Happy Birthday Chad!

To take a page out of several other’s post I thought I would make a list of what I love about Chad and how amazing he is!

He carries the Spirit with him constantly and uses it.
He fulfills his callings and is constantly concerned about those he works with, whether it is the Stake, or Wards or even Seminary Graduates!
After almost a full year of his masters he has an A, I don’t know how it is even possible with how busy I know he is.
He has a beautiful voice, one of the joys I have found in not being able to sit with him at meetings (since he is on the stand) is to be able to listen to his voice from a distance, I love his voice!
He is a great Softball player and COACH!!!
He loves, loves, loves kids. I know he is going to be an amazing dad.
He listens to the Spirit and for inspiration. He has taught me that you always act when prompted by the Spirit.
He makes me a better wife and friend.
He can cry. One of my favorite things, and he does without embarrassment!
He is the “Spice-man” at our house. Whenever a dish doesn’t taste just right he can fix the problem.
He is a good friend, with genuine feelings and concerns for his friends.
He is an amazing writer.
He loves his Job, always wakes up happy to help the students.
He is a problem solver, trouble-shooter; he is willing to stay up late to help resolve problems.
He has taught me that it is okay to watch lame TV shows.
He has amazing, I mean seriously amazing calf muscles.
He can sleep through my hitting snooze for over an hour…yes kindest man alive.
He has beautiful blue eyes.
He is my second brain, he remembers what I don’t.
He is passionate about his Career path.
He is an amazing Spanish teacher, who even after almost 12 years still has the biggest classes in the World Language program.
He is my Best Friend. I know he always has my back and will be there to fight my battles.
He is a good driver and makes me feel safe.
He loves Ginger; I mean he really loves her. Even if she stinks.
He is caring.
He loves Sports, and has helped me become more educated.
He is amazing at Math.
He is so helpful with my callings. Whether it has been Relief Society, Young Women’s, or even Primary he has always been there to help make the activities and programs better.
He will eat pretty much anything. I never have to worry that he will hate dinner, because even if it is bad, he is willing to eat!
He carries all the heavy stuff. And gets mad if he doesn’t get to…
He is an amazing Brother and Son; he loves his Family and cares about them.
He is also an amazing Son in law and Brother in law, he helps my parents and they feel like he is just another one of their kids. I love that so much!
He is a great dater, he makes sure that we go frequently, even if it just to Maverick for Gatorade!
He is super huggable.
He has amazing shoulders to cry on, yes, they have been used a lot.
He is wonderful, Chad makes everyday better and makes me a better person.

After 10 short years I can imagine loving you more than I did when we met…but I do! You are amazing and I feel so lucky to have you has my husband and friend!

Happy Birthday Honey!!

Happy Monday! We have spent the night watching Die Hard on TV and during commercials moving from one floor to the next vaccuming, doing laundry, cleaning bathrooms, dusting etc. I have the best husband in the world!

Do you love your calling?

In a recent Young Women's Stake Leadership training I was able to listen to a talk based off of President Eyring's talk "Rise to your Call". (Now my very favorite talk!) For those of you feeling the weight of your calling it is a wonderful recharge for your spiritual batteries!

Happy Easter

Bok, Bok Easter Bunny! With plans for Ham, Rolls, Layered Jello Salad, and all other Easter must haves. Not only will we be full and content we only have our normal block of three hours, yes, don't fall over! No disciplinary councils, extra speaking assignments, stake meetings or Young Women's activities. Yahoo! What a way to celebrate the true meaning of Easter. We love you all and wish you were here (or at least that we were with you)!

Utah

Yes, we are alive! We are trying to keep up with Mom in working out, eating well, sleeping more, and drinking nasty apple flavored, powdered "fruit"...there are better names for it, but we will let you use your imagination. We have entered Spring Break for Amy and March Madness and thankfully we have a few days off together!

We never call or write...

Life has been busy. Not like everyone else isn't busy, but yeah. Busy a.k.a. Chaos.
For instance:
Basketball - American Fork Girls taking 2nd in state, yes actually beating Bingham High's team in the process. AF boys didn't do as well, but thankfully all Basketball games are over this week with Bingham Boy's playing in the semi-finals against Brighton tomorrow and then possibly on Saturday for the 5A region champs?
Now? Spring Sports, with tryouts/registration all this week!
Foreign Language - Chad finishes up the last of 6 full work days of Foreign Language Fairs including this last Saturday, incorporating a film contest, scavenger hunt, luncheon and numerous activities done completely around his real job of Athletic Director : )
Parent Teacher Conferences - Thankfully only for Amy!
Church: Weeks and weeks of ward conferences, speaking assignments, Standards Nights, Camp meetings, Stake Dances, and New Beginnings for Amy.
School: Yes, my honey is AMAZING!!! All that has been going on and he still pulls an A in his class that ends this Sunday!

So now what? Well, we are dragging our tired bodies and running away to Salt Lake this weekend, to hide in a hotel, play in Salt Lake and veg! Happy belated Valentines to the both of us!
