*Just For You*

“This is my prayer for all of us—'Lord, increase our faith.' Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. . . . Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. . . . Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequence follow.” -Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

TJ and I took the most fabulous walk today. I was so tired of being cooped upDSC00831 in the house. I woke up this morning and the sun was shining, and it actually felt warm! It was so nice to get out of the house for a while. We were having such a good time…we just walked and walked. It ended up being over an hour! TJ was about falling asleep by the time we got back. It felt so good to get some sunlight on my face. Oh how I love the sun! But man do those mountains look glorious in the snow. I am so thankful for the beautiful place that I live. I will miss being able to walk just a few blocks and be in the “country”. That is one of my favorite things about Spanish Fork. We are in the perfect location. But it will be nice when we are closer to Tim’s work and school.  I will miss my little bit of countryside though!

Trying to get a good pic of TJ and Milo, but of course Milo is way too interested in whatever is on the ground. Usually nothing.

Hello World

Soooooo. Yeah. Not much going on these days. Tim is going to school full time {13 credits!!} and working full time @ Sprint so he is gone for about 12 hours most days. Its CrAzInEsS! I am so proud of him and hope he can stick it out. I really am rooting for him. So because of his long days away from the house TJ and I spend most days playing legos, learning his letters and numbers, and watching Blues Clues or Dora the Explorer. I have been sick lately {barf-a-roni}…not horribly, just enough to make me not want to do A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G! I am so super proud of myself if I get the dishes in the dishwasher and give TJ a bath. haha. I guess this is a routine I will have to get used to for a long while until Tim finishes school. I was pretty spoiled when he was home everyday for like 3 months. Except we were broke then so we didn’t really do much either. But things were a little more exciting than they have been this January. We are just twiddling our thumbs waiting to close on our house. It seems like each time we get close – it gets dragged out another few weeks. I am desperate for a project and packing up this house will be a good one. I am sad to leave our beautiful house and amazing neighbors, but also so excited to be closer to Tim’s work and school. That way he can come home for lunch everyday! That will be so fantastic. All in all life is good. We miss our family that is so far away and wish we could fly to Oregon and Missouri once a month. Someday maybe haha!
