A text from Santa

So I found this idea on Pinterest that is pretty much genius. I apparently just saw it and did it instead of pinning it so I have no source for you, sorry.

Change the name on your own number in your phone and then send yourself texts from Santa.

Since Slade can read now he is totally eating it up. After I showed him the first text he looked at Madie and said "it's really from Santa!" So cute.

I sure hope I can ride this one out till Christmas... And maybe longer.

5 Years

This is us - 5 years ago.

 

 

Five years ago today I married my best friend.

 

I feel like we've been through a lot in the last five years. Some of the things we have had to deal with have really sucked! But more of the things have been totally amazing. Like building a happy family for Slade. And welcoming our two beautiful girls into this world.

 

Yesterday was a crappy day.

I felt lonely.

And just burnt out with everything.

 

It'd been almost 3 weeks since seeing Ben last, and we were planning on going all the way till Thanksgiving. Yesterday afternoon someone knocked on my door, it was someone delivering a beautiful bouquet of white roses Ben had sent to me for our anniversary today.

 

 

Then last night just as I was tucking the kids into bed There was another knock at the door. It was Ben. He came home for a few days to surprise us and totally made all of our day.

 

 

I lucked out with this one, I love you Ben, happy anniversary.
