Button Makes a New Friend

Kyle's dog is very skittish and doesn't like anyone to touch her but Kyle and after several months me.  If anyone approaches her she crouches down on the floor and starts shaking uncontrollably.  To my surprise the other night at one of our gatherings Garrett comes through carrying Button.  How he got her to hold still long enough for him to pick her up is beyond me as she usually takes off running if any of the kids get anywhere close to her.  Not only did Button let Garrett hold her for a long time she wasn't shaking the whole time either.  It was quite an accomplishment on Garrett's part.  Garrett says Button is his "best dog".  I assume that is something like being his best friend.  Every time I see him he wants to know where Button is and since then when we've been together Button has let him hold her as well.

Our Anniversary Get Away

Thanks to the generosity of our loved ones Kyle and I were able to spend some time in Park City for our anniversary.  I was informed that I had to spend the money I received for my birthday on something fun so we used it to go down the Alpine Slide, the Alpine Coaster, and the Zip Line.  We went to dinner at the No Name Saloon for our anniversary dinner and it was really good.  They have really good mozzarella sticks and Kyle said his buffalo burger was excellent and my fish and chips were really good.  They have a good batter.

The leaves were already changing and it was absolutely beautiful.

Happy Anniversary to Us!!!

Today is Kyle and my 2nd wedding anniversary.  We were sure blessed when Heavenly Father led us to each other.  I'm not sure either of us would have made it through the past two years without the other to lean on and pull each other through the trials we've been through.  We have spent many nights sleeping together in a hospital bed and I don't think you can get much closer than that.  I think we have both aged about 20 years in the last two.  I thought about doing a recap of all we have gone through but that would just depress me and if you don't know you can just look back through the blog to catch up.  We have faith that I'm going to get a good job soon and that things are going to turn around for us.  We read a plaque today that said, "Whoever said that less is more, doesn't know what they are talking about."  We totally agree with this statement. 

I love Kyle so much.  He has a huge heart and would do anything for those he loves.  He takes good care of me and shows me he loves me in so many ways.  Despite everything he has been through and continues to deal with he stays positive and doesn't complain.  Whenever you ask him how he is then his answer is always that he is fine.  It's a good thing I've learned to see through that.  I would not be happy if I had been told I had to spend the next six months wearing a big boot, but he just took it in stride and doesn't whine about it.  At times it seems the last two years have flown by and at others it seems like we have been together forever.  We are looking forward to many more years together and figure that after the last two the rest should be a breeze.  Thanks for all of your love and support.  We never would have made it this far without our amazing family and friends.

LOTOJA

Brian rode in the LOTOJA bike race for the 7th time on September 10th.  Craig, Dad, and Kyle were his support team.  Susan, Mom, Marlee, Marijka, and I followed along and cheered every rider we passed.  It would safe to say that Mom and Susan were having a pretty darn good time.  Things went down hill quickly when we went to check into the condo and found out that it was reserved for June instead of September.  Brian was totally exhausted and we couldn't find anywhere to stay so we all had to get in the cars and drive back home.  I felt so bad for him, but I did end up being home for my birthday.
