It's ABOUT TIME I finally update this blog! Sorry for being so busy with finals and such. Unfortunately, those had to take priority over blogging.
Well, it's being all rainy lately. I suppose the weather still hasn't quite made up it's mind like I have---it's summer! I will say though that the cloud cover and drizzle do make for some beautiful coloring outside. I guess it just doesn't do much to color ME! haha Just kidding. :)
It's nice to be done with school for the summer. Matt still has classes so he can graduate in December, though. This means we still get to drive down to Ogden every Tuesday and Thursday. I have to admit that the hour-long drive gets kind of tiresome sometimes....and I'm not even the one driving!
I've been doing the "stay-at-home-wife" thing lately. :) I keep myself busy with household chores and projects. My "summer job" is babysitting for my aunt Heidi who has an adorable little girl, Isabelle, who is 18 months old. We get to play for a few hours most weekdays while her mom works as an office manager. It's very good preparation for motherhood! We have a lot of fun together that's for sure! One day I'll get to be a stay-at-home-MOM. :)
Another thing that I've been working on is sewing--YAY! I have all kinds of fun, bright fabrics and dress designs to make and sell baby dresses at craft fairs and maybe online. I haven't gotten very far on this project yet, but we'll see how it goes. It's fun anyway.
The latest development occupying our minds is that Matt is looking for work in the Salt Lake area. He's had a few interviews for different jobs, and we've looked at housing costs and such down there. We'll see what happens. We're hoping to move there within the next month if everything works out. We're keeping our fingers crossed! When we were there in Riverton interviewing and looking for apartments we felt good about it all. Now we just have to wait and see what the outcome will be! (I think that's the hardest part!)
Last Sunday we had our ward conference with the theme, "...by small and simple things are great things brought to pass...." (Alma 37:6-7) It made me think a lot about how true that principle is. I made a list of small and simple things that I can improve upon in my life. I know that the smallest things can make a huge difference for good or for bad, and that's something important to remember. The counsel we heard was so inspiring, and I was ready to tackle the world the next day. I'm grateful for our great leaders in the church both local and church-wide.
Well, I think that's all for now folks! I'll do my best to keep this blog updated with our latest news! :)
