For Thanksgiving we ate at my Grandparents and had dessert with Mike's family. The day after, Mike, my dad and little brother all came down to Moab. We did Fins and Things at night, Hell's Revenge and Potato Salad Hill. It was a lot of fun. We can't wait for Easter Jeep Safari in April!!! Happy Holidays!!!

Waiting

For those of you who do not know . . . I PASSED my boards. I have been working in Moab since October 21st. We are still waiting on some stuff for the house and extending deadlines. Mike came to Moab this weekend for his birthday!!! We had so much fun. I almost ruined it by having 4 kidney stones. The largest of which is 7 mm. OUCH! Mike said I should name it "Big Bertha." We fished at Ken's Lake, ate at Moab Diner, Desert Bistro, and Moab Brewery. Mike is waiting to hear back on his applications. So we are both just waiting, for a house, stones, and a job.

House in Moab

Yeah!!! Our offer was accepted on the house in Moab! If all goes smoothly we will close by Thanksgiving. It has 4 bd 2 ba, LR, DR, FR, and mudroom on an acre. Lots of room for all our cars and projects. It is technically in Spanish Valley, which is out by Ken's Lake.

Test Date

I will be taking my boards on October 14 and 15th and start working in Moab on October 21st. We will be on the Deer Hunt October 17-20th and I will drive to Moab from there and Mike will drive back home.
Farewell dinner at 5 pm on Sunday October 5th at the Lion's Building in the Lindon City Park on State Street.

quote

I was reading an article in the September 2008 Ensign. It quoted the following from the For the Strength of Youth Pamphlet and reminded me of the following scripture.

"The Lord will make much more out of your life than you can by yourself. He will increase your opportunities, expand your vision, and strengthen you. He will give you the help you need to meet your trials and challenges."

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30

Moving

Well, it is official. We will be moving to Moab. I will be starting work sometime in October and Mike will finish off our lease and some training at work and join me in December. Once again we will be living apart. Check back later for updates, new house, photos, etc.

Blogging

I figured since so many of our family and friends have blogs that we are behind the times and should start a blog to share info about us and our adventures. So stay tuned for updates and photos.
