Christmas 2015

By K + Z 0 Family, Holidays, Personal, Sloan Permalink 0

The week leading up to Christmas day was filled with family and friend events. Sloan was a champ and handled the hustle and bustle of our schedule like it was no thang. At the beginning of the week we had a get-together with my old roommates from USU. We haven’t all been together for almost two years, so it was fun to catch up with all of them and their significant others.
Also, Sloan met Kelli and Luke’s Bennett for the first time. He’s four months younger than her and almost already her height. She was swooning over him the whole night. My only goal was for her NOT to poke his little eyes out [that’s her new thing…touching people’s eyeballs…]

Wednesday I had made a reservation for all three of us to go to the Roof. But since Saturday was the day after Christmas – we asked the cute girl that watches Sloan on Saturdays to switch for a Wednesday night. She obliged and Zach and I had a date night instead. We did a little last minute Christmas shopping, had dinner with a view, and then ran some errands before getting home to a sleeping Sloan.

Christmas Eve was slow and sweet. We all slept in, I attempted [for my fourth time – I just can’t find the right one] to make an almond pastry for my family, and then we all showered up and made our way up to the Layton AMC to meet Mark and Jeanene for our Christmas Eve tradition – a movie.

I was so proud of Sloan. She lasted over an hour into the movie before I had to bail with her. We decided to drive across the street to the mall instead of roam the halls of the movie theater. She was in heaven watching the hoards of people and even more thrilled to watch the train that was weaving down the halls. Afterwards we met up with everyone again + Chad and Racheal’s family at Tepanyaki for dinner. It was Sloan’s first time and she thought it was the greatest dining experience of her life. She would NOT stop pointing at our guy on the grill. We even convinced him to toss her her very own shrimp [which hit her in the head] and she thought it was just the greatest thing ever. We all left completely stuffed and smelling of fried rice. My two BFFs weren’t mad about it, though…

Christmas morning was the cherry on top. Sloan was so excited when Zach walked her down the stairs to see her stocking filled with THE MOST random of gifts. Zach got a signed football helmet by Kyle himself…and wore it during the duration of gift opening.

Zach surprised me with a freezer to go out in our garage! We were totally lame this year and just told each other which clothes and coats we wanted, purchased said items, and then wrapped them up. It wasn’t super sentimental – but we both got exactly what we wanted. So when that freezer was all set up and cooling down in our garage…I thought my heart might explode. I guess that’s part of being an adult: wishing for freezers and other house hold appliances! We stayed in our PJs all morning – until my parents and brother and sister-in-law came over to join us. They all gave Sloan her gifts [the adults did not exchange gifts this year – we are saving up for our family vacation instead] and she was on cloud 9 opening gift after gift they got her. My mom – instead of coal – got Sloan a can of black beans in her stocking. That, surprisingly, was her favorite item she received. I can’t wait to see her enjoy all of her other gifts – including the cutest piggy bank, books, and a doll house. Our families spoiled Sloan more than we did!

We made our way to my grandpa’s house in Magna to exchange gifts with my mom’s extended family. Sadly, I didn’t get any photos. I wish I had a picture of my grandpa opening his tablet we all got him.

Afterwards we drove up to Ogden to eat dinner at Mark and Jeanene’s house. As per usual – Mimi and Papa had planned quite the show for their grandkids. The Gingerbread Man [my nephew Alex] came and visited the grandkids. But, in a shocking turn of events, the Grinch [Zach] bit both his arms off and one leg…
It all worked out OK, though. The Grinch apologized for stealing all the grandkid’s gifts and then biting the limbs off of Gingie. Sloan was dressed as a gingerbread girl…but wasn’t fooled by Alex’s costume. She knew right away that he was inside. What really tripped her out was that her Dad’s voice was coming out of a green monster. She kept trying to rip open his mouth and look inside…There aren’t grandparents that are more fun than Mark and Jeanene. Mark is so creative with his ideas and the kids just love every second. I can’t get over this picture of all of them together with Mimi and Papa [we are missing Clark, who went rogue and Connor, Addie, Cole, and Aiden because they were in Ohio].

We went to bed wayyyy too late that night. After we made our way home from O-Town, put Sloan to bed, and unloaded our car we were both exhausted. I don’t think a successful Christmas happens without a little exhaustion.

