Looking Back

So even though it is almost two months late, I just finished Michael's 'First Year' book. As I put all of the photos in I couldn't help but think back to everything. This year really has been crazy for this little guy! In all honesty he isn't going to remember more than half of it (if at all), but I will! This year went from living in Logan, Utah and going to daycare with other babies to staying at home with mom or dad in Hilo, Hawaii. We went on a handful of trips. First we hiked up Mt. Timpanogos to the caves. Then we went to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving with the Schiffman family. And finally we flew to our new home in Hawaii. As a mother, I'm glad I had so many people that supported me through all of this! (hiking up to caves with a nursing baby is crazy). I also don't know what I'd do without Tyler there to keep me somewhat sane. This month marks out two year anniversary. I know, for a lot of you that is going to seem pretty insane. A one year old already! Yes.. really. But it hasn't been the easiest two years either. I guess I shouldn't have expected much less. It is hard moving somewhere when it is just two people, not to mention a young family where both of you are still in school. If we didn't have the support of friends and family I don't know where we'd be right now. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if we'd waited until one of us had graduated school. Would things be at least a little easier? Would we be in Hawaii? Then I realize that if we had waited, we wouldn't have our amazing little boy. I think I would be lost without this little man!
