Our Apartment

By popular demand, here are a few pictures of our apartment. Life for us is good! We love our ward and the friends we've made. Although we are busy, we have loved being married and cherish the little time we have together.

Some exciting things for us to look forward to in the near future are going to Oregon in June for the Brennan family reunion, going to New York City for our belated honeymoon, and traveling to Canada for Christmas. We look forward to seeing all of our relatives in the near future!

Amy's Wedding

One of my best friends got married last weekend and I drove to the nuptuals in Salt Lake City. Gordon, unfortunately had to work, so we spent the weekend apart :(

It was a beautiful wedding! I didn't cry at my wedding, but I cried at hers....strange. Amy Lagerberg was the first one to get married out of our group, then me and then this Amy. We lived together for 2 years and were attached at the hip. Now Lager lives in Utah with her husband and baby girl, I live in Rexburg with Gordon, and Amy Hutchins-Diestler is moving to Chicago with her new husband. I suppose the tears had something to do with not having them close by anymore. Anyways, it was a long and joyous weekend, but I was certainly happy to come home. Poor Gordon was so sad and lonely, he didn't know what to do with himself all weekend. Absence does make the heart grow fonder.

A (sort of exciting) Saturday

Its Memorial Day weekend! Hooray for federal holidays. As much as we love our crazy schedules, I'm happy to report we are doing absolutely nothing this weekend. Today, we got to watch Zoe and Keegan while Shayna and Tony went to a movie. They crack me up! I fed them a fudgcicle, and they devoured it! To prevent drips and sticky fingers, I held it while they licked. Little did I realize that their dirty mouths would make contact with our couch cushions.....silly me! Nothing that baby wipes can't handle, though.

Earlier this week, Gordon finished projects for an english class and an accounting class. He is kept very busy with classes and work at Citi. On Wednesday, I took the state Developmental Specialist for adults test and passed (thankfully). This allows me to actually be certified for the job I got hired for. Now I get to write program plans for the clients we have at Riverside Service Group, as well as attend ISP meetings and complete 6 month status reviews. My job can be challenging, but I have a great boss and great employees. Also, learning sign language has been pretty fun! Gisella seems to know more than me, but I'm learning more....slowly.