The Saturday after Christmas I was in overdrive. I had all our Christmas decor and the majority of our Christmas cleaned up by Sloan’s first nap. There’s nothing more depressing that having the Christmas hang-over left all over your house. In the afternoon it was our Fotheringham Christmas party. My parents dropped by our house on the way down to help set up to bring Sloan a few more gifts they had from their Christmas Eve gift exchange. My aunt and uncle got her the most hilarious hat [with bangs and braids] that she thought was the greatest thing she had ever worn. Along with a singing lamp that lights up. It was like Christmas was on repeat in this house…
We spent our evening down in Draper with thousands of Fotheringhams. We had soup and salad, had a game exchange, and visited with everyone.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Sloan made it even more enjoyable and exciting. She isn’t quite at the age where she can understand the true meaning – but we’re going to work on that next year. In the meantime, she’s all about her can of black beans and abandoned wrapping paper and boxes. I’m so grateful for my Savior – who gave me my best friend and my baby girl. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Winter Wonderland

By K + Z 0 Activities, Family, Food, Holidays Permalink 0

In years past, I used to dread when a big snowstorm would roll in. But with a one-year-old in my house [and no commute to Salt Lake for work] I couldn’t have been more excited when I saw the forecast for this week. Sloan has experienced snow before – but not to this extent. She is actually old enough to play in it now. Monday, during Zach’s lunch, he came home to build a luge for Sloan to slide down in her snowsuit.

She also discovered she could EAT the snow. Which was possibly the highlight of her whole week. She doesn’t look thrilled – but she tripped out when we took her inside.

Monday evening – for FHE – we went with Mark and Jeanene to Rodizio for Zach’s birthday dinner. Yes, his actual birthday was in September – but we are a little behind on birthday dinners currently. Sloan loved watching the snow fall through the giant windows and later would enjoy (even more) the servers bringing skewers of meat to our table every 30 seconds.

Mid week I dressed Sloan in her gingie jammies and we decorated a gingerbread house. We had some structural issues – hence the peppermint columns – but everything turned out alright. Turns out Sloan doesn’t care for frosting – but she sucked on the gingerbread child that was included in the kit for a solid 20 minutes. We’ve had a lot of mail being delivered. Family members are sending gifts for others to my house so they can keep them a surprise. Don’t even ask to see inside my pantry if you come over until AFTER Christmas Eve. It looks like a FedEx delivery truck inside there. Sloan loves a good mail day – she loves even more when stuff we can actually open shows up…

This week Sloan got a lot more goodies in her advent calendar. My favorite was “One reading of Dad’s favorite Christmas book”. If you haven’t read The Christmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher – YOU MUST. It is a Hendo Family favorite…as it should be.

Saturday a few of the Hendersons went down to Las Vegas for the BYU vs Utah Football game. In a strange turn of events – the wives weren’t actually invited to the game. Instead, we were told we could “go to lunch and go shopping”. We flew down Saturday morning and I can honestly say it was the best football game I’ve ever been to. Sorry, Zach… My parents watched Sloan for the day. She was in heaven – doing all the last minute Christmas shopping my parents had to do. She thrives in a public setting…

We weren’t even there for 12 hours [the shortest amount of time I’ve ever been to Vegas] but we managed to have lunch at the Wynn Cafe – please get the Asian Chicken Salad…please, shop at Fashion Show Mall – Zara IS FINALLY OPEN, hit up Caesar’s Forum Shops, and have dinner at Joe’s with the boys once the game was over. I’m pretty sure after Zach saw the damage that was done at the NIKE store he probably wished I would have just gone to the game, but like I said: best game I’ve ever been to.

We flew home around 8:00 pm – saying goodbye to Vegas at night is my favorite view of the flight home.

The next morning was church bright and early. I had to teach the lesson in Relief Society (just a sub, obviously) and afterwards we made our way to the Henderson extended family Christmas party at the Layton Skating Rink. Sloan could have watched her cousins all night and played in blow-up land for the rest of her little life. She also has fallen hard for Lael’s infamous sugar cookies. I couldn’t even sneak a bite without her mouth gaping open for a taste.

This upcoming week is already going to be bananas. We have a family or friend party every night leading up to Christmas. Even though the schedule is daunting – I can’t wait to see all my loved ones and count the days down to Christmas. THREE more sleeps until the big day!

