For almost the past 3 months I planned to write a post today, however this isn’t exactly the post I planned.  Yesterday I was scheduled to complete my first sprint triathlon, but due to illness I wasn’t able to.  I’ve been sick for the past week now.  So instead, I’ll post about all the blessings I [...]

Tonight I get to cross another thing off my list.  The thing I’ve been wanting to achieve the most since I made that list. 

GET A JOB

Yep, after many months of praying, and applying, being hopeful one day, and feeling really discouraged the next, I was offered a full time, permanant job!  I’ll be returning to my credit [...]

As the month of “Thanksgiving” begins today, there is so much to be grateful for!  This past week I enjoyed:
A new camera- since I lost our last one and there are many photo worthy events coming up this month we decided to grab another camera.  That means, pictures will return to the blog!
Sounders Game- Jeremy [...]

A Fantastic evening full of delicious food, awesome company and so many laughs!
On the mend… I was sick that last half of the week but I’m feeling better now.
A Great Saturday evening with Jeremy… we planned to watch the Sounders game at home.  We started with victory tacos (a little presumptuous) and then game home [...]

I’ve had a very full two weeks which has given me so much to be thankful for!

Trip to Utah- A quick 4 day trip, jammed packed with family and friends.  There are many things I love about Utah: afternoon thunderstorms, sunflowers growing like weeds along the side of the road, family and friends. I love spending [...]

Work- I started working again this week!  It’s a temporary job, very flexible time, and I get to take the bus!  It’s great to be working again.  A very good side benefit is that I work with my sister, Amy, part of the time!  She’s extremely busy, so we don’t get much time to just [...]

Dinner Party- Last Monday night we were invited over to the Farrar’s house, along with the Beans, for dinner.  Great conversation, lots of laughing, scrumptious food (including homemade ice cream!!).  We had a good time.
Farmer’s Market- I made my first trip of the year to my local Farmer’s Market.  This time around I went with [...]

Lunches on the Beach- My last two days at work I was able to spend my lunch break at the beach.  I love the water.  It is so calming and peaceful, and yet constantly moving and always intriguing.  I loved laying on the pebbles (The beaches in Puget Sound have very little sand) and taking [...]

Relief Society- This week I went to Enrichment. Now that I’m in Young Women’s I don’t get to spend much time with my Relief Society Sisters. This week our activity was about Strengthening our Families based on the counsel we were given from our Stake President. We went to 3 mini-classes. [...]

Health- We’ve spent the last two weeks with one or the other of us sick. Jeremy is finally starting to feel better!
Growth- The first crop of corn has appeared, along with the beans and carrots we planted.
Unplanned Evening Out- Last weekend, my friend Emily (she’s really responsible for Jeremy and I spending time together) [...]
