Though we are from very different places (rainy Vancouver Washington versus the sunny beaches of Southern California) our shared love of sports and the outdoors brought us together. We met in the summer of 2008 playing football...If you meet the person you marry doing something you both love, it creates a foundation of friendship on which your love can grow forever... I was lucky enough to marry my best friend.
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
"Don't count the days, make the days count."
-Muhammad Ali
Seasons come and seasons go One day sun, the next day snow Flowers die and flowers grow But love is never-ending.
This year Thanksgiving was spent with the Parry family in Washington. Instead of a white Christmas (seeing as how Christmas was on the beach in Hermosa with the Bells) we had a white Thanksgiving. As much fun as that was to play in and build an enormous snowman, it ruined football. So instead, we pulled out Henry's black powder gun and had some fun with that. Kyren and his sillyness also kept us entertained (yes, that green blur in that blurry motion shot is a flying Kyren, Jordan and Eldon had fun throwing him across the room, and he loved it too).
In December we headed south to California to enjoy a sunny Christmas. There we made gingerbread houses (the purple Dots and toothpick contraption in our driveway is the car Eldon made), put together puzzles, played games and read our favorite Christmas books with the whole family, visited Fraizer park to take Jered to the snow for his first time, and of course, had our Murder Mystery dinner. Just like Kyren entertained us for Thanksgiving, Jered stepped up and kept us laughing through Christmas and New Years.
