20 Months of Awesome:)

tHe blOg

So I recently had the chance to become a stay at home mom:), mostly. So I thought it might be fun to start a blog so that friends and family could see the fun things that my tiny family does. Plus I really miss writing, so I thought this would be a good way to get my foot slowly back into that.

20 Months ago, I met my best friend. Ry had recently gotten a job at Olive Garden and had started telling me about this guy there that I needed to date. I was a little weirded out by that but I eventually started working there and turns out this guy was my trainer:D. I was immediately smitten with him but I was too shy to really make a move. After my week of training Ry stole my phone and added Curtis on my facebook account. When I got off of work that night, December 18th, He started a conversation with me but I couldn't talk to him. So my brother-in-law Josh flirted with him for about an hour and then invited him over to watch Lord of the Rings. We stayed up all night talking and hit it off from there:) In the following year and a half we were married, had a baby, and moved 6 times. Curtis trained and became a manager at Olive Garden and after Finn was born, in February, I started working at East Idaho Credit Union. Curtis had knee surgery in May and was home until the beginning of August. Finn stayed with my mom and Curtis while I worked, but I had a hard time being away from her. She has grown so much in the last 7 months and she is the best little girl:) She is so happy and active, it's amazing to watch the changes she is going through. I was able to quit my job and will start working at a pre-school. Which is something I'll love:) Curtis is going back to school to get a degree in Electrical Engineering and so we're going into new territory. We are both really excited and can't wait for the future:)

Almost all pictures on here were taken by my sister-in-law Ruth Mecham of Ruth Mecham Photography:)

Our engagement pictures were done the morning of our wedding :) We were only engaged for two weeks because Curtis had to be in Boise a week after we were married.
I could not be more happy with him:)

My husband is 6'7" and it's the best. He never played basketball and tall jokes really aren't funny, haha:)
Finnley Alisse Sorensen was born on December 22, 2013. So she got to have a little Christmas bow. Ruth was able to snap this picture while we were in the hospital.

This was the beginning of January. Over the years we have all come to appreciate the amazing photographer, Ruth, in our family.




 
Finnley loves everything bright and happy!! She really lights up the day!
Finnley was blessed on March 30. Her aunt S-bomb made her headband and necklace special for her:) AND we got to visit with almost all of Curtis' family, which was super fun because we don't get to get together much:)




Finnley was the 3rd of 4 babies to be born in our family in 8 months. Currently she is the largest of the 4. Her daddy will proudly tell you that she is in the 99.52% for her height and 95th for her weight. She definitely gets that all from Curtis. 

Finn and her besties, Macy Marie Wells and Dempsey Rose Richins.
