I hope all of you are getting ready for Christmas and everything is going well for you. I love this time of year and I think its going to be a really great Christmas! I just can't seem to get anything done. A few days ago I had the thought "Oh I am not really even busy and I have plenty of time to get everything done", and now the thought I have just a few days later "AHHH there is no way I am going to get everyting done." Has anyone else had this thought? I know everything will turn out but it just amazes me how in just a matter of days it can change so fast. I still have all my Christmas shopping for Reg to do. I also for some reason decided to be really crafty and make all of these homemade gifts... don't know what I was thinking.Ü Oh and we are moving into our townhouse on the 19th, right before Christmas! AHH so exciting! Crazy times call for crazy measures.
However despite all of the craziness I still can't help loving this time of year. On Sunday our church meetings were extremely good and also listening to the Christmas devotional from the First Presidency has really made me think about the true meaning of Christmas. I know we hear about this alot but it has really hit me this year. I feel so blessed and really am so happy with what we have been given that I really don't want anything for Christmas. Times are tough and I think that for alot of people Christmas will be different this year. I think last night during the devotional President Uchdorf said that this economic problem may be a blessing in disguise. I would like to think of it that way during this time instead of worrying and focusing on the negative. Maybe we can get back to way Christmas was meant to be. Christ truly is the reason.

I'm Back...
I am back for those of you who are still reading my blog, for those of you who aren't reading my blog anymore I don't blame you. I am ashamed of myself. I really had good intentions to keep my blog updated but then I just kept putting it off and it just got worse and worse and then I didn't even know where to start. But now I am back and it feels so good.Ü
We have been living with Reg's parents for the past 2 months and we are going to be moving into our new townhouse in less than 2 weeks! I can't even believe it. We are so excited! We went to see the place yesterday and I didn't want to leave even though it was freezing. I will post some pictures soon. It is going to be the best Christmas present!Ü
Mostly we have just been hanging out and enjoying a little break from school and work. I have been looking for a teaching job but haven't had much luck. Health teachers just aren't in high demand especially half way through the year but that's okay I know that I can get a job next year or who knows what will happen. So since I haven't had much luck in the education department I am now working at Sprint. I feel blessed to be able to have job and am thankful for the way things worked out. Reg will be starting school in January and I think he is ready to get back. So that's where we are at right now and it couldn't be better.Ü

Home Sweet Home
Yes it's true folks. We are back in Utah and here to stay...well at least for a few months :) We made a last minute decision on Wednesday morning and decided to leave on Thursday morning. So we drove all day yesterday. It's a 13 hour drive but it went by pretty fast and bless Regan's heart he drove all the way. It was so nice to see our family yesterday night and we excited to see everyone as soon as we can. So I promise there will be some updates soon and some pictures as soon as I can find my camera cord buried in all of stuff!

To have or not to have?
So because Regan and I have moved so much and traveled alot it has really made us realize what we can live without. When we move for the summers we only take what can fit our car. Each year we try to take less than the year before because it is such a hassle. We still have a whole closet at home full of wedding presents that we have never used and we have been married over 2 years! When we get our new place its going to be like Christmas just being able to use those gifts. Lets just say that I am now an expert packer. This summer I was so proud of our packing! So here is the list of some of the things I have lived without this summer (and fall):
- A good mattress!
- Our own furniture
- Decorations for our place (frames, pictures, etc)
- Most of my kitchen supplies- cookie pan, kitchen aid, rice cooker, etc. (cooking with one pan and one pot can be quite the experience)
- 1/2 of my clothes ( I am really missing my fall clothing right now)
Although we don't have alot out here with us, it really has taught us what is important in life and that it is not all about the things you own. I am grateful for the experiences that we have had together. Sometimes we laugh to think about where we live right now but we know it is only going to make our first home that much more wonderful. Here are some things that we did have this summer:
- Each other!!!
- New friends to keep us sane
- A car that runs smoothly
- Successful jobs
- Seeing new places
- Being a part of great wards
- Creating fun memories that we will remember forever!
We are excited to come back to Utah and see our family and friends! It is going to be a big change for us but change is good.

So it Turns Out...
That I never update my blog. I really didn't realize this until I looked at the dates on my posts! And I hate it when people never update their blogs... but now I can't can I? Unless... I start posting more. So I am saying to you now that I am going to start doing better at posting on my blog cause I know that it is a good thing, like writing in my journal or scrapbooking. I am recommitting to my blog. It is not even News Years and I feel like I am making a new resolution. But here goes, I am going to give it try.

We Moved Again!
Yes its true we moved again! We are now in Omaha Nebraska, so we are making our way closer to Utah. The opportunity came up to move to Omaha and we were pretty much done in Iowa so we thought why not. It was an easy move and everything is pretty much the same except we are in Nebraska. I haven't had alot of time to explore but it seems nice enough, not really a pretty city though. Regan is doing well selling here so we are happy about that. It is official though that we will be home to Utah by October 14! So only a few more weeks. It is crazy to think that we have lived in Idaho, Utah, Minnesota, Iowa and now Nebraska all within the last year! Ha ha! We love it and it is great to see so much while we can.
