So....I know I am a little behind....Sorry!

Life in the Thompson home has been crazy over the last few months. I was at dinner with my family a couple saturdays ago and my cousin Tara reminded me that my blog was in need of an update so....here we go
School has kept me more than busy but thats another story for right now I want to talk about the happiest most amazing thing that has happened in my life since having Emma and marrying Daniel. On October 18th we were sealed as a forver family in the Manti Temple...Daniel, Me, Abbe, and yes even Emma. People sometimes amaze you and show you a good side you weren't sure they had, thats what happened when Adam agreed to let Daniel and I have Emma sealed to us. It was the most amazing experice. Words can't desrcibe how full my life fills now. I am so greatful for the amazing husband that I have who has taken on all of the things that he did when he married me and who has helped me to be a better person. Daniel, I love you so much thanks for being you and being so amazing! We also celebrated our one year anniversary on Oct. 5. Daniel got us a room at the Anninversary in (Phantom of the Opera) Those of you who know me well know how much I love that opera. We also went to Market Street Grill with our friends Cortney and Bryce who celebrated their 1 year anniversary just two weeks before. They are such great friends.

The 24th of July

Our lives have been alittle crazy lately. I am moving to a new school this year and Daniel has just started a 2nd job. Between me trying to get moved into my new classroom and Daniels crazy hours at work, we haven't had much family time. So I have been looking forward to the 24th when Daniel and I would both be home to spend some much needed family time with Emma. We ended up having all of Bracken's kids because they both had to work and my parents are out of town. It was alot of fun! Emma loves her cousin, so she was glad to get to spend some time with them. We started out the day by going to Emma's swimming lessons. Bailey and Lainey stayed and helped Grandma Anderson water her flowers and Deegan came with Emma and I (Daniel was at his main job, he just got his second one off) Emma loves her swimming lessons, most of the time:) Today was a good day. Then we came home and I took all the kids to the park for a picnic while Daniel got alittle nap (he works really early hours) After we got home from the park and Daniel was up we took the kids swimming at the Brigham City pool for the afternoon. They had alot of fun. Emma had just learned at swimming lessons that she could float by herself with a life jacket, so thats all she wanted to do. Bracken's girls are little fish as well and they loved it. Deegan on the other hand was not a big fan. He clung to Daniel pretty much the entire time:) I am so lucky that Daniel is such a great guy. Secretly he loved it! After we were all water logged we came home and had snow cones and KFC Chicken. Then the kids helped Daniel feed his birds while they waited for their parents to come. Over all it was a pretty great day. I was just so glad to finally get to spend some time with Daniel. I miss getting to see him so much. I have taken our time together for granted. Now I realize how much every minute counts!
