this week.

first, i will just say im exhausted. i have had a super busy week....mostly of really fun things, but still, i'm tired.
sunday we celebrated our 7th anniversary. we didnt go out and doll it up this year.... we ended up showing eachother acts of service as our
gifts, and to be quite honest, i really loved it.
i sometimes cannot believe that i have been married 7 years.
it seems like a life time that i have been married, but at the same time i feel like it was just yesterday we started our lives together. it is pretty fun
to think that when we got married i was 20 and he was 23
and at the time we felt sooo old.
i know im only 27, but i feel like the last 7 years with todd, i have really become more myself than ever, and we have really become one as a couple.
i love our love.
todd got accepted into the MBA program at ASU, so we tacked on another year of school, but added another degree....... so im ok with that extra year ;)
he started his orientation this week, and he says he loves it and this is
where he is meant to be.
tuesday night we went to the closing dinner of the orientaion so i got
to meet the guys in his group and meet some of the people
who will be spending more time with my husband than i will be.
thursday was todds 30th birthday, so todd and i celebrated at la grande orange in phoenix for dinner.
friday night todd watched the kids while i went out for lisa's birthday party.

saturday i was asked to help in our stakes play in a day. we were assigned the 50's, and i was asked to help with a couple of dances in the play.

we started at 9am...... 2 meals, 30 kids, 2 route 44's, hearing rock aroud the clock 40 times, and 2 performances later i got home around 9:30.

again....im tired.

todd watched the kids all day, and i came home to a clean house.

good job todd.
