3 is my favorite number

and it also happens to be our 3rd anniversary! holy hannah where has the time gone? when we first got married and moved up to rexburg some people in our ward had been married for 3 years (we had only been married for 6 months) and i remember thinking, holy hannah 3 years?!? now look at us... we're old pros :)in 3 years we have:
*managed to live in 4 (soon to be 5) different places
*learned to live (put up with?) with each other's quirks
*had 3 different cars
*had 5 different jobs (split between the two of us)
*been on lots of fun vacations
*received one bachelors degree (hoping to have a second one soon!)
*had the cutest baby boy in the whole world
*gained one too many pounds
*learned, grown, laughed, and cried
*and i wouldn't want to do this with anyone else by my side

thank-you jared for working so hard for our little family. parker and i love you lots!

family update:
this is jared's last week of work! yay! he has been working 60+ hours a week! he has enjoyed his internship and the people he has been working with. we really are grateful he was handed this awesome internship. he is looking forward to getting back into school... the end is in sight for him.... hallelujah!

parker continues to grow! he still loves to be held by anyone that is willing to hold him. he has started grabbing and holding his toys, and tries to reach for everything now. he can sit up by himself for a few seconds (okay so he is bent in half with his stomach on the ground, but still, he doesnt tip over to the side) he loves to reach for and grab his toes, and he has recently found his loud voice, and will jibber/jabber all the time. especially if he is lying in only his diaper and playing with his feet. he hasnt really rolled over again since he did it in february, but we're workin on it.
i am just looking forward to moving back to rexburg and into our own place again. although i am very grateful to jared's parents and my parents for letting us mooch off them for a few months, enough is enough and i cannot wait to have my own space! i am little terrified to finally be with parker by myself all day every day though. its been nice to have my sisters and mom to pass him off to during the day. luckily summer is coming, and we can spend lots of time outside, since our new apartment is right next to porter park you better believe we will be there often.

Happy Anniversary! Time really does fly by and so much can happen in so little time. Parker is as CUTE as always. Also, I got to see your Dad at Skyler Jones' Wedding Reception! It was SO FUN seeing him, but I missed you :P.
