Temple Night

We finally made it to the temple.  It's been a little bit longer than we like, but we were finally able to go on Friday.  We went with Michelle & Trevor, always a treat, and went out to "Goodwood" afterwards.  It was delicious as always.  

My new favorite snack

CUTIES!  These things are amazing!!  I fall in love with them every year around this time.

Being a mom is physically exhausting

I've been home (in CA) now for one week, and am physically EXHAUSTED.  I have never felt like this before.  I get to 12 o'clock and I feel like I can't go on anymore. I put the kids down by 7 and want to crash at 7:30...it's terrible.  Mom's really are super-women, especially moms with twins.  Holy cow, twins are draining.  They suck all the energy right out from you.  

However, even though I am exhausted (from driving to Las Flores elementary/middle school at least 4 or 5 times a day & taking care of the twins) and physically drained, I can't imagine anything I would rather be doing for the rest of my life.  I can't wait to be a mom... I mean, I can wait a good 5 years, but when the time is right, it's going to be great and so much fun.  I'll probably be tired 24/7 and finally understand why my parents never wanted to stay up past 8 o'clock, but it'll be wonderful. Being a mom is totally my thing.  I love being the chauffeur, the nanny, and the housekeeper.  Mind you, we've had families in the ward bringing us dinner almost every night so I haven't experienced everything having to do with being a mom, but what I have experienced I am excited for in the future.  

I would MUCH rather be at home all day taking care of kids than be off at work all day.  I guess that's the wonderful thing about being married.  Men do much better at work and women are much better nurturers.  I'm extremely grateful I married a wonderful man who is going to work so I can stay home with the babes.  I know our children will benefit from it and it truly is an amazing blessing.  Props to the single moms out there who are doing it all.  I really have SO much respect for those women.  Anyway, only 3 more days and I get to see my wonderful, handsome, smart, romantic husband... I can't wait!  (I wish he was still here with me!) 

Who to Trust?

Yesterday, while at work (3-7 pm & 9 pm-2 am), I found a little something while on my break, or to phrase it better, I found something missing.  I got my purse and opened my wallet and noticed $25 was missing!  That's right, there's a thief at my work.  I was super disappointed and hope that person feels terrible for taking my money.  Anyway, I went in and left a note at work today and it said...

Fellow Employees,

I recently found $25 missing from my wallet.  Whoever you are that did this, you're a real gem.

Merry Christmas, One Unhappy Employee, Tahnee

It makes me so mad that I can't even trust the people that I work with and am with so much. Hopefully this person feels terrible for committing this crime.  I know my conscious would be going nuts if I did something like this.   

I'm sick therefore I'm going to blog...

This last week Tyler, Tiersha, Josh, and I went to CA for Thanksgiving. It was so nice to get out of Utah right as it got freezing and be in sunny CA. It was 65 or 70 degrees the whole time we were there, which in Tyler's opinion is the perfect temperature. We went to the beach, Disneyland, had dinner at my Uncle Jim's place (the food was fabulous), did some black Friday shopping (pretty much all day), hosted Melissa's baby shower, went to my Alumni basketball game, and finally ended the week with my dad's great tri-tip. This year was my first time going black Friday shopping and Tiersha and I were up at 4:30 and at the mall by 4:45. We hit the mall, Target and went back to both of those places a couple of times throughout the day. The Alumni game, on Saturday, was quite the game. Lets just say that when you haven't played basketball in 8 months and haven't worked out regularly since the beginning of the semester, playing in a 32 minute basketball can be TOUGH. We started off great and were actually only down by 2 (I think) at the half, but from there it all went downhill. We ended up losing by 20 points, which I felt was a pretty good reflection of how good we actually are. Anyway, the week was great and we drove home Sunday at 5:30 am, hitting the snow storm in Cedar City. We didn't end up getting home until 8:00 pm, making the trip 13 1/2 hours long...well, at least we made it home safely. All in all, it was a fun week, and Tyler and I always enjoy seeing the little ones back home. Lillee and William are at such a fun age, Gracee and Gregory are finally at the age where you can do fun things with them, and Annie's always a hoot being 13 and all. Now back to school and time to finish the mounds of homework I didn't do over the break.

       We switched Lillee and William's outfits to see if my mom would notice...she did :)
