Wow, it has been a really long time since I have written a blog post. I really wish I had more time to write and document our lives. Quite frankly our lives are so busy right now that we have to force ourselves to spend time together and have fun things to write about. Which is absolutely 100% needed! We have been completely consumed with work and school these last couple months and it probably won't get any better until I finally graduate in December! (Yeah that is still the best thing in the world to say). I cannot wait to feel like I can breathe again. My schedule is crazy to say the least. I am up by five AM and off to work in South Jordan and then I am back and forth between there and school in Orem and I don't get back home until 11:30 PM. Which leaves me very little time in the wee hours of night to get as much homework and studying done until I fade off to sleep and wake up and start all over again. I even have to work Saturdays most of the time, so my life is packed and maybe you can see why I cannot wait until my last semester is over! But I am sure we all have our struggles and you don't care too much to hear about mine. Maybe I can look back at this point in my life and laugh, because maybe I will wish that I could go back to this stress instead of what I am going through in the future. For now, this is all I know and I don't like it one bit! But amidst all of this craziness I have been so lucky to take some much needed time away from school and work and hang out with my hunk of a husband. He really is my rock. He keeps me sane (as much as he can at least) on most days. I just have to remind myself that the most important thing in life is my family. It isn't always about getting straight A's or making sure I get all of my hours in at work. It is so important to take time to relax and enjoy some much needed family time. So here are some pictures that I gathered from my phone that have captured some of our fun times this past month.
Playing with Zoey in the yard is always fun for us. This pup really loves to play fetch and she is so dang cute while doing it.
Brandon and I always look forward the the family golf days. Even though he is stuck with me being on his team every time we still have a blast! I always love getting together with the Jensen's for some fun family competition.
General Conference is always amazing. I absolutely love sitting in my pajamas, with no makeup, messy hair, all with the one that I love, listening to the words spoken pour out from heaven. We are so beyond blessed to have modern day revelation and to have the restored gospel in our lives. I don't know where I would be without the knowledge that I have. I am so thankful for my testimony and for the testimony of those around me. I am grateful for a living prophet to guide us in these dark days. It is so great to have a network of people who believe and support the same things we do. We are so lucky. Life on Sunday is forever my favorite. (eek! I have wrinkles! I am getting old!)
I got to take my companies Jazz tickets for a fun night out. It was on a school night, but I didn't care. I really needed a break from everything, so it was a definite "yes!" when I was asked if I wanted to take the tickets. We ate some yummy street tacos and watched the Jazz play the Trail Blazers for the third year in a row (I think we definitely need to go to a different game someday). I enjoyed a night out on the town with the husband, that is for sure!
Girls day. So much fun! I am so glad when I get a chance to hang out with my mom and my sisters. We went to Gardner Village to shop and eat yummy food. Doesn't get much better than that. My only wish is that we had more time in the day and that we could get together more. Living so far away kills me. I miss my family time a lot and I can't wait till we are at a point in our lives where we can make it happen much more often. LOVE YOU ALL!
For my companies holiday party this year, we went to see 'The Maze Runner'. It was a pretty good movie but of course the free movie, free popcorn, and free drinks made it that much better!
Right after the movie we went to see REAL play. It was a really good game and we had a great time. It is awesome to have a husband who now shares a love for soccer like I do! I am grateful for the fun things we have been able to do together and I can't wait until we can do so much more.
Seriously, this guy is my favorite. I am so grateful for all he does to make me happy. Life is so much more enjoyable when he is around.
