So Christmas came and went. Now it is January and before I know it will be Christmas again. We had Christmas at my parents house on Friday with my brother and sister. The boys got big wheels that can do 360 s. Blane got a Radio Flyer bike that you ride down a little slope. Then we had lunch, went bowling and had dinner. Then finally went home. Then Christmas Eve was spent with Craig s family. We had breakfast,then present time. The boys got the new Innotab and Blane got a ride on digger toy. He loves it. Then we played outside until the boys couldnt take it anymore.
I have been wanting to take my boys to the levee for the bonfires forever!! It was something as a kid we would go as a family to the bonfires on the levee on Christmas Eve. My parents still go. So this year I was determined to go. The boys had a blast. They rolled and rolled down the levee. Blane loved running down it and trying to walk back up it. LOL Then we got home took baths. Read the Christmas story in Luke and then the Night Before Christmas. The next morning Santa came and he was quite good to the Nelsons this year. Then we went to church. I really enjoyed the music and message. Then loaded up the car and went to Liberty MS to be with my Dads family. You see my boys now want to move to MS and live with their cousin Dhrer, who at age three got his first four wheeler and bow and arrow and hog for target practice. My boys don't understand why we cant have a four-wheeler at our home. LOL! We had such a wonderful Christmas together. I love my family so much. Then after Christmas Craig recieved a envelope from Our Lady of the Lake it had this in it
He is on the Deans list this semester. He amazes me with how smart and dedicated he is in his schooling. I am so excited where we are going with his field of work and for where it might take us. It has been a roller coaster of ups and downs trying for dental school, but sometimes things don't work out as much as we want them too. I know when that door closed another one opened immediately . He loves the nursing program at the Lake and cant wait for the CNRA field ( it will take two years of RN work first). I am so proud of him which leads me to my next topic.
7 years ago today at 1:00 in the afternoon, I kneel ed across the alter from Craig and was sealed to him for time and all eternity. I cant believe that it has been 7 years and now three kids later, wow how time flies!! I am thankful that Craig as giving me the option to stay home with our boys and raise them. Does it get hard yea esp with him in school. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have learned so much.We have such supportive parents and family. To Craig I love you. You are my Hero. You make me want to be a better person. You are such an amazing father and husband. THANK YOU for doing the dishes without being asked, giving the boys a bath without being asked, sweeping the kitchen without being asked, taking out the trash without being asked, vacuuming without being asked. You dont know how much that makes me happy. I LOVE YOU. I think my bff said it best when she gave me a card today for our anniversary that said 7 years ago
you married your eternal companion
you took on the "Nelson" name
you started your eternal family.
Thanks Jenn , I love you.
