We miss Jake everyday. He was a great dad and an amazing husband. The kids and I still talk about him everyday. I miss him so much. I cant believe it has been 5 years. So much has happened in the 5 years. Jacob was born and is now 4. Jax is in 6th grade instead of 1st. Josh and Jordy are both in school now. I was remarried and had another baby. I have 9 boys instead of 3. We live in a different town and a new house. People in the family have been married and there are new babies. The only thing that hasnt changed is the gospel. I am grateful the have the savior in my life to help me through this all. I miss so much about Jake it is hard to list them all but here are a few things I will mention:
I miss his smile, his hug and they way he kissed me. I miss hearing his voice, and talking to him everyday. I miss watching TV with him and sitting on his lap in his green chair. I miss going to the ranch with him and riding horses. (I fell in love with him when I saw him running on his horse for the first time) I miss our life together. I miss hearing his testimony on sundays. I miss waiting in bed in the mornings with the boys until he came home from work. I miss hearing his laugh and how he teased me all the time. I miss how he made me a better person and always believed in me. I miss laying on his chest and feeling safe. I miss him getting my bath ready when Ive had a bad day. I miss watching him with the boys. I miss having him play with my hair. He used to twist it and put it in my ear which drove me crazy, he always said I would miss it if he was gone. He was right I do miss it! I miss him like crazy.

Oh Julie...that was a sweet post. It really almost brings me to tears when I see pictures of you two because I knew without a doubt how happy you two always were :)
Dido to Amys' comment. I love being your friend Julie, what a truely amazing person you are.
Oh Julie, this made me cry. You are such a strong person. I miss Jake too. He had such a fun sense of humor and a great laugh. I wish we could have done more with you guys. I remember too, how he would tease you. It was obvious how much he loved you and the boys. Thank you for all of your words of advice, you have helped make my marriage stronger.
Hi Julie! I've been wondering how your January has been - I think this post answers my question:) He sound wonderful, and the pictures in your Christmas posts are great.
Okay so now I'm crying...and I'm going to cuddle up to my husband and boys tonight!
