Been a while

So, I always get excited to read everyones blogs. I get a little disappointed when people haven't updated theirs in a while. I know life is busy but I am here trying to stay in touch with those I have left. I was giving my friend a hard time about not updating when he pointed out that it had been a long time since i had updated also. I deserved that. The thing is, nothing new has happened to us. We are still looking for a house which at times feels as though we will never find one and still living with Arik's parents. They have been great and all but we don't want to feel like a burden. The girls are growing up and I cut my hair. It is the shortest I have ever had it. That is the new thing that has happened. I have not been able to find the cord for the pictures otherwise I would post pics of the girls. So, I will look for it hard tomorrow and hopefully will post some new pics. In 8 days we leave for our mini vacation without kids. I will miss them but I will enjoy being able to sleep through the night and not having them whine at me all day.

One thing that is new, Kira has learned to say mom or mama. She learned it from Brookelyn. So now she cries it when she wants something or is not getting her way. It is really hard when they both are crying at the same time reaching for me and yelling mama or for Brookelyn, "I want my mommy." Great fun for me.

Well, I better go but I have updated so you all should too!!!!

WE"VE MOVED

We did it. We moved out of Logan utah and the Aggie Village Apts. It was the hardest day of our lives so far moving from our great wonderful friends who have helped us some much. Sorry to those who didn't realize we were moving. I guess not a lot of people knew we were moving last week. Arik started his new job yesterday and likes it. I have already been asked to substitute at a school here so life never stops for a moment. We have been unsuccessful with finding a house. There are a couple but we don't have the time to fix them up, since Arik is still trying to finish his thesis (thanks to his professor, but i won't go there). So we are waiting until school is out and people put their house for sale during the summer. Right now we are living with Arik's parents and they have been wonderful in letting us in and for storing all of our stuff while we are in limb. We miss all of our friends dearly.

Brookelyn was talking about seeing Andrew on Sunday when we starting talking about church the next day. It nearly made us cry having to tell her that she wasn't going to see Andrew at church anymore.

We want to thank all that helped us move Friday (you know who you are). We love you and miss you horribly.

4 Years... and still going strong

Arik and I celebrated our 4th anniversary yesterday, May 1st. We were able to go to the temple and spend some time there. It is nice to know that no matter what happens we have each other forever. We looked at our life and where were are now compared to four years ago. We have added a degree for each of us, two beautiful red headed girls, and an almost finished thesis and masters degree for Arik. We have done a lot and look forward to all the things that we still get to do. Life is great and i love Arik so much more now then I did when we were married. Life's struggles and challenges seem to do that for marriages and I am lucky to have mine.
