Wait a Second...

So I just had to post this because it made me smile. Last night for our FHE lesson, I talked about language and how the way we talk defines us and how people see us. So I made these jars for us and we each got the same amount of change and everytime one of us says a bad word, the other person has to take a coin from their jar and put in in the other's jar. Whoever has the most money at the end of the week gets a treat. Just trying to cut out the words that slip sometimes and just be better :)


This is based on the honor system and we are trusting each other. This is what the jars looked like today when I walked in from work. I'm a little worried about Josh.....either he took his money and bought a treat already or he had a rough day...lol. Looks like I win this week!


All the coins are in MY jar :)

Marriott Reunion and Baby Boy :)

Summer seems to have just flown by. Josh starts Fall Semester this Thursday. We were able to go up for a Marriott family reunion the end of July. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and just get out of town for a few days...wish it was longer. The weather was a nice break from AZ. We camped at Henry's Lake near Island Park in Idaho and it was beautiful! We also got to go to Yellowstone National Park on Saturday. It was really neat to see Old Faithful and some of the Hot Pots. Josh and I want to go back someday and spend more time there. We were only able to see one buffalo far off in the distance from the car on the drive in. I'm sure we will have lots of future opportunities. We added another state to our list. I have now officially been to Montana and man was it gorgeous! Wish it wasn't so far away.





















We also had our 20 week dr visit last week and got to find out for sure that we are having a BOY! We are so thrilled! I absolutely love this little guy already. He has started to be really active lately, usually when I'm going to bed or when I first wake up, but I have been feeling him all day at work some days. It's been really cool to feel him - he feels like a little fish inside flopping against the sides :) I think it makes me less stressed knowing he is ok and moving around. Such a fun time!
