I love Track

Track season has arrived! I will never stop getting teary eyed when I see this scene. Awesome athletes humbling them selves and calling on God for help. 
Lets go Carter!!
Mollie is also on the team this year and of course doing an incredible job. She is trying out the 100 and 300 hurdles and sprinting races. I told her she is doing the tough girl races. She is incredible. 



 Its been so fun to be excited for multiple events at a meet! I love watching and cheering on my kids! They both are killing it!

19 years!

We celebrated 19 years of marriage on Mar 1st! We are in a really good spot right now and I always with I could have grown up sooner and enjoyed him longer. The early years and child bearing years were rough on me. But now with hormones evened out, and more time to spend together, life and marriage is really sweet. Weve put the work in and it hasnt disappointed! 
We celebrated our anniversary the following weekend. We got an air bnb and went to our favorite pizza joint called Via 313. I ate a pickle and pepperoni pizza and it really was yummy, but 1 peice was more than plenty. It was very flavorful of dill and garlic and was too strong by the end. But I dont regret it. 
Chad went for his fav pep and pineapple that is so good. 
We stayed the night in a bnb that had a cute hottub covered in a gazebo and lights. We were so excited to use it! Sadly, when we got there, it was broken and we didnt get to use it at all. The owners were great and credited us $100 but we were sad we didnt get to soak. These old bodies need it! We made it better by eating our cheesecake that we picked up after dinner and watching a movie. 

The next morning we went to the Titanic Exhibit. It was.....okay. I really wanted to see real artifacts and I guess I didnt understand that not much was left of it by the time they found it and surviving a crash. It was cool still to step into that time and relive the creation of it and the devastation of the crash. 

Walking down the halls I felt just like Jack and Rose in the Titanic!
Even more so when we go to this staircase! 
And the theatrics were pretty cool. This room made it feel like you were on the edge of the ship looking out into a dark starry night. It was pretty cool! 

 I was underwhelmed though. Not worth the money I guess. 

We shopped a little and then headed home. 

Happy to spend the day with you my love! Im grateful for the happy life weve built.

Panama!

Bri had to do a country report and since she had just returned from Panama, that is what she chose! She had to make a paper doll with authentic clothes and I think this big dress that the ladies wear to dance in turned out perfect. She even did the beaded tembleques that they wear in their hair. 
She had to create a stamp too. 
And her poster with all the fun facts about it. We used leftover leave decorations from my parents homecoming and it worked out well. 
Bri talked G&G into bringing her class a bag of candy so they could try Panamanian candy. They of course obliged and everyone was loving the candy. 

 I love that my kids have gotten to experience different cultures and visit different places in the world. I really hope to continue giving them experiences like this where they can learn about the world! Great Job Bri!
