It's been a year!

This week officially marks one year since we looked at our house. It was April last year we contacted the realitor and walked through the house. I remember not sleeping that night. My head was swimming. Soooo much work that needed to be done, so where does it rain money? No where I found out, but we have been greatly blessed. Looking back at the blog's pictures makes me realized how far we have come. I am loving my house and looking forward to the continued things to be done. I see us being here for a long time and raising our boys here.
Speaking of boys, Sam turned 12 yesterday. I cannot believe how fast the past 12 years went. He has brought so much joy to our family. His personality and humor never ceases to amaze me. I still see him as a 5 year jumping around, but now he's asking me "grown-up" questions. He interviewed with the Bishop on Sunday for the Aaronic Priesthood and for his first temple trip on May 1st. I can see his strong conviction and testimony of the gospel starting to sprout. I'm gonna be a mess the first time I see him pass the Sacrament. Get the tissues out! Thanks to all the family and friends that have helped prepare him so far in his progression. He has great examples of Priesthood holders that he observed. He has a tender heart and will serve the Lord well.

Tony and I got engaged around the time Sam was born. I remember coming to visit you in the hospital, and Grandma was there. Twelve years sure does fly! I bet Sam is excited to pass the sacrament.

Wow! Sam is old enough to hold the priesthood -- this is a fantastic milestone! You must be so proud. Although I certainly understand the tissue need. A very important time indeed.

As a mom all I can say is: Aren't our children AMAZING?!? Both you and Matt have every right to be proud.....Sam is a great example to all of us!
