It was five years ago yesterday that Jack and I were married. gosh. Yesterday Jack was in Nashville and so we had to put off our celebration to today. I left the boys with grandma and grandpa Passey and headed to the airport to pick up my sweetheart. After a 2 hr. long conference call (always busy) we were able to head up to Park City for some shopping. I got my first pair of good jeans, I really can't believe what I have been missing wearing crummy ones. I asked Jack "how many years does it feel we should be celebrating?" Jack's response "8" I totally agree. In five years we have: Moved 7 times, bought a house, short sold a house, had three kids(in 2yrs. and 9 months), lived in England, worked like mad. I know I keeping stuff out but you get the idea. Its amazing what you can accomplish in just 5 yrs. We are solid (we should be), and I am so proud of that.
We are staying away from the kids tonight (except Jane). This is my first time staying in a nice Hotel. I am loving that my bed was turned down and the chocolates on my pillow. THiS is much NEeDed.
I used my portion of our hotel credit to buy Jane her first tea set, I am so excited to play with it with her some day. I bought the boys a wooden puzzle. I love being a mother to these rascals, as crazy as they make me.
As I sit here typing Jack and Janes methodic deep sleep breathing is music to my ears. (poke fun at me "Seriously so Blessed" blog) I love my family. I am grateful for the first time in a long time for my trials, I would not be able to feel this much joy without them.
tomorrow its off to hunt for a place to live. Wish us luck.

Hang in there sweetheart... I just read through your last few posts and found myself crying! I love you and I understand your struggles, most days it's about survival til bedtime. I love you, thank you for making me feel like I'm not the only one
Congratulations on five years. I remember your wedding well, you seemed like the perfect couple. And I loved the message from your temple sealer. It is so nice to focus on why we are here and helps get through hard things! Good luck with the house hunting.
Good to hear you are having fun time. You guys totally deserve it. Let me know where you guys move. I think you are moving close to my parents.
