So I realize that I suck at this whole blog thing. But I'll go ahead and give it another try. ;)
We moved across town about a month ago now. It is a really nice place! Clean, friendly neighbors and management, beautiful grounds, gated, and not to mention Jonas' favorite the Coy Pond! Though it has been a month, we are still no where close to being completely moved in and unpacked. half of my living room is overrun by boxes, there is less storage in the kitchen than what we were used to so there is stuff everywhere in the kitchen, and don't even get me started on the bedrooms! It's tough to get it all done when Mike and I both work about 25-30 hours a week. And some days only see each other for maybe an hour or two. But we are slowly getting everything put together. (We may have to pack it all up by the time we get it all unpacked! ;))

Jonas is almost two years old. Can you believe it?! It seems like it was just yesterday that he was born! He eats everything! He loves fruits and veggies!! Bananas are his favorite! He also loves frozen peas, peanut butter, milk, and anything that mom or dad are eating. He helps me do some chores around the house like putting things in the trash, checking the mail, putting laundry in the dryer, picking up his toys (with MUCH guidance), and putting dirty dishes in the sink. he loves to race you places! He loves running and being outside. He talks way too much! ;) He is making more sense out of his words though now, but sometimes I still don't know what he wants.

Mike and I are doing well. Work has been a little hectic lately because they have fired a lot of people recently so everyone is walking on eggshells trying not to ripple the pool. But with that have come a few openings that we have applied for (all full-time by the way). So we will see where that takes us. Mike starts school this coming week and will be spending a lot of time doing his online studies. I am still Visiting Teaching Supervisor at Church and Mike is now the Second Counselor in the Elder's Quorum Presidency. Jonas is loving Nursery and getting better at sitting still in Sacrament meeting. Our lives are pretty good at this moment in time and we can't really complain.

I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the healing power of the Priesthood. I am even more grateful to have my husband, a worthy priesthood holder, in our home. My Heavenly Father has blessed me so much lately and I haven't really noticed it or acknowledged it. I know that my Redeemer lives and that through Him I can gain eternal life! Have faith through these trying times and the Lord will bless you with what you need to get through!
