Okay! We have so much to catch up on! First things first I guess, you can see by the last name that yes, Jimmy and I really did get married! I know I can hardly believe it really happened either since he was making out with like 7 girls at once on the program- but hey, somehow things really did work out!
Where do I start?? After the program I finished at Ricks and moved to Provo to beg my way into BYU, but begging didn't help and they still didn't want me. So, I just lived and worked in Provo a semester and then went on to BYU Hawaii. What a wonderful place- I loved it. I spent one year there and loved it all, but was getting a little bit ancy for "normal" life, so I moved back to the mainland. I did one semester there and then Jimmy came out and did one with me also and then we moved home together to California to work and save money. blah blah blah... are you so bored yet!! After a couple months home, he finally asked me to marry him.. but oh, yeah- I did write him his entire mission (but I did not "wait" for him). When he got home we just kind of picked up where we left off.
So we worked in the bay area a while, I lived with his cousins and then we got engaged in March and married in June of 2002. After we got married we were absolutely clueless as to where to go- so we picked Arizona because ASU had both of our majors and we thought maybe we should actually finish our degrees!! So, they accepted us, we packed our U-Haul and drove out to our new home! Kind of scary, but little did we know then how much we would love it here. We bought our first home (still live there) 3 years ago and currently live in Gilbert. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. All but the horrid summers! So, please come and visit us anytime if you're in town! We finished our degrees at ASU, mine in Elementary Ed, Jimmy in Real Estate Business, and we were on our way.
I got my first teaching job teaching 6th grade and loved it until I started feeling a little bit sick! WOOPS! Baby #1 was on it's way- surprise! So, that cut my first year of teaching very short- I had my sweet little boy Mason in early March. So- I quickly said goodbye to my teaching career. But, I love the major and am still so glad I chose that field, maybe someday I'll go back. My second baby, Landon just turned one this month so we have 2 darling boys!! I love them both so much.
My days are filled with wiping buts and making beds! Stay at home mom- but I love it all. If you remember me at all, you probably remember that I have to stay busy all the time, so I keep us all very busy with random activities. I love my life and what I'm doing. I feel so blessed and lucky. Here a few pics of our family and be sure to visit our family's blog also! Hope all is well with all of you- let's get this reunion together, what a blast! Only if Garth Ladle will bring his rocks and quiz us! I was dying laughing Annie when you wrote about him pulling the van over to give us geology lessons! Gotta love Brother Ladle- I don't think I learned one thing!
