I guess I have let life get away from me. I have actually missed blogging... I use to think "really who takes time to read my blog?"... well it doesn't matter if anyone reads it or not... I like to be able to go and write my thoughts, feelings, and experiences down. <br /><br />I am very excited to being having another baby. I feel so blessed and a great sense of joy coming from this little spirit. We found out that this little spirit is a little girl and I was so happy to hear the news (even though I just knew it the moment I had the thought that I was pregnant). Her name is going to be Savannah Marie Neiswender... yes.. it has a nice ring to it! I have had a healthy but very sick pregnancy. Savannah moves more and more every day... I love that part of being pregnant! I am excited to meet this little one! I need to start turning my office into her baby room... I am really starting to get the feeling like I need to get things moving... Savannah is due Oct. 24th and to me this pregnancy has just flown by. Gavin talked about a baby sister for a long time! He is going to be an amazing big brother!<br /><br />Gavin is such a funny little boy! He is very willing to hug and kiss you. He always tells me he loves me (my heart just melts when he says it)... and want to be such a big boy. I am hoping to get him potty trained soon... I think he is just about their.. He always telling me Thank You and Please... I love this little boy!<br /><br />Well I better go get ready for the day. I am going to a funeral for a special lady that always felt like my grandma. My cousin (Michelle) grandma passed away and I want to go show respect for her and the life she lead. <br /><br />Till we meet again.Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-81682048663982556402009-11-11T13:09:00.001-08:002009-11-11T14:52:08.920-08:00The UpdateI haven't been on my post (or others) in months (Feb)! I kind of boycotted my blog for awhile.... I just got burnt out keeping our post updated. But I think I am ready to come back to sharing our lives to the web. I try to be better at updating this blog.<br /><br /> Lets start with the updates...<br /><br />We have been living in the house my mom owns since Feb. For about the first 4 months we lived in the upstairs but then agreed to move down to the basement apartment so they could rent the 5 bedroom upstairs out. We have gone to the 1 bedroom apartment (Gavin is in the hall way that has two doors on each side...so it is a really small bedroom:) ... the apartment is a lot smaller than we have been use to in a really long time... but we feel very blessed to have a place to live in and food on the table (well if we had enough room to fit a table in our apartment). It has been a very humbling experience....it has reminded me that not the most important thing in life is the huge house we own, or nice cars, or expensive clothing, but that it is our friends and family!!!<br /><br />Our townhouse is rented out... the first guy we rented out to in Fed. was crazy! We were able to rent it out to a young cute couple. I feel grateful to be able to find good renters!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Corey</span> has been working at FedEx Home Delivery since about June... The guy he worked for over Christmas season last year called and asked if he would come work for him. It is an o.k. job. Now don't be confused.... he doesn't work for FedEx... FedEx Home Delivery is own by a contractor and so that means it is a third party. Corey doesn't get benefits, and no time off. He works Tuesday-Saturday. Corey has expressing that he wants to going to school...which is GREAT but hard to pull off with his current job since he doesn't have a set schedule...he pretty has to work until the packages are gone...making him coming home different every night. He is still looking for another job that he can go to school and offer him things such as benefits. But I must add we do feel blessed that he has a job since he didn't have a job for almost a full year. He enjoys watching the Jazz games and spending time with his son Gavin.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mindy</span> has been working for Anderson Merchandisers since March. I am working at the Taylorsville Wal*Mart putting out the Cd's and Books. I put out the new music & books, I also organize the areas and restock the shelf's with the current items. I get to listen to my ipod as I work and occasionally help customers. I am able to have adult conversations and truly LOVE my job. I feel so blessed since this has been a wonderful job for me. I pretty much work whenever I want. Since I have been working their since March I have gone in at different times but since Corey has be to work so early I go in about 10:00 p.m. (or whenever I get Gavin down for the night). Gavin doesn't know that I am gone working and I love that since I have wanted to be a stay home mom but at the same time I am helping out with the financial area. This has been a great blessing in our family. Since Corey doesn't have insurance through his job we have some coverage with my job....even though it isn't the GREATEST we still have more than nothing at all. I have enjoyed living in Herriman because I have been able to get with some of my family and friends more often. When not working I am taking care of Gavin and really enjoy my little boy. He has been the best thing in my life... he has the cutest personality and keeps me on my toes. