What A WOMAN!!



I know that many of you know this. I do, but I don't say it near enough. McCall is amazing! Endure for a bit as I brag about her. I love her and am so lucky to have her.

This weekend we moved in to our new house. Yes, the house that McCall designed, helped build, cleaned, general contracted, and now is decorating. It's been a big project and one that wouldn't have happened without her. I work in Milford and so I am gone from sunrise to sundown. She has handled the bidding process, overseen the work, and anything else.

Now that, in and of itself, is a feat for anyone. But she has done this while coaching the Cedar High dance team, the SUU dance team, cut hair one day a week, and taken care of two little boys and a husband. She hasn't just done these things, but she excels at them. She has taken both dance programs to new heights and is an amazing mother.

I'm not done. Monday we found out that McCall wasn't in-fact pregnant with a baby, but had a Molar pregnancy. So, yesterday she went into surgery and had a D @ C performed (if you want more details you can ask McCall or myself). I am so amazed at how she has handled it all. It has taken me 8 years to figure out that she just needs a little praise and someone to listen to her. I'm not as good at these as I should be, but I'm working on it.

Tomorrow is McCall's 28th Birthday. With the new house, surgery, and everything else going on I wanted to thank her. I am very proud of you, McCall!

What you said is so true Jaren! McCall does more in a day than I do in a week... maybe even a month. She is always going. I was sorry to hear about the surgery. Hopefully she can rest a bit in that amazingly beautiful home that she basically built, as you said.

Kristen said...

Congrats on getting into the house. I really don't know how she does it all. What a sweet husband to say such nice things. I hope that you get feeling better McCall.

McCall, I am SO SORRY to hear what you are going through! I have 2 sis-in-laws who have had molar pregnancies and they are not easy! I hope you are recovering okay and that you can get back on your feet soon! I am sure you will, you really are amazing! One day I hope you can teach me how to be as organized as you...I could not imagine having as much going on and having it as together as you!! I hope you have a Happy Birthday!!!

Great post Jaren! Tell McCall she is also a terrific example to the girls that she coaches. I couldn't have my daughters in more perfect hands. McCall thanks for the example that you are! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Melissa said...

Jaren that is so thoughtful. I agree that she excels at them all and she does it all with a smile on her face. Kelly is right she is a great friend! I am sorry to hear about what happened. I would love to help if you need it McCall, a.k.a superwoman!

Well said! I think McCall is amazing as well I was priviledged to work with you and she is very talented at everything she does. I hope you get feeling better! And hope you have a great birthday!

Megan Andersen said...

She has been the same AMAZING muli-tasker since highschool(probably since before then, but I didn't know her). She is a strong-willed woman! My thoughts are with you McCall--HAPPY 28TH!!

Kenzie said...

Please don't tell my husband that you are in charge of home building. I tell him that is his job, not mine. You are SUPER woman. I don't know how you do all of that and not go crazy. Sounds like you were born to be a multi-tasker. I wish you a quick recovery from your sugery. I am not sure things can run without you.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

KA said...

You always have a big smile on while you have so much going on. How can you not love McCall she is one of the funniest people that I know. I am sorry to her about your pregnancy. I hope you are feeling ok from the surgery. I alway comment on how everything falls into place for you and Jaren, but I think it is because you have such a good out look on everything and nothing is going to stop you from getting what you want. Got to love that!!!!!
