I'm Finally Done! Now not knowing what to do.

This is Tom Its been a long to posting something on here of course I dont think anyone hardly ever reads our blog that much anymore anyways so I'm not expecting much response really! Here's the news anyways over the last year and a half or so I have been attentending school(college) At Stevens-Heneger online going for my degree in Buisness Management W/ Account - empahisis in porperty management yeah I know seems like a big ole title and everything. Even though its only my associates degree I still feel plenty proud of my self for such a great accomplishment such as this. I will recieve my actual degree by mail sometime in december then in june of 2014 I will be able to attend graduation so thats something to really look forward too. I'm very excited to attend a second graduation in life. Im very greatful for this wonderful oppurtunity Well Im looking out for jobs in my area of study so hopefully something will come along at some point down the road. Currently im working at a place in Driggs called Basin Burger its where burger king use to be. Its been a great job but I decided that I needed something more in my life then just a high school diploma so I took the plunge I'm hoping that by taking the plunge I'm hoping it will pay off down the road. Well just wanted to make that little update in our lives. Everything else is going good so far we are just living life and trying to enjoy life but we love life and will continue to do so even in the future.

update for now

In the month of February we had the opporunity to go to Salt Lake City to pick up my parents and my baby brother from the airport. He has served a two year mission in Lansing Michigan.  That was so awesome.  He has grown both physically and most definitely spiritual.

Wow, I am back but nothing much is happenin in our Lives.  Tom is still working at Basin Burger which is a way awesome place to eat here in Teton Valley.  Then he will graduate with his associate degree in Business Management /Accounting in September so he is doing well there.  I am still working hard at my job. 


So I thought that we were getting into spring but nope, we ending getting a big snow storm and it ended with slush and snow.  Well even though I wasnt going very fast I ended spinning into a snow bank.  The truck is tough with mininal damage but yep I am bruised but no other harm done. 

I have also found my favorite soda from back south.  Cheerwine ya so awesome. 

Well like I said there is not much going on in our lives.  Tom and I's lives are pretty boring.

I would like to set a goal on losing weight but it's been so hard.  My goal by my birthday which is May 11th is to lose 20 lbs, which that means I need to work extra hard on exercising and eating right.  So hopefully whoever reads this will help me with that goal.  I am hoping that by exercising and losing the weight that we can add a little one to our family here this year. 

Forgiveness and Christ's Love

Well it's been awhile since I have made the time to really blog.  Life can change so fast whether it be for the good or the bad.  I am just thankful that they year has gone and we have gone on with our life for the better.  We continue to grow despite what life throws at us.  I just know that I am so grateful for family and friends that has been there.  I am especially grateful for Heavenly Father and him listen to countless hours of prayers.  I am grateful for the many prayers that have been offered for my family.  Not only through this year but through the past year.  I am grateful for the atoning sacrifice of our  Brother Jesus Christ.  I am grateful for him making the ultimate sarcifice to die for each and everyone of us so that we can live with Our Heavenly Father and Mother again.  I am grateful for eternal marriage and the priesthood.  We would not have gotten through any of our trials with out the priesthood blessings and prayers.  I found these quotes and thought I would share. President Uchtdorf is amazing along with President Monson and President Erying.  Once again I am so grateful for the wonderful gospel in my life. 

Wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you, in fact, He loves you, with an infinite love."
                                - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

And another excellent one:

 

"Trials give us opportunities to show the Lord and ourselves that we will be faithful. We can choose to feel sorry for ourselves and ask, "Why me?" or we can grow from our trials, increase our faith in the Lord, and ask, "How can I be faithful in the midst of this trial?" We can let adversity break us down and make us bitter, or we can let it refine us and make us stronger. We can allow adversity to lead us to drift away from the things that matter most, or we can use it as a stepping-stone to grow closer to things of eternal worth."
