We're baaacckk!!

So I know it's been a while.  I'm not the best at writing consistently but I will try to work on it!
Kyle and I are living well down in Ogden, Utah.  I just finished my first year of teaching junior high FACS and am very glad for the time to relax. :) It was a great year but one can spend too much time with teenagers.  Kyle finished a year of school at Weber State University here in Ogden and has been working with the college basketball team.  He will be moving up the ladder next year from team manager to video coordinator!! We are very excited and hoping this will give more opportunities in the future as well. :)
We teach the CTR 6 kids in church and we have soo much fun! They are so sweet and cute and chatty! 
We just passed our 2 year mark of a wonderful marriage and are looking forward to what the future brings for us.
Here we come summer!!

6 Months!

Well, Kyle and I have happily made it to 6 months of being married!! Life is awesome! Life is fun!
I noticed today that Natalie and I chose the same layout for our blogs...great minds think alike!!! :D
Kyle recently got a job at the Bountiful Costco, so he gets to commute for a little bit now when I go to school just down the street at Ogden High School instead of in Kaysville.
 We attended an endowment session at the Salt Lake City Temple a few weeks ago and it was amazing! We were on our way to Bountiful one Saturday and Kyle decided to keep driving and we attended Salt Lake instead. Wonderful idea! It was beautiful and we got to spend some time together in the Holy Temple.

 Halloween came and left really quick this year. We did get a pumpkin, but I waited until 2 days before so it was really cheap. This allowed me to get a 30 pounder for a real good price!! Kyle was a little shocked at the size of the pumpkin I bought. I don't mess around with my halloween pumpkin! haha Earlier that week I was given a small pumpkin from school that they used in a preschool activity. So I carved it up too!! Here was this years creation!
Sadly, we did not have any Trick or Treaters.  I was prepared, but when no one came by Kyle and I were given the opportunity to eat a bit of candy that I had stashed in the cupboard.  I am still eating the last of it with some chocolate cravings I've got after school.  :P

Then came our 6 month anniversary on November 13.  It was a Sunday, so we didn't go do anything special, but we decided to make chinese for dinner.  We LOVE chinese! So we had just a couple egg roll wrappers left, a few veggies and meat that would work, and extra fortune cookies we had snagged from a restaurant a bit earlier, and had ourselves a great meal! We cooked together and watched a movie and then had to do the dishes together because cooking chinese uses a lot of pots and pans!

I have recently been applying for a couple jobs in the area for when I am done student teaching.  No word from them yet but am looking forward to hearing something shortly. Tune in later!

We are thankful for everything the Lord has blessed us with, our marriage in the temple, Kyle's job, our home, and our family.
Thanks everyone for your love and support!
