Holy crap, A lot happened in the last 6 months! A LOT of exciting things that I am so happy to be able to write about on here! SO please don't hate me, I may drag this post out a little toooo much.
I guess I should start with my TWIN sister's wedding! It was so beautiful and such an amazing time for us all. It was truly her dream wedding! Everything was perfect! Her and Bret got married June 5th in McCall ID. We had a wonderful time sharing the special occasion all weekend long with close friends and amazing family! A moment that I will always remember was that Sunday morning, eating breakfast with our best friends and hubbys for the first time. I just realized how grateful I am to have such close relationships with my sisters, their hubbys and my friends.
So all the girls in the fam are officially all married off and we are so excited to all be in this next phase of life TOGETHER! Now, if only Em and Bret can jump on the baby making bandwagon.
Ok so June came and went and before we knew it Tyler and I were moving into our cute new house that we waited so long to have built for us. We are homeowners and SO EXCITED!!!! We moved in July 1st! However we were the first house to be built on the street soooo we don't have any neighbors yet but they are finally getting some more houses finished so I'm sure people will be moving in soon! We are praying for some nice neighbors for once! :)We are also only 1 mile away from the CUTEST elementary school I have ever seen and I can't wait for Madison to start preschool there ! The best part of it is that it's called EMMA Elementary! During the moving in process my awesome friend Shantel came and visited us!! WOW I WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE HER! We did some way fun things and I just loved having her stay with us! She helped me decorate and gave me some great ideas! She is an amazing person and I am so blessed to have her in my life.
Then there's little Madison, oh my heck has she grown! She will be 2 in just 2 months! She is a little tornado of a child! We call her this because seriously every room she goes in she leaves it like a tornado just went through it. But we love her hyperactive personality! Her favorite thing to do lately is DANCE! She dances to every song she hears!
Some random/funny things about her:
-She HAS to have like 5 spoons, 5 bowls, and 5 forks when she eats.
-She LOVES her carseat! She gets so excited when we leave because she knows she's going in her carseat. She can also climb into the car, get in her seat, and buckle herself up all on her own.
-She loves Finding Nemo or MINO as she calls him
-She loves going to bed and nap time. She is a big sleeper!!
-And since her dad is always gone flying around the world, she LOVES skyping him and kissing him on the computer.
Alright so another person I have to brag a little about is my amazing HUSBAND! He has accomplished so much and I could not be more proud of him. All through the summer he was in Airmen Leadership School becoming a Staff Sergent for the airforce. It was a long 6 weeks for us because we NEVER saw him. He was gone all day from 7-5 and then would either be home studying until bed time or stay afterwards until 9 pm, studying. But this was a big promotion for him so we were just excited for him to get through it. His graduation FINALLY came and so my amazing dad and his amazing mom and sister came up to visit for it. I loved every second of seeing my hubby being recognized for his hard work. But the best part was when they announced that he had achieved the award for being top of his class! The award is called the John L. Levitow award and only goes to 1 person out of the 50ish people that graduate leadership school. He worked so hard for it and earned it! He has became so successful in his military career!
Sooo now he is back to working and taking college classes. He is so close to being done with college so he is trying so hard to get these classes taken care of! YAY! He also has already gone out on 2 missions. Right now he is away helping out in the middle east and should be coming home in the next couple of weeks. He is one busy guy that's for sure! I am so proud and supportive but I am also looking forward to when I get to go back to school/work one day and have his support. But right now there is no way we can both focus on school/careers while giving Maddie the attention she needs. So, I am very proud to be a stay at home mom during this time and just help my hubby get through what he needs to get through in order to provide for his fam!
Anyway, Madison and I got to go on a little vacation to Utah while Tyler was studying away last July to visit my amazing sister, Sarah and her adorable little family! I love being there so much and it brings back a lot of old memories! The reason for our visit wasn't only to have a ton of fun and spend time with her but also to help her out with the NEW BABY! Yesss, another little nephew!! I was so blessed to be able to be there when he was born ! I feel like that is one of the best experiences you can share with your sisters! The new little guys name is Kyler Curtis Craig! And boy is he a cutie!!! He was so small and probably the best baby I have ever seen! I love him so much!
Also we celebrated our 2 year anniversary! We didn't do a whole lot since Tyler was so busy getting ready for his Leadership graduation so we just enjoyed a day hiking up Mt Rainier! We loved just getting to spend time together alone and exploring! We hiked up to a beautiful waterfall and ate lunch up there.
Last but not least, one of my close childhood friends, Emily Blackhurst MOVED in with us!!! We are LOVING IT!!!! She will probably be staying with us for the next 6 months while she is working in Seattle! She is such a free spirit and I love it! Her and I love working out together and exploring the seattle area. Ewww which brings me to the my next thing. I have been on this insane diet for the last 2 weeks and I hate it. I have a goal to loose 20 pounds soooo I will keep trucking but I can not wait to eat yummy foods again! Hopefully I get there!!
Well that about caps off the update! Right now Madison and I are enjoying visiting Em and Bret in Wyoming while Tyler is out of town and we will soon be driving to Idaho this next week to spend some time with my mom until Ty gets back!!
Thanks for tuning in!
