to you...

circa 2008

We were so cheesy lovey this past weekend, you and I, but I loved every minute of it.
You told me I was kissing you too much. I told you oh well.
You watched both kids for 3 hours so I could go to the temple alone.
You kissed my neck and said it smelt like baby acid.
You told me that Warner's little snowsuit was a good buy. That.made.my.day. Seriously. You approving something that I bought means I don't have to feel guilty about the money spent.
You told me I was pretty more than once... or maybe you told my watch it was pretty more than once ;)

Remember last week when I thought I had cancer at 11pm at night and started crying? It was so real to me at that moment. I seriously felt like my life was flashing before my eyes. I told you I knew it. I knew cancer was going to get me someday and that's why I was keeping this blog, why I was a photo-aholic, avid journalist, and love-obsessive mother and wife so that my legacy would live on. And you just laughed at me and said I always jump to the worst possible conclusions. Thanks for loving my quirky self.

  2. Sounds like you've got a keeper. :) Love that he watched the kids while you went to the temple! We swapped watching the kids so we could go to the temple on Adam's day off a couple weeks ago...I think it needs to happen more often, it's such a boost to my spirit!

    And do share a picture of this pretty watch you mentioned. :) Even though I'm sure he was calling you pretty! ;)

  4. Whenever I lay in bed too long trying to get to sleep, I always convince myself that I'm going to die soon. :)

  5. awe Kendra! I love you guys, I love your marriage and how you perfectly are made for eachother. I am so sorry you had those scary thoughts the other day ( and I've been slammed with my shop I didn't get a chance to read about it) When I am overly tired with Judah I get scary thoughts like that sometimes. Even made my Dr promise me last week that I dont have cancer. Praying for you sweet friend

  6. I have those scary thoughts too. Being so terrified of not being around to watch my kids grow. It must just be common mommy fear. Thank goodness for husbands who put up with our craziness!

  7. love this...I had one of those "I'm going to die" moments not long after Elyse was born, I'm going to blame the hormones but it was SO real at the moment!

  9. Oh my goodness, I'm crazy with my shutterfly books and video uploads for the same reason! Sometimes I get convinced that I must prepare my legacy. Maybe I've read Miss Rumphius to Annaleigh too many times. :) So glad that you have such a great partner in life!

  11. Wow, what is wrong with us women, we are all worried about cancer! I can't say I'm any different, and then I take it a step further and tell my husband that if I don't have cancer I'm certainly going to get it because I'm so worried about it....he just shakes his head and looks at me with no words.

    I love, love, love this picture of you both. So awesome!!!!! So sweet, this post...take great care Kendra,

  13. I think as mother's we always think of the worst case scenario, so we can prepare ourselves. But sometimes it does seem quirky.

    Cute picture. Happy thanksgiving!

  14. I am so glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way! That is one of the reasons I am such an avid document-er, because my biggest fear is that one day I'll be gone and my kiddo won't remember me. It's strange that those fears seem to surface with such realistic quality sometimes.

  15. This is ADORABLE! There is no such thing as too many kisses in a marriage :)
