Justin left a secure job at the State to take a 6 month fellowship with the Mayor's office in SLC. A month before he was through with that he was hired on as a management analyst for Sandy City. It couldn't be a more perfect situation for him. The timing was perfect, the opportunity was perfect. We feel so blessed to be where we are today. Our family has one more person than it did in 2012 and Colter has been such a blessing in our lives. We love having him around. He brings us so. much. joy. He has also pushed me to my limits which is making me grow a lot. 2013 gave me the best experience of my life so far- planning and preparing for the birth of my second son which was indeed an amazing experience. I never knew I was capable of so much- to give birth naturally, without medication, after a previous cesarean. It was a dream that came true. I feel like I'm becoming more and more the person I was meant to be. Granted I am only 24 and want to know exactly who I am and what I should be doing, how I should be acting, and what I should believe in. At times I get frustrated because I don't know all that about myself yet but I'm trying to patiently figure it out. I'm glad I have a man who is so loving and two boys to help me along the way. I just want to learn more about myself.
Here are some things I learned about myself this year:
1) I am passionate about the natural fundamentals of birth
2) My mind is far stronger than my body
3) I look and feel good with red hair
That's it for now and for now I'm okay with that. I'm trying to be more introspective and I think keeping this blog (that no one reads, thankfully!) will help me better understand and remember who we are.
As part of my goals for this year, I'm going to try to blog more.
This holiday season was a hectic one. My sister and her family visited from Florida, my husband's brother visited from Tucson and needless to say it was go go go for like two weeks. A family party or get together every other night, it was crazy. And so good. And so exhausting.
We took my sis and the cousins to the museum at thanksgiving point...
We partied some more...
We celebrated Christmas...
And we went to stay at Little America as always with Justin's fam. Not pictured is the couples massage justin bought me for my Christmas present. Uh mazing.
And for New Year's Eve, ez, coco, & I went to Noon Year's Eve at Provo Beach Resort with my friend Amanda visiting for Portland. 
After that we hung out at my mom's house. Ez got a ride in my dad's GT-R or "fast race car" as Ezra called it. And we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant La Casita, then back to my parents house for games, and went home at about 10. The boys were exhausted and so was I. It was a great night!
