Can I just say that I HATE Caleb working 2nd shift. It gets quite lonely and I hate falling asleep alone. It's hard because I babysit during the day while hes sleeping then by the time I get home he's at work and doesn't get back till like midnight. I know I'm just complaining and we don't have it all that bad, but cooking for two and eating alone is no bueno! Thankfully he only has to do it this week (I hope)!!
To try and fill the time I have decided to reread Harry Potter and I forgot how simply wonderful these books are I haven't been able to stop reading! I'm almost to the second book, but I'm really exited to read the last one again because I hardly remember it.
Saturday Is Calebs birthday and I got him his big present I'm trying to figure out a little fun gift I can get him I'm clueless at this point.
Last but not least this nanny babysitting thing has been going pretty good but I think these little boys get bored and Ive run out of fun activities to do with them any ideas?

The married life so far...
Being married to Caleb for the 12 days I have been has pure bliss :) I cant say enough how much I love this boy. Ive been lame on my postings so ill do a brief catch up. We obviously were married on July 9Th and had a beautiful wedding (still don't have all the pictures will post those later on) and then went to Cedar point for the weekend as a little get away. For those of you who don't know, Cedar point is an amusement park full of roller coasters that made me wanna cry, puke, and pee my pants
. It was nice to get away for a couple days and do something fun. We go a hotel and stayed for one night and got to rife for 2. There is also a water park so we went back and forth which was well worth it considering the 90 degree weather!
After coming home from Cedar point Caleb had the whole week off so we did little odds and end things to keep busy. I did make him watch all of the Harry potter movies and then went and saw the last one (which was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!) with my little sisters :) I think by now hes a little Harry Pottered out buuut I'm going to Reread the books as soon as I find someone with them ( mine were left in AZ )
So as a wife its obviously my duty to make my hubby dinners. Im no chef but Im capable of throwing some stuff together. I had made a few dinners and it went real smoothly. Well I decided to make spaghetti (one of the easiest things to make) and epically FAILED the noodles all turned to mush, the garlic toast was black and the sauce wasn't very saucy. Needless to say it ended not so well and I apparently need to work on my spaghetti skills. Im making a chicken pasta tonight lets hope it goes well.
Until next time :)

Keeping secrets isnt as fun as it sounds, I promise.
Dont get me wrong I looovee to know and keep secrets. Its nice to know your important enough to hold someones valuable information.
Buuut when its your own exiting information and your being forced to keep you big talker shut then It not as fun.
Needeless to say (before I say to much else where) Its been raining everday for the last week and I LOVE IT considering it never rains in the glorious sunshine state!
Caleb tried to teach me how to drive stick the other day... lets just say he yelled I cried and its going to take a few more times to really get it, considering i didnt make it around the drive haha.

Fresh Start.
As Many of you know I moved to Michigan (On October 31st).
I never thought I would say it buuutt... Ive found many things I love about the state and I am more than glad that I took the Leap and moved here.
(I'm finally a MI resident 6 months later)
Things have been going well lately.
I'm finally registered for school I start May 8th and ill be taking fall classes as well WOOWHOO!!! :] I decided to do the nursing program. Its something Ive always wanted to and finally have the opportunity!
I'm currently working as a waitress for McGonigles Its a little bar in Otsego its nice but I don't nearly make enough. I heard about a job opportunity at the hospital so I'm going to apply and pray that i can get in!
I'm dating a wonderful boy, Caleb. He makes me happy and treats me really well, I couldn't ask for anyone better. He makes me laugh and can put up with all my craziness. I'm really glad and blessed to have met him, hes helped me through some times when i really just wanted to come home.
My family came and visited during their spring break which was fabulous I missed them terribly! We did alot of stuff while they were here mainly just goofed off.
I miss AZ sooo much and I cant describe how many times i find myself thinking about home. I miss all of my girls the sun and knowing my surroundings. All though I am happy now I hope to visit home soon.

The Miracle of Forgiveness
I have just finished reading the Miracle of Forgiveness and it was a very amazing book I'm so glad i took the time to read this book and really love the feelings that it brought to my heart. I think everyone should have the experience of reading this book it was truly heart changing to me :] The thing that stuck out to me the most in this book was this quote:
"After a person has been assigned to his place in the kingdom, either in the Telestial, the Terrestrial or the Celestial, or to his exaltation, he will never advance from his assigned glory to another glory. That is eternal! That is why we must make our decisions early in life and why it is imperative that decisions be right."
This quote really stuck me. It made me realize how important it is to make righteous holy decisions now because this is the time for us to prove ourselves to Heavenly Father. It is important for us to follow the commandments listen to the words of the prophet. Im so blessed to know that this church is true and to know that the scriptures are a personal map to our lives and if we follow that guidence we will exceed and be on the righteous path... My main goal is the Celestial kingdom and being able to be with my family eternally.