A Merry LITTLE Christmas

By K + Z 0 Family, Holidays, Personal, Sloan Permalink 0

Sloan and I have been on a mission to get all of our Christmas to-do’s done. It seems like everyone else is on that same mission, as well. Because I’ve had a FLOOD of work coming in. Everyone needs everything done before the holidays. So, in an attempt to not get caught up in the holidaze – we’ve been cramming as much in during the day as possible. We took a trip to TJ’s this week – Sloan was in heaven. The hoards of people make her the hap-hap-happiest.

We only went for four things on our list, but somehow ended up leaving with BUNDLES. Literally, bundles of twigs with live berries and bunches of greenery.
I decided to keep our planters outside for the remainder of December (only once I was all this goodness at Trader Joe’s). It was my first time doing live planters. I literally had no free time to do it – but wharves! It’s been raining ever since – so I haven’t even had to water them. One of the days on Sloan’s advent calendar this week were these elf pajamas. I couldn’t resist. I popped her right up on one of our shelves. Our real-life Elf on a Shelf.

She also got a “Home Alone” beanie. Kevin McCallister has nothing on this chick. If only she’d keep her pants on…

I still had a bunch of people to cross off my Christmas list – so Sloan and I did a little gift shopping at Station Park later on in the week. She is the best shopping buddy. Give her a pile of clothes throw around and she would stay in a dressing room all day…

By far my favorite gift in her advent calendar this week has been her reindeer socks. Her chubby knees overflow right over the top of them. Sloan Knees reindeer socks
Friday we went shopping down in South Jordan with Mimi. Sloan loves Zach’s mom. She knows just how to tickle, swing, and tease Sloan. She’s always on cloud 9 with Jeanene.
Saturday we had a full day – but in between Sloan’s naps I met my mom do to some MORE Christmas shopping. We got almost everyone and everything checked off said list.

Later that evening was our Date Night. We decided to eat at Nordstrom’s restaurant Sixth and Pine. Braving City Creek wasn’t our most brilliant idea.
I got a strawberry salad that was the bomb.com – and the view of the lights was gorgeous from our table by the window.

After dinner we made our way over to Zach’s friend Chet’s place for his annual Waffle Christmas party. There was pin-making (I made a Ryan Gosling one), prizes, and paper crowns worn by all. It was the perfect ending to our night.

Sloan is starting to pick up on all this Christmas cheer. She can now point and direct you to baby Jesus, our Christmas tree, and every Santa in every festive book we own. Having a little one in our home for Christmas is going to set the tone for our holiday. I’m still just counting down the days…

Just Doin’ December

By K + Z 0 Family Permalink 0

Let me preface this whole post by explaining something: Last year I wasn’t much into the Christmas Spirit. My body was still recovering and I was pleased to have put up my Christmas tree and decorated it – let alone do any other Christmasy activities. So I decided this year I was going for it – going hard.

To really kick things off – I got Sloan her very own advent calendar. Growing up – my advent calendar was one of the highlights of December for me. I wanted Sloan to have one to enjoy, too. The problem with giving a one-year-old an advent calendar is that you can’t fill each day with a chocolate or candy, you have to get creative. Thus far, out of all 7 days, her favorite prize has been the mini rubber ducky. Her least favorite – a tiny pair of mittens that fit her perfect…that she absolutely despises.
This week we stole Zach during his lunch break and drove down to Salt Lake for the Christkindlmarkt – a German Christmas Market. There were small booths set up (deja vu of Swiss Days, I might add) and tons of delicious food. Zach got a pizza – because that’s the least authentic German food item he could find – and candied nuts. I left with a live bay leaf and berry wreath. I’d call that a win win.

We thought it would be the perfect time to visit Santa and take some photos – turns out Santa takes lunch breaks, too. And he was on his right when we arrived. So we snuck into his tent and took a photo on his Santa seat. Sloan was bummed we missed him, but she enjoyed the animals more, anyway. This week Zach got all of our Christmas lights put up on our home. He put in so much work – both he and his brother Chad – spent a few days over at our place on the roof. All the time and effort was worth it. He absolutely crushed it. He even obliged when I asked if we could line the windows…

I got my neighbor gift tags all designed up and printed and spent a few nap times getting everything prepped. Gift wrapping is one of my favorite things to do this time of year.
Sloan is still under the weather, so we spent a lot of time at home this week. I am the type of personality [a toxic combination of ADD and OCD] that can’t stay cooped up inside for too long. Before I knew it, Sloan and I were organizing my entire kitchen, pantry, and basically the whole first floor of my house. Only taking breaks to introduce her to her soon-to-be favorite Christmas film: Elf.

