Aaaannndddd.....WE'RE OFF!

   Well, it has been a little bit since we wrote anything on here because things just up and got all kinds of crazy on us! School started on the 12th of September. Glen is taking mostly online classes with a few in the mornings in class. I however, do not do well with online classes so I am going old school :). Nevertheless, we are both taking 12 credits and that's keeping us busy. Glen seems to be enjoying his classes (despite the early hour) and is doing well. I am enjoying most of my classes with of course the token math class that gives me a challenge, but I keep pushing and Glen is helping as much as I'll let him :). 
   On the 18th we went to our married student ward for the first time. We liked it very much, the people there are very nice as well as the Bishop, we think it will be a good fit!
   A week after school started was a very special day...GLEN'S BIRTHDAY! While he was getting ready I snuck out into the living room to our key hook to attach one of his gifts to the key ring. He asked me a few months ago for a key chain oil vial, so that's one of the things I got him. I put it on the key ring and went back to bed (I didn't have to get up yet :) :) ). Glen kissed me goodbye and left (or so I thought). I close my eyes and next thing I know I hear shrieking and a grown man comes flying my direction...apparently he liked the gift. I think he's easy to please, but as long as he's happy! I gave him strict orders that morning that that was to be his lazy day, and I enforced it! That night we had a little ward activity that we had to go to and mean Glen wouldn't let me tell people it was his birthday because he didn't want to have them sing to him, what a party pooper! ;) After the ward thing we did some homework (unfortunately that didn't get put on pause for his birthday) then our friend Kassy came over and we had some birthday cake which I made (not very well might I add). I forgot to get icing to write on the cake so I had to write "Happy 27" in individually placed sprinkles...it looked like the art of a 5 year old but hey, I tried!


    Other than that we are chugging along doing the best we can with school, job hunt and everything else. We also got our wedding pictures from our FANTASTIC photographer. I will add those later along with some pictures of our apartment! Love you all and hope all is well with you!

Setting up is.....fun?

Hello Hello!
   Well, as promised we set up an old married people blog! So far we have been married for a little over a week and are loving it! We got back to Rexburg last Tuesday and crashed after a long day of traveling! Wednesday however was not as much fun because when we woke up we realized that both of us had gotten taken out by a lovely cold. So we were pretty much zombies for that first day or so. But when we started to feel better we drove into Idaho Falls and did the shopping for our apartment with some of our gift cards (thanks to all who got them for us!). Then  we went and did our first big shopping trip which we had a lot of fun doing, but there is definitely a lot of learning to do in that area! I am looking for any way I can for us to save money so I am doing some learning when it comes to that kind of stuff, including a money management class this coming fall which I am excited about. The apartment is coming together pretty well. Once I have it completely together I will post pictures.
   I am on the hunt for a job....again....still and I have already applied a few places. So let's keep our fingers crossed! this is a short one to start but we are doing well and keeping busy! :)

Love to all our family and friend!! We love and miss you!
