What am I up to?

This is so fun to have an Oakcrest blog! Thanks Timber! You're great! So, what am I up to? Well, I have a busy, crazy, but super fun life. I have 3 little boys - Zach (5), Preston (3), and Kyle (3 months). I am fortunate enough to be a full-time-stay-at-home-Mom, and I love it! Though some days the "boy-power" in our house is a little nutty. I am also in the process of writing and organizing a mom's co-op preschool program - which has been a lot of fun! We live in Ogden, and Mike works at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center, is still in school, and is the bishop of our ward (which seems to dominate a large portion of our lives). He also still does videography, so if any of you know someone getting married... (shameless plug!). That's kind of a quick overview of what I'm doing now. It was so fun to see so many of you at the reunion! And I love to check your blogs and see what's going on in your lives! Sure love you gals!

What's up

Hi-this is my first ever blog so I hope I do this right. I am a stay at home mom with my three wonderful children. I am loving being at home with them all. Zach is starting 1st grade in a month and Spencer will be in Kindergarten, so its girl time at home every morning with Brynlee. We love our time together. We are on vacation right now in Arizona and Tristan has a job interview down here tomorrow. We'll see what happens. Right now we live in Layton and are enjoying it there. I hope to be able to check this often but I don't have internet at home yet.

What am I up to these days?

For the next 3.5 weeks I will be staying at home all day everyday with my Logan but as soon as school starts, I will be back to work part-time. I teach Spanish I, II and III at Grantsville High School and I am also the Junior Class Advisor and SBO Advisor. I feel really fulfilled in my life. I have the BEST of both worlds: mommy and teacher. I have been serving as RS pres for 1.5 years and I've learned so much! One thing is for sure: I will always be the BEST visiting teacher.

Big Decisions: 1. we are thinking about selling our cute home in Bountiful to move closer to my work and to get out of debt. 2. Jared is also thinking about switching jobs from Carpenter to Truck Driver. I NEVER thought I'd be married to a Truck Driver but the benefits and money are super great.

We've been married for six years and we have our little 15 month old, LOGAN. Jared is my perfect match and I am so happy I found him. He is super outgoing and lives to serve everyone around him. I am very blessed.

Question of the Week Answer

We unfortunately don't have many family pictures, so here we are, in two different pictures!

I will start! I am loving being the wife and mother of one little boy! My Matthew's are so wonderful! We have a lot of fun together! I just finished working for Butler Elementary School, as an Aide in the OI Unit, which has lots of kids in wheelchairs, and with speech devices. They were so awesome, and I learned so much from them! I now work from home doing Transcription work, which is difficult, but I LOVE it! I love being able to stay home with my little Matt! My cute hubby works at Goldman Sachs, a big Investment Bank for the extremely rich, and LOVES it! He is so happy with his job, which is so nice!
We are very happy! We have been greatly blessed! We just moved in to our new home 6 months ago, which is a huge blessing , in and of itself! It was a complete miracle!
I can't wait to hear about everyone else! I love you all tons!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!!!

What are you doing these days?

Hi Everyone!!

Hi! I am so glad that we can keep in touch this way! I thought, for those of you who don't know how, I would give some instructions on how to post.

It is pretty easy to start a new post. Just go up top and click on the "new post" tab (after you have signed in) and then start writing! If you want to add a picture, click on the photo icon (next to the "abc" icon) and upload. The video upload button is right next to the photo icon. When you are finished writing your post, click on the "publish post" button at the bottom of the page. If you want to comment on someones post, click on the comment button below the post. Nice and easy :)

I think this will be a lot of fun! I am going to do a weekly question, so we can all share feelings, etc. Plus, feel free to post whatever you want!
WELCOME TO THE BLOG!

Happy Birthday Oakcrest!

What a great time we had on Friday, July 11th at the reunion! That summer of '99 changed my life and I love you all so very much. I am forever thankful for your examples of leadership, kindness and acceptance. I feel like I've known you all my entire life! Oakcrest is so magical and I am thankful I had a chance to be apart of it for one short summer.