Friday night we stayed in and watched Home Alone as a family. It was on our December-to-do List.

Saturday morning we woke up and got ready bright and early for breakfast with Santa at the Grand America. I’ve been trying to get into this secret society for 3 years now, and have never had any luck. Thursday night I decided to call and see, if it just so happened, if there were any reservations that had canceled. Turns out a table of FOUR people had canceled just that morning – and I was the only one that had called and asked. SO after three years, I got my wish. But this time – I got to take Sloan AND Zach with me. We were a tad early so we walked around the hotel and peeked in all the windows, the Bakery, and went ga ga over all the holiday decor.

The meal was honestly to die for – I didn’t even get a chance to discuss it with Zach. He was too busy in line for the omelet bar on his third round. There were berry waffles, macarons, a cereal buffet, an omelet bar, a crepe bar, cheese stuffed pastries, SO many jams. All three of us, including Sloan, overindulged and didn’t feel bad about it for one second. The best part was that we got professional photos taken with Santa and Mrs. Clause. Sloan didn’t trip out like I was fearful she would. Instead, she didn’t move a muscle. Like she was frozen at the sight of magical whimsy. She was overcome with Christmas spirit, perhaps.

After we got home that afternoon, Zach let me go on a run outside because the weather was so pleasant. Afterwards we got ready for our date night. Dinner at Market Street and a movie down town. It was incredibly crowded – there was apparently a Jazz game and hordes of people to see the Temple Square lights – but we didn’t mind one bit.

Sunday I stayed home from church to be with Sloan. No matter what we did or how hard we hoped for her to get healthy, her cold decided to stick around. So when Zach got home from his meetings we all got in our jammies and had the laziest Sunday in recent memory. We ate dinner, watched Christmas Vacation [now that I am typing this I am realizing it wasn’t the most appropriate film for the sabbath] and wrapped presents. We’re only a week deep into this month and we’re totally crushing our December-to-do List. Let’s not talk about the fact that I totally spaced the dates of the Festival of Trees this year – but we still have plenty left up our sleeves.

17 sleeps until Christmas!

Anniversary + Three Rounds of Thanksgiving

By K + Z 0 Family, Food, Holidays, Personal Permalink 0

We started Thanksgiving early this year with Zach’s entire Henderson side of the family. We had dinner at the Classic Skating in Sandy. It was Sloan’s first time to the Sandy rink and Zach was begging me to take her into the Blast Zone as soon as we set foot inside. I quickly fed her dinner and then the three of us ventured into the BZ. It was just as I remembered it – a child’s paradise – with the slightest foot odor. Sloan was in HEAVEN. She slide down the giant red slide, watched the foam balls fly around, and slid down the baby slide for a good 45 minutes. It’s probably the happiest I have ever seen her – no lie. Fun Centers are in her blood, I guess.

We ate our dinner and visited with Zach’s extended family. The Hendersons know how to throw a mean family get-together. It was great to see everyone and Zach can hardly wait to bring Sloan back to the Blast Zone next year.

Since we celebrated our anniversary early in Chicago, we weren’t planning on doing much for our actual anniversary. Zach went out of town earlier in the week for a jet convention and when he arrived home he surprised me by booking us two nights at the Montage up at Deer Valley. The planner in me was a little frazzled trying to get myself and Sloan packed up so quickly – but we made it work. And it was wonderful.

We were there a year ago exactly with an 11-day-old Sloan. Except this year was much better because I didn’t have any stitches. You know what I mean…
A sweet man at reception gave Sloan this stuffed fawn when we arrived. She wanted NOTHING to do with it. She wouldn’t look at it or even touch it. I think it scared her for some strange reason. We couldn’t stop laughing about it.

We settled in and then ate our chocolate covered strawberries and sipped on sodas.

We put Sloan to bed in her crib [at the Montage the closets are super spacious – so Sloan got her “own room”] after her bath and watched the Mockingjay Part 1 to get caught up before seeing Part 2.

The next morning we hit the outlets. Sloan was super enthusiastic about it. Afterwards we had lunch and hung out in the hotel lounge. All the wood burning fireplaces were going and Sloan was mesmerized. She loves the ambiance of a good fire.

