My Mom is Fabulous


Hurray for my AMAZING MOM! Last week my mom finished a long awaited goal. For the past 26 years she has been taking classes here and there, raising 6 children and millions of other things. But finally she is a College Graduate. She has dedicated the last year to her education. I have never seen a more diligent student. She put my entire college experience to shame with her dedication. She studied night and day! We are all so proud of her!!!!! Not only is she a college graduate but an amazing mother. She guided our footsteps every day of our lives, holding off on her own dreams, but never letting them go while she helped us achieve ours. I am so proud of her for going for her dreams and never letting go of a goal that for years seemed impossible. She has always had an attitude of learning. She has self taught herself so many skills and taken a few little classes here and there, but always learning something new: Calligraphy, sewing, crocheting, ceramics, re-finishing furniture, family history expert, scrap-booking, institute, religious studies, painting, decorating, cooking, reading, musical studies and etc.!!! She is the greatest example of an educated person. I love her and adore her and I am so grateful for her example. Way to go Mom!!!!! OH and my awesome older brother also graduated! It is really cool that they were able to graduate together because he is the first reason that she decided to put off her own ambitions and devote her life to others.

Whaaaahoooo We've entered the blogging world

Hello, I am so excited that I have finally sat down and made our blog. I have soooo enjoyed reading the blogs of others and have wanted to start one of our own for several months. Hurray today is the day that I branch out into the world of blogging.

So, a little about how we are doing:

I finished college two years ago this summer and have loved working as my sister-in-laws, personal assistant/office manager. We were the managers for a little housing complex in Rexburg while we were going to school and early this spring we decided to leave. So, we have been living in Idaho Falls for the past few months, while Scott interviewed for teaching positions and while we have been looking in the market to buy our first home. Scott graduated last Dec. and has been hired to teach 7th grade math at a Jr. High here in Idaho Falls. He is really excited to teach 7th grade. I think he is nuts, but he loves that age group. Some time in the next year he will start working on his masters degree.

Well, that is our little update for now! I will be posting some pictures very soon!
