Thanksgiving

This past weekend was wonderful. I truly have so much to be grateful for. My number one thing that I am grateful for is my family. They are beautiful and wonderful in every way. Justin and I went to my parent's home for Thanksgiving this year. This picture was taken right before we ate dinner. We went to a nearby park and took a few pictures in the rain. We think we got pretty lucky considering we only took three pictures. :)
I went shopping with my sisters the day after Thanksgiving. We had fun and got most of what we wanted or needed to get. Audrey got a Wii. It was pretty fun to see the ENTIRE family get into it. Our shoulders and arms are literally sore from playing so much. I am looking forward to spending more time with my family soon! I love you guys!

Halloween

Halloween this year was pretty low key. I was sick the whole week and then Justin got sick the night before Halloween. . .so we ended up staying home for a good part of the day. Unfortunately we missed out on a Beaver game and time with my family. Sad. . but we didn't want to share this bug. Jaylen got to go trunk-or-treating and Justin and I stayed home. I worked on my quilt and Justin and Joe watched the Oregon football game. So exciting. . . we did carve pumpkins however and they turned out pretty cute. I designed mine. . It is a witch on a broom. :) I'll spare you the pictures with me in them.. I took to wearing my pjs all week and no makeup. . haha.

Logan

Justin grew up with a "brother" other than Jaylen and James. Brandon lived with him for quite a while when Justin was in high school and while he was on his mission. Point is. . Brandon got married at the Logan temple on the 24th of October and we were able to make the trip to be there. Here are a few pics from the trip. We had a good time with the family. We were only missing Jaylen and Mallorie on this trip.

Family time!

Mom called me one night and asked me if I would like to join Avril and the kids on a trip to La Grande to visit my Grandmother who has had some health issues that have gotten worse with time. I quickly jumped on board with the idea. We had a great weekend. I got to see a lot of family! It was so nice. Hallie was my little side kick!It was so cute she wanted to sleep next to me the whole trip. It was pretty sweet! Avril and the kids and I stayed with our Grandma H. It was so fun! Here are some pics from the trip.

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.

Going Private. .

We've decided to go private with our blog so if you want to stay in the loop with our blog please post your e-mail or send it to me via facebook or e-mail and I will make sure to add you so you can read it. Thanks all!!!

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!
