Happy 8 years!


 Matt and I celebrated 8 years of marriage.  8 years ago we were in puerta vallarta.  Today we are in Simi Valley spending time with our 2 crazy kids.  We celebrated by going to breakfast and Sky High as a family.


 I have a ton more pictures of all their crazy faces.

 Sorry there are blurry pics.  I couldn't get them to stop jumping long enough for a pic.


The next day I took the kids to visit their friends who were camping at Rincon. 


We are enjoying every minute of summer already!

FYI.  
Little known fact; it costs $2.25 to use the bathroom in Venice, Italy!  If you don't have the cash, you can just do your business in the Grand Canal.... It ends up there anyway.


Also, Venice looks like a fish, with the different barrios, and surrounding islands.  The Canal grande snakes down the middle.

My Amazing Wife


So, anyone who knows my wife Keline knows that she is the awesomest.  I know it; and I would be lost without her.  We are going on 8 years of marriage next month, and I can say that I am looking toward the next 60 years with her.  
There have been times in our marriage that we wanted to kill each other, or at least go on separate vacations.  Through and through, we remind each other that it is worth it to work through our differences and get along.  I would rather admit that she is right, regardless of how illogical and woman emotionally tainted her thought processes sometimes are.  I like sleeping in the same bed as my wife, and even in the same room, let alone the same house.  I learned around year 5 that:
  Proverbs 1:8-9:18 - Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. 
So, she wins.
   She has mellowed me out, and allowed me to lively her up a little.  One day she will even go skydiving with me, just you wait.
  Our two kids are the love our life.  They bring happiness to our family and an eternal perspective of this temporal existence.  Both of them have such individual personalities; I can’t wait to see what the next one brings!
I have been on a crazy schedule for work this month, including jet setting red eyes coast to coast at a moment’s notice.  Keline doesn’t complain at all, but picks up all of my responsibilities as a Dad and piles them onto her busy schedule as a Mom.  I think she runs on super-awesome-amazingness.

Some super awesomeness that happens in the Kempton home:

 When it is my turn to get the kids to church early, Keline makes it easy, and ensures the kids don't wear hideousness. She also got their breakfast ready. Keline has been dressing me for 8 years, and the kids for their whole existence.







I love you sweetheart.  I appreciate you. And I know which one of us married up, and which one of us settled…. J
