August, .... almost over

Over the last few weeks a lot has happened. We received two tickets to Silverwood Amusement Park and used them on one of the only days that I had off before he starts school. It rained while we were there and made the day cooler than we had hoped for. We played in the waterpark and went on the rides. We had a really fun day and wished the rain would have stayed away.
Then the next day we spent with his family helping his Grandma Holley out around her house. I got to watch the little children and take care of the youngest girl who was 7 weeks old. She was so cute and fun to hold. She is the newest daughter for Charles' older sister, Val.
That night (Saturday 15th) we went to a Baseball game in Spokane and it was nice weather until the 5th inning. Then the rain came down and put a temporary game delay for about 20 minutes or so. We still enjoyed the game and the spokane Indians won the game anyway.
The last week has been filled with work and Charles getting things set for school shich starts on the 24th--Tomorrow!!!! For now he will have to commute until we can find a place down there.
I have been reading the blogs of my friends and have noticed that a lot of life changes have been taking place- babies, divorce, finishing school, and all kinds of other things. It is amazing where life takes us. No matter what we must trust in the Lord and follow His ways to find the true happiness that we were all born to find.
May the best friends stick beside all of us and keep us in prayers.
Crazy how another month of 2009 is almost over.

Life is always about change

Well we have had an eventful week. Charles has applied for college at North Idaho College and he is in. He starts at the end of this month and since it is in Coeur d'Alene we will be moving there so he does not need to drive over a hour everyday. We just found a cute home but we will need to find one there. Enough said for now. So we are excited for him but also kind of sad that we are moving yet again.

4 Years of Marriage

Reflecting on my time with my husband- On Wednesday August 5th is our 4 year anniversary. It has gone by fast at times and it has been hard at times. On the other hand we have had some really wonderful times and I would not trade our marriage for anything in this world...actually I would not trade it for anything at all!!!!!
Four years ago we were preparing to be sealed in the salt lake temple. I still remember the way he looked at me as we were in the celestial room prior to our sealing-- the happiness and love that I felt from him and for him will last an eternity!!!! I will let you know the fun things that we do to celebrate--Don't worry it will all be clean!!! :)
However after 4 years of marriage, the one thing that we have desired the whole time is to have childern!! We have run into medical problems and still keep praying. I guess that the Lord has His own time for us to have children, but I hope it is soon. I want to be a mom so badly!!! I hear of friends and family who are pregnant and I am excited for them, but I also hope to be pregnant too. Congrats to all who have had kids over the last few years and to all those who are pregnant now. It is a wonderful thing to have happen in marriage.

Living in our new place

There are a few things that I miss from other places we have lived. We do not have internet, at this time at least, since we can not afford to pay for it yet. It came included in our rent for every other place that we have lived. So now we have to make do by going to his parents house, or some place that has wifi. Also we do not have a dishwasher, but that is not a big deal since most of our marriage we have done the dishes in the sink.
Another thing that we miss is cable- we enjoyed watching the Disney channel, Hallmark Channel and some of our favorite tv shows such as: Touched by an Angel, Walker Texas Ranger, Hanana Montana, and disney movies that were on. But there again it is not a big deal but it is nice to have it when you can.
Other than that we love our new place and hope to be there for awhile.

Moving...Again!!!

So in July we found out that Charles' Grandma had a prompting to rent out her house. This meant that we needed to find a new place to live. There are not too many places around Priest River to rent but when you pray there is a way to find something to meet the needs that you have. So we heard about a little blue apartment to rent and went to look at it. Here is what we saw!!!

We thought that we would have a little more time before we moved out of his grandma's basement but we ended up all moving on July 24 and 25 to two different places. Grandma moved in with Charles' parents and we moved to the little blue house on Hwy 57 (9th St). It is just north of Priest River High school. In one week it is all set up. Here are the pictures of what it looked like while we were unpacking- which Charles did most of while I was working at wal-Mart.
