Sledding

Today we went sledding with our friends and their children. This was Izabella's first time playing in the snow. She wasnt to sure about it at first but then when she realized that it was fun and it helped her gums, she then loved it.
Little nathan got hurt a few times but nothing that he couldnt handle and thought it was cool to go down on a sled backwards and over a big bump... This was the best time we have had in a very long time as a family and it was well needed.

6 years ago today!!

Wow where do I begin? Well lets begin from the beginning. Almost thirteen years ago I was at a fair with my friends, when we all went on a Feris wheel and Nathan turned and looked at me and said "what do you think about us going out"? I then looked at him and said I guess we can date. I never seen myself being with him for a few months or even a year, we were both only 16 at the time. Then 4 and half yrs later we are on a cruise with his family and their friends for christmas, when nathan got on his knees and proposed to me in front of everyone on the ship. Of course I had accepted his proposal and couldnt wait to get of the ship to tell all of our family and friends back in michigan that we were engaged, needless to say everyone knew but my papa.

Six years ago today I married not only my highschool sweetheart but also my best friend. I was walked down the asle by my mom and papa as the song "from this moment" played and our wedding song was "when you say nothing at all". Some people tried to ruin my day/ night but it didnt work, I had my family and friends there that really cared about me and my day. Then my sister open her speech as the maid of Honor, "lets get this party started".

In our whole relationship we have had a lot of ups and downs, but that is what makes your relationship stronger, right? The past 6 years we have been through alot together, with losing pregnancies, a rough pregnancy with Izabella and nate's layoffs. But all these situations have only made our marriage stronger, especially after nate's first layoff. I believe it was god's way of saying you guys need to stop relying on your family and friends support and start relying on each other and you need to communicate with each other better, so that your mariage will be a lifetime marriage, because when nate lost his first job we had to move out of the state to arizona. As much as I hated it and still sometimes hate it. I thank god for it because when we hit hard times with each other, we support each other and communicate better now with each other on issues then we did back in michigan. In michigan we (mainly me) would not tell each other how we felt about a situation, but instead we would tell our friends or my mom.

Nathan I love you more today then I did 13 years ago and love you more and more each day. I believe in my heart that our marriage will be a lifetime marriage.

Happy 6years of marriage and many many many more to come.
