Blessed

Woody and I have seen countless blessings since we have been married and many of which have surrounded money.

1. Last fall when I moved back I was looking for a new job to start. I applied for a secretarial job at BYUB and once I was hired my supervisor told me that she already gave the job to three other girls who turned it down (because they got a different job). This job was preserved for me by the Lord as I was able to do to my homework while at work so that after school I could focus on wedding plans. It also has paid very well and I have LOVED this job (even though I sometimes complain)

2. When Woody broke his leg we had ZERO health insurance for him. His expenses after a surgery, three day hospital stay, ambulance ride were pretty high. We were blessed by the Lord then to get financial aid through the hospital and the surgeon's office that reduced our bill to a payable amount.

3. We were both able to receive grants that cover all of our tuition and books expenses

4. I have recently been looking for a new job as my school schedule does not comply with my receptionist job at BYUB. I have applied at numerous places but to no avail. i was planning on Friday being my last day at BYUB my supervisor asked me to come in Monday since she wasn't ready for me to leave. On Monday (today) after I finished my shift I got another job at BYUB!!!! A girl that I know sort of made up a position for me to have and I will be able to make my own schedule and will get paid a whole lot more than I could have imagined (seeing as how I was applying mostly for waitress positions who get paid like 2.30 an hour!!)

I know that Heavenly Father is watching over Woody and I and has taken good care of us since we have been married. Although this trials may not seem that bad on here, but going through all of them has been tough and I am grateful for the Lord that has helped us come out on top at the end.

Bye bye summer

It has come to the saddest point of the year: the End of Summer

I believe that everyone agrees (except my mom who thinks the saddest day of the year is when she has to take down all her Christmas decorations.. I'd say that is a close second in my book)

I sigh as I think about all my warm summer days disappearing. It is just plain sad how cold it gets up here (unless you talk to heather who has no AC). It's pretty cold in the mornings and evenings right now and warm enough during the day to be comfortable in pants. sigh.. if only it'd stay warmer a little bit longer, then i'd be very pleased.

My favorite day of this summer, was a simple one yet wonderful :) I had worked in the morning and when I came home wood and I went on a bun... he rides his bike while I run. Afterwards we got in the pool for a cool off and he taught me the proper way to shoot a basketball... apparently I have no technique at all... or is my lack of technique my technique?? Following basketball we grabbed some lunch at McDonalds (ya.. we really aren't healthy) and then just hung out at home

Good news: Fall is on it's way. I love how the colors change and all of my favorite holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the premier of HARRY POTTER .. decorations are a must for ALL events :)

HarRY PoTteR

When Woody and I first got married we moved into his grandparent's basement apartment up in Alpine. This meant that everyday we had at least 45 minutes to drive to Provo and then another 45 minutes to drive back home. As such we started the habit of listening to books on tape. During this time we listened to the Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites books and also... Harry Potter. It has been a few months now and I am again re-reading Harry Potter. I LOVE HARRY POTTER!! I think that I am partially (completely) obsessed. I started with the third book and I am now on the fifth. Don't worry I will finish them all before school begins therefore I won't have them as distractions. I also love watching the movies and it drives woody bonkers how often I suggest we watch them.. But just so you know I am SO EXCITED for the seventh movieS to come out.. I'm going to the midnight showing.... maybe, I want to but we'll see.
