Valentine's Day

I've been meaning to get on here, but time and energy have just not been on my side. It's amazing how exhausted I have been lately. Work is kicking my booty. These past two weeks have been eventful, yet uneventful at the same time.

Two weeks ago, two very important people in my life, lost someone extremely important in their lives. One of my best friends lost her daddy, unexpectedly, to a heart attack. It broke me down to imagine what she was, and is, going through. My old dance teacher, lost her precious baby girl two days later. I've posted about this little girl before, but her name is Heather Faith and she was born with Complete Trisomy 22- a very rare chromosome disorder. Heather Faith defied all odds and lived for an incredible 13 months. She touched so many lives and continues to. You can check out her story here. I got to go to Heather's funeral, and it was a magnificent celebration of her life and her story.

But let me tell you. After a weekend of tears, and a week leading up to a funeral (the next Thursday), and working extra hours so I could go to the funeral, I was stinking exhausted. Thursday, I went in and worked for two hours, drove the hour to and attended the funeral, drove the hour back, and worked three and a half more hours. It took a major toll on me. I got home at 5:45, put on my pajamas, and went to bed. I woke up at 9 with a killer headache, took some advil, and went back to sleep until 7 the next morning. I felt amazing on Friday though!

My Valentine this year :)

Valentine's Day was kind of lonely. David went on retreat with the high school kids, which is awesome, but not so much for our first valentine's day as a married couple. Oh well, we have many many more to celebrate. I spent my v-day evening like this- made a Digiorno Pizza, sat with Lylah, and watched 7 episodes of Gossip Girl. Yes, I have a problem. Today was much more successful though, I made a weekly workout plan that's still being worked on, took Lylah for a walk/run (she doesn't last very long), went to yoga, hung out with my mom's best friend (who was in town painting their new apartment in downtown Denver), vacuumed our apartment,  did laundry, and made David's 1 year present (I'll share it with you later)!!! I can't wait for him to come back tomorrow.

I think that's about all of the exciting, or not so much, stuff going on in our lives right now. David is loving his classes, they're super interesting, and still enjoying work. I am praying about, and ask that you join me, in looking for a new job. I need one that is not so exhausting, and pays more… Oh! We're also getting new phones soon- yay! Leaving the iPhone world to join the Samsung Galaxy world. Woohoo!

Be on the lookout for the video I put together of our wedding. It was supposed to be part of David's 1 year present, but I was too excited! I'll share it with everyone either on our anniversary, or shortly after.
