A quick update.

I want to do just a quick update of our moving status. At this point in exactly 5 weeks, we will be homeless.... We thought we had a job in Portland and it fell through. The disappointment of that one has been ringing through our ears for the past several weeks as our friends and family excitedly ask us where we are going. We have applied for Henderson, Colorado and we are waiting to hear about another town in Oregon. We also found out that a job here in Phoenix has opened up. And as much as we dont want to stay here, because of the place not the people we will take anything right now. The desperation has gotten slightly out of control for me. I struggle with not knowing where were going. I am a planner through and through. I am such a planner that I am pretty much OCD about it. I am trying with all my might to calm down and realize that something will come but God is defiantly teaching me patience. Someone told me the other day that God waits till the last minute. I rolled my eyes but I think God needs to push me to help me realize that I dont need to plan things 3 months in advance. (Told you it was bad) We have started packing and since we both have a lot of this week off we are packing quite a bit this week. Its not something I really want to be doing. I have come to fall in love with the people in this state and although the heat is not my thing this place does have good things going for it.

Well unfortunately thats all for now. Hopefully after a couple phone calls Stefen is making today I will have more news.

Day 13

Let me tell you a story. As most of you know I work at a swimming pool and usually I leave my swim suit at the pool and change there since it is starting t get chilly. So on thursday for some reason I took my swim suit home. Fast forward today. I walk into work and go looking for my swim suit. I go and ask my co-worker and reminds me I took it home. O shoot I said. Well in a matter of 13 minutes I was able to drive home, do the fast change of clothes I have EVER done and drive back. I was right on time.
So with that story being said I am thankful for VERY supportive like family co-workers and I am thankful I live 5 min away.

Day 10

Today I am thankful for temples. We got to go to the temple today. We live about an hour a way and I am so grateful that we are even remotely close to one. It was a wonderful time and we got some answers to prayers that we needed.

After the temple we went to the mall and ate dinner at Johnny Rockets and window shopped! It was so much fun!! We acted like little kids when we saw the lego store, disney story, puppy store, and Kitchen supply store. Stefen got a new timon and Pumba ornamament and he loves it!

So now that we have told the family the bad new that I talked about I can tell you all. We found out this week that the pool I work at is closing. The owner is trying to find a building to lease but doesnt know what that means for job security. As of right now I have till the end of January to figure something out. So one thing that we are going to do is start a business making all my crafts and such. Its going to be up and running with in the next couple days. It feels right for right now and I know the lord is guiding us in this decision. It has been a rough week all around but with going to the temple today I am at such peace and humility for my savior and the blessings that I have.

I'm Kinda a Jerk..

Stefen has decided he is kinda a jerk and its a good thing he married me.
I am the type of person who always tries to help people when I can.
Stefen on the other hand "forgets" or simply doesn't think about it.
When we were in Utah still there was a snow storm and we were going to my moms house in the truck and we saw a car that has 0% traction trying to make it up a really bug hill. I told Stefen we should tow him up the really big hill. Stefen's response: He will be okay. After a little bit of persuasion and watching this guy literally slip backwards down the hill in this blizzard Stefen changed his mind. So we pulled out the tow strap and dragged the man up the hill. Stefen says he wouldn't have done that if I wasn't with him.
Another time I had Stefen drop me of at church and go back and pick up this cute family that was walking to church in the blaring sun while the mother is pregnant. Well this same family was at walmart the other day waiting for a taxi cab to take them the 2 blocks home when Stefen saw them. He talked to them for a minute and then walked away. Without offering them a ride home.. When he finally thought about it they were getting into their cab. He has told me I need to be there so he can do nice things and not be a jerk...

But hes not always a jerk... In fact tonight he went and helped a family move in... Just thought ya'll would like to hear a story or two..

I guess we should talk about the animal in the trash can... So I was taking the trash out the other night at work and I have a slight aversion to dead animals. I tend to cry and freak out. I opened the gate to the dumpster and I saw a huge dead deer or elk or something. I screamed and I screamed loudly and started shouting DEAD ANIMAL.. I was already in tears and my coworker was laughing as hard as she could as she walked to where I was. She went in the gate with me so I would freak out even more only to discover it was a trophy head of a ram. Yes ladies and gentlemen I freaked out over a trophy animal. (It really was very traumatizing) Well the next morning my boss(who had not yet heard I had a traumatizing experiance in the trash bin) walked to the gate opened it and freaked out as well. Although mine experience was slightly more dramatic and terrifying we both have been made fun of for days.. I thought maybe I would take a picture of it today (its still there) But I couldn't bring myself to walk back over there until its gone.

Today was a huge feat for us.. We finally started to redo the dresser we have been talking about redoing for months and months. Today we sanded it and primed it. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the week.

Mischieve managed...

Hello blogging buddies!
We have been doing great! I got my first speeding ticket and got the wonderful opportunity to go to traffic school. And let me tell you it was actually not that bad. I throughly enjoyed myself! Stefen has been working crazy shifts with work and of course he goes to school every night. I started babysitting a cute little 6 month old baby and so our opportunities of seeing each other all the time has decreased. But we have fun excursions like going hot tubbing at 930 at night and playing card and bored games.
I have been working hard on school and should be doing so at this moment but I am fighting it a bit today. This week it a busy week for us. Tomorrow Stefens oldest sister comes into town and on Thursday which just happens to be my birthday his other sister, mom, and niece come into town. We are very excited to see family.
Ill post pictures of this fun week coming up as soon as I have pictures. And to explain the title of this post if you have seen harry potter or even if you haven't when harry is done with mauraders map he has to tap with his wand and say mischieve managed. So this is my mischieve as i am suppose to be doing school!
