School, update...

So as an update, Kenny and i are in school again. Kenny is taking 20 credits this semester and being such an awesome husband and working as well. I am taking 16 credits and still looking for a job. Kenny just got accepted into the Social Work Program! He is so stoked and i couldn't be prouder of him. We live here in Rexburg and love the apartment that we are in. We are so happy that we are married, especially when we see all of these single peeps walking around campus. haha. We've also been trying to work out everyday and eat better. Go us. All of my classes are about family this semester except for one, a science class. So it should be a great semester, i'm excited to learn more and to improve myself as a wife and family member. :)

New news from us....

So we're here in Utah for the rest of the Summer. We live in Midvale and we like it a lot. I think i said this before but we are attending a Tongan ward and its so awesome!! We just received callings this past sunday. I am a Laurels Advisor, and Kenny is the Temple Prep teacher. We are both pretty excited to have these callings and grow in this ward.

I have only two classes to take to receive my associates degree and thats what i plan on doing this next fall semester. Kenny is on track too and will be taking some classes as well.

Kenny is going to switch to be a tech for the pest control company, and then at nights he will be a sells man like he is right now. I have been working at the office that he works out of every night and just do some paperwork.

I have came to find a few hobbies, I've made tortillas, bread, and i even crocheted a baby blanket.

So we have decided to start taking turns on saturdays planning our date nights. Im pretty excited about it. Every saturday will start with a endowment session since that is the only time we can go since Kenny and i work every night.

Well thats us as of lately.

College life has brought such great qualities!

So, since we've been married....i have found things that i know how to do that i wouldn't have been able to if i didn't have awesome roommates. I learned cool things mostly when it comes to cooking however, those still count. Chicken 'n dumplings, meatballs, lava cake in the microwave, forts out of sheets. I am so grateful for the awesome roommates that i had and never will regret going to byui for at least that one reason. That is where i found my two BFFE. :)

Mothers

This is a late post to mothers day, but everyday can be mothers day right?

These are a few quotes that i found that really pertain to this post.

“Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.” 
― Marguerite Duras
hahahahah this totally reminds me of my mom. She is the strangest craziest person i've ever met...but most likely because we made her that way.
“As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.” 
― Kristin Hannah, Summer Island
My mom and I have had our ups and downs, but she has become my best friend and i'm so grateful for the relationship that we have. Growing up i remember every time my dad would give us back to school blessings, mine always blessed my mom and I's relationship because of that i know that is why we are such great friends. Lately as i have thought about her the words that stand out are charitable, and selflessness. She is such an example of Christ. I love her so much!

Old friends, new family!

     So over the last 5 years i have two new nieces, and one nephew...adopted of course because they are my best friends kids. lol.

Randi has two little girls and i adore them just as my siblings children. Paige, and Eden. Randi and i have been close friends for a long time! She married Coleman and they are an adorable family!

Paige

Eden

Then there is Steven. He too got married to Frankie and they just had a baby boy a little over a month ago. He is such a doll and my first nephew. :) 

Tommy

Now i have recently found out that my bestie Hailey is also pregnant and i'm so excited for her and her husband Kyler they are due in December.

I just want both of these guys to know that they are such inspiration to me and i can't wait to have kids and have them all be friends. Thanks for being such great friends and letting me be their adoptive aunt. :) even though i'm horrible and don't see any of you as often as i should. Love you!! Give my peanuts a big hug for me! 

So many things...

There are so many things i want to blog about, so....i may be long winded today but i'm gonna make several posts today. This one may be unnecessary, but....oh well heads up. lol

Life in a nutshell

So February 1 Kenny and I got married. We originally were supposed to be married on March 2 But Mitsue, Kenny's little sister, was leaving on her mission on February 6. She, Kenny, and I all wanted her to be able to attend so we changed the date and within 4 days of deciding, we were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple. Our Photographer Amber Vest was extremely kind and just switched up her week as soon as we told her so that she could photograph the wedding day. So here are a couple pictures to display our Magical day.

We had such a beautiful day and wedding. Although i never thought i would get married in the winter, it was more then i could have ever asked for. So thank you to all of you who were there to celebrate with us. We had our reception a month later on our supposed to be wedding day and it was SOO much fun! So we went to Vegas for our honeymoon. That was fun and we had a blast, although we don't like the strip hahah. 

this is our first night on our honeymoon in vegas. wooop!

Well, after being married for two months, Kenny started a new job with a company named Eco Shield. He is selling pest control in Utah until August. So we have been living here for the last month. We lived in an apt. in South Jordan for about three weeks and have just moved to Midvale now this past Saturday. Its nice to be in our first apartment and has been fun to decorate and what not. Kenny usually works from like 9:30AM-9:00 PM it basically blows. We see each other for prob around 5 hours  a day. Its tough but it makes us love one another even more. So i try to find stuff to do while he is gone because i dont have a job yet, and we JUST got internet/TV today. so now i can blog and watch netflix and stuff haha. 

 We went to Church on Sunday and we had planned to go to this Tongan ward after because i had never been to one and Kenny just wanted to check it out. All during our ward i kept feeling like we should be members of this Tongan ward. We went to sacrament there and the spirits prompting was definitely confirmed. It was an awesome meeting and everyone was so welcoming and kind. We are so excited to be apart of the ward. I can't understand everything that people say there because their accents are pretty strong haha. But i am working on learning hymns in Tongan and practice everyday.

Well, This is our life as of now in a nutshell. Ill be posting soon. Until then, Aloha!
