Life After Wedding

Well, life after our wedding has been fabulous for the Porters. Our home finally looks like a home (although i'm sure it will look even more like it once we get wedding pictures up. :-)) Here is a peek into what's been going on (starting with the latest and greatest and moving back on the timeline):My sister, Rebekah had her baby in the last couple of weeks!! James Terry Stay is our newest nephew and we are so excited for the new family addition. He is my sister's first child and he's DARLING!
We spent a couple of days back up at the cabin Memorial Day weekend with friends and family.


We lucked into some Salt Lake City Bee's baseball tickets due to Jayce and Josh being such great coaches for the Jr. Jazz bastketball team they coached last winter. Not only did we get to go to the game for free, but because the Bee's won, we got free scones from Sconecutter and free slushies from Sonic. Free=GREAT in our book.


Rebekah graduated from Bon Losse Academy just a week or two before having her little baby boy. She also spoke at graduation, I might add. :-)


I chopped 8 1/2 inches off of my hair. :-) I've been waiting for that for quite some time.


Jayce and I our first day back from our honeymoon-getting right down to the nitty gritty in our apartment. We had been scrubbing and painting all the day long and decided to top it all off with some Panda Express.


It had been a long day.



President Porter decided to join us up at the cabin!


At the hot springs on our honeymoon.


Jayce and I decided to relive our Narnia Engagement by watching Prince Caspian, which shows the beach where we got engaged in one of the scenes, while eating Tim Tams, one of our favorite sweets from New Zealand. (Thanks to Sister Porter for bringing them out to us!)



Jayce and I took the 4 wheelers out while up at the cabin.

Spencer's Birth Story

Image
After those last days of trying my hardest to push away the heightening anticipation of Spencer's arrival, he finally arrived two weeks ago today! Now those days seem so far away. It's amazing how quickly the tables turn. Your life seems to be building up to one particular moment for so long and then all of a sudden you're on the other side of that moment and it's like life has never been any different. Here is the last "belly picture" I took before his arrival and I only thought about it because my parents had requested one. The difference between the first and the fourth kid I guess. This was just a couple of days prior to his birthday. Well, for all of you birth story enthusiasts and for my posterity, here is the story if you so wish to read it. Fair warning: it's probably going to be long. I woke up on Monday morning with that "my due date was yesterday and now I'm just depressed that he's not here yet" feeling. I was a...

Welcome to the World Aiden Titus

Image
Something big arrived in the Porter Family early in the morning on September 29! He's big, he's blonde, and he has kisses all over his chunky cheeks...welcome to the world Aiden Titus Porter!  He was my second largest baby weighing in at 8 lb 10 oz, his abundance of blonde hair is reminiscent of Cameron, he's the 17th grandchild on the Porter side and the 14th on the Terry side and he came into the world fast and furious like his next-older brother, Spencer. He also completes the Porter basketball team. Summer Olympics 2032, here we come! Now where's a coach?    The Story The week of my due date my goal was just to stay relaxed and not get fixated on when Aiden might/might not arrive. The "Anything happening in there?!" questions are always well meant (and I totally ask them of other preggos too, it's just too exciting when someone is about to deliver!) but they make me feel like I should have control over something I do...

Mom's Gone

Image
My Mom died in the early hours of June 29 of complications from pneumonia. She was one month shy of her 67 th birthday. I’ll be processing everything from the morning of her death to the day she was buried for a long time. I’m so grateful that I was able to talk to my mom just two days before she passed. I had sat down at my computer after rocking Spencer to sleep and it was quiet time in the Porter house. My mind went blank as soon as I sat down and I relaxed, which is abnormal because I usually feel torn between doing ten things at once when I sit down to “get stuff done” during quiet time. So I thought, “Well, what should I do? It’s been a while since I talked to Mom...” When I asked her how she was she answered, “Well, actually not so good,” and she explained that she had just come home from the doctor’s office where she found out that she had pneumonia.   She filled me in on some details from her appointment and how she had been feeling recently. My mom has had and ...
