making memories
Yesterday was our 7 year anniversary. It's hard to believe we've been married that long already! It has been an amazing 7 years, I must say. I can't believe how blessed I have been these past years and how blessed I am to be able to be with Jarom for the rest of forever!
We were more than a little disappointed to find out that Jarom had to work inventory on our anniversary. He worked from 6 am to midnight! I decided that I couldn't just let our anniversary slide by without doing something.
Jarom only gets a half hour break to eat, so I dropped the ladies off at my mom's and went to meet him at work for dinner. Usually we just eat up in the break room, but I thought something a little more intimate was in order. So, when I met Jarom at work I took him out to our luxurious minivan. The back seats were removed and I layed out a blanket and lit some candles on a little plate on the floor. We had a romantic candle-light dinner in the back of our minivan in the Macey's parking lot! It sounds very cheesy, and a bit like something you might see in an 80's flick, but it really was romantic and it created a great memory for us! I'm sure 20 years from now we will tell our children about our anniversary dinner.
It's amazing the good things that can come out of something that seems unpleasant. Although we didn't get more than 35 minutes together the whole day, it was a wonderful experience. We'll never forget this anniversary!
I wanted to list some of the things that I LOVE about my husband!
1) He is constantly volunteering to do small things for me that seem not to matter, like getting me a drink if I mention being thirsty. No big deal, but I really appreciate it.
2) All of his little "quirks"; like the fact that he has to eat chips with his left hand, or put on shoes just to walk out into the garage.
3) He is patient and understanding when I am not.
4) The way he plays with his little girls, like they are his favorite thing in the world at that moment.
5) How he can't keep it a secret when he gets me a gift. 75% of the time he tells me what it is before he gives it to me.
6) He asks me to come and look at what he's accomplished (much like a child would) after he cleans a specific room.
7) His bright blue eyes that seem to jump out at me every time I look at him!
8) The fact that he will get up in the middle of the night to take care of one of the kids.
9) If I complain about being tired he will literally escort me to bed and tell me to take a nap while he takes care of the kids.
10)He is willing to shave my legs for me when I'm 8 months pregnant and can't bend down that far.
There are so many other things that I love about my husband! But 10 is a nice number to end with. Here's to the next 7 years, and then some!

Song of the Day
My favorite song today is "Numb" by Linkin Park. Although it's not necessarily in my nature, sometimes you just have to be numb. (It's on my playlist if you want to have a listen.)

Sorry My Friend
Won't you say you'll take my pardon and say I'm forgiven; I tried and I tried. Sorry my friend! Sorry again!

Allyson
So here are some pictures of our new additon to the family. Everyone was excited to have her come into the family. We were worried about Molly and how she would react to having a baby in the family but she loves her and calls her baby Alls which is so cute. We are all enjoying her and we are glad to finally have her here.

progress!!
Well, it's getting down to the end now. Less than a week until my due date! I was actually dreading my doctor's appointment yesterday because I have not made any progress in the last few weeks. However, I am happy to report that I am finally progressing! I have begun to dilate and am 70% effaced! Yay! So we are hoping that she will make her appearance by my due date!
You may or may not know that this labor will be riskier than labors I've had before. Because Molly was born by C-section, and I DO NOT want to have another C-section for a couple of reasons, this labor is what they call a VBAC delivery. Which just means having a "normal" delivery after a C-section. This is a riskier process because of the scar tissue on my uterus. Although my doctor says I am a prime candidate for a VBAC, the major risk is that my scar tissue could cause my uterus to rupture. Obviously, this is a worst-case scinario, but ulimately it could lead to uncontrollable bleeding, a C-section, and then the possibility of having my uterus removed. Which, would obviously ruin the possibility of having any more children.
I'm feeling pretty good about things, and I am not too worried about that happening. But if you would all cross your fingers for me and throw in a few prayers, I would appreciate it!
P.S. On a happier note; Happy Birthday to Mckenna! She is awesome!

olive juice!!!!
Up to this point I wasn't sure if my sister read my blog or not. But I know now that she checks it occasionally at least. So this post is for her.
I hope you know how much I love you! I know that things are excrutiatingly difficult for you right now, and I am so sorry. It's not fair. Plain and simple. But you are one of the strongest women I have ever met, and I have no doubt in my mind that you will pull through this struggle with grace and dignity, just as you have always done.
I am always here for you whenever you need me. I know that I am insanely pregnant right now so you may not want to 'bother' me for help. But please do. I'll do my very best in the things that I can, and once Allyson finally gets here I'll be able to do pretty much anything. Please know that you are not alone. We are all here with you!
