A Winter in Portland

At BYU-Idaho they have a system with three semesters and they only assign you two, so me and Michael are on the Fall/Spring Semester and have our off track in the Winter semester.  Now that we are married, we spend the winter in Portland.  This was my first winter away from Driggs and Rexburg.  It was also my first time being away from home this long, so I was worried that I would have a hard time adjusting.

Our winter semester in Portland was a lot of fun.  I also got a job at a gym called Club Sport and worked at the juice bar for them. It was so nice because I also got a free membership, so it was nice to have a place to workout at when it was freezing out side. I loved that job though it was a really good one for three months. I hope that I can go back to it someday even if it is as a personal trainer.

We did a lot of fun things while in Portland we went to 3 Blazer games and 1 Hockey game. We got to go up to the beach house in Washington where we had our honeymoon, it was a lot colder though, so we didn't get to do much, but it was still a lot of fun.  While in Oregon we got news that my grandpa past away, so me and Michael drove up to see my family in Moses Lake.  We also stopped in Seattle to do some site seeing which was a lot of fun.  When we got to Moses Lake it was so good to see my mom and my sisters, I was starting to have a hard time without my family, so it was good to see them.

Here are some pictures for part of our Winter break.











We also got to see the premiere of Hunger Games, which was a midnight showing, we had a lot of fun and loved watching all the crazy people around us and what they dressed up like.  It was a good movie, but the book of course was a lot better.  One last big thing that we did before we left Oregon was babysat the bishops kids(the Dickson's).  They have 5 boys all under the age of 13, so there was never a dull moment. I actually had a lot of fun the whole time.  The kids are really good, they listen to everything you say and they a lot of fun to play with.
Here are some pictures of the boys we watched.



The two boys names that are missing is Tyler's and Cole, they are in the I love you picture though.

We got to spend Easter with them to is was so fun hiding there baskets and having an Easter Sunday lesson for them to do. We also went over to Michael's house and had Easter dinner and they got to go find more eggs, so I think Easter was a success for them.






 Play Time!









We had such a good time in our off track and barely made it with out my family! I am excited to go back and have more experiences with my wonderful husband.  ps we also did go you San Francisco, so look for that in my next blog.

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going,  Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.)  We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while!  I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...

WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO

You always know when someone is going to giving you bad new. They sit you down and look at you with a sad/serious face. Then come the words you new you would hear, "I have some bad news".  And in your mind you are trying to figure out what could possibly be going on. Well as you probably guessed, this happened to me about a month ago. I was eating breakfast and Michael sat next to me and told me that he "had some bad news". I stopped eating and just stared at him waiting for the news,  but I had an idea of what he was going to say. I normally never get bad news and the look Michael had on his face told me everything. We were moving. Once it finally came from his mouth I burst into tears. He began to tell me that we would be moving to Tualatin, OR    Michaels Parents need his help with the Business in Oregon because it is doing so well.  He is needed so that the bus...
