Home Sweet Home

So, you all have to give me props. I think I am doing much better at posting, now if I can make a better effort at posting pictures...

So, after a very hectic two weeks, it feels great to be home. Now we just have to get back to the swing of things and back to a schedule. Jeff started school today and I am on the hunt for a new job. Preferably one that will allow me to work part time so I can finish my bachelors degree this year (YIPPY!!!)

So much has happend lately, life has changed. But in the midst of it all, I have really blessed in many ways and I know that bigger and better things are yet to come.

Less than a week ago, I lost my job. However, unlike usual, I didn't feel stressed about it. It was that same day I found out that I put, myself together and updated my resume and started to deliver them. The next day, I emailed about 45 resumes. On Saturday, I recieved a phone call from a Dr. that I worked for a little at the begining of last year who wants an interview on Wednesday. And today I got a call requesting an interview as well.

In short, this experience increased my testimony that the Lord really does have a plan for each one of us. I could have been upset that I lost my job, but I know that because I chose to act rather than to be acted upon, I was blessed.

We will see what happens. Stay tuned :)

School is out for the summa!

Oh my goodness. I know that this post is a long time coming. Is it not amazing how so much seems to happen in such a short amount of time??? It really feels like it was JUST last week that I finished up summer semester when in actuality it has been almost a month already. Within that short time, I was able to finish my summer class with an A, Jeff and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary and traveled all over Utah and to Boise visiting family.

Our anniversary was awesome! Because we never really got to enjoy a honeymoon after we got married, Jeff and I took a few extra days off of work to celebrate. I had no idea what to do for him, so after racking my brain for weeks, I decided to see if I could buy some Japanese Melon Pan (one of his favorite treats from his mission) on line. Unfortunately, to my dissmay, it was pretty expensive, so I did the next best thing and looked for a recipie.

Haha, call me clueless, but I had no idea that Japan used a completely different measuring system. All of the recipies I found were calling for 300 grams of flower...etc. Fourtunately, I found a blog that had translated the recipie. I felt as though I has struck gold! I prayed that it would turn out, considering I only had Jeff's description to go off of (a sweet roll with cookie topping). They kind of turned out like this:

I must admit, I was pretty impressed with myself. He LOVED it!

Anyway, Jeff had some tricks up his sleeves as well. We spent one of the days with some friends at Bear Lake. When we got back, Jeff unleashed his suprise :)

I knew that we were going out for dinner, but I had no idea where. After we got ready, we were walking out the door and there is a 1991 Cadilac limo pulled up to the front of our apartment. Haha! I must have been confused, because I continued walking to our car. So, we went to dinner at Iron Gate Grill (where we went on our first date when I came to visit). After that, we went to play miniature golf, and then finished up the evening with ice cream. We really had a great time :)
