So I'm horrible at updating our blog, but I'll blame it on the fact that I'm working 2 jobs right now. I work as a lunch lady at East High and in the Bakery at the Fresh Market Grocery store that is down the street from where we live. Kyle is in the Police Academy and working at a treatment center for troubled teens. So we're busy, tired, and we never see enough of eachother. But we are happy and enjoying ourselves.

A lot has happened since December 7th. We went to California to have Christmas with my family. Kyle started the Academy and became obsessed with making things on his Lathe(a machine that spins wood things like a baseball bat). I've been working on controlling my blood sugar levels better, and going through a lot of test strips. I've also been coming up with a lot of projects for Kyle, most of them have to do with building me things for our home. My niece Bella turned 2 on Jan 31st. For our Valentines celebration we went to a Monster Truck Jam in Salt Lake, and Kyle realized how white trash I really am. We also had to speak in church and I actually survived. I'm terrified of public speaking but not of heights. I'd rather be in the casket at a funeral than giving the eulogy. Kyle's bother Nick and his wife Jill had their baby on Feb 12th, his name is Pixton and he is perfect. My brother Shea turned 26 on Feb 14th, Happy Birthday. My niece Staucie turned 4 on Feb 23rd. Kyle, the sweet husband that he is, let me get my hair done. I love it, and feel like a new woman. The day that I got my hair done I also got the eat at one of the new In-N-Out's that opened in Utah with my great friend Janelle. That was a great day because I didn't have to work either of my jobs and I just loved having a day for myself. Than this weekend Kyle and I went to Wyoming to visit our new nephew Pixton, and the rest of the family :)

Shea and I riding around together at the cabin, this might be my favorite thing to do with shea :)

The vase that is in the middle is my favorite, Kyle cuts out each wood piece, than glues it all together and than spins it on his Lathe. He has made more but has given them away. The small circle thing is a bracelet that Kyle made me and there are earrings to match. There were 8 different monster trucks, and it was so cool when they jumped. I screamed so much that I lost my voice.

Smoot is the town that Kyle is from, I think this sign is amazing...

Kyle is such a cute uncle, I'm so excited to see him as a father :)

We are also coming up on our ONE year anniversary. I can't believe that it has gone by so fast. I have learned so much from Kyle and feel so lucky to have him in my life. Getting married has made me more aware of what I need to improve on. I feel like one of the biggest things I've learned is how to communicate better. Kyle is so patient with me and amazingly he still adores me and all my faults. I love him and the great man that he is. I have such a strong love for the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I feel so blessed to have such a strong marriage and I know its because of our choice to be sealed for time and all eternity. Its so nice to not have to deal with the drama of the world that some couples deal with who do not have the gospel in their lives. I feel that the gospel is such a great protection to have in the home and in my marriage. We have been so blessed in our marriage and we are so greatful for the Lord's tender mercies that we see so much.
