Worth the wait

If I had a nickel for every time Robin or Brenda said they'd checked my blog and I hadn't posted...I'd be a rich woman.

.

It's been a busy month and a half:

.

We celebrated Andrew's 5th birthday with a Twister Party..

Kraig quit his job at the Medical Center of Aurora. It was a hard, short road. Thankfully we made it to the end without serious mental injury.

.

We took a two week vacation to Utah for Christmas with the Webbs. We had a delightful time visiting Kraig's brothers and sisters and mom and dad.This was our Family Home Evening retelling of Noah and the Arc. Tommy was Noah :) We also got to spend lots of time with my sister Cory's family.This is one of my handsome nephews, Connor. He found a new "lil' cuz" to tote around. Cory and I also took a day trip up to Jerome, ID, to visit our grandma and grandpa..

Thomas and I flew home a little early from the Utah vacation so that I could get some dental work done before Kraig's insurance expired at the end of the year. I am now the proud owner of an expensive porcelain crown. .

The kids and I had a wonderful month of full-time Kraig. My honey-do list has never been so short. What do you think? Does he look ready to go back to work yet? .

We bought a new car. It's a 2007 Chevy Uplander. Not super convenient time since Kraig was out of work, but it was a deal we could pass up. Plus that money had been burning a whole in our pockets. I am proud to say that we now own a car built in this century. .

Kraig got a new job as the assistant manager of Edge Pest Control. Call 'em. They're really good. .

I started Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred workout program. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll probably have abs like her soon :)

.

Thomas held "4 point." Therapy is going well and he is getting stronger everyday..

.

The highlight of my blogging break was that yesterday, January 28, Kraig and I celebrated our 6th anniversary.

.

Kraig and I switch off years planning our activities for our anniversary. He spoiled me last year with a weekend of fun, so I had a lot to live up to this year. I got my hair done by Elise Belnap (email me and I'll give you Elise's phone number. She's AMAZING!)..

We donned 1920's gangster and flapper costumes and immersed ourselves in a hotbed of prohibition, dancing, and....murder at the Adams Mystery Playhouse dinner theatre..

It was such a wonderful time. We were spotlighted because it was our anniversary. Kraig was one of the detective's thugs "Rico" and I was called up onstage because "Mae Weist" (the murderer) and I happened to have the same dress on. A fantastic evening!

.

Of course the highlight of it all was being with my sweet heart celebrating our marriage, the family we've created, and our life together. Kraig is my best friend and I am one lucky woman to have him forever. Happy Anniversary, Webb! I love you!
