Mission Reunion weekend

So, last weekend Jacob and I went down to Utah for his mission reunion, and it was a pretty cool experience! I got to meet a lot of awesome people, most of whom I had no idea who they were. But it was so fun. This picture is of us with his mission president and his wife. They flew all the way from Korea! They were really nice. Anyway, just wanted to put up this picture, and my computer actually let me! Love it!

Changes

So, since spring is supposedly on its way (I say that because we had a snow storm this morning), things will be changing for Jacob and I soon, and we're pretty excited! First of all, I changed my hair color! I figured it was time to see what it would be like being blonde with long hair. I just did it yesterday, and I think I'm still adjusting, but I think that I like it, or will soon come to. But I thought I'd put up a picture for those of you who forgot what I looked like growing up (minus these last few years).


Also, we'll be moving in a few weeks! Just down the hallway, but I'm pretty excited for that. I have a feeling I'm going to get confused a lot on which door I'm supposed to be going to in order to get to my own apartment. I'm not much of a fan of moving but it's only a few feet away, so I figure I can manage this since we won't have to pack up the car.

Aside from that, our only other change is the school semesters, which, I am probably most excited about! I will be able to go back to part time work, and I'll actually be doing something I am interested in again! I'm sure once it starts I'll be saying differently, but for now, it's a welcome change. Jacob will be done with this semester next week, which I think will be a pretty big relief for him. We're actually about to head down to Utah for his mission reunion right now, and he's definitely excited, and I am too, just because I think it will be oool to see all the people I've heard so many stories about. Speaking of that, I actually need to finish getting things ready, so I'm going to head out, but I am trying to post my picture of my new hair color for you Caitlyn and mom, my computer just doesn't like to have too much pressure put on it so it might now work, but I'll see what I can do.

Time after missing Stake Confrence

If you were wondering why the title is way it is, it's very simple! We woke up this morning and basically missed stake conference! I guess we're going to go to Hell. Or I mean heck if Kristin reads this. But for the record we did get ready for church but then received a call from our friends asking what time was stake conference. We didn't know it but soon found out that we did missed it from other friends of ours. Now we're sitting in our living room waiting for the snow to pass by so we can take pictures outside, and in the mean time we're watching Peter Pan. Pretty good times!
You know it's funny to watch Peter Pan, because we never knew how racist it is. Think about the song Following the Leader. At one point the lost boys sing "we're off to fight the injuns!" (meaning the Indians) Also John refers to them as savages. How about the song What makes the Red-Man Red? Man Disney is pretty racist!! Kristin even brought up to me that there is no special meaning in the Little Mermaid. Think about it. She does everything to be accepted. She even sells her own soul. Really she just wants to hook up with Prince Eric. I now think she is a Mer-HO!!! If there is any good point to that movie I would like to see others respond to this post and explain what it is!
KRISTIN IS NOT PREGNANT!!!! We understand that many are excited for the day to come when we'll have kids, but when we're ready we'll let all know!! But yesterday Kristin did have something in the oven it was nice cookies she made for us. If anyone wants some just come over before they are all gone. Which wont be for long.
We only have a month left before the semester is over. Which is nice because as much as I love Biblical Hebrew I can't wait for it to be over. Kristin is also excited to get this year over so she can finish school and graduate. Life is good, but Rexburg could be better. Peace!!!

Exciting happenings of our life

So I know it's been awhile again, I probably say something to that extent though every time so next time I just won't. There's really not a whole lot happening here though, Jacob's so busy with school and work that he hardly gets a break, which pretty much leaves time for me to sleep in and then do nothing but go to the gym or work, I prefer the first. We have both decided what we want to do with our lives, and that feels amazing! He wants to go into HR, I can't tell you how often I forget what that stands for, I just think of Toby on the Office. He's really excited about it though, and I'm really happy for him. I've been looking a lot into personal training, but that means I need to get myself into better shape. I've done pretty good and am staying at it, but I think my real issue is my eating habit, so I'm just going to have to work on that. I just really like treats! But it's definitely nice to be at the gym also, so I just balance them out...

Those are basically the exciting events of our lives. Next time I think it will be Jacobs turn to post something on here, seeing as how I am the only one yet to do so. And maybe next time I'll even have pictures!

No Caitlyn, our blog did not die!

So I realize that it's been a few weeks since I last posted, but it's only because if I told you what I was doing you would be more bored than me! Well, maybe. I don't know. But as for exciting things in our life, Jacob is starting his new job! After Progrexion closed we weren't sure if he was even going to work or not, but then we decided we could always use the extra income so he's now working with me at Lexington! It's kind of cool to look over your cubicle and see your husband across the room... Oh the office romance!... Actually it's not a whole lot different than before because he's now just working on a different side of the room. But I've changed my schedule so that we can work at least similar shifts because basically all I do now is sit around all day if I'm not working! My plan is always to go to the gym, but I don't think people should be allowed to go outside when it's -20 degrees! Yes, it really was that cold. Kind of ridiculous! Welcome to Rexburg. Other than the cold and large amounts of snow though things are really good for us here! We seem to have a lot of nice people around who love playing yuker, even though that's probably not how it's spelled... Jacob's taught like ten other groups since he learned so that's pretty fun. I think he's practicing for the next time we go to Illinois. He'll definitely be ready!

Yay I can post pictures! That's exciting. Anyway- I just thought the picture of Jacob and I was fun and the other is the temple we got married in - Rexburg! I love it! It's so beautiful! I just wanted to put it up because I'm learning how to post pictures. It's definitely not as hard as I thought.

Don't worry.. I didn't forget!

So I know it's already been awhile since my last post but just so we all know, I haven't forgotten about our blog already! I'm trying to learn how to make it look nice still and I was going to wait to make my next post when I could, but I am taking too long to do that. Takes too much effort. So eventually I will get to decorating and I am even going to try to post pictures too! Lindsay told me so I'll probably try that today. Because I can.

So other than my lack of ability to understand computers not a whole lot is happening for us here in Rexburg. We had a really great break, I loved it because Jacob got to see where I grew up and vice versa. I met some of his old friends and that was really fun! It was also really nice to be home but it went by way too fast! Hopefully we'll be able to go back this summer but we'll see what happens! I also discovered that I am terrible at taking pictures (due to the fact that I did not take any when I was home), so my new goal is to work on that. It would probably be helpful to do something exciting, so we're going to work on that as well! This may be difficult, seeing as Jacob is back to school on Wednesday and I'll be working, but we're doing our best to not be boring I promise! I'll make sure to do something exciting, take a picture, and post it all soon!
