Ode to Kimmie

Today my baby sister is going through the temple. We are so proud of her. Last year Kim had a handsome little baby, Tyler. She placed him with LDS Family Services. Tyler has a loving family and both parents to raise him. Kim is so strong and amazing.


She now goes around speaking in Sacrament meetings with LDS Family Services about her experience. Kim has made such a change in her life and we are so proud that she has made righteous choices to get her to the temple.


She met Jonny while she was pregnant. He is such an amazing young man. He stood by Kim’s side throughout the entire pregnancy... and boy could she get ornery. Anyway, Kim told Jonny that she needed some time to just work through things on her own and Jon was understanding and accepted that. When Kim finally got to where she needed to be Jon was there ready to be with her. I love Kim so much and I love Jon for loving her as much as he does too. He is so good to her. Probably some times more than she deserves. :) Nevertheless, I am so excited to see my sweet baby sister all in white preparing to become an eternal family with her fiancĂ©.




Kim, I wanted to reminisce about a few of my favorite memories, before you go off and become an old married woman.




I remember how everyone thought we were twins in Pirates of Penzance.
We were goofing off in the dressing room when we heard our song and knew we were supposed to be on stage so we ran across the building holding our dresses up so we wouldn't trip.

I'm surprised they didn't ask us not to come back for the other performances.

I think the picture says it all. I had never broken a bone in my entire body until you came along... We were making Peanut Butter fingers at my house and we got hungry so we put them in the oven (bad idea #1) and drove over to Subway to get a sandwich. I was just getting settled back in the car and hadn't put my seatbelt back on (bad idea #2) When the intersection light turned green and I told you to go (bad idea #3) A crazy woman driver :) wasn't paying attention and ran through the red light taking off the front part of your car.

I made sure to catch myself with my neck/shoulder on the dashboard. When you saw that I was alright after some awesome bystanders gave me a blessing you went and made sure the woman driver and the people in the SUV (that she totalled as well) were okay too.

But the part that makes you the best sister ever is, you went and got the PB fingers out of the oven while I was taken away in the ambulance.




Next time let me drive, okay? I have a better driving record. :)



Kim you're the best little sister anyone could ask for. I'm sorry Hollie and I used to hold you down and put soap in your mouth when you swore...


Looks like we cured your "sailors mouth" though :)


I love you!

My little Garden

A while ago Caleb was at work and I was bored so I bought some bug spray and sprayed the outside of our condo.


I started pulling back the weeds from up against the house because that's where you need to spray the bug killer and I just kept weeding until I made a perfect little garden outside out back patio.


There was so much junk in the bushes. I wore gloves because I didn't want to get any diseases :)
I showed Caleb when he got home and he said I need to get out of the house more. Sweet kid. Anyway the next day I went about bought a dozen flowers. There was no rhyme or reason for the ones I picked, I just liked them.
Caleb really wanted Snap-dragons but there weren't any. After I had planted these ones my mom dropped off 18 snap-dragons to plant between my flowers. I don't have a picture of all of them, but here is what I've have been doing since I graduated. :)

Silly Caleb

So I showed Caleb the morphing pictures I had of him and he made me remove them. LAME, I had so much fun looking at Justin and Michelle's that I had to do it myself.

Just a side note . . .

It seems like everyone in our ward is pregnant. It is so exciting, I am happy for them and their new additions. Marci my sister in law just had a beautiful baby girl on Tuesday and Hollie my sister is due in September. Last year I found out, I have PCOS Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which will make it difficult to get pregnant and even if we are able to it may not go the full term. So a couple weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. While I have experienced far more enjoyable things in my life, it was good to know that we were able to get pregnant. We're excited to keep trying :) I will let you know what happens.

Kids

My friend told me, "blogs are only for people with kids." But we don't have kids, so I decided to show you a couple of things my brother-in-law Jed added to his List of why Caleb and I can't babysit Brooklyn.

Special thanks to Michelle, Andrea, and Cara.

After only 9 short days and a little help from the girls mentioned above I figured out how to add more to the blog!






Caleb and I like to pretend we are supermodels.... What? You guys don't do that?











Sometimes I like to have a fake mustache.








But sometimes I don't :)

Blog?

We're going to try to figure this whole blog thing out. Maybe when I'm not at work I'll work on it some more.
