Soooooo much to say!

Well, you probably all think I have dropped off the face of the planet. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am still here. ;) So it has been well over 2 months since I last posted. Sorry! So much has happened and I have been so busy. This will probably be the longest post of all time. We will start out with the good stuff though.

On June 19, 2009 my beautiful sister Chelsea married Aaron Dupre' in the Rexburg, ID temple. It was a beautiful ceremony and Chelsea looked breath taking as well did Aaron. They are a very cute couple. Here are a few pics of them.

Cool Photo!

Me and the girls in my family

Stunningly beautiful!

July 4, 2009--the usual festivities with the family and of course, amazing fireworks at the river in IF.



July 21, 2009--Chad leaves for Brazil. My brother, Chad, was called to serve in the Brazil, Campinas Mission for the next two years. He left the IF airport on the 21st. (You can stay updated on his mission by visiting his blog (elderstucki.blogspot.com) or just click on the photo of him in my sidebar. We are so proud of you Chad!


Chad and I


Well, your supposed to be able to see him waving to us. He is the 6th window back. We thought it was cool that he saw us out there. He signed "I love you" and gave us the thumbs up. It was awesome!

Jenn and Tyler moved to Butte, Montana this week. They bought a dental practice and are starting out on a new journey. Good luck guys! We love you!

Jason is working for the old fashioned candy store in West Yellowstone on the weekends. He has such a great talent making candy and other great ideas. Love you Jas!

Mom & Dad are now officially empty nesters. Mom is so busy with Jangles Jewelry and doing great with it. Dad is still working hard as the bread winner. He has lost so much weight recently, you wouldn't recognize him.

Ok, so now the not so good, but actually still good . Mark and I ended our contract with University Courtyard and in so doing we lost our job and our home. We had two weeks to find both to be able to stay on the waiting list for adoption and just be able to live. Some of our best friends, the Wests, found both for us. Their complex had an opening come up and Chris recruits people to work for the company he works for, Prosper. He recruited us and now we are set. (Thanks Wests! You guys are the BEST!) For the last 3 weeks, I have been packing, cleaning, getting the office ready for new managers and now unpacking. Live is great! At first we were devastated about all the changes coming into our lives, but it has been so nice. We are now seeing that our lives are just progressing on. We are just experiencing change, and it is great! We couldn't be happier! I love our apartment! It is a 3 bedroom, two bathroom, huge apartment. I will post pictures as soon as we are unpacked. I have got almost half of the apartment done. I think it is the cutest apartment we have ever had. We have great neighbors and can't wait to meet the new ward.

Lastly, I just want to say thanks to all our wonderful family and friends that have helped us through this time in our lives. We had so many people show up to help us move. It went so fast! We started at 10:30am and we were out of the old place and into the new one by 2:30pm. I couldn't believe it! Thanks again everyone! We love and appreciate you all!

Holy cow! It really has been forever. And a lot has happened. I'm glad things worked out with "life after University Courtyard." You have got a great attitude.

Great pics, too!

Wow, you guys have been busy! It will probably be a blessing not to have to worry about University Courtyard anymore. Good luck with your new place and job! I can't even imagine a 3-bedroom apartment! I hope everything goes well for you guys. We're still praying for you guys to find a beautiful baby soon!
