Stressed

Okay so this is definately a venting post!! :) Okay so working 52- 60 hours a week is so not fun!! i have no time to cook, clean, or workout! And kevin has it even worse! He leaves to school at 7am and comes home between 11- 430 am!! thats right 430!!!! the other day he had a homework assignment that was due and it took foreverhe started the assignment at noon and didnt get home till 430!! He was stuck at school doing it!! And the sad thing is ... When i went to visit him at 1230am he was the furthest one done in that whole lab!!! This major is soo intense!!! But he did finish so thats a plus! Its just so hard never seeing him!! i am going a little nuts!! lol.. But I know prayers are answered and I just need to have a little more faith! But i saw a great talk on byu tv today... It was Elder Holland and he was saying how hard it was for him and his wife and how they had no money and wanted to go home all the time because it was so hard to make it work (amen to that). He just gave great words of encouragement!! That talk was definately made for me!!! :) If anyone wants to hear the talk go to http://speeches.byu.edu/?act=viewitem&id=1819&tid=2 . I just have to remember how blessed we are to have Kevin attend this amazing school!!

BYU vs SDSU

So we went to see my little sister's boyfriend's basketball team (SDSU) play BYU.
He is the one in the middle with black sleeves with a white middle and a mowhawk:)

We got amazing seats. Front row and almost center! Guess who we saw?
Elder Nelson and...
Elder Oaks!!!They walked right in front of us!!! Like literally less than a foot away from us!

So of course we shoved our hands in front of them and made them shake our hands!

They are so nice! Truely men of God!

We all had a ton of fun!! Kevin is behind the camera:)

Thank you Bryan!! We owe you!

Build A Bear

We went to Build A Bear Workshop for a date!! I told Kevin if I got my new job then I wanted to go! I got the job so here we are!!
Kevin loved the Highschool Musical outfits. Actually he really didnt!!
Here we are getting his birth certificate!! haha!
May we introduce you to Capernicus...



Kevin picked out the name! With his name choosing skills he will never choose our children's names. lol It was so fun and I am so grateful for Kevin and him putting up with these "fun" dates!!!

Keeping In Touch

So I have two jobs and am busy working 53 hours a week now. But I am so excited cuz now we can pay for Kevin's school!! Kevin is starting another semester and focusing on getting into the engineering college! We are having fun but it is soo freezing and the roads are so icy. But the snow is beautiful!! We hope everyone at home is doing great. We love you all and miss you.

Best Christmas!!

This was the best Christmas because we got to see Kirsten and Torben!! I have missed them soooo much but it is great that they are with their parents:)!! We are soo excited that they are doing so good!! Kirsten couldn't stop talking and I loved it!.. telling me how well she is doing at school and about all her friends. Torben was soo funny... when we walked in he stopped with a huge smile and said " Whoa, How did you get here?" They are soo cute and I am so grateful for the oppurtunity that Kevin and I had to have them in our home. They taught us so much and we love them!! And it was great cuz we got to see the rest of our family of course!! :)

Kirsten put a bow on Kevin!! Kevin's a trooper!!

Aren't they so beautiful!! They are such amazing kids!!

We went home!!

We went home!! And watched the sunset!!

We love the beach!!! It was rainy the whole time we were there so there was no surfing!!
But it is so peaceful and beautiful!!
