Well, another week has gone by and i've been a terrible blogger. Last i bloged about John being sick, but as soon as i finished it hit me and we've both had terrible chest colds ever since, although the last few days we've been feeling better well, just still stuffed up. Last night Manti took state in basketball, we went down to Richfield to watch and it was pretty exciting! Then today for dinner we're having our hometeachers and their wives over for dinner. It should be fun, but we weren't really planning on it so we only have a tiny 2 lb roast, i'm just hoping its going to be enough...

Well, its been a while...

Well, to start off with, We had a mishap with the car bumper. I guess John was just backing up, and didn't know he was on a volcano shaped thing of ice, so as he backed up it ripped the bumper right in half and almost off. We figure its good enough for now but i guess soon enough we'll have to go visit ol Doug....again. Anyway, its been a little crazy past few days, for one, John and i decided to go watch Peter wrestle up in orem on Thursday, for valentines because neither of us had work or school, it was fun and we went to the temple but it wasn't until we got home, that night, around 8:30 that we realized that we were supposed to take a sister in our ward who just had a baby dinner that night. Needless to say, they had already eaten something and i haven't stopped feeling terrible about it yet. I've got to make it up to her somehow...any ideas? The rest of her meals are already planned for a while, so i don't know what to do. Anyway, Valentines day was fun besides that, when we got home from Provo, John had planned and prepared my favorite meal (cincinati Chili) for us! His mom had came by while we were still gone and set it all up with candles and flower and we even got a brand new red table cloth. It was exciting and so fun and yummy but i do think it stressed out his mom pretty bad, i feel really bad about that. We really appreciate all our family does for us since we do live so close, its really nice and they are all wonderful! Anyway, i get to teach the lesson at church tomorrow, so i need to start preparing. John usually is a huge help in preparing my lessons but he's sick in bed today, really aching with a sore throat and stomach, and cough. Its no fun watching him hurt. I hate it, but for now he seems to sleeping soundly so thats a plus. Anyway, remember the honeymoon? When John got in the hot tub with my brand new, 3 month old camera in his pocket? Well, for Valentines day he also replaced it so now i have a brand new camera! And i am so excited to use it! Here's just a few pictures we took to try it out, it works pretty good!
Anyway, life is good, once John's feeling better and lesson is over, it'll be even better!

Just some pic's

Simeon is so fun! He (with the help of some siblings i think) made us these cookies. Natalie said the holding hands was all his idea... He loves to come visit us all the time but we don't mind, he makes me smile. On our way to the temple yesterday, notice my cute temple bag, its actuallly my moms but i'm sort of attached....

So this is what me and John do everytime We have a spare second, its really fun and John doesn't get too mad when i always win (wink, wink).

False Alarm!!!

Well I know if just posted that my husband was sick a few hours ago, but i we just heard from the Doctor that his TB is not active. Thank goodness for that. It is in it's latent phase so he does have to take antibiotics everyday for 9 MONTHS! Crazy I know but thats the only way to make sure it doesn't become active and contagious.

This snow is insane and i'm loving it.... So we've decided that there really isn't much to blog about without kids but i'll keep trying anyway, its official that we're moving to Logan in August. I've got a full tuition scholarship so hopefully i'll be able to graduate with my degree in exercise science in about a year, and John probably has 2-3 more years there. Sounds like we'll got there just in time for Dan and Steph to leave, if they really are leaving. Oh well, we're so excited to get to Logan, to be able to start our own life together. We love being close to family, and we'll come back eventually but it'll also be nice to get away.

My sick husband....

Well, many of you may have heard about the turberculosis scare at Snow College, it's been all over the news. Anyway, we thought John had better get tested so he went in, and sure enough he tested positive. Well, testing positive doesn't necessarily mean that he's got it, he had to get a chest x-ray last Thursday and we still haven't got the results back. We're guessing he probably doesn't have active TB because we think they'd most likely be more worried about it if he did, and he doesn't have any of the symptoms so we figure he's probably okay. It was kind of a scare though because his chest has been hurting him for a few months now. Anyway, we'll keep you updated but until then, try not to let John cough on any of you.... it could be contatious. Hahaha, Just kidding, but i wanted to post a picture we took of ourselves at the hospital while we were waiting for the x-ray, it was just so funny because they made us both wear face masks and locked us in a room so we couldn't contaminate anything... Anyway, just picture the picture in your head, you'll get a good laugh.

