The beauty living in Park City


Tonight a friend and I were on a way to a Bridal shower and as we were driving we saw a moose standing there in someones front yard. In the three years that we have lived up here there has been deer as well as a BEAR right in our complex. Do you think we saw either of them? NO. We have seen many other deer, and even a fox, but this is the first to see a MOOSE. Needless to say I was pretty excited. We feel so lucky to live in a place where mother nature is literally knocking at your back door.

We tip our hats to ALL parents

So Danny and I have the privilege these last couple of weekends to BABYSIT. Last weekend we tended my adorable niece and nephews, then this weekend we watched my bosses kids. We were with my niece and nephews on Friday and Saturday, and then we were with the other kids this week from Thursday night till Sunday!
There are some perks about babysitting. First of all we love to be with our niece and nephews, second my bosses house was beautiful and very nice, third the money, and fourth it makes us so grateful for our alone time together. One thing that opened my eyes to the future is I am going to have to be the disciplinary while Danny get to have fun with the kids!
Now to touch on that fourth one, as you all may know having children has not been the easiest for Danny and I. Although it is our deepest desire right now, this was just the thing we needed to help us (me) be a little bit more patient. As all you parents I am sure know, there is NO downtime with kids, and when there is after bed, you have other things to do like make lunches for the next day, do dishes, laundry, clean, and the list goes on. So the only time you get to spend together is the last few minutes before your head hits the pillow.
I just wanted to take the time to thank all you parents, thank you for doing all that you do for your children. Mostly I want to thank my parent and Danny's parents. Thank you for always putting your children's needs first, for raising us in the gospel and for supporting us no matter what.
We cannot wait to have the opportunity of parenthood, but I am so thankful for the time that Danny and I get to spend together. I am so grateful for him and his positive attitude and patience.
