SPRING, IT'S OK TO COME OUT NOW

 Jacob has been sick for 3 days now and he hasn't left the house. I've left a couple times to get food and medicine, Gym, walked the dog, Sugar & Cloth Studio Launch Party and even went to my cousins house for the Finale of Bachelor but other than that I have been playing nurse (it's never been my strong suit but I'm trying my best). Yesterday I was going to take Jacob to the doctor but we decided to just pump him full of water, vitamins, oils and R&R. He started to get cabin fever so we made a trip to Rockin' Robin for guitar strings and the grocery store for some essentials. Being sick has forced us to slow down and actually get sleep, thank God the weather has been awful or else that would be just cruel timing. The quality time together has been great, I just wish he was back to feeling 100 %.

Thanks for all the Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Go recommendations. These are the shows I currently watch // Secrets and Lies, The Voice, Empire, Nashville, How to Get Away with Murder, Law and Order SVU, Girls.
Jacob watches // Grim, Blacklist, The Flash, Justified, and whatever I'm watching.

Loved // The Killing, The Fall, The Bridge, Bates Motel, True Detective, Game Of Thrones, Brothers and Sisters, Parenthood, Felicity, Friends, Roswell

Guilty Pleasure /// The Bachelor or Bachelor Pad...the crazy girls are my favorite. You know you watch it too... except Jacob he just mumbles and puts his two cents in from the other room.

We tried but didn't click with // House of Cards, Mad Men, and many shows that try to be funny. Don't get me wrong I laugh easily in real life...it's just I don't like when shows try and force it on me. What are your favorite shows?

THE KIDS ARE HERE

The next day we spotted the van coming in and within seconds The Bacquet kids exploded out of the van and were ready to play, we were ready to play! It was such a great camping trip. I love the feeling of waking up outside, spending the entire day playing outside, and then going to bed outside. It's times like these you realize we all have way too much stuff. We get stuck inside way too often. We don't go camping enough.

CAMPING WITH THE BIG KIDS

Can you believe this was the first time that the four of us hung out alone together without the Bacquet kids? We totally love hanging out with the whole family but this time Dan and Kassi wanted some grown up quality time with us. These two have been such a blessing in our lives especially in our marriage. They have seen us go through the mud and they have been there with open arms and just loved us, flaws and all. Majority of the time we are laughing, cracking jokes, and chasing the kids around but the beginning of 2014 was awful. Jacob and I went through the hardest time of our life and The Bacquets were huge prayer warriors in our life, they were some of our biggest advocates, and two of the most loving, selfless friends we have. This trip was all about love and celebration so we just let the good times roll.  We surfed, I'm sorry there are no photos of us actually surfing, I just really wanted to enjoy the first time I took my new board out and live in the moment. We grubbed out like kings and queens, we laughed, we prayed, and we just enjoyed being together again in nature.

I promised Dan and Kassi I wouldn't name this beach, I'm so sorry. Kassi grew up here and this is one of their families favorite surf spots, we feel super honored that they shared a place so special to them. You have no idea how much this family means to us, I hope you who are reading this have friends in your life as loving and kind as The Bacquets.
