9 Year Anniversary

-
I can't believe how fast the years have been going by lately. Caleb and I nearly didn't make it to celebrate this year because it snuck up on us. We were both in bed with the flu last week and it was miserable. By Thursday night we could finally eat again and we were suppose to go out on our weekend getaway on Friday. We decided that we had to go. Rescheduling is too hard, he had the time off work, we had the babysitter lined up, and we needed to get out! It had been too long after my surgery, secondary infection, and the flu to boot.

Caleb called his friends the Blodgett's and asked for a favor. I looked online and every place we wanted to go had no vacancy for the weekend. We didn't want to go too far since we only had two nights. His friends have an amazing house in Bend and they let us stay there. I still can't believe they said yes. Something about that house made us feel better instantly and throw some stuff in a bag and run out the door. There was no looking back. I spent my lunch break on Friday running to Victoria Secret for an added bonus, and it was worth the trip.

We got to sit in a hot tub, watch movies in our private theater, soak up a beautiful view, sleep in, eat amazing food, get a couples massage, eat desert every night, and get lots of cuddle time in. We had so much fun it was probably one of our favorite anniversary trips. The house is so amazing it made the romance come out!

Here's a few blog appropriate photos of our getaway. We are feeling revived and madly in love.

Christmas 2012

The best things about our Christmas this year: 1. Lights- Caleb put up lights outside our house this year, but he forgot one critical step in the process. He didn't check the lights before he put them up. Our brand new LED lights we put up last year already stopped working. He took down one set of lights, leaving the other set up on half the house. He also left the hangers for the lights on our gutters. The second set he left up did work, but he didn't have an extension cord long enough to reach. So we left it like this all December: 2. Gifts- We wrapped all our gifts early so we could see the beautiful wrapping paper and ribbon for many weeks. I do this so that I can take my time, and also to do a check on the amount of gifts and make sure I didn't forget anybody. I also hate going to the stores at the last minute. But every year I still go to the stores because my dad didn't get my mom a present, my sister needs a few more things for her kids, and Caleb usuall...

Caleb Escapes Death

I was working from home on Friday when I received a phone call from Caleb. "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." I asked him where he was and what I needed to do, and his reply was, "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." Then I asked him where he was and he had no idea. I heard someone talking in the background and I asked if I could speak to who he was with, and his reply was "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." After about 20 of those responses I could hear the lady with Caleb saying she was taking him to St Vincent ER. That's all I needed to hear, I jumped in my car, just in time to sit in traffic. I wanted to get to the ER as fast as I could but Memorial weekend vacationers felt otherwise. By the time I got to the hospital Caleb was all checked in and had his room. His memory was about 10 seconds for the first hour and I proceeded to answer the same questions over, and over. "Renae, how long have you been here? Where am I?...

It all works out in the end

I've been stressing about Mr. Caleb working in Eugene. It's 59 miles from our house, which makes for a long drive back and forth every day. A ton of miles on the car, gas, time away from home, blaaaa! I've been commuting too long and I didn't want Caleb to get home so late. Well..... now he doesn't have to. He just got offered to work for the same company in Albany. Which, is only 19 miles away from our new house. He just carved 80 miles round trip off his daily commute. Yeah for Caleb!! He won't start working until October so right now he is a stay-at-home-dad. I went back to work on the 1st of September and he has been home with the kids every day. I love to get messages from him about how he is barely surviving, the kids are going crazy, and he's super tired. I get home and on most days they are all in their pj's. However, last night I came home and everyone was dressed and he cleaned the house! If I could just get him to have dinner on table....h...
