We had a great day! Started off with an outside class of stroller strides! YEAH!! We ran up this really really long big hill TWICE! It felt so good!! :) Then after taking a REALLY hard test (which I didn't do as well as I thought I was going to) Isaiah cheered me up with some walking downtown at Art Walk. Let's just say...it was interesting.... lots of beautiful art and eclectic crowd of people. A plus was a super delicious organic burrito that I scarfed down in two seconds, a short walk near Capital Lake, and a fabulous chocolate mini blizzard from "the ice cream house."

Hope you had a great Friday too!

Here is the weekly fill in the blank.

(hosted by Lauren over at "the little things we do" blog.)

1. Fridays are the beginning of the weekend. I love my friday's right now. I wake up with Kaylee, go to Stroller Strides (outside at the park) and then go to class for a few hours. Then Isaiah and I usually pop some popcorn and watch a movie together.

2. The sun shining, the cherry blossoms blooming, sore muscles from an incredible workout and a day without a terrible twos tantrum makes me terribly happy.

3. Something that inspires me is seeing other moms with two year olds going through the same thing I am. It inspires me to know that I am in the same boat as ALL parents and "this too shall pass." But the getting through it is the hardest part. I am incredibly inspired by the women of my church who put all of their energy into raising such amazing young men and women.

4. If I had the day off today I would have done exactly what I did. Worked out, have lunch at the park, go to Art's Walk downtown, eat an amazing organic burrito, then end the night with some dairy queen with the hubby and little miss. (Well, I guess school was the only "work" I really did today!)

5. If I had to put a label on my home decor style, I would say my style is modern cozy. I just love simple decor, clean lines, and a warm color pallet.

6. Concerning politics I would say I'm an independent who leans more to the conservative side. However, in the two times I have voted I did vote for different parties. I really like watching the debates. I love learning about politics but I really get frustrated when people will just complain, complain, complain instead of acting on their complains. I love discussing politics with people because I value everyone's opinion and point of view. I am a fan of Sarah Palin but I don't know if I would vote her in as president of the free world. Who knows....2012 is right around the corner.

7. I'd like to go visit my mom so I could give her huge hug and kiss and tell her that she is such an inspiration to me and I love her so much. (tear....I know...)

Crazy excited about tomorrow!

Parkers 1st birthday party!!

I hit #100!!! Yeah for Heather!!

I am actually really proud of myself. I looked back through the last 14 weeks and I am so glad I am doing this. I love being able to document the small things in life. I love how blogging allows me to have a personal journal, a baby book for Kaylee, and a family photo album together all in one place!

This week was by far one of the best weeks of my life.
I would rate it in the top three life changing events as a adult for sure.
Hitting the 5 year mark of marriage felt pretty incredible. Not only have we surpassed 45% of the United States marriages but we recommitted ourselves to each other for time and all eternity. The best part was Kaylee was able to be a part of it all. I'm not saying the last 5 years haven't had their highs and lows, but to see how much we have grown together and the decision we have made together for our family bring tears to my eyes.
So here's how the week played out!

House hunting begins! I really wish this could have been an EPIC post being that it is #100 and all but unfortunately we were the 6th family to view this lovely home so we kinda knew we weren't getting it. We are ready for a house big enough the entertain in with a yard so we will keep looking to see whats out there. But in p365 it doesn't matter, its a picture of what we did that day right??

Happy 25th Birthday Lindsey!

This is where Kaylee fell asleep for nap time today. Amazing how she just goes and goes and goes and then just crashes.

Eye lash extensions for the big day! It took about an hour and a half to put each one on. They looked amazing!

I love target! Amy and I met at the mall for some last minute shopping before the big day!
I ended up going to my favorite store, TARGET, to pick up a cute outfit to wear to the temple. Love, love, love TARGET!

Our day was filled with love, joy, faith, and a life changing day at the Portland Temple.