Then we made our way outside for the s’mores. It’s possibly my favorite part of our stay every time we visit. Sloan refused to keep her coat on, so I had to zip her up in my coat for the mallow roasting. Her first taste – she was a huge fan.

We had some time to kill before our dinner reservation – so Zach and Sloan played pool.

We then made our way up to the St. Regis for dinner. Zach obliged to my request – the J&G Grill. It’s my favorite restaurant in all of Utah. No exaggeration. Sloan may not look like it, but she loved riding up in the funicular.

Zach let me go to the hotel gym the next morning and as soon as I got back and showered all three of us hit up the pool. Sloan could live in the water. All we need to teach her now is not to suck up so much chlorine when she gets excited…

We checked out that afternoon and drove home. Later that night Zach took me out for an Anniversary dinner, just the two of us, before seeing the Mockingjay Part 2 at the new spiffy Sugarhouse Theater.

Even though I wasn’t expecting anything for our anniversary – Zach still managed to surprise me. He is too good to me. I don’t deserve someone THAT thoughtful.

That following Monday we decided to have Family Night at Olive Garden. I think Zach said, “When You’re Here – You’re Family” ten times. Maybe more. I stopped counting. Sloan loves pasta, like her mother, so she obliged.
Who at corporate at the OG decided it was a good idea to give kids stickers in the kid’s menu?? It provided great entertainment for US not SLOAN…Thursday morning we all slept in. Sloan woke up around her usual time but didn’t want to stay awake once I grabbed her out of her crib. So, for the first time since she was very young, she let me hold her and cuddle her for a whole hour. It was a Thanksgiving miracle! The highlight of my day, I’ll be honest…We got all dressed and drove down to South Jordan for our Thanksgiving Lunch at my aunt’s house. Sloan dined via activity center. Give her a roll and she’ll let you do pretty much anything…She didn’t care much for pumpkin pie – but she was all about that whipped cream!We had a relaxing dinner later than night at home, just the three of us. Homemade brownie sundaes and a movie is how we ended our Thanksgiving.

Friday morning we packed up our gear and drove up to Causey for the Hendo thanksgiving at Mark and Jeanene’s cabin. She had it all decorated for Christmas and it looked like a page out of Log and Timer Homes.

Before we all ate we took Sloan out for her first sledding experience. We didn’t know at the time, but the poor thing was coming down with a mean cold. So she wasn’t as enthusiastic as we thought she would be. In fact – she barely moved a single muscle the whole time. But we know, deep down inside, that she loved it.

After returning home we had a long, slow weekend. Sloan’s cold was in full force so we all hunkered down and took it easy. My friend Lindsey has me HOOKED on these protein balls – so I made a triple batch during a bunch of our down time.

Saturday Sloan wasn’t feeling like herself at all. She rarely laughed and smiled at all. The poor thing was a motionless blob the entire day. So, in an attempt to lift her spirits, we took her to Christmas In Color in Kearns. It is located right near the Olympic Oval and the best part – you don’t have to leave your warm car! We turned on the coordinating radio station and opened up the sun roofs. Sloan barely made a peep the entire show – but her eyes were as big as quarters. It was totally worth the drive to K-Town.

Our favorite part were the tunnels that were illuminated. It must have taken some serious time and coordination to put this show together.

Sunday I taught Gospel Doctrine and after church we made dinner and did little things around our house all day. Even though the smallest of our group was under the weather, it was the perfect lazy weekend after a whirlwind of family fun. Holidays with a tiny pinch of crazy – that’s the Henderhams for you!

Baby Birthday Week

By K + Z 0 Family, Personal, Sloan Permalink 0

I wanted to make Sloan’s birthday special. I contemplated filling her crib with balloons, but thought it would be more of Sloan’s style to fill it with her favorite thing in the entire world: red SOLO cups.

