married!

wow I have been SO behind! I can't believe it's been 5 months since I've updated. I'm a slacker I think. Life has been so unbelievably busy the past few months. Jon and I both moved back to Idaho Falls in May. Jon started a job at Brady's and he is their repair guy for the sewing machines, hot tubs, vacuums, etc. He LOVES it! He would never be the "behind a desk" guy so doing something that is hands on is great for him. He gets awesome benefits, great pay and a bomb schedule, so over all we are thrilled about it. I'm still looking for a job and its such a pain. I didn't want to work until after the wedding so now I'm full force looking for a job. blah. But on to the good stuff...we got married!!! woo!!! June 2nd was the best day ever. It was such a long, tedious, experience planning a wedding but I was so happy with how it turned out! We were very blessed with every one who contributed and helped. It was wonderful. We went to my family's cabin in Alpine WY for our honeymoon and had so much fun! We spent a lot of time in Jackson, we took a day and spent it in Yellowstone also. My aunt and uncle's family got Jon and I a dinner at the Bar T 5 cook out. It was our favorite thing! We rode into a camp on covered wagons drawn by horses then had a dutch oven dinner and they had a show. We loved it!  Coming home was hard. We are very fortunate to be living in a home that the couple is serving a mission so they are letting Jon and I stay there for a few months and save up some money. Every thing has been going so great for us. Our lives took a huge turn on April 8th when we found out we were pregnant! What a shock. At first I didn't really know how to handle the news but Jon and I are more excited than ever. We have the support of my wonderful family as well as Jon's. Jon has been so cute and is so excited to be a dad. He is going to do so great! We've been blessed with a great family, friends, ward, and bishop who supports us in everything. And we are so excited looking forward to our 1 year anniversary where our cute little family gets to be sealed together!

I finally got the internet back! So I am excited to do a little catching up on what is new in Jon and I's life. woo! A lot of great things have come our way the past month. I got a new job!! Yay! I am so excited about it. I got a job working in Farmington Utah teaching kindergarten. And oh my heck I LOVE it. I have the cutest kids in the world. It has been such a blessing. It is awesome pay, and i get benefits so that helps so much considering Jon and I are going to need those coming up soon (: Jon has been doing awesome at his job, he is getting ready to move to Wisconsin for a few months to do summer sales and I'm gonna miss the little nugget but it will help us out so much! We were very fortunate to get into a brand new house this month as well. The owners of the house are serving a mission so they are giving it to us for an amazing price. When Jon takes off to Wisconsin that means i get to move in (: The more time I spend in Syracuse the more I think I want to live here.

I've been so grateful for all the things I have been blessed with. Jon and I are working with our bishop getting ready for the temple and oh my. It has been such an amazing experience for us. Our relationship has strengthened so much and have seen first hand the countless blessing the Lord pours upon us when we are willing to do our part. I have nothing to complain about. I'm so happy! Sometimes things are crappy and sometimes I think I will never make it. But then a tender mercy comes and reminds me how wonderful my life really is!
