FEBRUANY

So to be honest not to toot my own horn but I thought I had let my blog go but turns out I updated it about a month ago so looks like I am staying up to date! TOOT TOOT!!So last time we all talked we had just finished Christmas and how fun was that? So we started out on our new year! Kevin started another school semester and is still working! I am as well STILL working! I enjoy it though and I feel pretty blessed to have the job I do! These days me and Kevin feel like the Lord has been showing us so much in just these short past months. We feel as though there is so much going on around us that he is showing us look at how lucky you are and how much I have blessed you with and this is true! I love this Gospel more than I could ever tell anyone or show anyone for that matter! Just to share a short story here I remember one time in my life where I feel Courtney(my sister) and I were just going through some hard times in life! We were trying to figure out how this grown up thing goes and where and what exactly we were doing in our life's. I remember Courtney once telling my mom I don't think I believe in Joseph Smith or in our religion. I remember hearing here and just starting to cry because I couldn't deny what I knew and I just didn't understand. To this day I still think about that moment and that time in my life and think how could I ever deny that! I don't think I can! When me and Kevin started in our ward I hated it. I kept comparing it to my last ward and even my Alamosa singles ward and how there weren't so many people and everyone was friendly and here they just already had there clicks and I hated it! Over the months me and Kevin have tried to submerge ourselves in our ward and have realized HELLO wake up call the people in our ward are so fun and our Bishop is AMAZING!! We are really starting to love Rexburg and the lifestyle that comes with so the least I hope you get out of this is that me and Kevin have been blessed immensely! I have really felt the love of my Father in Heaven and know he knows Kevin and I's personally needs! Okay onto other matters of business. So Kevster and I have been on the search for a car since November and these were our standards. It had to be below 4,000 the cheaper the better. 2000 or newer and have less than 115,000 miles. Let me tell you that is so hard especially because Kevin and I are both very stubborn whether he will admit that or not. So we put it off for a while then in January I just decided to start looking again and we test drove and test drove and then we finally found thee one! We test drove it twice and took it to a mechanic and everything checked out we just had to get new tires and we offered them less so it worked out right! Wrong the day we got it I drove it to Idaho Falls to get new tires and in the midst I tell Kev that I think it is overheating! Of course he can't believe I didn't say anything sooner but I just wasn't sure if I was right or not but then finally I spilled the beans and good thing I did because we took it back to another mechanic who said it had a blown head gasket and finale.... it would cost 1200 bucks to fix! SHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA right! Not happening so my fiesty little but got on the phone and told those people either they would pay for it or it would be sitting in there drive way with in the next 5 min! Long story short they hesitantly decided to pay for it and don't worry they just needed me to give them a little push! LIKE I SAID EARLIER HOLY BLESSING!! We definitely did not have the money for that so none the less it is now our little car and is all fixed up. It needs new rotors and struts really bad to but we are trying to put that off for a little while. HERE'S OUR LITTLE BABY!! HAHA YET TO BE NAMED PLEASE COMMENT WITH SUGGESTIONS.
Kevin wants to name it Rocky cause it had a rough start but heck no I think that is lame so yeah we will wait! We mostly share cars just whoever is driving more that day gets little whitey and the other gets to keep rollin with big spender Hunter Stetson Jack ( our Isuzu Rodeo that I LOVE) So anyways thank goodness that all worked out to out benefit. I am trying to tell you what all Kev and I have been up to but I feel like we just eat, sleep, work, repeat. Oh yeah this semester we set up a bowling league with some of our friends who recently got married and that is a lot of fun. Kevin and I joined the ward volleyball team and Kevin joined the ward Basketball team. Kevin loves to go to the gym and play pick up basketball games and while he does that I go to Zumba! My old roommate teaches a class at campus and she is so great at it! I love when she teaches she always picks fun songs and not just the mexicany ones. It's so hard to get all pumped up when all you hears is AHHHHYYYYYY YYYYYYYYIIIIIIII YYYYYYYYYIIII hello I don't even know what that song is saying how am I supposed to get all pumped up by that? Oh yea right I can't! So anyways she is really great and we have fun doing that it keeps our lives sane! Oh another project me and Kevin completed this year was our dresser we bought through his work and had to build it turned our great actually and I love it! It is dark black and has 3 drawers on each side and holds the T.V. at just the right level for me to lay in bed and watch all my favorite shows!! hahaha! Love my shows. Kevin and I have taken the privileged of having Blayne and Rachel near by and go to see them to have some fun! They are always good for some entertainment as well as their kids and Rachel always makes something BOMB to eat. This week we went up on Saturday and they took us out to eat at a place in I.F. called SMITTY's OH.MY.GOODNESS. There french toast is the bomb.com and let me tell one thing more to make this blog longer than it needs to be! I HATE,LOATH,DESPISE birth control. It's these little blue pills that keep you from having a baby but make you feel like you just want to PUKE every single day of the week and make you sick and just wanna lay in bed and be a lame-O but don't worry I'm not lame I still go and do things but Kevin just has to listen to me complain about how they should make boys take it and I hate it so on and so forth. Anyways I was feeling nasty but that french toast straightened me right up. So maybe I was just hungry and NO everyone I am not pregnant trust me you will all know when that happens cause I can't wait til I have a little Bentley Ty or a little Colt Lane. ALso those names I dibbs mine and no one reading this thinking about having a kid or having a kid may not have the privileged of stealing my kids names. GREAT GREAT! Well I hope you all are doing well. We love you all and again are so blessed! HAVE AN AWESOME FEBRUARY!
