!!!!!!!!!

super cool title right?
it's just that i have no words to adequately give this last week a title

1 week ago we moved my sister into her new house. it feels like a month ago but yesterday at the same time. it makes no sense. it was sort of bittersweet moving them. bitter in the fact that they are no longer 30 seconds away. sweet in the fact that its a brand new house. Der.

4 days later this happened.

 my amazing little sis is going to be a missionary and the people of Nashville don't even know how lucky they are to have her. coco.. you will do great things. (baha you know what i mean) seriously though.

now.. i need to explain my over-the-top freak out in that video. a week or so after she turned in her papers i was thinking about where she would go. i kept thinking tennessee. and even cracked a few jokes by saying things like:
 coco, i bet you go to nashville cause you're the only ten i see.
the longer i thought about tennessee the more it seemed to fit her. also why not go to a place that you could potentially convert taylor swift. (side note: i presumptuously took a screenshot of this conversation on wednesday morning knowing i was going to be gloating. win.)

also about 5 minutes before she opened it i told my uncle it would be the perfect place for her. she wouldn't have to be sad about leaving her guitar at home. chances are a lot of people will have them.

well that should be enough gloating. love you bean. you will seriously be amazing and i'm so proud of you. thanks for always being an incredible sister and best friend to me. i hope its a fast 18 months!

less than 24 hours from when that video was taken this happened..

ash was having contractions all wednesday so we were hoping it would happen soon. 16 hours after coco opened her call this gorgeous bundle of joy was born. i don't know why we are so blessed this week but i am so grateful. 

since ash and kyle were preoccupied at the hospital i got to hang out with my 2 favorite boys most of thursday and all day friday. these 2 little guys make me so happy.

they were as excited as i was to meet their new little sister. we were having a hard time staying out of trouble waiting for the time to pass. so naturally we built a fort and had a picnic inside.

when we got home from preschool on friday buddy had toilet papered the christmas tree. the boys were pretty shocked buddy was able to find them and that he made such a mess. love them!!

 by the time friday night rolled around we were all pretty exhausted from such an emotional week. some of us fell asleep in the car and drooled on our coats. some of us pretended to fall asleep in the car so we could be carried in. (yes i got punked by a 5 year old. well played little man) and...  some of us cried out of the blue due to happiness, sleep deprivation, or pms. i guess we will never know. all i know is that it will be hard to top this week. i'm seriously so grateful.
