Tonight I started reading the Little House on The Prairie books to our kids. They were a gift to me for Christmas by my parents in 1988. Memories.

This may not have been the reason I marrid him, but the fact that he knew I had run out of creamer and then drove 30 min one way to get me some, makes it one of the many reasons I stay with him. I love you Jacob.

The kids just impressed the heck out of me. While I was mowing lawn, they cleaned my car out, vacuumed, straightened up the house, scrubbed down the inside and outside of the storm doors, washed the screens for the kitchen windows(so I could put them up) and sorted the laundry(so I can do it after they go to bed. All I had to do was give the instructions and they executed the mission. The tiny army of Nielsen was very productive tonight. So proud of my independent kiddos.

The kids "prepared" and sang me a song tonight. This is my favorite song from Frozen and apparently they have been practicing it. I love Bean's faces.

Its been a long busy/change filled year for theNielsen family. Jake got promoted at one job, then made a career switch in February and got promoted again in July. I had my first anniversary at my job(which I still love), we bought a new bike, took our first vacation ever, and on Wednesday we will celebrate 9 years of marriage. It wasnt the easiest year we have hadin our 14 years of partnership, but I have a feeling year 10 of marriage is going to be incredible.

I seriously have the best dad (Bob Zimmerman) in the whole world. I was getting frustrated with how my day was progressing but he helped me fix the issues I was having. I'm really blessed.

We celebrated Christmas early this year. On Christmas Eve we opened all our presents (except the ones Santa was bringing) because Jake had to go to work early.
