One whole year later...

One year of marriage has been endured.
About one year seems to have passed since I have last updated too.

Here we are only a couple days married enjoying the end of our honeymoon. Please ignore the fact that I look pretty dorky. We stayed at Zions National Resort in this sweet cabin and watched buffalo roam in the fields.This is us today, trying to look serious and magazine worthy. For our one year anniversary we decided to get out of town for at least one day and revisit the honeymoon destination. This time instead of watching the buffalo, we ate part of one in a very tasty omelet.

For those of you that have been asking for a baby bump picture this is it for now. I am 13 weeks along with the little one right there. I am due the first or second week of December. We are really excited!

Below are some pictures of the landscape where we were staying. It is right outside Zions National Park. After our night stay we drive back through and I got to see it for the first time. It is beautiful.Outside of Zions we stopped and looked at some gallerys filled with overpriced, but very cool, metal sculptures and sweet pottery. We found this sweet car and felt the need to pose.

We took some pictures of us at "One Year" This is how we have turned out. We are both still sane, a little more patient, and a lot more in love.

For my birthday Rod took me to get my hair done.
The black hair, which was a little too much for me has been replaced by a beautiful brown, thanks to the talented workings of Rod's cousin Taunie. Thank you!
Rod surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet too!

Rod on the other hand, has not cut his hair since we were married. He likes it this way and it grows and grows and grows on me. He is finally getting to play basketball because we have been assembling our fence the last three weekends. It is tough and I don't even do much! But the summer is just getting hotter and hotter and no matter how early you start it still tries to kill you. The fence is awesome though! And we only have a few more weekends to go before we finish.

Here is the reason I have not updated in the last couple months. Rod and I have been working two jobs since the end of March. The 2nd week of March SunHawk, the residential school we have worked at the last year, announced a mandatory meeting. Rod and I were not too excited about going but did anyway. We made jokes about what it would be about and laughed when we suggested, "They are going to gather us all in a room and tell us we're fired!"
Well that was the truth. SunHawk announced they were closing and that we were all fired. To make it more intersting, we all had to wait in line to receive a little green folder that had our "termination date" within it. We stood in line like new students receiving your school schedule for the year.
Rod and I have jobs until August. They decided to keep us until the end. We will miss the people we work with and the kids we teach...and the close proximity. Things change in life.
I got another job a week later at Horizon Academy and Rod got a job at Diamond Ranch Academy two weeks later.
So we have no social lives. We work and work and work and then we sleep on the weekend.
Everything happens at once too. We get fired, get news jobs, and then find out we are pregnant all at the same time.
Life is Grand!! And it is all worth it.
I am eternally grateful that Rod and I were sealed in the temple and that we have the gospel to help us through what life throws at us.
That way when someone says you are "fired" you can laugh and know that things will work out eventually, as long as you try your best.
