Our New Home

Last time I posted we were well on our way to start moving into our new home. Unfortunately things never work out how you plan. Our papers that went to the Rural Housing Department were 12 days late! so for almost a week and a half we were stuck living in a motel trying not to go crazy. All of our belongings were stuck in garages, horse trailers, dump trailers, pretty much anywhere we could possible stuff it. It was a nightmare to say the least. Well we finally moved into our house which brought more disasters. The previous owners had failed to clean the house and went so far as to shut off the power while leaving their food in their fridge. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Luckily I have the best family in the world because I was able to call them and they came down and all helped me organize and clean for a day which helped out immensely. Each day now we are still finding things that need fixed or replaced. It's true what they say about houses being money pits. If I had to choose though between living in a house or an apartment I would definitely go with the house.  For the most part we do love it and it is  a work in progress. The good part is it gives us an excuse to spend time together fixing up our new home which is the part I like since we never see each other. Hopefully someday we can look back on this and just laugh and being able to see our hard work pay off. 

Welcome Spring

It is such an exciting time right now. Curtis and I have officially bought our first home and we move in 8 days ahhh mild freak out. We can't wait to have a bigger place to be together at. One sad thing about moving is the fact that we will released from our calling as primary teacher. We love those little buggers even though they are a handful to say the least. Hopefully we will get a new calling in our new ward soon.
We are both still going to school and working which is so stressful and crazy but I think it helps keep us both motivated for life. If we had nothing to do we would go crazy. I am actually starting another adventure as well. I start at Bridgerland Technical College on the 9th of April. I am going to do the Medical Assisting program there. That will be so great for me. Then I can get a better job which deal with things I am interested in with my future career. I am bound and determined to get all finished in 5 months or at least 7 months at the latest.
On the 10th my parents had their anniversary. It was wonderful. Those little stinkers drove all the way to Logan to be with their kids on their anniversary. It was so fun though. We spent dinner together at Maddox in Brigham City which was delicious. It was a good way to end the week. My parents are amazing and very inspiring that they are so happy even after all of these years. I am truly blessed to have them in my life.

All Grown Up

My sister got married on the 7th of November. Curtis and I were not able to attend because of school but we did make it to one of her receptions. It was fun seeing family I hadn't seen in a while. It will also be nice to have her being living closer to me in Utah. Now if only I could convince my parents to move. I miss them so much. Somedays its hard to be so far away from them. Any who here are a few pictures from the reception. Enjoy!
Doesn't she look so pretty!


The Happy Couple :) So perfect Together




The Whole Family

A Weekend Away

This weekend has been so crazy!!! On Friday Curtis left for southern Utah to go hunting with all the Willden boys. While Curtis was gone I went up to visit my family. It was a much needed visit, and I had so much fun. I got so spend a lot of time with family. My cousin Curt came home from his mission and I saw him for the first time in 2 years. It was so great. I love that kid to death and he has grown up so much. He made the family so proud.  One high light of the weekend was I got to go a storage unit of a relative that had passed away and pick out anything I wanted. It was so much fun. My mom and I came home with so much stuff. I found night stands, a hutch, old clothes, and some way old tea pots which I can not wait to use. Curtis had a good weekend to even though he didn't get a deer or anyone for that matter , but he enjoyed being away with his family and from me :) ha ha. I am just glad we are back in the same house doing what we do best which is, school, work, and lots of sleeping. ha ha! that is pretty much all we do now a days. Thankfully only about 1 month and a half left until the semester is over and after that Cali for Christmas!!!

I didn't think our lives could get so crazy until now

It's been so long since we , or I mean I, have updated that blog. Life is really good for us . Curtis and I are both full time student and both work. Curtis and I are taking two of the same classes which makes it nice because I have a permanent study partner. Hopefully we can get Curtis done in two years which is so exciting. I am very proud of him! he works so hard and I couldn't be happier he is going back to school. 
I am going to be starting shadowing at the hospital. I got lucky and the new ward we have moved the bishop is a Physical Therapist which has made all of this possible. He is a great man and he is helping us out so much.
I think I am feeling overwhelmed and its hard to remember God doesn't give us more than we can handle , but when I am working and going to school all day its hard to not get stressed.
I also just got a calling. I am the chorister for the Relief Society which helps me motivated to going to church. I work Saturday nights and I have a hard time waking up for our 9 o'clock church
The main to remember is God does everything for a purpose. I am grateful we are both able to go to school and for my calling. I can't wait to see where our life takes us.

The Joys of Life

It is crazy how long can throw you all these curve balls. Curtis broke his arm back in October and it has made life interesting.  He got the cast of for a week until the doctor noticed it wasn't healing so he had to go back in it.  It has made us very stressed. We really want to get our own place again and this has just made it so we have to wait longer. The only good thing is that Curtis and I have been able to spend time together to fix things that needed fixed. I really want Curtis to get back to work to he can feel like he is accomplishing something, but the bad point is he will be working out of state. So I will have to learn to be by myself. That will be a hard adjustment for me. I am trying hard to get used to the idea, so I can support him. Hopefully it will only be a temporary thing. Until then I must grin and bare it. I love my husband and appreciate what he does to support our family.

Our New Beginning

Today I spent the whole day looking for new apartments and applying for jobs. It's very frustrating trying to get everything figured out. The most important thing is that Curtis and I get a place together so we can start working things out.  Life has been hard for us from the beginning and all we need right now is to be together. We are both hoping to find a place and me able to move in within the next couple of week. I am so excited to be near him again and have our own place we can call home. Life is going to start getting better. Right now is the most exciting time. I cant wait for all the holidays to come. With the trees changing you can't help but love it. All I can say is I cant help but be happy knowing I get to spend this wonderful time of the year with Curtis
