A little bit about Nic....

Ok so Nic is coming home in less than a month and I couldn't be more excited! We have been worried about if he will have work when he gets home and have prayed that if it is right for him to come home that he would have work. We feel so blessed that it appears to be lining up perfectly for him with work. To us it is just a confirmation of the answer we received to have him come home. Although I have been doing a lot of complaining about dieting (lol) I can't complain about my life. There is nothing missing right now from our lives. We feel so extremely grateful to have our kids and our health and strength. And with these blessings we can now add to the list being together. Now that his time in Iraq is coming to an end here are a few pictures of a baptism Nic and his brother were lucky enough to be a part of. If I understand it correctly it is the first baptism in Babylon since the priesthood keys have been restored there. It was Nic's first baptism so I'm excited that he had that opportunity.

So now I want to take a moment to let you all know how wonderful Nic is. :) First of all I am so blessed to have a husband who would make such a huge sacrifice to provide for our family. I know it has killed him to be away from the kids. He is such an amazing dad! I LOVE this man! We have only gotten closer with this struggle of having him away. I feel so lucky to truly be married to my best friend and to be compatible in so many ways. We have so much fun together! I love that I can be 100% my annoying and goofy self with him. I love that on the other hand we can have really deep, amazing conversations. I feel like a giddy 15 yr. old girl when he looks at me after he hasn't seen me in a while. It's like I'm the most beautiful woman in the world (which I'm definitely not). I know everyone probably wants to barf right now but seriously I get the butterflies every time I think about spending the rest of my life with him. We're not perfect but we're perfect for each other and that is honestly how I feel. Less than a month, YA BABY! Now come home safe!
