Happy Memorial Day!

Sunday, May 24, 2009

Matt and I got to spend 5 days in Washington D.C. sight seeing, touring, attending his brother Christian and his wife Sara's graduation, and going to their sealing. The sealing and graduation is what brought us there and I am forever grateful for the opportunity that we had to go. It was an amazing sealing and the temple is gorgeous!

As we approach Memorial Day my heart is full of gratitude and love for those who have gone before us and sacrificed so much for our country and for our freedoms we enjoy. I have a deeper appreciation to the people that have given and still do give EVERYTHING for me. I learned and relearned so much on our trip. All of the Memorial's have a special spirit there that you feel. It was amazing! The amount of people that have died in war is unbelieveable and so sad. I am grateful that we have a day to celebrate them. I love my country despite all the evil around us. It is truly an amazing country.

We finally got around to celebrating Noah's 2 year birthday. He turned 2 on May 21st, we celebrated on the 23rd(good thing he doesn't know). I guess I need to stop treating him like a baby. It has gone by so fast and I'm not ready to have a toddler! He may just keep getting babied a little longer, if Matt lets me. We had a fun celebration. We swam, barbequed, and had cake, typical birthday for the summer. The Price's, Nana & Papa Deaton, and the Haviland's came for the party. We had fun and Noah loved the new sports balls he got along with a baseball tee. We love you Noah!
