Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day and was very pampered. TC did all the dishes and meals, got me flowers and cards. Savanna made me the sweetest book in kindergarten. I love it! I had a great day at church and then we went to a friend's baby blessing and spent the rest of the day relaxing at home. I'm so grateful for my 3 beautiful children that have made me a mom and have helped me learn how to be a better person. I'm so blessed to be their mother. I'm so grateful for my own mom who has sacrificed so much for me and is one of my best friends. My mother-in-law is also an amazing person and is such a great example to me. I'm also grateful to my wonderful friends who are mothers who are great examples and supports to me. Happy Belated Mother's Day to all you amazing moms out there! I know your work is hard but it is so important. Try not to feel guilty when you're not doing it perfectedly. I often do that. But if we are doing out best that will always be enough! Here's just a couple of pictures from that day.

How We Met

We met when both of us lived in the same apartment complex and were attending the same singles ward. We became acquainted as friends when one of Ashley's roomates was interested in one of TC's roommates and always wanted to hang out at their apartment. Ashley came along for moral support. Ashley has to admit that her initial impression of TC was not the greatest. She was wondering why he was trying to act like such a "tough guy" by shaving his head and going by TC. One day she asked him why he didn't grow his hair out to which he replied that he could not and she also learned that he goes by TC to distinguish himself from his father who is named Thomas Clark and his grandfather who is Thomas Clarence. TC relates that when he first met Ashley he thought she was cute and was contemplating asking her out or another girl in the ward. He did think Ashley was slightly immature because she was engaging in often frivolous activities such as throwing water balloons out her apartment window at people walking by and wrestling with guys in the apartment lounge. (She has grown up since then, TC says!) TC decided to give it a go and ask Ashley out after he came home from a trip visiting his sister, April, in Arizona. His roommates related that Ashley had expressed an interest in him. (Actually Ashley's roommate was trying to hook her up with TC and told his roommates Ashley wanted to go out with him. Ashley did not entirely object.) So TC called Ashley and asked her to go with a group to Pirates of the Caribbean. Their first official single date was to Wendy's (Way to go, TC, lol) TC and Ashley dated exclusively for about a year before becoming engaged in December of 2004 and were then married on April 23rd, 2005 and it has been bliss ever since!
