Update

I know I haven't updated the blog in a while so here's what is going on with us with a few random pictures. I'm still plugging away at my job at Wells Fargo as a lead teller. We have such a high turnover rate that I am now the senior most teller at our bank. I work hard but I enjoy most of the work and the people I work with so it's okay. Spencer's job at the paint shop at BYU-I ended as he is now off track and you have to be enrolled full time if you want to work there so for his break he found an internship with a local construction company. He just started this week so we'll see if he likes it. We've spent a couple of weekends at my parents cabin or as I've recently heard my sister call it, they're "lodge".

We spent a few days in Arizona for one of Spencer's best friends wedding. It was nice to get away but I'm realizing how much Rexburg is growing on me. Our good friends Michelle and Kaulana and their little girl Maddie moved back to Rexburg so we're happy to have more friends around! I got my sewing machine out and finished some pillows for our couches from material I bought back in January and also a purse from material I got back in March. I think they turned out pretty cute.





I am also ridiculously excited to see the new twilight. here is the trailer:






I've also recently been introduced to www.peopleofwalmart.com. Hilarious but there is some profanity and some disturbing pictures so view with caution!
Oh and college football has started so I'm hearing more ESPN and seeing less of Spencer.

4th of July!

For the 4th Spencer and I, Spencer's cousin Kevy and his wife Nicole, and Spencer's brother Hayden went to my parents cabin in Bear Lake, Idaho. SO much fun. I'm a little bummed we couldn't go to the lake but still so much fun. Saturday morning we went to the Minnetonka caves and did some exploring. And then of course we lit fireworks that night. Don't worry Mom and Dad the cabin is still intact. We also got some great raspberry shakes and yummy food, played some games and went on an awesome 4-wheeling ride. What a great weekend!
jazzed for the caves



This was kermit's castle


you just have to light it and RUN




nicole was a little nervous about me lighting the fireworks






My husband looks good in green

Well the title is pretty self-explanatory. Spencer's sister Katie got married a few weekend ago and we were lucky to be able to go to Arizona even if just for a short trip. I mean a very short trip. We drove to Salt Lake Friday afternoon, flew out Friday night, did wedding stuff all day Saturday and flew back Sunday afternoon. Short but sweet. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and that is when I realized my husband looks really good in this color of green. Or as he likes to say, he looked like a mint oreo. Yum. :)



I hate mosquitos

Spencer and I went hiking the other day, and when I say the other day I mean like 3 weeks ago, because it has been a long time since I've updated. Anyway,we went hiking up "R" mountain and it just made me realize even more how much I hate mosquito's. Although it was pretty good motivation to keep going because anytime I had to stop to take a rest, mosquito's would SWARM. I was so thankfully that I brought a long sleeve hoodie even though it was like 70 degrees out. Here are a few pictures and yes I'm very out of shape that is why I have a pained looked on my face.

Spencer's First House

Okay, not a real house, but a house nonetheless! In one of his classes last semester everyone with a group had to construct a model house from blueprint plans. That is one sturdy house!

Wally World

With our recent pregnancy Spencer and I were suddenly faced with the "Oh crap how are we going to afford a baby" state of our marriage. Although the pregnancy ended sadly we feel we've been given a second chance to get our priorities in order before we start a family. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their concerns shown when we had our miscarriage. It was a hard time but we're doing great now. Now back to business, I got a job at Wal-Mart! Anybody who knows me, knows I love Wal-Mart so it was only a matter of time before I took a job there! Spencer has been so busy with school and his part-time job and it seems whenever I'm home he's always doing homework so I just end up watching TV, so I just figured I might as well do something worth while. For all those wondering, Spencer did NOT make me get a second job. It was completely my choice and I choose to work now to put my husband through school. I also figured, hey, he'll be working for almost the rest of his life, I can do my part now. I've been working about 4 nights a week as a cashier and so far so good! The small break between jobs is pretty rough but once I actually get to the store and start working the night goes by fairly quickly. My feet hurt and my back is killing me, but it all feels better when I think of our future, (and Spencer gives me good massages when I come home).
