So Kendall has Sunday and Monday off. Yes! I LOVE his days off. He gets to spend time with Tyler and more importantly, we get time together. It's so strange being 6.5yrs into our marriage and with a 4.5yr old and it's like we are grown ups now. Things revolve around paying bills, grocery shopping, dr appts (ok, well, that isn't necessarily typical, but for our family it's completely normal to spend more time with Tyler's doctors than family), work, going to bed early, making healthy meals, organizing, scheduling things, fulfilling church callings, getting Tyler to school, etc etc etc. When you look at it, 6.5yrs of an eternal marriage isn't that far in but it feels like forever. It looks like we just got married yesterday, but it feels like we got married an eternity ago and then some. It's amazing how we function in our marital and adult duties without blinking an eye. It's no longer something we have to become accustomed to, you just do it. If Kendall turns left, I know when and how he will do it and am right there with him every step. It's just odd how in sync you can get. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying the spark and love is out of our marriage, it's definitely not, it's just we seemed to have found our rhythm and it works well. Overall, it just seems like life has always been this way. I can't imagine it any other way.
Wow, I am on a tangent there. Back to Kendall and work. He has some training this week so we will get to see more of him this week. He normally works graveyard shift which means he works while we sleep, and sleeps while we function during the day. The schedule works for our family in that I am able to take Tyler to and from school and to the dr in an emergency. But it sucks because trying to keep a 4yr old quiet is not easy, especially Tyler. He has been vocal since day 1. And it sucks because we don't get to see that much of Kendall. But he does what is best for his family and we can't ask for more. So the next couple days he will be working during the day instead of at night and going to bed with me (ahhhh! I miss sleeping next to him. The first month or so, it was so hard adjusting to sleeping without him). So we will have a more normal schedule and that's great!
I have choir practice again tomorrow night. I LOVE choir! Just love it! I love seeing sheet music again! I need to start writing my own music again, but it's hard when you don't have a piano. So I am really excited to go back to practice again tomorrow night. Tonight me and my sister in law practiced after dinner. I love having someone coming with me.
Tomorrow, Tyler's new respite provider may start. We absolutely love her! She wants to help us with fundraising for Tyler, she hasn't even started working for us yet! She also got Tyler a valentine card, how sweet! She is going to be great for him and is excited! We are excited too! I think she will be good for him and for us. I can't wait to see her watch him :)
