We feel like we have been married a long time compared to the couples that live near us who have only been married a few weeks, but after reflecting on the past two years and realizing we still have an eternity, we were very humbled this weekend. We had a very fun and relaxing anniversary. We decided we would just spend the whole weekend together. We went on a long walk, ate lots of yummy food, went to Bar J Chuckwagon in Jackson Wyoming and had a yummy roast dinner and homemade blueberry pie, made by yours truly.
It has been a great ride for the past two years. Luke and I were reminiscing about the first few months and how we were so shocked by the little disagreements we would have and how we were wondering what we had gotten ourselves into. We both couldn't help but look at each other and appreciate the sacrifices that the other has made and that we stuck through the think and the thin.
We love being married and are so grateful we have so many good examples of strong marriages in our family to learn from and look forward to the future.

Chapter 2: Charish the little moments
Max has taught me so much in just two short months. Yup, he will be 8 weeks on tuesday. I wrote in my journal for the first time since i have had him. I reflected on how at first I tried to fit max into my life and how I quickly realized it was a priveledge to be a part of his life. Even though life has changed for the better,I have started to see the same things differently. I don't have time to long for things in the future when ever hour I am thinking about how to make max happy.
I have spent a lot of time wondering about the greener grass on the other side but thanks to max, I am starting to learn how to appreciat right here and now before it passes me by. Last night all I was thinking about at first when max got up was how long it would take to put him back to sleep. In the middle of nursing him, in the dark he just pulled away from me, looked up at me and paused, then smiled and started cooing at me. My heart melted and I just talked to him for a few minutes and we both smiled and stared at each other. I won't get that exact moment again and I'm glad I had it. Here is another moment I am glad I have on tape so I can enjoy it over and over again.
