Love & Stuff.

Life never slows down!

I'm sure you all know that though.

This is what's been going on with the Hauck's...

 We are in LOVE with Maze and take way too many pictures of him haha :)

 I've had LOTS of 4:00 am (yes I meant to put the "am" there) practices in preparation for the 4 benefit concerts we've had and are going to be having, so after I like to shower and sit and watch the sun rise, one of God's beautiful gifts to us!

Oh an our date nights usually consist of TJ Maxx, this time we had TOO much fun with the magnifying glass. Haha, I love my relationship with my husband.

 I may have dressed up a little for Valentines day! But who doesn't love a holiday dedicated to LOVE?

 I got Jeff a face razor for Valentines Day but one gift never seems like enough so I made him a fruit bouquet, which he loved! His is the blue ribbon one and I made the other one for my dad to give to my mom! I am NO professional and the arranging is actually A LOT harder then you think, but for the first time not too bad right???

 Valentines day evening Jeff and Andy planned a scavenger hunt filled with all kinds of tasks to complete before moving on. This is them all excited before we started! It was adorable to see them so excited!!!

 Us ladies ready for the adventure they had planned!

 First clue led us to a park where we got dizzy and were forced to change into matching "jail bird" leggings. (Jeff's words, not mine!)
Then we went to the studio where we had to do some serious interpretive dancing and that's where we got some new kicks! Matching of course.

 

 After the studio we were sent searching for our next destination, which turned out to be town square. There we had to paint each others nails an unflattering gold color (which we never have our nails painted). Oh, an we got to add the black hooker shorts to our outfits haha.
After the park we went to Dixie rock where we sang a BEAUTIFUL love song to our loves and that's when we picked up the gorgeous blue shirt.
Then it was off to the mall to get our bling shined and that's where we got our second bling (ring pops).

 After all the craziness we got to eat Durangos at a park and have some nice conversation! :) After dinner we got the headbands and sunglasses then headed to Yogurtland where we enjoyed our delicious yogurt with lots of stares!
It was a fun and crazy Valentines Day, one that I will surely not forget! Thanks babe for all the thought and planning you put into the day of LOVE! I love you!

Cleansed through blood.

WARNING: Women Stuff Again.

Good news everyone...I started my period!

I'm normal again!!! (In that aspect at least.)

Confession: I have been sneaking some of this...

And wishing for these...

:)

This period has definitely been one to remember after 9 1/2 months going without.

After it started I felt relief and clean, as weird as that sounds.

This feeling made me think of another way that we are all cleansed through blood...the atonement of Jesus Christ!

I then thought, "how amazing that women have a period" a monthly reminder of the beautiful gift of life (and the creation of life) possible after the cleansing of blood.

Our Savior cleanses us, renews us and provides the possibility of a fresh start.

One that I needed physically, and one that I need daily.

Simply put, I am grateful.

 I guess you could say this last period was a sacred event that helped to open my eyes to the beauty of this life and a woman's body and how I am cleansed through blood in more than one way.

My monthly cycle will now and forever be a physical reminder of my need of the atonement!

Strange thoughts, but I hope it makes sense, cause it sure does to me! Have a wonderful day! :)
