entitled "registering on Amazon?" and read it. I guess it's the new hip thing to do, so I jumped right on board. Cause' I'm pretty hip. I am so glad I did. Even if I don't get one thing off the registry, it has been a lot of fun. I feel a little guilty because not everything on there is a need, more of a want. But I can't help but want to spoil my baby girl a little bit. And that's all I have to say about that.

SBFFTS

When Steph and I were in elementary school we spray painted her moms fence with "SBFFTS" (Stephanie.best.friends.forever.time.sharon) in blue spray paint. We also made some sort of symbol to go along with our new gang. We were pretty cool. Fast forward to today and life has taken us to different states and stages in our life. But I still love this girl as much as ever. She now has her on beautiful daughter and I am excited to see Steph as a Mommy and give endless love to little Hadley. See you in a week Effy-bear

It's safe to say...

That I am completely obsessed.

If you aren't, you ought to be.

When two become one.

Growing your eyebrows out to get waxed....sucks. The urge to tweez is strong, but I must resist. Wednesday, you cannot come fast enough. Until then, feel free to pretend you haven't noticed.
