A little catch up.

So, Brett and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago.  I know, I'm a little behind.  I still remember his smile when he stepped out of his car 6 years ago, the first time we met.  (We actually met 2 1/2 years before that, but I don't remember his face then.  My memory is blinded from the redness of our cheeks when his grandpa made two strangers hold hands in the nursing home.  So, we go based on 6 years ago for meeting ;) ) Anyway, he stepped out of his car to meet me and my friends for happy hour, not knowing anyone in the city... only knowing that his grandpa recommended my company.  I knew there was something special about this grandson.  And there is.  After spending everyday for the rest of the summer together, every weekend making the four hour drive to see each other for the next year, getting married, moving across country twice together, facing miscarriage and infertility together, having a baby together... there is still something special about him.  And it is only getting sweeter.  We may not have the perfect life, but no one's life is perfect.  Having someone beside you to not only accept the imperfections, but embrace them with you... that is perfection.

Our summer has been going great besides some bronchitis, colds, ear infections, and spider bites.  Other than that, it's been a real blast! 

I took Emma to Monkey Bizness for the first time with Aunt Gina and her cousin James.  This is an indoor playground with inflatable bounce houses and slides!  I'm talking Rainbow Brite meets recess people!  I'm so glad Aunt Gina was there to watch Emma so I could play! (j/k.  But not really.)  So. Much. Fun.

We went to Jiggle Jam a couple of weeks ago at Crown Center.  They had several tents set up with different family friendly bands performing.  There were kids swimming in the fountains.  There was funnel cake.  And, there was dancing!  Emma had a blast.  This girl loves to dance!

We also had a pool party at our dear dear friends house with the rest of our small group from church. There are so many kids in our small group, two of them born just within the last month.  It is so much fun to watch them all get together and splash and play.  I'm so happy to have these wonderful friends in our lives.  I love that they all love being with their families as much as we do.  And, I'm so glad that Emma gets to grow up with such great friends with great parents!

This past weekend we went to Oklahoma to visit Brett's parents.  I have no pictures though.  I ended up in bed for most of the weekend, sick.  I hear the rest of the gang had a good time though ;)  We are looking for a good vacationing spot this summer. We prefer cheap.  Or free. Please let me know if you know of anyplace! 

I'm off to take my medicine and check on a sleeping Emma.  Have a blessed week everyone!
