7th Inning Stretch

I can't believe it has been 7 years. We have gone down some bumpy roads, and some have been smooth sailing. All in all, it has been great and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Here is our 7 in brief:

Year 1:

-We lived in the guest house for the first 9 months.
-Got pregnant with our first, three months after we got married.

-We bought Ford, definitely one decision we have second guessed (a number of times)

-Bought our first house. It was perfect for us, and we loved it.

-We also bought two new cars. Something that we wondered if we made the right choice.

-Mason was born, and we were so excited to be parents.

-We had our first Anniversary, and ate the nasty old cake. Mason was only two weeks old, so we didn't do much.

Year 2:

-Mason was sick a lot. Nothing major, just a ton of funky crap. (We have stuck to that tradition)

-You quit working with Ernie and went full time Real Estate. That was a leap of faith.

-We made lots of new friends in the ward, and really grew to love it.

-We made our first Alabama trip, can we say memories?

-We hung out at my parents A LOT! Thanks!

Year 3:

-We got pregnant again.

-You continued to be successful in Real Estate, while I was busy building my clientele.

-Dad moved in with us, and you enjoyed the benefits of seafood. While I enjoyed the built in babysitter.

Year 4:

-Camden was born. It was my first c-section, and it was rough. You enjoyed watching it though, you are kinda weird like that!

-We had learned our lesson with Mase and were better at a sleeping schedule with Cam.

-We moved to St. George, with a 3 month old, into the basement of the office.

-You got your brokers license, and made Help-U-Sell happen. You are amazing!

-I still worked in Vegas twice a month, and made great money. I don't think you liked it very much, but you humored me. Thanks!

-The ward here left much to be desired. I had no friends, and that sucked.

-I missed all my friends in Vegas and wondered if we made the right decision.

Year 5:

-We bought our first house in St. George, surprisingly, in the same ward.

-We bought two new cars, again! WOW!

-I had surgery two days after Christmas, and it wasn't very fun.

- We took the boys to Disneyland, and they LOVED it.

-Then we got pregnant, AGAIN! ( hoping for a girl)

Year 6:

-I stopped working in Vegas, so I could watch the boys sports.

-Boy #3, early but healthy. Second c-section, different but great.

-Thanksgiving wasn't the best, but having a baby the week before was my fault. Meg and Sarah brought in dinner, mostly so they could see McKay.

-Santa came over to see the boys for Christmas Eve, and man were they surprised.

-We bought another house, again moving with a 3 month old.

-We love the new ward, and actually have people our age. I am trilled! And they boys can even play outside.

-Mase started Kindergarten!

-I swore baby4 was a long ways away!!! (HAHA)

-You started working at Home Depot.

Year 7:

-McKay had his eye surgery. (Another freak thing)

- Home Depot has been rough, but it has actually made us closer.

-You still coached all the sports, even though you were so busy. And I love you for that.

-We are pregnant again! (still hoping for a girl, but I have realized you are probably broken)

-We are real busy

-Mase started 1st grade.

-And Cam is in pre-school.

Year 8:

-WHO KNOWS?!?! Hopefully rich and famous!

Thanks for some wonderful years. And Cheers to lots more! I LOVE YOU!!!
