Life as we know it.....

I really need to be better at updating our blog. We have had lots of fun stuff going on and I need to make sure I keep this thing up to date. Sooooooo here it goes.

A couple of weeks ago we went and took a little road trip to visit Riley's grandma. We were able to help her  get her house set up. She has such a cute little house and we loved it. She even watched are cute little pup for one night so we could go to St. George. We had so much fun and it was a nice get away. I can't wait until we can go back for another visit.

Riley is starting an EMT class that he is really excited about. This is something that he has wanted to do for a long time and we are both excited he can finally start. :) This is going to be a long 6 weeks but it will pay off and be great!

We got new flooring for  part of are downstairs. WE LOVE IT!!! The people that lived in our house before  did not take care of the carpet so this was much needed. I can't wait until we have new flooring every where. :) Fez is still trying to adjust to the hardwood. Poor boy slips and slides everytime he walks.

Speaking of Fez... I can't belive he is 6 months old. Time has gone by so fast. He is FINALLY starting to turn into a good pup. We love him and he is a great little part of are family. It hasn't always been easy to train him but it is so worth it. I love coming home to a happy dog that is so excited to see me.... I know I sound crazy but he has really grown on me. :) Love you Mr. Fez.

Speaking of 6 months... I can't believe that Riley and I have almost been married for 6 months. Wow that went by fast. Who ever said the first year is the hardest is way wrong. Or maybe this is the hardest and it hasn't been hard at all. Ehhhh I am sure we will have are hard time but the last 6 months have been so great. I am so happy that we are married. I think that dating for almost 2 years really has helped with are first year. Being married is great and I really recommend it. :)

Speaking of being married.... Congrats to Heidi and Micah. I am so excited for you guys. July 13th can't come soon enough. Yeah for weddings. I love weddings and wedding planning :) Can't wait for everything to start. I am so happy for you guys.

Speaking of Congrats...... Yeah for Brinton and Becky and new baby Ryan! I am so excited and I can't wait to meet him. He is so cute. Once again... July couldn't come fast enough!!!

Speaking of things coming soon.... KATEE COMES HOME SO SOON!!!! I am counting down the days! Less than 100. YEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has been an amzing missionary and I am so proud of her.

Anyways...... I am in the young womens in my new ward. I am the beehive teacher. When I first got the calling I wasn't super excited about it but........... I am learning to love it. I have a large group ( getting bigger) of girls that are amzing. It is fun to see how different they are. I learn new things about them each week and I finally have all there names down. Yeah go me!!! It is a busy calling but I am learning to love it.
Are new ward has been a challenge for me. I miss my old ward ALOT. I miss being friends with everyone and I miss the fact that I knew everyone by name. Sometimes I go to church and the only people that talk to me are my young women and Riley. I know I could be more friendly but I really do try. I really like the lady that I work with in the young womens so maybe this will be a good start. It is a VERY VERY BIG ward and I feel like most people already have there friends so they don't need anyone else. I am thinking  maybe it is because people think we are renting our townhouse so we will only be here a few months. Who knows. I sound like this is the first day of junior high. I know it will get better. It will just take time. :) There really are some nice people and I don't want to sound like I am being a brat or complaining. I know I am in the ward I am in for a reason so I will try my best. :)

Well I am pretty sure that is everything. :) If you are still reading, thanks for reading. Love you all!!!
