This month is such a special one

Yesterday would have been my Grandma's 88th Birthday, but she passed away almost 8 years ago. She was an AMAZING woman. She knew how to truly love unconditionally and was always so caring. She had the light of Christ always with her. She just portrayed goodness in everything she did. Grandma suffered A LOT with pain and sickness but she never let it be about her. She was such a trooper. I miss her and love her very much. I will always cherish the memories I have of her. Yesterday afternoon we went to visit my Grandpa on this important day. He enjoyed our visit and I was glad to see him. He is also AMAZING.



Today is Preston's 33rd Birthday. We started the day with a full out breakfast of pancakes, bacon and orange julius per Preston's request.
Then we met up with Preston at the lock shop and brought him some
In N Out for lunch. Below are the kids having a little picnic by their Daddy's desk at the shop.

Tonight Preston will be staying home from his Church responsibilities so we can celebrate together as a family. We are having dinner at home of Steaks and Ice Cream for dessert since Preston is not a fan of cake. Even though he has to work on his birthday we are trying to make it the best day possible. He deserves it. Preston is an amazing man and I feel sooo blessed to be married to him. He is truly my best friend and I enjoy spending time with him. Often it seems like my time with him to relax and have fun is few and far between, but it helps me to cherish the times we do have. He is a hard worker , spiritual, compassionate, loves to tease but not in a way that would hurt a persons feelings,he makes me laugh, unselfish and a wonderful Dad. Just to name a few of his qualities. I love him deeply and I am so grateful to have him as my eternal companion.
