this blogging thingg

So I have decided that I'm horrible at blogging. I have very much repect to the people that are religious bloggers. I'm no good at taking frequent pictures and documenting the ones I do take. Someday.. perhaps after children.. I will be better.. maybe.

But as for a small update- Jeff and I are doing great.

Jeff is an official manager at McDonalds now! He is an awesome worker and got promoted only months after starting. With this though, came full time hour weeks, even throughout our Spring semester here at BYU-I. However, (don't ask me how he did it) he got straight A's! Holy Cow. Jeff is also 1st councelor in the Sunday School, which consists of meetings, teaching lessons, and conducting Sunday school every week. He is enjoying his calling, even though it is somewhat outside of his comfort zone.

I continued to tutor at the college. I loved it. I decided that juggling three jobs (insurance company receptionist, Junior High Tutoring, and College Tutoring) got too difficult with my upper level courses, so I eventually limited myself to just my on campus tutoring job. It was awesome though, and my boss said that I can come back any semester that I am at BYUI. So that is where I will be all of next year. It is good for two reasons: I enjoy it, and it helps prepare me for the big math test that I will need to take in order to become an official teacher. Oh, and it's money (make that three reasons). My grades didn't hurt either. I got all A's, and one B+. So I can't complain. The primary is doing well. It finally feel comfortable in this crazy calling. I love the kids, and it does allow for many babysitting opprotunities (for both me and Jeff). Jeff loves it!

Summer started four days ago, and let me tell you.. it has been a loooonnnngggg four days. One negative to my on campus job is that I have NOTHING to do during this seven week summer break. Jeff is at work, and I am at home.. stranded. Our second car, the Ford is not starting and is at the shop, as we speak. So great. The temperature gets over 100 degrees here during the day and we have NO air conditioning (hence my new SHORT haircut, I couldn't handle it). It isn't the best of situations, but I will survive because......

We are leaving for a two and a half week roadtrip in just TWO days. I cannot wait. First we will be heading down to my Nana and Grandpa's for three days, then heading over to Bremerton area for 3 more days, and then going to California to visit Jenae (Yes, airconditioning!) for 3 days, then going to a cabin that Jeff's huge side of the family has rented for a family reunion. It is going to be blast! I can't wait to get away from Rexburg and spend good time with family. I can't ask for anything more.

Anyway, my Mom and Quincy are in INDIA right now. Crazy, I know. Please pray for their safety. Their blog is here. Check it out!! I have wayyy to much time on my hands right now and tend to worry about them a little too much. However, they arrived there safe, so a small portion of my worries have been relieved.

Well, that's all for now. I can honestly promise pictures of the trip though for sure. There are a few other people (mainly Jenae) that are awesome at taking pictures, so I know that there will be plently. (:
