Our new 2006 Jetta/Adoption

Brian and I traded in the Beetle for a '06 Jetta. We LOVE it!

Recently, Brian and I have made the decision to go through the adoption process. We are very excited about this decision. We feel that this is good for our family. Next week we are going to a class at LDS Family Services so we can learn what we need to do to get this process going. It is all I think about and I know that Heavenly Father has had a hand in our decision.

So, we needed to get a 4 door car because I didn't want to fit a car seat in the back of the Beetle. We got a killer deal on this car and couldn't be happier about that.

I am really excited to see how this year is going to play out with the adoption. I know with my luck I will probably get pregnant during this whole thing and then get a baby. It will be like twins. I always wanted twins so I guess that would be ok! ;) I am going to be better at this blog and keep the updates going as we start on this new phase of our lives!!

Since we moved to Utah....

We LOVE living in Utah!!!! If you are ever visiting, come and see us in Spanish Fork!

We've Moved!

Brian and I moved to Spanish Fork, Utah. We are loving it. We have been here a little over a week now. Still trying to get settled, but we are happy here. Mostly because of the money we will be saving! :)
It has been fun to see some friends since we have been here. It really is good to be back. I love the mountains and love that we live just minutes from the Spanish Fork Canyon. The day after we arrived we took a drive up the canyon and drove all the way to Helper (just before Price) before we turned around. It was such a pretty drive....all the fall colors are starting to show. It really is beautiful here.
Well, once I get a chance to add pictures I will.

Our new Car

Yep it even came with a DVD player! We got this car for a steal and it came with fun features. Back up camera, touchscreen radio that is SWEET! I can download all of my music onto it (it is 30 gigs) and never have to take my tunes along because the car already has them. YES! That is my fav feature! There are 3 coolers...one in the dash and 2 in the floor in the middle row. Storage is every where!! There is even a storage bin under the front passenger (which also folds down) for me to hide my purse if I have too!!! The middle seats also recline. So, who wants to go for a ride???

Our new Dodge Journey....funny that when they gave us the keys and we turned on our FREE FOR ONE YEAR Sirius radio it was playing a Journey song! lol

This is the picture we took with Joleene and Dan when they came to visit us from Las Vegas last month. Fun time!! Who knew that the Pioneers wore sunglasses huh?

Fun in SoCal

I thought this blog background best describes where we are living. Life is good here in Lake Elsinore. We love our ward. The people here are great! We are having a slight problem with our credit right now. We wanted to try to get this house and when our Lender ran our credit report it had a few extra's on there that didn't belong to Brian or I.....a mortgage to name one. It doesn't look like credit fraud or anything like a stolen identity because when I called on the Hooter's card...yes, that is right, a Hooter's card....they nice gentleman couldn't pull up info with my SSN or Brian's SSN. So, that is good right. Geesh. We just want to buy this cute starter house. Is that too much to ask?

But, other than that, we are good and having fun. One of my Provo roommates and her husband came out a couple of weeks ago and that was fun to see Joleene and Dan. We spent the day down in San Diego. We have also been having fun game nights with our friends Jennifer (one of my mission comps) and her husband Karl. They are our best friends and we really enjoy spending time with them and their cute little girls!

Brian and I are happy here in our little corner of SoCal.
