Romance on campus

Jeremiah and I have been married for almost 4 years. Our anniversary is October 1st and this is how we met. Brigham Young University-Idaho is often referred to as BYU-I do and for a good reason. Jeremiah and I briefly met at the Latin Association in June 2010 but it was a game that brought us to meet again. That day at the Latin association we played a game called the "murder spoon game". We each had a spoon with our name on it and we put it in a hat and the hat went around and we each picked a spoon with someones name on it. Our job was to take that spoon home and during the week find the person who's name was on the spoon and steal the spoon the other person had and who ever had the most spoons by the next meeting was suppose to win the game. I honestly forgot about the game and just kinda shoved the spoon I got in my backpack. A few days after the meeting. Jeremiah came knocking on my door. When I saw him at the door I thought he was looking for one of my room mates but he was actually looking for me. In fact, he had found my address at the school directory. Kinda creepy at first but super sweet now that I look back:) We chatted for a while outside my door and at the end of the chat he asked me out on a date. He didn't even mention that he was there because of the spoon. After that day, things moved very quickly between the two of us. It took only a few weeks for us to fall in love and only a couple months for him to propose and we were married on October 1st 2010.

All the dets about the birth!!

You never know when the baby is going to come and for us, little Daniel came 2 weeks before his due date which was awesome! I was just very ready to get him out. To tell you guys the truth, after 9 months of being so uncomfortable I wasn't even worried about the pain. I just wanted to get it over with!! I have a feeling that is how most women feel.  I had an appointment with the midwife on Tuesday the 30th and at this point I was only 1 cm dilated and the baby was still high. So I wasn't really expecting the baby so soon. Nevertheless, I started to feel contractions Saturday evening. They were coming pretty regular at first but they weren't that painful yet. They felt manageable and I was even doing chores that evening during them. I thought about calling the midwife at one point to give her a heads up but they started fading away after a while so I kinda just forgot about it and went to bed. A few hours later though maybe around 1 am I started to feel more contractions....

Kindness is the answer

            I read an article today about a study that was done by various social scientists at the University of Washington. The article states that SCIENCE has found that   lasting   marital relationships come down to   kindness   and   generosity .   The article caught my attention because of the simplicity of the behavior of being kind. I was expecting perhaps an article about how it is essential to have good chemistry, compatibility, shared interests... Things that I have heard from those around me that are apparently key for a successful marriage… Kindness though? I mean this is just a basic behavior that I try to teach my toddlers. My question at first was, how is kindness supposed to be an answer to a successful marriage? That's when I continued to read...  The article starts out by repeating the well-known distressing statistic of how the majority of marriages fail, with only 3 in 10 surviving. Statisti...

And I'm going to say it straight out, yes we are having another boy.... :)                                                             Baby Luke Due Aug 31 Apparently I'm only meant to have boys...:) which is OK. I've been meaning to write a post about my life as a mother of 3 boys but for one reason and another I just haven't had the time. This is a good opportunity to give you guys a little idea as to how life is over here. First I want to give you guys an update on Aidan.  I don't even know where to start with him. If there was a perfect child, I feel like Aidan would be it. He is currently 4 years old. Not too sure what his weight or height is but hes pretty tall for his age. Usually he is at the top o...
