Receiving All Things with Thankfulness

"He who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious".

(Doctrine and Covenants 78:19)

Do we remember to be grateful in all things? I'm super grateful to home and see the family this week. I'm grateful for an uncle who generously sold us his honda so we don't have to eat gas in Bryce's huge truck (well, we can eat cuz it's not eating diesel). I'm grateful for a wonderful husband and I'm grateful that I have things in my home that create a mess because I have a place to call home and things to put in it. I'm grateful for my job and the friendships I've made! I'm grateful to travel to see Shelly next weekend!

Happy Day!

Wow! I can hardly believe it, yet I can. Bryce and I had our first date a year ago TODAY. Sometimes it feels like that was a long time ago but sometimes it feels like yesterday. We went to Cafe Rio, took my pit bull (that I no longer have) to the park and than watch a movie at my place. He's amazing and I am so lucky to have him for my husband. On the 22nd we'll be married, 7 months. Yeah, we were engaged after 1 month but had a longer engagement. I LOVE YOU BOO!

House update

Well, we found another house a put an offer on it on Monday. It's another short sale. It's the same south as the other house but farther west (just really means LONG DRIVE in the AM), but it's essentially the same house, but with an attached two car garage. The basement is all finished, but it needs paint and carpet. Small sacrifice for the amount of equity it will have in it already. We're hoping. They think we'll hear by tomorrow (at least something). We're dealing with a small mortgage company this time, NOT WELLS FARGO and their realtor seems more real and not a complete JOTW (lol, Bryce's favorite saying). We'll keep you posted

WELL, the wait is over

Short story. The houses realtor was a big jerk and didn't even call to say that it went to someone else. It went into contract yesterday. Back to square one.

Still waiting...

I hadn't realized that it had been so long since I posted. I hope you all forgive me. This weekend was amazing. It was awesome listening to the new prophet! I love conference. My sister in law came into town Friday night and while Bryce got his dirt bike ready for their trip to the dunes on Wednesday, I went shopping with his mom and sister for maturnity clothes for his sister. She's barely showing. She's only 12 weeks, but planning ahead. We had fun. We than rode with his mom around while she shot some pictures of some houses for work. I can't believe some of the houses we saw! HOLY HUGE! They're just hiding away in these little private lanes. I don't understand it. People spend a half a million or more for a house just to tear it down and rebuild. So really they're paying that for .75 arces. Crazy huh? Bryce and I just hung out together Saturday night. Than Sunday we spent the day at his parents house, eating way too much food and enjoying conference and each other. His brother and sister in law flew in around 7 on Sunday. It's fun to have the whole family here. Brionne leaves Tuesday night and Darron and LuAnne leave Friday night. So much fun. I'm so excited to be an aunt! I just can't wait to know what it is. My goal this summer is to be more crafty and spend my time more wisely, so I'm going to do some sewing and just a few fun projects that I have planned and hopefully get some scrapbooking done!!

I got sent home from work today because my boss said "you look green". I felt terrible. It's tax season and I was really trying to fake it. I had a headache that was so horrible that it was making me sick to my stomach and than I took my vitamins and it got even worse. NO I'm not pregnant, so don't even get the thought in your head (I actually took a test just to be sure). I'm feeling better but still not really wanting to eat, which is bad, because we're having Cafe Rio for dinner.

The update on the house is that I don't have one. It's down to three of us and they're just picking one of our offers. We're supposed the hear today, but it's 4PM and we still haven't heard. We'll see. I hope you're all doing well!
