My Calling!

So I led the music in Sacrament today! Scary and fun. There was this adorable little boy about two rows from the back that kept waving at me. Haha. I think he thought I was waving. WAY TOO CUTE. It was tons of fun. I found out they had a Tai Pan Trading in the Orem mall. BAD NEWS. That is like my favorite store. And on the day I got paid I just had to go in and buy a Christmas wreath. I just love it so much. Not a whole lot else going on. Still searching for my camera :( I need TJ's first birthday video or I might just DIE!

Hey!

Just sitting here at work watching Oprah. Love that show. We don't have any cable at our place these days so this is pretty much the only way I stay caught up on world events. And I just love Oprah. I have decided I need to keep a better record of our lives (thanks Family History lessons on Sunday =P) I feel just a bit guilty of not keeping a journal. I used to write almost every night..and then I felt like I was just writing meaningless things over and over again. I always would say to myself "Well when I'm married I will have more things to write about." and then once I got married I started writing again (like once) and thought "There really is nothing going on. I'll write more once I have kids. They keep life pretty interesting." And now I have a baby..and I have totally not written one thing in my journal in YEARS. And I still feel like nothing interesting happens to write about..lol. Funny how life does that. The grass is always greener...or so they say. Tim and I are definitely in a rut these days. We have been doing the same thing week to week. A: Because we don't have TIME to do anything fun. B: Because we don't have any $$$ to do anything fun. C: Because we work opposite shifts and sometimes don't even see each other for over 24 hours. D: We only have ONE CAR right now so even when Tim is gone I can't leave the house. E: We're both just too tired to do anything. Yeah theres a lot of different variables and it is really REALLY starting to wear on us. We keep hoping that we will have a big change in our future *fingers crossed* but it feels like we will be doing this FOREVER. Every day is a little bit more draining. We are praying to keep our spirits up and have a positive attitude but after 5 months of the same week to week terrible routine it gets so hard. I don't know how people live like this. I can't stand the feeling of unsecurity and fatigue. Not a good combo. Anyways I probably sound like I'm about to jump off a bridge or something lol. We really are so happy but so drained all in the same breath. We know good things are on the horizon and both are SO grateful that we even have good jobs. We know so many people are in such worse situations than us right now. I just feel so uninteresting! And I miss my friends! I just keep saying to myself "Baby steps. One foot in front of the other!" I know we will get through this junk!

BLAH!

 OK so I really am getting so lazy with this. I wanted to post so many times but I lost my camera and don't think I'm a very interesting "typer"...so I have been putting it off. BUT I have some really fun pictures from over the summer. Delila sent them to me. I am totally bummed about losing my camera. There are some classic photos on there that I need to find (TJ 1st birthday party, 2nd Lake Powell trip :( and other things that I have forgotten cuz its been so long) seriously freaking out a little bit.

*Hanging out with Great Snookie! A little too busy lookin a the fan for picture time!

*Max decided to make an appearance!

 

 

Tim and I have been super busy. Both working full time is not the ideal situation we had planned out once babies (or baby..not plural yet) were in the picture. But hopefully this will just be a learning and growing experience for us to look back on. Not a lot has been going on in the last few months. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary! October 26th was the big day! That was lots of fun. We had a good Halloween. TJ went trick-or-treating with Aunt Dee and Uncle Charlie to like three houses and then came home :D. We're kinda lame in the costume department. Ended up dressing him in sweats and passing him off as a basketball player. Pretty much he won't remember anyway so I'm not to worried about it.

*Playing with Uncle Charlie**Just a couple of Toe Heads*

We got our first calling in the ward! YAY! We had like over 1000 people so they finally split it and found something for us to do. We are the ward music directors. So far we just pick the hymns and lead the music in Sacrament, but we might end up being over the ward choir :S...kinda scary. But we'll see where it goes.

That’s pretty much the biggest news these days! Oh TJ has 7 teeth! It seems like a lot but he is 14 months. Not quite walking on his own just yet. He likes to hold on to everything and walk along the couch and windows and stuff. He has a new found fascination with the dishwasher. I can't keep him away from that thing. We're getting by one day at a time!

*We loved going to see Uncle Boo (JB) play some football!

 

*Momma cheesin it up!

 

 

 

*Do I seriously have to sit with these people? (Classic face TJ)
