We have had some scorching temperatures around here which is pretty typical for Vegas this time of year, but I always forget how hot it gets – how I walk out of my house and into an oven. We went to Wet n Wild on Monday with Becca, Jud, and Sadie, and it was crowded and super hot. Fun times, but the rest of this week we’ve stayed in our cool house. Can’t wait to get this month’s power bill.
Yesterday Rita’s Ice Custard Happiness was giving away free Italian ice, so we took the boys to get some of that. Much needed and super delicious on a day like that.
These 4 are my heart and soul. It’s ridiculous how happy they make me. Sometimes I lay in bed and think about my life and feel an immense amount of completion and wholeness. If this isn’t a fullness of joy, I can’t even comprehend what that will be like. Maybe it’s all of these smiling faces and a husband that never has to go to work, children that never fight, a baby that never cries, and non-stop family togetherness. That would be perfection. And clothes that never need to be washed or folded, almost like there is an unending supply of clean clothes and the dirty ones just disappear. Anyway, aren’t those faces just perfect? I can’t wait to meet my next baby. It has to be a boy. I know I mourned for myself when Logan was a boy, but I absolutely love that I am surrounded by sweet boys that love their mama. I could just kiss all of their faces all day long. Now I feel like I’m on a roll and need to keep this boy business going.
Today was a lazy day. Jacob is sort of in between jobs again, but that’s okay because we are getting this thing figured out. He’s been doing IT training with Anthony every night, reading books, and he’s all signed up for classes. This technology stuff is really up his alley, and it is nice to see him doing something that he enjoys and has a natural ability for. Everyone knows him for his technical savvy-ness, and I know he can use his talents and abilities to provide for our family. I really want him to do what makes him happy since he has to work for us the rest of his life. I don’t want him to be stuck in a career he hates just because it brings in the money. His happiness and our happiness take precedence over money. So that’s kind of what we’re focusing on now – him getting the training and education he needs for the field he wants to end up in.
We had dinner with G-Ma and G-Pa Edgel tonight. Sometimes I’m not the best at planning out and executing dinner, particularly Friday-Sunday. So we sorta ended up at the Edgel house last minute because we were hungry. But that’s what parents are for, and I’m glad that we live nearby so someone will feed my starving boys when I don’t want to.
I’ve been reading The 5 Love Languages, and I really enjoyed it. I also discovered that Jacob and I have a pretty good understanding of how we each like to be loved. We already do a great job of meeting each other’s needs, and I’m grateful to be in a happy marriage. I’m grateful that he takes the time to tell me what I need to hear and that he never fails to express his love and appreciation for me. He’s kind of the best, even on the days when we are bumping heads. Our marriage isn’t always unicorns and rainbows since we are two different people with two different ways of thinking and doing things, but we really are happy, and it’s something we are always working at. I certainly love that husband of mine. I wouldn’t trade him for a billionaire. Or Thor.
