Just so grateful

It has taken me way too long to start writing this post because I have tried to plan it out in my head over and over again and it never feels right. It never feels grateful enough. It never feels like I can capture all that they did or how amazing we think they are.

And I finally realized, I was right. I couldn't. So I tried to do that in a thank you note I wrote them and after that was delivered, I realized they would be embarrassed enough that I stole one of the photos that they shared with me to be used in a Christmas gift to Jacob's parents (I couldn't help it, they are so crazy darling). If I went on and on about them and all that they did for us while we were in Seattle, they may disown us (and we like them way too much to chance that). Besides, they aren't those kind of people. They are way too humble for that much attention.

But I knew I had to put something on the blog, because it mattered to me to have it here so that we would always remember their incredible kindness to us and how grateful we are to have them as our friends and our family. So here goes...

Thank you, thank you, thank you Taunya and Jonny! There are no words for how grateful we are for not only being willing to be with our kids for five days while we truly got away for the first time in our marriage, but for acting like it was your pleasure. How you treated our kids and what you were willing to do so that we could enjoy our time is overwhelming to us. We never worried about the kids for a single second and that meant so much to us. We are just so grateful and hope you know we think you are incredible! Sure love you guys.
