6 Month Anniversary!

Jayce and I have officially been married for half a year! Yesterday was our six month anniversary. Crazy how time flies, we could not believe it. Half a year seems like such an achievement but it flew by so stinking fast! I wonder what it will be like to reach 25 years, or 50, etc. Can't wait. :-)
Above is a picture of Jayce before dinner. The day did not turn out quite as I had anticipated, but come what may and love it, right? So, we ended up actually sitting down to eat around 9:45 p.m., pretty late for dinner, but I wanted to celebrate no matter what. Shout out to Carissa Rasmussen because I stole the recipe for the pasta dinner off of her blog. It's soooo good too. We even pulled out our honeymoon glasses to have some sparkling cider.

Isn't he just the cutest? I was so excited to give Jayce this gift, but the beautiful lettering I had in mind for "Love the people" turned out to kind of look like a 5th grader's project..so maybe one day I'll try to make it look a little more professional! I love this picture of Christ holding an African child and every time I see it I think of Jayce because of his mission to Ghana. So, it was the purchase I made at Deseret Book's lady's night. "Love the people" holds a lot of personal meaning for Jayce and I wanted it to be hanging up somewhere in our home as a good reminder for us.
I love Jayce Benson Porter! He is just the greatest thing in the world to me. We remarked last night that we just keep falling more and more in love with each other every day. I guess that means we are on the right track. :-)

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 ...
