The last couple of weeks I have had my family down visiting from Washington. It was SO nice to spend time with both my dad and Mary and then with my mom and my little sister. First my dad and Mary came down for a few days to spend some time with the boys and visit with me and Chris.
On May 16, 2009 I was officially baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon). My dad and Mary were able to attend that. It was such an AMAZING experience, and I truly believe I made the best decision I could have.
While my dad and Mary were visiting, we took a afternoon and went to Murray Park to relax and feed the ducks and let the kids play.

Brayden riding his bike at the park. He is such an amazing little boy. 4 years old and he is already totally riding (start to finish) with no training wheels. He was going up a big hill and rode down it over and over again.

Unfortunately my dad and Mary were only able to stay a couple of days, but we enjoyed every minute there were here.
A few days after my dad and Mary left, my mom and little sister came down. My little sister and I had been planning on getting matching tattoos for some time now so we finally went ahead and got one. We went to Big Deluxe on State Street and was tattooed by Deb. You cant really see in the picture but we got the saying "Always Sisters - Always Friends" tattooed on our hips in greek. (Πάντα αδελφές - πάντα φίλοι ). It looks amazing, and it has a lot of meaning behind it.
We also spent an afternoon hiking up Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. It was BEAUTIFUL and a pretty quick and easy hike.
It was so nice to spend some time with my mom and my little sister. It is sad that my family lives so far away.
Other things.......
Chris has started a new job as a window glazer. He is loving it, and it is a hourly steady paycheck, so I am hoping that things are going to start turning around and getting better for us.
I am so happy with life right now. I have started walking mornings and nights to try and get my pre-baby body back. So hopefully shortly I can report I have gotten back into shape.
Brayden got signed up for swimming lessons so he start that in June. Also in June Chris and I start Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.
It definately feel that all the peices of our lifes that have been so scattered around lately are falling into place, and I have such peace in my heart that everything is going to work out and we will be ok.
To all my friends and family. We love you and thank you for all your support!
God bless!!
