Hey anyone who reads this (lol). I just wanted to update everyone and let you know that Nate got a job. He was only technically unemployed for 1 day, which I really see as such a blessing. Its a company here in Kaysville, but just because this blog doesn't have a password on it, I won't say where. But we are so happy, and he seems to really be glad about the change. I think he will end up liking this new job quite a bit.
Other then that I'm just getting ready for my trip out to see my buddy in California! I cannot wait, and will be enjoying every minute out there with her. We have some nieces and a nephew that will be here friday night to Sunday, so hopefully they will help keep Nate entertained.
I don't really know how much more I will be updating this, I'm sure I will as things happen, but I think its started to make me realize no one cares about my life! LOL. I know there are people that read this, and that's awesome, but my life is so boring, I don't really expect people to care! Its a happy and interesting life to ME, but I realize most others will be bored with the things I have to say.
Anyhow, thank you for the prayers that were offered for us, we appreciate all the the love and support we recieve.
:D

Our life is so very boring....
And its the truth! No exciting adventures to tell about, no funny children stories. I honestly wonder most the time, "why did I start this blog??" I guess more then anything just for myself. I would suppose most people's lives are that way. Small, and significant to them of course, but quiet.
"But where our hearts truly lie is in peace and quiet...." Bilbo Baggins, There and back again: A Hobbits Tale (The Lord of the Rings series).
Maybe its just the fast paced world that makes me feel like my life is slow and inconsequential. It seems sometimes that the world is spinning so very fast, while I am just standing absoleutly still. Sometimes I prefer it that way. But other times, I would like things to be a little different. Its not that things never happen to us, it just seems like when things do, there is a long period of nothing happening in between.
Anyways, I will be heading out to California a week from Saturday. I think it will be so much fun, and a nice vacation with one of my girls. :D Its always different hanging out with girls vs. boys. Lots of laughing, lots of chocolate. Yes it will be a fun trip.
Nate rolled his ankle the other day, and it was all swollen last night. I feel bad for him, of course being the manly man he is, he doesn't let me know how much pain he really is in. To bad for him I have intuition, so I knew anyways. :) Hopefully it gets better quickly.
I have been reading a lot lately, I just finished The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and really enjoyed it. I have to say that C.S. Lewis was an inspired writer. I am about 1/3 through Prince Caspian and all ready can tell this will be one of my favorite series. I also have read pieces of his A Grief Observed which was written when his wife passed away, and he just had such a way of writing that made you feel like he was talking to directly to you, and telling you a really intriguing story.
Other then that not much else is going on in our life! Same old stuff. Thanks for reading. :D

Anniversary tomorrow!
Not of our wedding, but tomorrow marks our 5 year anniversary of when we got engaged. I can't believe how fast time has gone! It really does only seem like yesterday that we were talking about getting married. But I have loved our marriage, even with all its ups and downs. Its such a good feeling to know someone so well, and to be sharing your life with someone. I wouldn't trade Nate for anything.
Its been kind of crazy being back at home. Its actually kind of nice to be able to chat with my dad during the day. I don't see much of our cats anymore though! They are too freaked out over Scout (a blue and gold macaw) so a lot of times they are hiding under the bed. They also don't like the stairs I have come to learn, neither of them quite know what to make of them, its kind of funny in some ways. They are doing better then I expected so that's a good thing.
It has brought back a lot of memories being here though. Its made me miss some key people in my life, one being my mom. The other is my Grandma. So many of my memories of both of those people are swirling around in this house, in some ways its kind of sad, but in others its kind of nice. Its all most like their presence still kind of lingers here.
Nate's still looking for a job. He's had a couple of interviews, but they just weren't a good fit for us. Our biggest goal right now is to get Nate somewhere that offers tuition reimbursement, and the time to go back to school. Hopefully something turns up before to long.
Well, that seems to be about it for now. Sometimes I wonder why I started this blog because I don't really have much to say LOL. But that's okay, I guess its better for our friends and family who don't see us often to hear something. Its better then nothing so they say!
Well, tell next time then! :D

Life is really, really weird.
This has been one of the worst weeks I can remember. On Monday, we found out that Nate is being let go from his job. It feels like at least to me, that months have passed since Monday. Its strange how these things just happen all the sudden, when you were just going along, minding your own business and just trying to live your life.
This has NOTHING to do with Nate whatsoever. Anyone that knows him, knows how hard he works without complaining. He has been working this job for all most 3 years, and has worked consistent 13 hour+ shifts, Mon-Fri. Its just a sad thing, to be let go so easy, when you have invested so much of your life into the job.
So, for now, we are moving in with my Dad. It will be very interesting to say the least! Just kidding Dad, you know we love you and appreciate you taking us in. We would be in a pickle if it weren't for you!!
So anyhow, as they they say, its all about who you know. So, if you, few people that read this (lol) know or hear of anyone hiring, send us a message through email, here, or Facebook. We are looking hard!
God, we know from experience has a greater purpose in all He does, so our faith is in Him. And what would life be like without trials, and surprises??? On the boring side I would think. Anyhow, thanks for reading this, and I will keep everyone posted as often as I can! Bye!
