Busy Bees

Cory and I have been super busy lately. We are quickly approaching finals and all that entails. Which is a lot. Not only do we have to make sure to study, write the papers, maybe blow a kiss to each other, and make it to the tests on time, but there is also the issue of our work schedules! Luckily my job is on campus and my boss is very good about flexibility. But it is still a hassle to try and work with my coworkers and figure out when we can be in the office and when we can't. {Sigh} Life. It's crazy.
We've also been struggling to recover from our weekend adventure in Salt Lake. It all started Saturday night at around midnight (so I guess Sunday morning) when my dad called to tell us that Brooke (my sister)'s water broke and she was headed to the hospital. We decided that it would be good to go there to support her and given that it was General Conference and we didn't have to teach Sunday School, we left! We drove through a crazy snow storm to get there and finally managed to arrive at her room safely and with Wendy's in hand (midnight meal snack!) We were up until 5 am holding her hand, helping her breathe, making her laugh, playing with hospital equipment, and getting her through the epidural. It was a rough night for the two of us. I'm sure Brooke's was great. We finally found a little moment to grab the hospital couch cushion that is made for one person, lay it in the corner, and pass out for a very uncomfortable sleep. We woke up at ten and got back to work. My mom also flew in and took over our jobs, so we were able to grab a few z's here and there. Almost 7 hours later, Kaden Connor Mishler was born!

 He is a cute little baby and his big brother is going to love him.  So with all that went on, we have had a very difficult time feeling rested and energized this week.

Still so tired. 

We were able to visit with my mom and Brooke last night too and enjoyed some very delicious frozen yogurt. I'm almost 100% positive that Tyler was the one who ate most of everyone's. It was fun to visit and I'll be sad when she has to go back home, because, well, my mom is better than yours.

I let Tyler take pictures with my camera and he took about 100. This one actually turned out pretty cute!

Also! Cory got a promotion!

 He is now a personal banker and will start as soon as they can replace him. To honor his achievements,  I surprised him with a little "Congrats" balloon attached to a bag of Reeses eggs. I could have stopped there and I'm sure he would have been more than happy, but I decided to make him some homemade lettuce wraps and they turned out to be delicious!  I will definitely be making them again. So not only did they taste delicious, but they somehow inspired Cory to take me out shopping for my birthday (we moved it to later because I was so sick)!

Love.It was awesome. So yes, I will be making that magic recipe a lot! :) Anyway, I'm quite proud of that husband of mine and I can't wait to see how far he goes in life.
