So Many Things

So many things have happened since I last posted. We moved last Saturday. It was great. The whole move started when Nichole helped me pack up my whole house on Friday. I don't know what I would have done without her. Even though she is six months pregnant, I think she did most the work. You always need someone impartial to help you box everything up. We had so many people help us move on Saturday. Thanks to my Dad, Mary, Meagan Anne, Abe, Megan Beth, Rueben, and three wonderful men from our old ward. We loaded everything in a uhaul (I highly recommend this to everyone). It made the move so easy. We loaded all the storage stuff in the front and the things we were taking to the Bogles in the back. We unloaded at the storage unit. Who know most of our stuff could fit in a 10x20 storage unit! We then went and unloaded at the Bogles. There Steve, Elise and kids were waiting to help unload. It was nice to get everything done and mostly organized by 3:00 in the afternoon. Tom and Rueben spent the rest of the day fixing things at our house and taking things to Goodwill. It was a good move!

We are now living with the Bogles and it has been alot of fun. It is so nice having lots of family close. These are a few things we love:
1. Betty's home cooked meals every night. (I know Tom and I really appreciate them.)
2. Brecken playing with his cousins everyday.
3. Three wonderful women to sit around and chat with.
4. Rueben's handy man work.
5. A big yard for the kids to run around in.
I am grateful for the generousity that Nana B and Grampy have given to us.

On a different note, Today is mine and Tom's 6th anniversary. Who knew it would last this long? No I am just kidding. I knew from the very beginning that I was in it for the long haul. Here are a few things I love about Tom:
1. His sense of humor. Tom is always trying to make a joke about something. Even though I may not get it or I may even think it was mean. He is at least trying to make our life full of laughter. I also love Tom's impression of a Velociraptor. If you haven't seen it you will have to have him show you.
2. His blue eyes and brown hair. I have always wanted to marry a man with blue eyes and brown hair. I thought it was very uncommon but who knew there was a family out there with every child having blue eyes and brown hair. Good thing I picked the right family. Luckily my beautiful boys got there Dad's handsome blue eyes.
3. His smartness. (If that is even a word) Tom is so smart. He knows every little trivia out there. Did you know in fifth grade every Friday Tom's teacher would have the other kids play stump Tom. If they could find a question that Tom couldn't answer then they would win a prize. I have always thought he should go on some game show like Jeopardy or the cab game where they ask you all the trivia questions and you win money.
4. His love for his Mom. It is always nice to see a man who treats there mom with respect and love. Tom will do anything for his mom. He loves and respects her so much.
5. His love for me and the boys. He works long hours so I can stay home with the boys. He loves to play and wrestle with the boys. He also loves to wrestle with me but we won't talk about that. I love our long conversations in bed at night when we both can't sleep. Who knew you could solve the worlds problems at 1:00 in the morning. Although it is funny how you wake up the next morning and think, what were we thinking.

These are just a few things I love about Tom. Here's to a long post! I am grateful for our family and especially for Tom and the boys. Hope everyone is having a fun Turkey Weekend.
