Yahhhoooo

Ever since we moved to Connecticut (you know, for that week?) Tyler has been regretting quitting at Bath and Body Works. He loved it there because of his awesome boss and the opportunity to work so closely with the customers.

This past week, he was offered another job with them (yeah!) and will be making significantly more money than he was making at Zija. In fact, he'll be making salary because he's going to be the new co-manager.

We are so excited about this! Both the money and the fact that Tyler will love his job again. It's a win win situation, for sure.

Nothing Really

Tyler and I feel really bad that we have nothing to blog about on this blog. I wish we had some really cool update or something, but we definitely don't.

We're both just busy busy (busy) with work and school. I throw in crafts to my day as well to support my blog baby. If you haven't already, you should become a follower! I almost have 200, so that's really exciting!

Hm, and to make this post a little less boring here's some pictures. Of Oscar, of course.

Yaaaahoooo!

Can't wait to watch! It's all DVRed and ready to go for when Tyler get's home!
(Have I meantioned how much I love that he watches all my shows with me?)

A few thoughts

It seems like lately, my miscarriage is on my mind a lot. I'm not sure why. It's just been lingering on my mind.
I was okay for the first few months afterward, but lately it's just hit me like a ton of bricks.
I feel so broken. And sometimes, I feel so hopeless.

It gets so frustrating, because Tyler and I both feel like it's time for us to have babies and it's just not working out for us.

So, rather than feeling horrible about myself 24/7, I decided that something had to be done to make me feel better. Then, I remembered an email that my (step) sister Abbie wrote me. I read that thing over and over. It was all about faith.

Suddenly, I realized why I was having such a hard time with all of this. I was lacking faith completely. Why didn't that click earlier?

So, I took her advice and began reading the Book of Mormon topically... I looked up faith, and the first scripture there was 1 Nephi 7:12

Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.

It's like that scripture was written for me, personally. I just need to have faith.
After reading that scripture, I immediately felt comforted.

Then, for some reason, I wanted to hear my favorite hymn, I Know That My Redeemer Lives, and I found this awesome video.




Wow.

"He lives to silence all my fears. He lives to wipe away my tears. He lives to calm my troubled heart. He lives all blessings to impart"

I am so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful church. I'm so blessed to be a daughter of our Heavenly Father, and to be able to feel as if his arms are around me when I need it most.

try not to fall too in love

...Because I already have.

We Moved!

Whoa. Has it been long enough since we last updated?

Since we wrote last, a lot has happened. Probably the biggest change that's happened in our life is that we have moved (finally) to a cute little apartment in Provo. It's been great to us so far, and we're loving being out on our own again. Our "move" Connecticut REALLY set us back, and we're finally back on our feet. It feels great!
I will post pictures of our cute little place soon. In the mean time, come over and play Rock Band or something!

On a different note...Does anyone have any good Crock Pot recipes? Tyler and I are trying our hardest to cook every night instead of eating fast food. So far, it's going well.
Once school starts, it might get a little hectic!

One Year Ago....

One year ago I was getting really nervous and couldn't wait for another second to marry this beautiful girl.....


It had been something incredible! We met, and had a hard time staying AWAY from each other. I couldn't believe that it was possible to love somebody so much! We were best friends after two weeks, and eternal companions after 6 months.

One year ago I was amazed at how fast things had changed. I was sad about life. Things weren't going my way. I was living in monotony until I met this girl....


Finally, I had a reason to be excited to come home at the end of the day. Finally, I had a reason to work hard and save up my money for something special. One year later I work hard so she has the best life possible at this stage of our life together.

One year ago if you mentioned crafts, blogging, Diet Coke or HGTV to me it would have ment absolutely nothing to me. Until I met this girl.....


Now I see crafts as something that my beautiful wife has an amazing talent at (don't believe me? got to Her Craft Blog). Blogging is something where I can learn about our lives, my friends, and families lives also.... thanks to my lovely wife. Diet Coke... we were addicted I won't admit it, but it was fun making late night runs to the gas station or walmart to get a coke so we could satisfy the urge. HGTV... houses didn't mean much to me before, but now thanks to my gorgeous wife I get to watch people change their homes and lives, and I have found out that I too one day want to be able to own a home and help her decorate it.

One year ago I was thankful for the church and the temple, but never comprehended the incredible amount of joy I could feel with a companion. Until I met this girl.....

Once I met this girl I understood what it was to feel the joy of having that special person be only a text, call or rollover away from you. She helped me to comprehend that it's important to be constantly living the gospel so we can strive to be together forever. She has helped and helps me through difficult things going on in my life that I don't have to deal with by myself any more.
Acting as a rock in my life and a shoulder to lean or cry on.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

To THE ONE who means EVERYTHING to me! You'll never know or comprehend how much it is that I love you! Your eyes light up my life, and your smile makes me melt every time I see it. I never want to be apart from you for a second in my life! I know that it doesn't matter what I do in life, how much I make or where we live because ALL of my dreams already came true the day that I married you. I love you always and forever!!
