Happy Mother's Day

Our Happy Mother's Day Picture

Happy Mother's Day!  It's a great day to say thanks to our mom's.  :-)  Reed and I had a great time yesterday making Mother's Day cards....we took a tripod to the park and tried to get a good picture of us for the cards.  My favorite picture was when I was testing the height, lighting and positioning and snapped a picture of Reed where he looks thoroughly unamused.  Truly, we were having a good time.  haha  So then we went home and Reed used his mad computer skills to make some super cute cards. 

Reed is not amused

Funny story:  Reed strongly dislikes it when people send him pictures that have been copied and pasted into a Microsoft Word...it decreases the quality of the image and is just so much more work than attaching a jpeg.  Anyway, so while he was fiddling with fonts and colors for the cards, etc. I decided to play a little joke on him.  I copied and pasted his unamused picture into Microsoft Word and sent it to his email box. He knew something was up when I started giggling like a dork as he opened his message.  He feigned outrage but we got a good laugh out of it.

Happy Anniversary

The biggest and most bestest day of this week was on May 5th....we celebrated our THIRD anniversary!  I can't believe how fast these first few years have flown!  I spent most of the day at work where my sweet co-workers put up with me talking about the day Reed and I got married.  Then I headed home to spend time with my poor, sick husband.  (He had a yucky head cold going on).  We decided to go see Avengers: Age of Ultron.  It was an alright movie but we were pretty peeved that the writers chose to have Captain America swear in the end.  What?!  Then we headed home and exchanged our anniversary letters.  Every year we write letters to each other...it's probably my favorite of our many traditions.  It was a perfect day and a great start to our fourth year. I really am so fortunate that Heavenly Father led us to each other.  Reed is my perfect match and I love him. 

On Thursday we took the chance to enjoy a performance of dramatic theatre.  :-)  Our niece was part of a play called 'The Mischievous Bugs' with her 2nd grade class.  She got to be a ladybug who lost her black spots.  It was pretty cute and quite well done.  All the kids had their lines and songs memorized and the little narrator was cute as a button!  Then the girls took us to their classrooms to show us their desks and introduce us to their teachers.  They go to a very nice little school and it was fun to see another piece of their lives.  Afterwards we headed to Ricardo's to celebrate our niece's performance.  Which leads me to another funny story...

Funny Story:  In the restaurant parking lot, we saw a police car and two police motorcycles.  Since we had two of our nieces with us, we made sure to point out the police car to them and talk about how police are there to protect us and we will not be in trouble if we follow the law.  At that point, the trooper came out of the restaurant and Reed and I smiled and waved at him like we were so excited to see him.  Then we realized the girls weren't waving also so we awkwardly stopped waving.  I think the trooper understood what we were doing because then he smiled and waved at the our nieces and they were excited about that.  haha


Saturday was temple day!  We went for the 10:30 session but then it turned out to be super full and there wasn't any room for us!  Sad day.  But then they opened up another session for us!  Yay!  I met a super nice woman in the locker room and she loved my white dress.  Her comment made me remember that I married Reed in that dress and those memories warmed my heart.  It's exciting to be able to wear my wedding dress every time I go to the temple. 

Time for me to go get ready for church but we love you all and hope you have a fabulous week!

Love, The Jacobsens
