my boy

Let me tell you a story. It begins in February of 2008 when I met a boy. One day he came over to my apartment with his roommate to introduce themselves as my home teachers. I didn't know it at the time but that boy was going to change my life forever.

Fast forward 3 years and I am now married to said boy and we have an adorable little family together. This boy means the world to me!

Today is my boys birthday! 26!

 

Happy Birthday sweetheart! I figured I would give you a list of the top ten things I love about you!

1. You are such an amazing dad and husband! I don't know what SJ and  I would do without you!

2. You always make me smile. I think you are hilarious! It is amazing how many times you can make me laugh out loud! 

3. How strong your testimony is. I know that with you our family will always be strong in the gospel.

4. How compassionate of a person you are. You go out of your way for everyone else. It makes me want to be a better person - more like you.

5. How much you go out of your way to help me and make me feel comfortable, no matter the situation.

6. Your freckles on your lips :)

7. How handsome you are!

8. How you are always willing to help out. (You do the laundry a lot more than I do!!)

9. You are so responsible and hard working.  I am so proud of you for getting into medical school! I am looking forward to our wonderful adventure!

10. How much you love me!

I love you babe! Happy happy happy birthday!!

a new addition to the family, a new blog...

Welcome to our new blog! I figured it was time for a new beginning.

A lot has been happening in our life. Here's a little recap:

January 18th: Devin was accepted to Western University School of Medicine in Lebanon, Oregon. So that means that we are moving to Oregon in July! We couldn't be more excited for our little adventure. I am so proud of Devin for following his dream and working so hard to get to this point in his life.

February 19th: Our beautiful baby boy, Seth James Burr (aka S.J.), was born at 4:47 pm at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, UT. 7 lbs 14 oz's and 19.5" long. Devin and I are so in love with our wonderful bundle of joy (though he does keep us up most of the night...)

March 24th: The BYU Basketball team made it to the Sweet Sixteen and lost :(

So yes, we have been a little bit busy. I have been staying home from work to take care of S.J. and hanging out with Macy. Devin has been working long days to make that possible! (Thanks babe!) The Pediatrician put gave S.J. a prescription for Prevacid because he has reflux. I wish I could do something about this, it's so hard to listen to him cry and know that there isn't anything I can do about it.

A few things about being a mom: I am constantly covered in spit up and pee (his diaper doesn't hold much, apparently). I have learned to function on little to no sleep.  I would rather sit on the couch holding my baby, getting nothing done, than listen to him cry. (I am such a sucker for that little cry) I may have the best husband ever. He helps out so much and makes me feel beautiful (even when I am running around in my pajamas and I have spit up in my hair at 5:00 p.m.).

But most importantly, I never knew I could love a little person so much :)
