Today i am so THANKFUL for family do not know what i would do without them :)

So this past week Jared has been sick with Strep :( poor guy but he is much better now on his antibiotic. This past weekend Jared tried to surprise me with Disney on Ice tickets because i love it! then he got sick so he had to tell me about it cause i needed a date! So my friend Emily needed a sitter while she went out so i thought her little girl Paige would appreciate it more than anyone and she did! it was such a fun night and she loved it. She is such a cute girl. thanks Em for letting me have paige for the night! :)

Life is going too fast and i cant keep up. Jared and i are still both in school full time and are very busy but we of course find time to have fun... I couldnt be more excited for the holidays to be here. ask Jared i even skipped a class to decorate for halloween! :) For Halloween we only got 2 tricker treaters how sad! lol but it was a great time. We went out with some of our good friends jenny and rob we went to dinner and played some games it was a great night we have awesome friends out here and are so grateful. We have been so crazy busy that we didnt even get to carve our pumpkins till the day before. Last year we tried to get real fancy and it took forever and i got frustrated cause mine was hard so we decided to keep it simple this year! It was such a good night. This year we are spending thanksgiving with my family and i couldnt be more excited i havent been home for this in 3 years, then we are going on a CRUISE for christmas with Jareds family. We're heading to the bahamas and are counting down the days we're ready for both vacations.. It has gotten quite cold here and i cant say i hate it yet it reminds me of the holidays once there is 3 feet of snow i might have a different opinion but for now its great. Well theres a quick update! I will try harder to keep up just know we're so happy and loving our busy life :)

We Love you and miss you more everday..

In August we lost someone that means a lot to both of us Jareds mom passed away after battling cancer for 2 years and it has not been an easy road. We are getting through though his family is so strong and i am so grateful to be apart of it. You know Heavenly Father never gives you things you can not handle and just when you think you are about to break you surprise yourself and get through it. Family is a great thing and i know heavenly father gives them to you cause you couldnt get through life without them. Jared is so strong and I am so impressed by his testimony and am so glad he knows he'll see her again. It doesnt make her being gone any easier but it is a comfort. We love and are thankful for all the great friends and family that have sent their love and prayers during this hard time.
