I knew he would, he is amazing but last night I was very frustrated with it all. So this afternoon McKenna had a doctor appointment and here is how it went:
She is 20 lbs. 13 oz. Yes still small but gaining weight! YAY! She is 29 and 1/4 inches long. She got her shot and she did great. She came home and is napping which is needed! I have a job interview tonight and tomorrow with a day care. I hope something comes from one of them. I would prefer the family but a day care wouldn't be bad either. We will see, wish me luck!

Just in Case You Ever Wonder
Just In Case You Ever Wonder
Max Lucado
Long, long ago God made a decision-a very important decision...one that I'm really glad He made. He made the decision to make you. The same hands that made the stars made you. The same hands that made canyons made you. The same hands that made trees and the moon and the sun made you. That's why you are so special. God made you. He made you in a very special way. He made your eyes so they would twinkle. He made your mouth so you could smile. He made your laugh so you could giggle. God made you like no on else. If you looked all over the world-in every house-there would be no one else like you...no one with you eyes, no one with your mouth, no one with your laugh. You are very, very special. And since you are so special, God wanted to put you in just the right home...where you would be warm when it's cold, where you'd be safe when you're afraid, where you'd have fun and learn about heaven. After lots of looking, God sent you to me. And I'm so glad He did. I'll never forget the first time I saw you...your eyes were closed, your fingers were curled in two little fists, your cheeks were puffy and round. I knew in my heart God had sent someone very wonderful for me to take care of. Your first night with me, I heard every sound you made: I heard you gurgle, I heard you sniff, I heard your little lips smack. I heard you cry when you wanted to eat, and I fed you. You're bigger now, and you do more things. You can walk and run. You can play and talk. You can eat and sing and look at books. You're not a little baby anymore. But as you grow and change, some things will stay the same. I'll always love you. I'll always bug you. I'll always be on your side. And I want you to know that...just in case you ever wonder. Remember I'm here for you. On dark nights when you hear noises in your closet, call on me. When you see monsters in the shadows, call me. On hard days when kids are mean and don't treat you like they should, come to me. If your grades are bad and your teacher is mad, come to me...'cause I love you. And I always will, just in case you ever wonder. Most of all, I'll teach you about God. He loves you. He protects you. He and His angels always watch over you. And God wants me to make sure you know about heaven. It's a wonderful place. There are no tears there. No monsters. No mean people. You never have to say "good-bye," or "good-night," or "I'm hungry." You never get cold or sick or afraid. In heaven you are so close to God that He will hug you, just like I hug you. It's going to be wonderful. I will be there, too. I promise. We will be there together, forever. Remember that...just in case you ever wonder.

2 AMAZING YEARS
That is right we have hit two years! Happy Anniversary Jon! OK so it was Tuesday but today is our celebration. Jon is amazing and grounds me so much. He has strengths were I am weak and the other way around. He makes me want to be better. He is an amazing daddy and an even better husband! Tonight we are going to Hollywood Connections in Salt Lake, we wanted to do something that we could actually interact whereas if we went to a movie we couldn't really talk. 
Two years ago was one of the greatest days of my life. I not only married my best friend but the love of my life that I really don't ever remember being without.

Nothing really to post
My goal was at least once a week and well as you can see I am not doing so hot. I don't really think anyone actually reads this thing so this is where we will post exciting news so that we can find out who really reads it! Just kidding.
First exciting news is Jon got a 95 % as his final grade in his English class! YAY! He has worked so hard this term and applied himself so much so I am very proud of him. As his reward he got to wake McKenna up last night when he got home to play with her even though she had been asleep for an hour. Oh well, she missed her daddy and he missed his girl.
Next yesterday was our anniversary, but due to Jon's crazy schedule, me being sick and a shortage in the bank area we decided to wait til this weekend to do something. We aren't sure yet as to what it will be but it will be something.
McKenna is getting 3 more teeth which will bring us to a total of 11! I can't believe it. She is getting so big so fast its just crazy. Time for the dentist I guess. . . That should be fun!
I got a new visiting teaching list on Sunday. I have a feeling this one will work much better then the last and I am very excited. I am really trying hard to be involved in this ward, I'm just so shy and not outgoing at all. Oh well. I will for sure let everyone or whoever reads this know if and when anything happens, promise.

Happy Halloween!
So McKenna and I dressed up as lady bugs! I wasn't going to but last minute decided I had nothing better to do. Jon mixed up some clothes in our closet and dressed up as a geek. He won funniest costume, which still cracks me up considering his proffesion. He got a pumpkin full of candy and a fourty dollars to Applebees. McKenna looked so cute! We went to our ward party then just visited with some friends, nothing to exciting but nice. Hope you are all well.

A look in our lives
- Melissa
- Our lives started together in 2006, shortly after we found out giggles, hugs, and diapers would fill our lives, we added little M in August '07. Jon is balancing life taking care of his girls, school, and work. Melissa stays at home with little M and loves being a mom and wife. Since then I have gained over a hundred pounds. I am sick of the restrictions it gives me. I am tired of feeling groggy and miserable. I am starting over. Starting a new and teaching my family the joys of healthy living!
