about time for another update!!

i know i'm the worst blogger ever... maybe someday i'll be better.
lots has happened since the last time i wrote. well. about 4 major things anyway.

1st- both jon and i lost our jobs on the same day. i don't know if anyone else has been in the unemployed situation recently,but it's near impossible to find a job right now. we looked everywhere. but after almost of month of no income and bills piling up, our future looked more and more like we'd be living in our car soon if we didn't find jobs.

2nd- i've wanted to move out of utah for about 10 years now, so when Kristian, my sister Kira's husband said he could guarantee he could get me a job at UPS and we could stay at their house till we got back on our feet, we decided to take the plunge and move cross-country. We sold EVERYTHING we owned at a big yardsale and took with us only what fit in our car. (which ended up being mostly just my clothes, our movies, and our awesome gaming system collection. as well as our king size bed tied to the roof.)

3rd- unfortunately we discovered that we didn't love cincinnati quite as much as kira and kristian do. work was as hard to find as it was in utah (tho i did get that guaranteed job at UPS), and after we'd been there for 2 months we found out that we are pregnant! we knew we didn't want to raise a family there so--

4th- when jon got a job offer in kansas, we decided to move again. Things just started falling into place since we found out about the baby and decided on kansas. we got a ourselves a little apartment (and everything we needed to fill it, thanks to jon's generous friends). We already have a bunch of good friends here and tonz of support and advice.

"the kid" is due July 20th. we're both hoping for a girl, but we won't find out till halfway through feb.

any bets on if you'll see another update before then???

Digital Scrapbooking

Well i discovered digital scrapbooking a few weeks ago and thought i'd give it a try. There are a lot of really cute, free kits (graphics) out there and i'm slowing compiling a collection. However, i don't have a digital camera yet, (top of the things to buy list) so i'm starting with some old pics. here's a page i made from our wedding day. it's not really done, but i got bored and frustrated working on it, so it's done now!! hope you like it!

Starting Over

So i re-vamped my page a bit. Not than anyone, except maybe Heidi, will notice since i don't think anyone but her has ever read any of my blogs. So Heidi, how do you like my new look? ha ha. anyway, it was getting messy and turning into some sort of scratch pad or something. so i created a new blog for my personal journal and scratch pad.

Here i just want to keep people updated with what's going on in my life. So in case you don't know anything about me or the amazing man i married, i'll catch ya up quick. I was born and raised in the Heber Valley. Me and Jon met at mutual activity when we were 13 when he was living with his grandpa in Midway. Even though he moved away within a year and a half, he always kept in touch and came to visit me whenever he could. 8 years later he finally convinced me to marry him. Now we've been married for almost 3 years. We're living in a little 700 sq. ft. house in American Fork. We both work at Taco Time. We have 2 kitties which are not really kittens anymore at all, and their names are Raphie and Elphie. We like to ride our quad, go to vegas, buy movies, and spend a lot of time on our computers.

I hope one day i'll have a cool blog that everyone loves to read, so i guess i should stop deleting everything and start adding more. the thing is writing more usually requires doing more first and i really don't do a lot besides work and sleep. so i'll try to keep this updated with new happenings when they happen. Just don't forget about me!
MUCH LOVE!
