Top Ten Things We are Grateful For

Jess and I have been very blessed in our short time together. I think that oftentimes we forget how lucky we are. So we decided to post the top ten things we are grateful for right now.

1. Our Savior

2. Each other

3. Our wonderful families! They support us in everything and we love them all so much, even though they are all so far away.

4. Jimbo, he brings us so much entertainment sometimes. He is hilarious to watch!

5. School-even though it is tough right now, we are grateful for the opportunity to be here at Utah State and to be learning and bettering ourselves.

6. Friends-our friends are what keep us laughing. They also keep us from being so boring!

7. Homemade bread- we have been improving our bread making skills and not to brag or anything, but our bread is... amazing!

8. Grant money! We figure we might as well put them to good use. Seeing as how we will be putting into the system the rest of our lives.

9. Laughter- Seems as if we have been doing a lot of this lately. We are both a little crazy sometimes. As Jess puts it, "We are as crazy as a mongoose on catnip."

10. And last but not least- Our Forever Family! We can't imagine not being with our family for the rest of eternity! We love the temple and family history work. God truly has made a way for us to be together forever.

Christmas Vacation

We brought Jimbo to Mama Terri's house for Christmas. All the little kids loved him! Here is Reece feeding Jimbo "cereal." He hand Jimbo some food and if he wouldn't take it, Reese would put it into his bowl, and say; "cereal bowl!" Reese loved the little "black mouse."

Jess got another hair cut! He had to sit in the tub because our whole apartment is carpet. Doesn't he look good?
Happy Birthday Jess! We invited our friends Dane and Jessica for steak, giant cookie, and homemade ice cream... Yum!

Reese and Ivy were so cute! They were sharing the popcorn bucket. If you asked Reese if you could have some he would stick his hand in the bucket and bring you a couple pieces of sticky popcorn. What a good sharer.

We went sledding on Old Main Hill with our friends Jacob and Ashley Mason. It was a blast! There were tons of people there too. It was an interesting experience since I am so used to sledding in the mountains, with no one else around. City life is still a little weird for me.

Family History is Addicting!

Jess and I got a new calling, we are the Family History Consultants for our ward. We were both really excited for this new and exciting opportunity to learn more about who we are and where we come from. We have been slowly figuring things out. The other day we had some exciting things happen. We may not have found new members of the family, but we have been combining records so that each family is more complete. I never would have thought this would be so rewarding and fun. We love Family History work and we hope more people get excited about it too!