As soon as I heard her squawking in the morning we dumped the cups in her bed and turned on the light. Her face was priceless.
We let her have at her mini stack of birthday pancakes (a tradition I am going to start from her on out) and afterwards I set up her ball tent that her aunt Brittany and uncle Blake gave her. It kept her entertained for almost 2 straight hours.
As soon as Zach got home from work we drove down to Fashion Place Mall to do a little Christmas shopping. We went in and out of a few stores, Sloan wasn’t thrilled about it… But she was back to her spunky self as soon as she got some carbs in her. She loves Brio’s bread, apparently. That’s all me…

For Christmas Zach and I decided that we’d get Sloan a snowboard. She’ll be walking any time now, and Zach has every intention of starting her as soon as she can balance on her own. So I purchased a snow suit for her when she hits the slopes for her first time. She didn’t mind it one bit…
The snowboard will fit her perfect in a few more weeks. She thinks it is pretty amazing. Zach’s been practicing with her – she’s slowly getting used to the feel of it.

Later that week was Sloan’s big one year appointment. It was a sigh of relief to me, honestly. The girl has grown like crazy. She has skyrocketed to the 50th percentile for weight – 15 for height…but we’ll never be average there. My doctor gave me a pat on the back and told me that I was doing a good job. That, amongst other things, is why I adore him and will continue under his practice for eternity…

The poor thing got 6 vaccinations and a flu shot. She only cried for a moment – but wasn’t her sweet smiling self all day. So, to make her feel better, I put up our Christmas tree. Alright…I just couldn’t wait anymore. But really, it did lift her spirits. When I plugged them in and turned on the lights she gasped out loud. Like it was the greatest thing she had ever seen. Her and Zach stayed in front of the trees for a while – note her tiny little finger pointing up at them.

Saturday was perfect. Zach made German pancakes for Sloan [a first for her] and she loved them. She actually ate so much she wasn’t feeling too well after. Poor thing has the same reaction to butter as I do. Please bless she doesn’t have my milk issues…Zach watched Sloan while I went on a nice run outside. Possibly my last outdoor run of the year. I don’t do under 40 degrees.

Later that night we had date night. Zach took me to Caffe Molise and afterwards we went to the Jazz game.

I have to laugh – Zach asked me a few days earlier what I wanted to do for date night that weekend. I replied, “Anything but football.” Well…in his defense it wasn’t football, but Zach doesn’t know much else right now other than sports. Gotta love him. A highlight of my night was meeting “Baby Bear” or “Lil Bear”. I’ve been trying to get that guy to wave at me for 4 seasons now. We caught him in the tunnel on our way to the restroom. Night = made.

Sunday after church we visited the location for my brother’s new Fiiz he is opening up. It’s right smack dab in the middle of my home turf – Taylorsville! They leased an old restaurant – Tammy’s, right off the 4700 S. exit on 215. I can’t way to see how it all develops.

At the beginning of this week, for Family Night, we picked up Arella pizza for dinner. I try to feed Sloan super healthy and balanced meals…but the girl didn’t want her dinner. She wanted mine. I guess I can’t be so hypocritical. So I would give her tiny scraps of my pizza. She still wasn’t feelin’ it. She wanted a whole slice to herself. So I gave one to her. It rocked her world.

It’s hard not to love Arella’s margherita pizza. She definitely approved…

I’ve decided to give meal prep a try once more. Even though I was completely exhausted afterwards last time, I know deep down inside it was all worth it. I enlisted the help of a friend this time to do it with me. Zach left to go to Las Vegas for a Jet Convention so we committed to do it. That meant trips to several grocery stores – including Costco – where Sloan fell in love with the mondo bear. Too bad I’m not that nice of a mom, Sloan. I attempted tri tip roast all by myself. Usually Zach sears it on the grill and I finish it in the oven. Since he was gone and I don’t know how to work our grill, I did it on the stove top and then in our oven. I found a rub that I am kind of in love with – so I attempted it on the tri tip.

And for the first time in two years I DIDN’T over cook a giant mound of meat.

Wednesday we found out my uncle had suffered a heart attack. Sloan and I went down to IMC in West Jordan to visit him in the ICU. Turns out anyone under 14 isn’t actually allowed in the room – so Sloan hung out with my parents in the waiting room while I got to visit my Uncle Kenny. And she got to bust out her new hat – which she thinks is the bees knees.

This weekend is our 7th Wedding Anniversary. It’s bizarre to think that we’ve been married that long. Some days it seems like we’ve been married forever – other days I feel too young to have seven years under my belt. But most of the time I can’t even remember what life was like before Zach. I think that sums up how much he means to me and how much he has changed my life for the better. I know I’m pouring on the cheese – but 7 is my lucky number. And lucky is how I feel to have my little family. And without Zach, that wouldn’t be possible. I owe him everything.
