4 Years & Counting

jake & i celebrated our 4 year anniversary last week. we didn't actually get to celebrate on the day since he is in harvest but we did get to go to dinner & the band perry concert over labor day weekend. the concert was so much fun. baby boy had a blast too, he was dancing like crazy-but if you ask jake, he says baby boy hated it and was kicking & punching to make it stop! what would i do without such an amazing husband?! he is without a doubt the funniest, loving & hardest worker i know. he is under so much pressure every day and does such a good job at leaving the stress and frustration at the door. i couldn't imagine being with anybody else, he truly is amazing.

Everything Happens For A Reason

There's that phrase again...the one i despised for about a year and a half. The phrase can be used in any situation, the phrase I've actually found myself using a lot lately, but in the good way. This has been a weird week, emotionally, for me & it's not the pregnancy hormones. i remember this week last year as if it were yesterday. the emotions, the unanswered questions, the sadness. then i remember the support & comfort we received. the one little thing my grandmother told me that finally hit home & helped me understand why all of this is happening. i have secretly dreaded this week for a year, i wasn't sure how i was going to feel. but now that it has finally came & almost gone i'm feeling blessed. excited. happy. I know now that this is where i'm supposed to be & my sweet baby boy is supposed to be the big brother, not the little brother.