Just some wedding pictures...

Well, here's some wedding pictures that i just thought i'd share. We've been married THREE WHOLE MONTHS!! Its hard to believe... It would be fun to do it all over again, we sure had a good time, and thank goodness we still are.

Sunday

Wow, its been a crazy weekend. As i mentioned before, John was asked to run a farm while the farmer was cruising so that makes every day a little bit busier but on top of all of that, Yesterday John as put in as the 2nd counselor in our bishopric at the student married ward we go to. So, he left the house at 6 am to feed the turkeys, went to a 7:30 meeting, i met him at church at 9 and then we thought he'd have time to do the cows between church and the 2:30 meeting. Well after church it was clear John wouldn't be going anywhere so I ran back to Manti, asked Peter if he'd go help me feed the cows and we did it all by ourselves. It's a lot of work for just me so i was glad peter was around. John was proud of us but I think i'll leave the rest of the farming to him, he's good at it :). Anyway, I didn't see John till 7 last night and when he finally got home we just relaxed, we even forgot to eat the chicken tacos i had spent all atfternoon getting in the crockpot (okay, it really didn't take that long but i was excited about them!) because he was so beat. But i hope they'll still taste okay tonight for dinner. Life is busy but it is good, its good to be with the one you love through it all. I truly am so blessed. I've got a good husband, giving family, great people like all of you for friends. We belong to the true church of Jesus Christ and we are lead by leaders that love us and that really do commune with God. President Hinckley will always hold a special place in our hearts because he's the one that has helped us really come to understand what it means to be Christlike. With a church like this here on the earth today, how can we not be happy?

What we do...

Well this week a turkey farmer around here asked John if he'd take care of his turkey's and cows while they are on a cruise so John's been coming home stinking like turkeys everyday, i guess its good for me though. We've both been really busy, I work Monday, Wednesday, Friday at therapy west and i really do love working there, i just love all the people that come in, they're great. Then on Tues and Thursdays i baby sit a little 10 month old girl named Jerusha. She's fun, and keeps us really busy. This past week we've been babysitting a couple of Johns nephews because their parents are on a cruise too! I guess its the thing to do... Well, John and I got a 1000 piece puzzle for our wedding from one of Johns aunts so i got ambitious the other day and pulled it out. Well, it only took us 2 weeks to finish it! And i dont' think we'll ever be doing that again. It was a hard one but here's a pic, its temples but if you don't notice, the whole outside is exactly the same pattern, it was rough. Well it guess thats it for now!

A little about the last 3 months...

Well, married life has treated us good so far, my mom wanted me to post what we've been doing for the past almost 3 months so all of you can see the beginning.... I guess i'll start with the beginning... OUR HONEYMOON!!! For our honeymoon we drove to San Diego and caught a cruise ship to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada Mexico. It was a lot of fun except for when John got in the hot tub with my bran new nice camera in his swimming suit pocket.... that put a damper on things but we've got a few photos from before all that. This first one is us at the dock waiting for our boat, I won't show you the one where john got a little curious...okay maybe i will. Well, we tried to avoid doin what everybody else was doing on the boat which mostly consisted of drinking and gambling but there was one thing we just couldn't resist, it was when they anounced they'd be having a hairy chest contest and of course John had to enter.... well, believe it or not, there are hairyer men than John and he didn't win, although he did receive a metal... For what i just can't remember... But there's the hairy babe himself. Gosh, how did i get so lucky??? Well, there's about how far we got with the pictures because of the hot tub incident, but it was a lot of fun.

We're BLOGGING!!!!

Thanks to John we finally did it and got our very own blog. So here we are, just like i always thought we would be, wondering what in the heck we're supposed to say on our new blog! So I guess i'll tell you about us.... we were married October 27, 2007 and we just bought the sweetest new computer ever. Its green and we love it. Anyway, i guess this is good for our first big posting so here goes....
