School and Work

Well our life is about to get exciting and busy. Justin is starting school today and is very excited for his turn to go to school. He'll be working part time while he is going to school full time. Justin was also called to be 2nd counselor in the Young Mens presidency in our ward. He'll be very busy. I really appreciate him and all that he does for us.

I am loving my job at the pediatric office. I'm not able to get the hours I want yet, but I will be able to soon once the dentistry for teens side opens. That will be opening in November. In the mean time, I'll be working through a temp agency to fill my time until I am able to get the time I need and want at my office. Patience. :)

We are enjoying our time here. We love being so close to family. It has been a lot of fun to learn and grow together during this time in our life.

Living the Dream

Well, things are falling into place for Justin and I. I had an interview on Monday at a pediatric dental office and it went really well. They asked me to come back for a working interview for today and I went and worked for an afternoon. It went really well. It went so well that I got the job!! I will be working 25-30 hrs a week for the time being. After the "Dentistry for Teens" side of the office is opened I'll be able to get more hours, even 40 if I wanted it. So, I've gotten the job I've dreamed about my whole life. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to continue to learn!!

Here is the website for the office. . check it out. .It really is amazing!

I cut off 8 inches of hair. . finally I don't pull my hair on accident anymore. :)

Left Idaho with a BANG!

Our time in Idaho came to a close fairly quickly. The last week there we help Justin's sister and brother-in-law move into their place and turned around and packed our place up. With little sleep all week we were anxious to arrive home in Oregon. Saturday night before we left Justin noticed the back right tire was loosing air quickly so he put on a snow tire just to get us home. And so our adventure began early Sunday morning. Joe, Justin's dad, was driving the Budget truck with Jaylen, Jami (Justin's mom) and Grandmother were in our nissan, and Justin and I were in his truck. We were traveling together but Joe was about 20 miles ahead of us. While Justin and I were driving we checked behind us to see if the nissan was there and much to our confusion it wasn't. Immediately we knew something wasn't right. Turns out that Jami and Nonnie had a blow out and ended up doing a 360 in the middle of the freeway going 75mph. Luckily they were being watched over because they were not injured at all. It is a miracle nothing really bad happened. We did what we could to fix our other tire that was loosing air and put that on the car. Justin and I drove the car the rest of the way home and Jami drove the truck. It was a long day. A 13 hr drive turned into a 15 hour drive, but hey at least we got good gas milage.

Getting Sentimental

Two years ago to the day Justin and I started to officially date. There is some debate on whether or not it happened earlier but regardless it was the beginning one way or the other. I remember the day well. It was a hard yet sweet day for Justin and I. I was moving to La Grande to start dental hygiene school and Justin was getting ready to begin another semester at BYU-I. The morning of the 31st Justin came down to Philomath to help my family and I pack up my Uhaul. . I can't believe I needed a uhaul, and then he went back up to Portland. I went up to Portland shortly after to spend some time with Justin before I left for La Grande. We went to the Rose Garden in Portland and wandered around and eventually sat ourselves down on a bench and took some pictures. That is where we had our first kiss :) I don't remember much after that other than we had to say goodbye for a little while. It was hard and we knew the long distance thing was going to be difficult, but we knew we were in for the long hall. Two years later I could not have asked for a better person to spend my life and eternity with. I love him with all my heart!
