FINALLY!!

Our plans have finally worked out and we have a place to call home after we get married!!! This has been weeks and weeks in coming and I have begun to be majorly stressed out because we are getting married in 10 days and still had no place to live! Today we were headed up to Logan to look at a couple of places and Martin suggested I call the place we really want to be and ask one more time if we could move in before the middle of June. So I did, and GUESS WHAT!!! They had a townhouse that is available NOW that they had offered to someone else and they had turned it down, so it's ours!!!! I was like jumping up and down in the car! haha So, we are moving all our stuff up to Logan on Monday and we will have a place to live when we get home from our Honeymoon! I am so excited and relieved, I just can't even believe it!! I know that I am being watched over and am so grateful for that!!

Easter

I just have to write quick about Easter. It was a little different easter for us, since we barely got home from California in time for it, but it was still great. I got to teach my Sunbeam class the easter lesson and that was a neat experience. They were all so quiet and attentive during my lesson. I could feel that they reallly wanted to hear the Easter story and learn about Jesus. I love them. I only get to spend a few more weeks with them, and I know I am going to miss them. I have truly loved that calling, but I'm sure it won't be too long before Martin and I are teaching the primary children again. After church we went up to Grandma Green's like we always do. We had our egg throwing tradition, and it was a lot of fun. We missed Kellee and Brady as they were with Brady's family, but I know that next year may be a little different for me as well. I love Easter and love the time it gives us to celebrate the life of the Savior and the new life that he brought and that spring brings! I just can't wait for the snow and rain to be gone! Bring on the sun!

!! CALIFORNIA !!

For spring break my family and I took a road trip to California and spent a week there. It was a much needed vacation for me and we had a blast! Friday we drove to Las Vegas and spent the night there. We took our van and my car because we can't all squish into the van, so it was a little nerve racking for me to drive that far, but it was fun! Then Saturday we went to the Bellagio in the morning to see the beautiful gardens they have there. Then we continued on our way to California! We stayed with my aunt and uncle and cousins that live in California Saturday night and Sunday and then we drove to Anaheim. We went to Disneyland Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! We love Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters (I beat Martin 1 out of the 5 times we went on it!! haha), Pirates of the Carribbean, The Tower of Terror, Soarin over California, and our new favorite ride Toy Story Carnival Games. That is a new ride kind of like the Astro Blaster, but you play carnival games like on a video game, it's really fun! (Martin won me by far every time on that one though!) It was so fun and the weather was the best part! 70's and 80's all week, it felt SO great! So nice to get away from the rain and snow! We had a blast but our legs and feet were so sore by the end of the three days. My favorite thing is the firework show at the end of the night! It is just amazing and just gives you goosebumps! I LOVE Disneyland! It truly is the happiest place on earth!!

Then Thursday we made our way down to San Diego and went to the beach! It was kind of cold weather, but we didn't care! We got our feet wet and found sea shells and just enjoyed the beauty of the ocean! Avenlea was the best at finding shells, she even found a real sand dollar that was perfect. I love the ocean!

Then Friday we went the San Diego Zoo. I've never been there and that zoo is amazing! It was so fun to see all the animals. It is so interesting to see and learn about all these different animals, some that you've never heard of before. I loved the Pandas, the giraffes, the birds, the gorillas, and the koalas were my favorite. They were so cute! Some were really friendly and walked about and some were just so cute and sat there and didn't want to look at us. haha, it was fun.

Then Saturday we made our trek home. It was a long day driving the whole way from San Diego, California to Kaysville, Utah. But we made it, but of course we couldn't leave without going to our favorite place to eat, "In N' Out!" The best hamburgers and french fries in the whole world! We had a great vacation! I needed a vacation and it was so great to be able to spend time with my family. I'm also so glad that Martin was able to come with us. We had a great time and it was so fun spending the whole week with him! The wonderful joys of my life! ~ Family, Love, Sun, Fresh Cut French Fries, Warmth, Water, Fireworks, Magic, Excitment, Fun! ~ I'm so grateful for all of my blessings, my amazing family, my loving fiance', and the wonderful life I get to live!

LDS Business College

School's out for the summer!! School's out forever!! So I finished my time at LDS Business College! I would be attending graduation on Thursday, but I'm in California with my family, so I will just be getting my degree and certificate by mail. I have finished my general Associates Degree and I am also recieving a certificate in Medical Office Assisting. I have completed all my classes, I just need to complete my internship and then I will be completely finished! I really have enjoyed my time at LDS Business College. My testimony has been strengthened so much and I have learned to much about other cultures and have been strengthened in my business experience. It has been a great means to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish accademically, but the main thing I have loved are the religion classes I've had the opportunity to take. I have learned so much about the scriptures and about the gospel. Through my marriage class I have been strengthened and I know the knowledge I've gained will better my future marriage. It feels so good to accomplish something you've worked very hard for and I'm so happy to be done! I hope to go back to school to obtain my Bachelors Degree, but we will see what the future brings!
