Oh times change.....

Wow, we have come so far.  My goal is for this to be our new way to keep you all informed and keep a more personal journal of our lives.

As I was reading the last entry, which yes I know was so long ago, I realized how far we have come.

As many of you may or may not know, Russ and I became inactive from the church when we were out of high school.  In September of 2012 we returned after many months of deciding if it was the right time.  Now I am so proud to say that we are almost here at a year later and have a temple date set for our endowments and sealing.  We are unbelievably happy and have never been so sure of something.  The reality that we will be with each other for eternity is an amazing feeling.  I can not wait to write the feelings of that day! September 14, 2013 and October 19, 2013 as an FYI!

I currently serve as the primary president of the Shadow Creek Ward.  Russ currently is serving as 2nd counselor in the Sunday School presidency.  Damian is a deacon.  The primary answered so many prayers and I have never felt more in the right place then now.

Damian is going to be going into the 8th grade this month.  Next year high school! Uh oh!  We are so proud of the young man he is becoming.  The caring he shows is always how I knew he would be.  A kind, compassionate, generous, thoughtful and respectful young man.  He is very involved in scouting and is currently working on doing his Eagle project.  2014 surely will grant an amazing Eagle scout!

Russ is still very involved in working out.  He has a great routine and is a great example to us all of dedication.  He is currently staying at home being a great house hubby!  He keeps this house alive and that is a relief.  I am so thankful we have the ability to have him stay home.  I know he will one day be eager to get out but for now it works out perfectly for us all.

I am still working as an ER nurse at Mtn View Hospital.  Almost 2 years now which is even crazier.  I was once the new grad and now I feel so in place.  I love being a nurse and will never imagine anything differently.  I am at peace.  Although there are rough nights, I never refuse to go back.  I am in it for the long haul.

Well, that is a quick update and I really hope I continue regular entries.  I feel like this might be the right place for future generations to look back on our family and see where we have come and where we are going.

Love ya'll so much!
