Enjoying life while it's on hold...

On our way home from Chicago we were able to stop in Carthage and Nauvoo which was an amazing experience. We got to Salt Lake on Aug 31st just in time for the Ackerman "Camp Awesome"- (a giant sleepover at his parents house with all the siblings and nieces ad nephews.) It was so fun to see the family!

After the fun labor day weekend at "Camp Awesome", Pete and I began the Job Hunt. When I was getting stressed and discouraged about our temporary unemployment, Pete helped me realize that I need to not worry about the future but enjoy the present.

After I changed my attitude I realized that this time of our life is absolutely priceless. Pete and I have been able to spend more time with each other than we ever have before. Although we are working hard to find jobs we have also been able to spend a lot of time visiting friends and family and just playing. Spending so much time with my hubby has made me fall in love all over again. I'm remembering all the little reasons why I married him and discovering so many more. For example- Pete makes me laugh until my gut hurts over and over and over again. Every minute we spend together whether it be a boring or stressful activity, Pete has a way of making it fun.
I love you Pete! Thanks for choosing me!
