Wanda

Wanda loved to quilt. She made three baby quilts and two "loveys" (this pink one and a blue puppy) for our future kids.

Wanda had an amazing sense of humor and love for life. She had a way of making everyone smile and her laughter was contagious. She raised two amazing boys who will keep her legacy, strength, and love alive and pass it on to their own children. She loved purple and had a fiery Norwegian spirit. On May 6, 2010 Wanda Knutson Sargent passed from this world to begin her journey in the next. The world will not be the same without her, but I know she is looking down on us and will guide us through our trying times. Wanda, we will miss you and you will be in our hearts, thoughts, and actions.

A Year Gone

Has it really been a year already? YES! Technically, now it's been almost 14 months, but, hey, we've been busy! The first year of our marriage has been a complete whirlwind.... Nothing seems to want to settle in our lives right now. Within the first year of our marriage Jeremy got a new job and started school, Jes finished school, we moved, Jes got a new job, we lost Jeremy's mom, and somehow made it through. It has been an incredible journey, though.

Even though it has been a crazy and trying year, hindsight shows that it has been a year of growth for both Jeremy and I. We have both come to know and understand each other better, and accept some of the other person's little quirks (but only some.)

So I want to say to my amazing and wonderful husband: I love you. I know this last year has been very very rough and we've had our fair share of ups and downs (although the downs sometimes seem more prevalant) but we got through all of them together. Looking back we truly have worked as a great team, and are continuing to learn how to strengthen that team. I couldn't have asked for a better husband who not only supports me, but doesn't stand down when I'm being stubborn. I love you Jeremy. Here's to another year!
