Weekend Update

Saturday we went to Christmas Village with the kids. It was freezing cold, but we had a fun time. Abby showed us a little more of her independent streak. She needed us to lift her up to see in the windows, but as soon as she was done, she wanted us to put her down so she could walk to the next house and yelled if we even tried to hold her hand. She wants to be a big kid just like her brother and sisters. She’s going to wear me out! After we had seen all the lights, we went to Arby’s for dinner and shared a couple of free mint chocolate swirl shakes. It was great day.




The best part of the day for me was that Nate decided to clean out our old filing cabinet and found a calendar/mini-journal from our first six months of dating. It was fun to remember all the stuff we did together and to get a little look into how Nate saw things. The highlight for me was seeing that we called and got a temple reservation on January 5th even though we didn’t get engaged until February 12th. Hmm. I didn’t really remember that. Nate remembers it being my idea since I was set on June 12th and I didn’t want to have to get up at 4 a.m. on our wedding day. I guess we figured it would be easy enough to cancel if things didn't work out. We are funny to me.


Sunday was Joey’s baby blessing. It was great to have a leisurely morning after a year of 9:00 church. There was so much time to get everyone ready. Abby was in love with baby Joey. She doesn’t get much baby exposure and was pretty fascinated with him. Ben was the entertainment for the upstairs crowd with all of his stories. It makes us laugh that once upon a time we worried that he would never talk.

Adam and I had a temple date in January and didn't get engaged until February 10th as well. Funny, I didn't think anyone else did that. It's a good thing we did, however, because the Saturdays in April were already pretty booked. We got a 2 p.m. time slot on the 22nd and it was awesome! (As you all know I'm NOT a morning person and getting up that early on my wedding day would have been torture!)

You guys are pretty funny to me! I haven't been to Christmas Village since we were dating, did you like it? It was good seeing you this weekend and I'm excited to see you on Thursday.
