Living in Idaho

I guess living in Idaho isn't ALL bad! There really is beauty all around! (That's the Temple across the Canyon... by the way!)

Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day this year Justin took me to dinner and to a movie. We had fun. He gave me a teddy bear, a picture frame, some chocolate, and a single red rose! I sent him balloons at work! Justin also ordered me an amazingly beautiful bracelet! It was supposed to be here on Valentine's Day, but I still don't have it yet :,( I can't wait to get it so I can wear it! Anyway...We had a fun Valentine's date!

US!

So I was looking at our page today and realized that there are no pictures of Justin and I, and it is OUR page! So here we are. Life is pretty good for us right now. We are just hangin' in there, counting down the days to Justin's graduation (15 months!).
Not much has changed recently. Our dog, Skooter, got hit by a car a few weeks back. Justin was heartbroken, it was terrible. We still miss him.

Other than that everything is good. Justin is working on a remodel right now. He is doing a kitchen, family room and dining room. I know, like he isn't busy enough as it is. The good thing is that he doesn't really have a time limit. He can work on it at his own pace, but anyone who knows Justin knows that he will work his butt off to get it done in good time. So between the remodel and school, he will be very busy!

Tennessee Three

A few weeks back Justin and I took our niece, Jaxi to the Tennessee Three concert. For those of you who don't know, Tennessee Three is the same band that played with Johnny Cash. The girl in the red shirt is Scarlett. She first sang on stage with June Carter. The man is Bob Wootton. He was Johnny's lead guitarist and good friend. As some of you may already know, Jaxi is a huge Johnny Cash fan. She was so excited! She had a huge grin on her face the whole time. I think that those are the moments that parents must live for. The moments when their child’s smile shines brighter than the sun. It feels like, for just that single moment in time, the world has stopped and everything that was bogging you down is nonexistant. At least thats how it felt when I watched Jaxi enjoy the concert. And I like to imagine that it will feel like that when I have my own children. Anyway, we had fun and it was as close as Jaxi (and Justin & I) will ever get to seeing Johnny Cash play live.

New Job

I started a new job about three weeks ago. I am working in the Pre-School at our elementary school in Wendell. I love it. I work with 3 to 5 year olds all day long. It is so great, the kids are so much fun. I think I learn as much, if not more, from them as they do from me. It is the most rewarding job I have ever had. I absolutely love it!
Justin is working for his sponsering dealership right now. He goes back to school March 10th. He will finish out the semester at school and then work through the summer. For now he is loving working at the dealership. He gets to work on cars all day! Its great to see him come home from a hard day at work and know that he doesn't dread going back the next day.
