Every post is titled something like "catching up." It's hard to want to blog for me, because my computer hates uploading pictures, and I want to show everyone any pictures we take (there aren't a lot, so any we actually take are special haha). So here's to catching up to November, almost December.
Since my last post, we have been kinda busy. I am also working as a nanny almost full time, and I still love my job. He is learning so much every day, and becoming a little boy. He seems less a baby every time I see him! I just wish his parents would be more a part of his life. I feel like they spend the least possible amount of time with him as they can. This week is Thanksgiving, and they are having the dad's brother and his family over for the weekend. They have a little girl just a little older than the kid, so maybe he'll have a blast! It will be fun to see how it affects him when I get back after Thanksgiving. I may even meet the little girl! :)
Speaking of being out of town the week, we may end up bringing our cat along with us if we can't find someone to come over and play with her once in a while. She is WAY too social to be left alone for 4 days. If we did that, we wouldn't sleep the night we get back because she would want to play! We're hoping to find someone haha.
We have been teaching the new-member lessons to a sister in our ward on Monday nights for FHE, and she had the opportunity to go through the temple in October (she was baptized in April last year). It's been really fun to have her over, and it's becoming my favorite part of my week. She's just recently started bringing her friend over with her, too! I love having them over and talking about the AMAZING gospel and hearing testimonies. It's so awesome to me how everyone's testimony is so unique. It just shows me again and again that our Heavenly Father knows and loves each of us on a very personal level. He knows us better than we know ourselves, and better than we know each other. It's just amazing to me, and I am so grateful that I have the Gospel in my life. I am so blessed!

CRAZY SEPTEMBER
It has been WAY too long since my last post. My life has been a little hectic and a lot stressful.
Since the last update, Levi has lost/quit his job, found a different job, and almost completed the training for said new job. It's been kind of crazy!
I am still looking for a better paying job here in Mesa, since my nanny family is moving pretty soon, and it will just be too far for me to go on the paycheck I'm getting. So if anyone knows of anything, please let me know!!
I feel very blessed that Levi found a new job so soon. He wasn't even 24 hours without a job! I know it is because our Heavenly Father is mindful of us, and our needs. We were able to go to the temple twice this past month, which also helped with the stress levels. It is such a testimony builder to see these things happen and know that there is no coincidence here. Heavenly Father is aware of everything going on, and blesses us.
We have also had the opportunity to have a sister in our ward over for dinner and FHE every Monday for the past 4 weeks. She was baptized in April last year and had never had the new-member lessons. We are ward missionaries, so we have been teaching her. It's been really fun! (It's also been a great motivator for me to keep the condo at least semi-tidy.)
Well, hopefully I'll be better at doing this in the near future.

Learning
So today I decided I wasn't going to get on facebook at all. None. Zilch. This gave me time to mess with the blogger, and to figure a few things out. I learned how to make a cute background, and add a blog list, and upload pictures. Now let's see if I can get them all up!
 |
| This is our adorable kitty, Lily. You can see her hot-pink "soft paws" that help her not to ruin anything from scratching. She doesn't love them, but she leaves them on for the most part. |
 |
| Here is one of my AMAZING husband, I think he's doing homework. |
So, this didn't work completely, but I'm still learning. :o) More next time! I have chores to do!

hahaha too long...
So, it's been quite a while since I posted anything, and I actually have a good excuse for once! I can't for the life of me figure out how to load pictures. AND I would like to change the background to my blog, and have all the blogs I follow on my blog page... I can't figure out how to do any of that. I guess I should get my wonderful sister-in-laws to help me, but they are all busy with their children and/or work. :( So here I am, wishing I could post so wedding pictures, 3 months late... but I can't figure out how. If you know enough to be able to walk me through it, I would greatly appreciate it!
News for the past month + some:
1. We adopted a little kitten named Lily, and she is adorable (insert cute picture here). She is a great cat, just sort of annoying at 5 in the morning when she wants us to get up and play with her. She likes to play fetch with pairs of socks or her little frog toy.
2. My little brother Jeff moved in with us to look for a job down in the heat! He could spend more time looking, but that's why he's here. We had a hard time getting used to each other again, but it's going pretty well now. We've always butted heads a little... sometimes a lot. I must say it's nice to have him around most of the time.
3. We got a dining room table! My brother Tyler and his wife Whitney recently moved, and didn't have room for their extra table, and asked if we could take it. We'd been eating from the coffee table or just putting our plates on our laps. I must say I never realized how nice it is to have a table to eat at! Tyler also gave us two night stands, which are also VERY nice to have!
4. Levi started school, which means we get up before 6am MWF mornings. While Lily loves this, I kind of have a hard time. Levi isn't excited to have to go to class, but he doesn't hate any of his professors, yet. I'm so proud of him!
5. We've had a few plumbing issues, first with our AC draining pipe, tube, whatever was plugged, so we were dribbling on our downstairs neighbor. We got that fixed, and then she was saying we were dribbling in her master bathroom, too... this time we had no idea what she was talking about. Two holes in the wall and one tub spout removed later, we find out it's the copper pipes that bring water for all four condos in our building that is leaking on her bathroom. Kinda depressing, but we're glad it's all fixed now!
So this is our life so far. Kinda eventful, too! One recent discovery that I have made is that I married a GREAT cook! Levi enjoys cooking, which makes me very happy, because I've never really enjoyed cooking anything. He's starting to teach me, so maybe someday I'll be a good cook, too! Life is wonderful! Just sayin'.

Three Weeks!
So tonight Levi and I went to a wedding reception for our mutual friend, Casey McDowell, and his wife (I don't remember her name...). It was fun to see them, and see how happy they are. It made me smile, because we did that same thing only three weeks ago! It seems so long ago, but really it's only been 20 days. We are slowly getting situated in our lovely home, although I haven't unpacked anything this week... :) I'll get to it, hopefully this weekend.
Things I'm excited for include the family temple trip we are having on Saturday, and getting to know people in our new ward! And I am SO excited for the rest of eternity that I get to spend with my sweet husband!
News: I should be getting part of our wedding pictures on Saturday, so I can post our faves on here! Wedding pictures are coming!!! Aren't you excited? I know I am!

Just starting out
Hello all... I know I'm prolly talking to a wall, but I'm just starting out anyway, so it's okay if no one is reading right now.
So I started this blog so I can share pictures with all of my friends and family, including the ones who aren't on facebook and whatnot. I don't have any to put up right now, it's still too soon after the wedding to have them. Maybe I can steal some from facebook... I'll have to try that. As for now, I'm just learning. So, I hope everyone can be patient with me! :)
News: Levi and I just got married at the beginning of the month, on June 4th. It was beautiful, thanks to my wonderful sister in laws and other family who helped! The temple was also beautiful, of course. I am so excited that I can go in there now! I had no idea how much I would love it until I actually did it! I love the temple.
I'm still working as a nanny to a 10 month old little boy, who can be a handful sometimes. We (his parents and I) have spoiled him, so now we get to deal with it and maybe help him learn to not be spoiled, if that's possible. Levi works at a non profit organization called A New Leaf to help kids who need help learning to get along in society, or just to have a sturdy place to go. We both love our jobs, some days more than others!
I think that's all for now... more to come!
