Happy Anniversary!!

This week Spencer and I celebrated our 7th anniversary! We both took time off work. It was much needed time to just be together. We had a lot of fun. We have been through a lot these last 7 years and it is neat to see how much our love has grown. Heavenly Father definitely knew what we both needed :)

 
(7 years ago we both said "Yes" in the Salt Lake Temple. Here is a picture of flowers Spencer got me. He got me some spring flowers on Saturday and then added 2 dozen roses to it on our anniversary. The picture of us is after our date on our anniversary, fun times!!)
 
 
 
I thought I would update on what we have been up to lately...

Spencer is in school full time and working part time. He amazes me because he works so hard and loves it. He loves doing all this for our future. His work is going well...so well that they have big plans in store for him. It is something we are definitely praying about.

I am working 3 days a week as an RN. It is nice to have days off after my old job as Director of Nursing. Spencer and I are also Beachbody coaches and love being apart of their program. We definitely believe in it and it's not bad side money. We started one of their workout programs, Les Mills Pump, 6 weeks ago and we love it!! It has been so much fun :)! We have also been blessed to become debt free other than our home :).

Sometimes it is hard to blog because there are so many things I want to say, but just cannot put it into words. The adoption process has been hard. It is hard to be waiting...waiting for our family. My family was down a couple weeks ago and I had a sweet, tender mercy happen. In tears, I shared it with Spencer, but once I saw my mom, I knew I just had to tell her. She got in the truck with me and Spencer and I just broke down as I told her. She as well broke down. She knows more than anyone how hard this road has been on us. Sometimes we just need someone to listen and not judge. This is definitely a roller coaster ride. I know I've said it before, but man, it is so true. We have good days, really good days, and not so good days. We are grateful for faith, the power of prayer and fasting, and the adoption process. It may be hard, but it is making us stronger as a couple and will make us an even stronger family :).
