Here is a low down of the past nine years.
99-00 I moved to Orem the day after graduation. I got a job managing my own Subway restaurant. I managed it for 4 years. I met the love of my life and got engaged to be married.
01 I was married in the LDS Manti Temple. I continued to manage Subway.
02 We had our first child. A beautiful girl that we named Kialey Ann Smith.
03-04 My husband was layed off from his job and work was scarce. We weighed all our options and decided the USAF was the best choice for our family. Then I could be the stay at home mom I wanted to be. My husband left in November to go to boot camp and tech school which was a long 4 months without him. When he got back they moved us to Little Rock AFB in Arkansas. A month later I had our first boy. We named him Justice Jordan Smith. Only six months later I got the worst phone call of my life. My brother Troy called to tell me that my parents had been killed in a car accident. My world felt like it was going to fall apart but I have a great husband that supported me through it. We flew to UT to plan and attend the funeral. While there we got the news that we were expecting baby #3.
05-06 We had our second girl. Addison Lynn Smith. Life was just busy chasing the kids. Josh continued to move up in rank in the USAF.
07 We found out we were moving to New Mexico as well as pregnant with baby #4. I spent the summer packing and being pregnant. We took a road trip while moving. We dropped all our stuff off in new Mexico then took a trip to UT and MT to see family. We got back to New Mexico and moved into the house. Only two weeks later baby four arrived . It was a crazy delivery. After only 1 hour of contractions he was coming out. We had to call 911 and the paramedics got there just in time to catch him. He was born on the bathroom floor of the new house! The kids were in the living room. It was crazy!! We named this little boy Jett Montana Smith.
08 Not too exciting. We took a trip to CT,NY,RI and MA to visit my husband's mission. We also took a trip over to Palmyra and had a great time. When we got back the USAF informed Josh that in three days he would be leaving to WA to do survival training for a month. I decided that since he was going to be gone I would take the kids to UT and MT to see family. I drove four kids by myself 1300 miles to see family. We also drove over to WA to see Josh for a week end while he was between trainings. I did a total of 4000 miles of travel with the kids for two months. It was a long summer but great too.
09 Has already been an eventful year. We have had surgery on the three year old Addy as well as my husband having arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder putting him out of work for a month. Then I just had two root canals and that in and of itself has felt like surgery. We are hoping the rest of the year looks better!
I look forward to coming to the reunion and seeing everyone.
