Happy Two Years to Us!

Two years already! 

Thomas and I celebrated our two year anniversary this weekend! We were spoiled rotten by our good relative Lee. 

We stayed at the Embassy Suites in downtown Denver. It was so nice! There was a huge living room, bathroom, and bedroom. We had a mountain view that was breathtaking! We were surprised with yummy treats when we got there! (They SAVED me when this pregnant woman woke up at 4 am starving!)

We went to a cute little pizza place called Pizza Locale. It was very unique and delicious! I'd seen a special on the Food Network about them, so we had to try it! Yum!

Thomas and I explored the 16th Street Mall just a few blocks away. It was really cool to see all of the different people downtown! They had random pianos set up that people were playing. Pretty neat! We got some hot chocolate and explored the different shops. We still had some Christmas shopping to do! Whoops! :)

Saturday night, we went to Mt. Fuji Hibachi grill. I've only been to a hibachi grill once ten years ago, so I was excited to go back again! We had delicious soup, salad, fried rice, noodles, shrimp, steak, and veggies! I was so stuffed. Our cook put on a good show!

At the other tables, we noticed the cooks were squirting water into everyone's mouths. I thought it was so funny to watch, but definitely didn't want to participate and get all wet. When they offered it to Thomas, he accepted. It wasn't until the cook yelled "SAKEEEEE" did I realize it was ALCOHOL and not water! Thomas got some in his eyes, so that's how he figured that one out! We were dying of laughter and making jokes the entire night! It was hysterical! Memories were definitely made!

The hotel had a really nice breakfast buffet each morning. It was delicious!

The hotel also had a pool, but I'm rather large these days, so we didn't go swimming! Haha!

Thomas and I enjoyed our little tradition of going to a nice hotel for our anniversary. We decided that we'll try to do that each year. It'll be different with our little bub next year, but we'll make it work.

Thomas surprised me with a sweet ring! Both my boys are April babies, so the diamonds represent them. My birthstone is a garnet for January. I was so excited! I think it is absolutely gorgeous! 

It was wonderful to spend the weekend with my sweet boy!

















Happy two years to us! :)

Love,
The Grahams

"An Attitude of Gratitude"

-
Recently I have been dwelling on how blessed we are! Honestly, I could not have imagined the life of happiness and health that we have. Just read this!:  Thomas S. Monson: An Attitude of Gratitude Thomas and I are so blessed to have a warm house, food to eat, a loving ward family, a wonderful education and progressing jobs and much, much more! As silly as it sounds, today as I was putting groceries away, I was annoyed with how much food was in the freezer! I was having trouble fitting everything into it... So silly. And then it hit me: BE THANKFUL, DUMMY! Oops... Sometimes the logical side of me will step in a humble me. I promise I'm not crazy! It's important for us to look around us and recognize just how blessed we are. Through a few heartbreaking tragedies of these last few weeks, I have been humbled. My grandmother is slowly passing away and I am so thankful my sister is there to help! She is my hero. My grandparents (both in their nineties!) require assistance in ...

Elijah's SVT and Asthma Diagnosis

If you had told me that our goofy little boy, who was blowing up a balloon and watching it launch across the room, would have a cardiac episode just a few hours later, I wouldn't have believed you. In fact, I would have just told you that was impossible and would never happen. At least it could never happen to us. And then it did. On Sunday morning Elijah woke up with a little bit of a cough but was otherwise acting totally silly and normal. His breathing seemed a little labored but it was nothing too concerning. I was vigilant and a little concerned but decided to just keep a close eye on him. I gave him Claritin for his allergies and some cough medicine for his cough. He said he was feeling really hot and wanted to take off his shirt and asked me to rub his back. He started to doze off a bit and seemed only slightly uncomfortable.  That was when I noticed some pretty severe retraction in his belly, chest and the base of his throat. He was really struggling to breathe. What I thou...

The Bishop's Wife

-
In January Thomas was called to serve as the bishop of our local congregation. He is a full time volunteer for the members of our local ward family. He will serve in this position for the next 5 to 7 years. When he was asked to come in for a meeting with one of our local leaders, they made sure I was able to attend. We suspected he would be asked to be the bishop but it wasn't a sure thing. I kind of knew it was coming and Thomas was in slight denial. 😏 They pulled me in first and asked me a few questions about Thomas. I was sooooo tempted to tell them he was a very busy man and that I never ever saw him, but I held my tongue. (Being the bishop can require a lot of time). I know they knew he was an amazing man, but they definitely needed to hear it from me that he was as golden as he seemed. And he really is as golden as they get. 😏 They pulled Thomas in for a few minutes for a one on one. Then they called us both in. I was so anxious at this point because I still wasn't cert...
