A lot of changing and a lot more to come

            Well we are very excited to announce that we have been approved for a loan for a house! Yes, we have the house in Vernal that we are still renting out, but we felt like being in the apartment was just like throwing our money out the window every month, so back in September we started looking for a house in Rock Springs. We found a couple that we liked that we could have fixed up, but they were too complicated to get. Then our Realtor showed us her mother-in-law's house with a cute yard and it was in our budget. We went to two different mortgage people to see if they could get us an affordable loan. the first one said no but the second one said lets give it a try. He really didn't think we could get the loan because of how much money Paul makes but he lets try to find a gray area. Well we found a gray area where we would put a bid on this house and with an accepted offer see what the under-writer would say. Well we waited and waited to hear back and finally last week we got a call. They said it's looking like you are going to get the loan, we just need a few last minute details. We got those all taken care of and on Wednesday they gave us a call, and it was good news! We went and signed some more papers and the mortgage guy said we are going to try and close on this on the 29. That's a really fast closing for a house (20 days) but that's what we are aiming for and we could not be anymore excited! We have truly been blessed by the lord.
            Another thing though was that we really wanted to stay in the ward that we are in right now because we love our ward! We have been so blessed to meet such good people and have made a lot of friends in the Rock Springs Ward. Paul and I both have callings now which is really tough to leave, since I just got my calling as a Primary Worker for the sunbeams two weeks ago. But Paul and I both feel that Heavenly Father called us to these callings, even if it was just for a short time, for a reason and we both feel that if Heavenly Father wanted us move to this new ward that he would make it possible for us to get the house. After everything is signed and we get the okay to move in, I know it will be because that's where the lord needs us to be.
        Once we do get all moved in the change doesn't stop there we still have a little boy to get ready for and once he does get here there will be even more big changes that involve a lot of diapers. : D

Many Good Things

We found out we were pregnant back in June and today we found out that we are going to be having a little boy. We are so very excited. I can't believe how much time just flies by. We feel so blessed and can't wait to see what the lord has in store for us next.

Fishing, Crab and Mud

So Paul and I have a lot of fun on his now four days a week off. This week has been crazy, stressful and fun. Tuesday was Paul's 26th birthday but he still has a lot more energy than I do most days and really brings me to life and I'm so grateful for him. His birthday was really crazy though but we tried to have fun even though everything else was crazy.
On Wednesday we went out to a fishing area right outside of Green River and even though the weather didn't cooperate we still had fun with Dad in the wind trying to catch fish. The fish ended up being about 5 lb clumps of seaweed!

Thursday, we got a call from my Rolfer asking us if we could make it down a little bit earlier on Friday and since we didn't have anything to do we asked her if we could just come down. So we made a trip down to Utah. We went to my appointment and since Paul didn't get a birthday dinner, we decided to go to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. I am not much of a seafood person so we looked at the menu and I found a chicken dish and Paul got crab. I was brave and actually tried it. It wasn't too bad just different. We then went to a movie with Jeremy and Sharae (sister and Brother in law). We got home at 3am. Thank goodness that Paul is use to staying up late.

On Friday we woke up to snow. Paul was really bummed out that he wouldn’t be able to go fishing but we decided to go out to Big Firehole a lake outside of Rock Springs and just look for good spots for fishing. Needless to say it was very muddy and we almost got stuck. It was a lot of fun!

What's New

I know it's only been a few days but it's been a crazy couple of days. Paul put in for a bid at work so that he could go to the surface and work up there instead of down underground. He got the bid! he is now working day shift four days on four days off. This is truly a blessing for us even though he took a little bit of a pay cut (2.00), Paul is liking the job and learning lots. Right now I'm the un-offical camp assistant for our ward. I'm super excited to go back to girls camp and work with the young women. I loved young womens and didn't want to leave it but now I'm glad that I have gotten a taste for Relief society. I've been busy trying to get my Cricut to work so that I can get some of the things done for an activity coming up. I'm also busy just trying to keep up with the house work and my school work. We are so greatful for the opportunites that have come along and hope for more in the future.

Married life

Well Paul and I have been married for 6 months... I can't believe how fast it's gone by! We started going to a family ward in January and we just love it. I really didn't think I would enjoy it but we have been blessed with a wonderful ward. We are living in an apartment in Rock Springs and we're not sure yet when we will move to Vernal. Paul has been moved from the shop at work to the longwall underground. It's the day shift, which is nice in my opinion because then I don't get as lonely and scared at night. I never knew how much time I would spend by myself until we got married but it's nice to be around Paul when he is home. School is getting boring for me and I am just not as into it as I once was but I'm almost done with my AA so hopefully by the fall semester I will be able to graduate and just take it easy. I have been doing something called Rolfing or structual intergration. I have been traveling down to Draper, Ut every Friday to get it done by a lady that does it right out of her home.Rolfing is where they move the facia so that your bones and muscles go to the places that they should be instead of where they have moved over the years. It is painful and wears me out but it has been so worth the travel,pain, and money. I almost have a strait spine and my hips are level and these are thing i didn't think would ever be possible for me. I feel really blessed that we found something that worked. We are so greatful for our family and friends and everything that the lord has given us. We will try to keep you updated. Love you all!
