Update

Wow.... time has really zipped by the past few weeks and I havn't taken much time to update our blog. On October 30th Jason and I became proud owners of a home. I would say a new home but seeing how it was built in 1920 it's not really new but it is new to us and we are so excited. I really do love it. We are currently doing some repairs that we wanted to make before we move in so we arn't living in Evanston yet but the time is drawing near. Our families have both been so great to help us out with the work on it and we feel so blessed for all that they have done for us.
We do have pics of the house but they are in Evanston so I will try to post them sometime this week.

Happy Birthday My Love... Lets Go Skydiving

Well Jason turns the big 25 today! ahhh..... Can you believe a quarter of a century old.. wow! Yesterday, for his birthday I surprised him and took him SKYDIVING!!!! You should have seen the look on his face because he had no idea. Everyone that knows Jason knows how adventuresome he is though so it was a good surprise. It was the most exciting thing I think that I have ever done and Jason had a blast also. I'm so glad that I decided to do it with him because it's a memory that we will have forever. We both got pictures and DVDs of our skydives and my dad went with us also. All I have to share are some of my pics and my dad's since the cameraman that took Jason's was having a hard time with his computer but I'll share them when we get them in the mail along with our videos. Some of the pics are so funny but that's what happens to your face when you're falling from 13,000 feet at 120mph for 60 seconds. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON.......!!!!!!!

The look on his face when he finds out!

The END

Into the Future

May 2008: Laramie, WY. THERE WE WERE, done with school ready to move onto bigger and better things. Looking forward to a new home, new town, new people, new ward, new church callings, new jobs etc, etc, etc....... What an exciting time in our lives. What the future held we were unsure about but so excited for. We were ready to take on the world and have money like everyone is supposed to after completing their bachelors degree... RIGHT?

October 2008: Fort Bridger, WY. HERE WE ARE, living with my parents right back at the beginning.. haha don't get me wrong I'm so grateful for my parents and their willingness to put up with me again after being out of the house for 5 years, and they were even nice enough to let me bring along my wonderful husband to double the occupancy of their household.
Anyway what I'm really trying to get at is I miss LARAMIE!
* I miss my job at Gem City... Even though the people I work with in Evanston are so nice to me.
* I miss our ward... It's hard to feel like we belong permanently in my mom's ward when we know we're moving.
* I miss intramural sports... I have a hard time getting motivated to exercise for some reason.
* I miss our little apartment that I was so excited to get out of...I think the thing that's been the hardest is that I never knew how much stress it is to buy a home. I thought it would be such an exciting thing but I really dislike it so far. We backed out of a home that we were going to buy and fix up because we figured Jason probably won't have a lot of time with his new job and all. Now we're back to square one looking at all of our options again. It is a huge decision. I know that it will all work out though.
I know that I need to stop thinking about the past and listen to President Monson and start looking at today. Things really aren't so bad here I can think of a lot of great things going on in our lives to.
*We get to see both of our families almost every day and that has been such a blessing.
*I get to spend a lot of time with my mom again which I have missed living in Laramie.
* We've got to see McKell play volleyball for the first time this season and let me tell you she is dang good!
*And many more things have been wonderful changes with this move. I will try to be more positive but I figure it's okay to miss the past as long as you are positive about the future! RIGHT?
