Our Family trip to Lake Powell

Like I had mentioned in my last post, we just got back from our trip to Lake Powell and it was TRULY PERFECT! I have grown up visiting Lake Powell with my family almost every year since I was around the age of 8. My favorite memories all take place at this wonderful spot and I am so grateful Taylor and I could get away for a week to stay with my 9 nieces and nephews, their parents, and my mom and dad. 
It was awesome for ht both of us to get away from work and school and really great to be around my family again for the first time since we were married! We mostly spent our time playing with my nieces and nephews, Ill be honest, they're probably my favorite thing about my family! They're so fun and always down to play with me! We brought glow sticks, some makeup, and other little fun things to keep them entertained and it was just awesome.

Taylor was SUCH a huge help the entire trip. He was always willing to do the dirty work and I appreciated his efforts so much. He was AWESOME with the kids and they loved being around him. He is so good too me. He really is. I never want to take advantage of his kindness and I want to show my own appreciation and love through my actions and my words. There was one day where I was being ridiculous (happens more often than I would like to admit), and I got a little upset. He listened to me and just told me he wanted to be better. I am so grateful for him. Honestly, he treats me the way I hope my future little girls will be treated my their future husbands. I am so thankful for my family and so thankful that Taylor and I can learn from the different parenting styles and choose to live our lives the way we feel we should! I feel like we are working hard! Trying to stick to our financial goals and trying to be happy and active in the gospel at the same time! I am sure grateful for my life. Even though sometimes Im a total idiot and don't always show that gratitude. I am grateful that each new day is a brand new start!
