Just as life is like a rollercoaster with it's ups and downs, so it is with my journaling efforts. Gotta be authentic, right?

Where did THE LAST 3 YEARS go? Playing catch up is too overwhelming so I'll just try to keep going as if I never stopped.

Third Time's The Charm?

Apparently not for us!!
Because I've waited such a long time to post, I wanted to have some majorly "blog-worthy" news to post about... With that being said, here's our news:
Baby Boy #3 is on his way!

Our own little "Black Stallion" is coming in May.
I say Black Stallion, because despite all his parent's efforts in trying to conceive a girl (yes, I know, when will I ever learn my lesson- I'm not in charge!?!) he defied all the odds- and is already bigger, manlier, and more stubborn (if that's even possible) than his brothers were at 17 weeks gestation...
So even though I can't honestly say I'm bursting with excitment, at least I won't have to redecorate or spend tons of time making hair bows and accessories or blow hundreds of dollars on cute frilly pink dresses... (Okay, I'm not even going to let myself go there.)
No, really, we're just happy he's healthy and feel blessed to be given another missionary to raise.
And who knows? This kid may come out and be the easiest baby ever- Maybe the third time really will be the charm. Here's to hoping!

Not Tired Yet...

On July 30, 2002, at this exact time, Brett and I were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. 8 years later, here are a few memories Brett and I have from our day:


Brett's Memories:
1- Our sealer turned the lights out as we rode in the elevator, and said "Okay you have one minute to kiss!" After we kissed, he exclaimed, "Whoa, that was loud!"

2- While we were having our photos taken around the temple grounds, our photographer yelled, "These pictures are gonna kiss a**!"

3- As we rode the elevator to our honeymoon suite, an old man told us his best marriage advice: "Make sure your ups and downs always stay between the sheets." (Anyone notice how Brett remembers a lot about elevators?)

Sarah's Memories:
1- Our sealer kept kissing me & repeatedely told me I was "so darn cute!" Brett assures me it wasn't a pick-up line...

2- My grandma and I experienced an awkward kiss on the lips. (Okay, enough with the kissing stories...)

3- Before the ceremony, he gave us some advise about the importance of good communication:
Husband: "I'm sure proud of you!"
Wife: "Well I'm sure tired of you too!"



8 years later, we can still talk to each other about anything. Brett, thanks for being such a wonderful husband & father- You're ambitious, kind, strong, quietly confident, extremely patient, and you continually help me to grow. Above all, you're my best friend! I'm not tired of you in the least!!
