Jarom's Bday Party

Our new matress arrived!!!! KING!


We also got a moveable platform bed!



We found a king sized bedroom set from an LDS couple that was so beautiful. 


The bed is so much better than the mattress we wore out! Haha. This one is so nice! We were trying to decide between this and the purple matress. This mattress is a hybrid. 
 

Grandpa Geddie Visits/Buying Grandma Smith a New Bed!



The bed mom ended up picking, as well as us. I felt she desperately needed this. Her mattress is super old and has been busted for years. She struggles with so much pain and sleeping at night. I felt like this was an absolute need for her. She of course was apprehensive about us buying her this. Brigham and Aimee want to help out with the bed. 




His dad got him a 22 gun with Scout engravings on it. 

Mom hugging Geoffrey, thanking him for the bed we bought her. She was overwhelmed with the purchase. We got her a moveable platform bed that she got to try out laying on. 

Introduced Geoffrey and his dad to Clarks BBQ, they loved it



Father's Blessings for the new year!







We are waiting for the day Clavin passes Greggie...lol Greggie is NOT excited about that.

What a fun weekend. Grandpa Geddie and Uncle Daniel came up to visit for a day. Grandpa Geddie brought me a present for my birthday. It was a .22 rifle with the scout signs engraved on it. It is so cool! I would have never guessed it as a present. Now I just need to get a shadow box to put it in. Mommy showed us a BBQ place that tasted fantastic. Unfortunately, Greggie, Calvin and Perry were at the other house so they missed the visit. While Grandpa watched the young ones, Mommy took Grandma Smith to look at beds. We ended up buying her a bed as well as buying ourselves a bed. We are so excited! I am grateful the Lord has provided the means for us to take care of our needs as well as those of others. Grandma Smith's bed was very old and no longer comfortable. We wanted to make sure she had a nice place to rest and get sleep each night. I also had the chance to give each of the boys a Father's blessing as the new school year is starting. That was really nice. I am grateful for the power of the Priesthood and that the Lord has granted us the ability to use it. I am grateful for the Gospel and know it continues to bless us daily. 
 

Grandma Took us To Preston Trail Farms









 

Geoffrey's 29th Birthday!!



























 I was going to just invite my mom but Geoffrey does like family and the company, so I invited the family. We did zoom with his family and they all sang with us. I made him a homemade oreo cake with buttercream frosting which he loved. The cake was gone by the end of the night. We watched the slideshow I made for him and he opened presents. Those who could stay stayed for a game. He really enjoyed that. 

I noticed I feel more anxious in social gatherings than before. I think it is because I haven't been as exposed to those situations as much for months due to covid, so I am out of practice. I still have the skills, but my insides are more anxious than before. 

Geoffrey is such an amazing man. I am SO thankful I decided to marry him. It was not an easy decision for me. I was scared due to my past. He is much better than I could have imagined. We aren't perfect and we have our moments of pride, insecurity, and baggage we bring to the table, but we have really grown together and he takes good care of me. I hope I do the same for him. He is such a blessing! 

It is interesting, I remember in the beginning months of our relationship, I was so detached I thought, what if something happened to him and he died. I was under the attitude of, well, I guess back to ground zero. But now I am so attached I would not be able to stand it if something happened to him. That is a scary thing! lol. I am SOO thankful for his kind loving heart.