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gavin</span> is having a birthday here in a week and 2 days. I can't believe that he is going to be 2! Where did the time go? He has changed so much! The last couple of months he has been talking more and more. His first word was momma... that of course made me proud! He then started saying: Apple, Ball, No, Mine, Books, Cars, Water, Scary, Popcorn,Thank you (One time changing his dirty diaper at church he told me Thank you... it made it so much more worth it when he said that), Mindy (it is the cutest when he says my name:), Barney, poopy, Daddy, sit (he wants us to sit with him on the couch or the ground), Daddy go? (I will then tell him he is at work... he then will repeat the word work), and the list goes on and on. We bought him a big boy bed for his birthday but haven't put it up yet. About two weeks ago he started to climb out of his crib... now putting him down for naps and bed is a little bit more challenging but we are over coming it.... but I guess we must put his big boy bed up now :). He is a head strong toddler! He loves being with his mom and dad. I really don't know how I was so blessed with such a wonderful, smart, talented, loving little boy. He often reminds us to pray over the food by just folding his arms... it really is the cutest thing ever! People always think he is older than he really is because he is so tall... I love having a boy that I can wrestle with!.<br /><br />So, I go could go on and on about Gavin... must end now since he is awake.. I need to go do the motherly things. <br /><br />Till we meet again.. hopefully it won't take me another 7 months for me to write :)<br /><br />MindyMindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-41575526128715111822009-02-05T19:34:00.000-08:002009-02-05T20:00:45.644-08:00Stressin'<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSmgr4tKsd7gyka-9SvvNR-kojpF5GU3yZOoDDN8Tx2_eQbixg7hAv0WPHIhdmnELaWz5g0zbCA8N33mGXBOdxd3keY_pHM97gjiOx8onyD0yvWxrm692jMHE-1eXoK8EdC4etpvS6aYA/s1600-h/DSC02164.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299528890655146194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSmgr4tKsd7gyka-9SvvNR-kojpF5GU3yZOoDDN8Tx2_eQbixg7hAv0WPHIhdmnELaWz5g0zbCA8N33mGXBOdxd3keY_pHM97gjiOx8onyD0yvWxrm692jMHE-1eXoK8EdC4etpvS6aYA/s320/DSC02164.JPG" border="0" /></a> My handsome boy<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9PKj2E5BjEhJAUsi3h8plGFkXJdKgynXAp_D5GfdHSJcxPZj5wBY85qyN3pj7uYGm6p06AqBuXrfRQ-XKT8PKgIZa2HeQMu7rhGLP5rYWYO4NV4CJVvjY0v-Ro4yB31WNEVuyJyqaLvQ/s1600-h/DSC02162.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299528890786945458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9PKj2E5BjEhJAUsi3h8plGFkXJdKgynXAp_D5GfdHSJcxPZj5wBY85qyN3pj7uYGm6p06AqBuXrfRQ-XKT8PKgIZa2HeQMu7rhGLP5rYWYO4NV4CJVvjY0v-Ro4yB31WNEVuyJyqaLvQ/s320/DSC02162.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I think I have a little model here<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuu4CLr3IzNmX_tKJvjs1XYHbqK2z4ArUkRr-QiNqgD9A2fj0mrE9pKZUZLiWeIIsMieZJHvNLbtwb7hKjVPQp7oml_8t39MH86K1xoZZmgn2NEarFOmVGhohBcur823GhIlOuA8xz0vQ/s1600-h/DSC02169.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299528886124319442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuu4CLr3IzNmX_tKJvjs1XYHbqK2z4ArUkRr-QiNqgD9A2fj0mrE9pKZUZLiWeIIsMieZJHvNLbtwb7hKjVPQp7oml_8t39MH86K1xoZZmgn2NEarFOmVGhohBcur823GhIlOuA8xz0vQ/s320/DSC02169.JPG" border="0" /></a> He was in one of my moving boxes. <br /><br /><br /><div>Wow! I would have never thought that so much would have happen since the last time I did my blog. Well since I blogged last we have rented out our townhome to a man that just got a divorce. He will be living here by himself except when his 3 girls come and stay with him on the weekends. We feel very blessed to have found him and hopefully he will want to rent for awhile. He signed a 6 month lease and hopefully will want to stay longer than that. Right now he is living in a hotel so he was looking for something ASAP! we told him that we could be out by the 10th of this month. </div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>We got our place rented out...but now what? we didn't know where we were going to live...we knew it had to be with family but we didn't know with who. My mom finally offered us a house in Herriman that we could live in for a month for free...and then move down to the basement (1 bedroom) apartment and again stay their for free....this offer was a lot better...at least we don't have to feel like we are on top of anyone except for our little family. We will move their and see what happens...who knows Corey might get a job up in this area (Layton/Ogden) and we will have to move back and live with family for awhile. I have been looking for a storage unit or apartment manager job...something that I can with Gavin and live on-site. I know that this is the right thing to do...but it is so hard to not know what is going to happen next. I just want things to be so good and that we can start repairing our lives (from the last year and half). It has been a long road and I am ready to meet it at the end. I am looking forward to living by some of my brothers & sisters. That is another reason we decided to move out that way....my sister Lana has been having lots of medical problems. The doctors are still trying to run test on her and see what it is going. Lana has 3 cute little girls and I feel like I need and want to be able to help her. I just hope all will work out...I know it will I just have to faith and trust in the Lord. Life has been stressful but thankfully we have our health (except for Gavin's cold...and I think he is teething) but other than that we have been healthy and I really am greatful for. </div><br /><div>Gavin has been such a big helper. He moves things for us, and pulls things out...even if we don't want them pulled out. The other day my in-laws took Gavin for awhile so I could get some things done...I was very greatful for the couple of hours of work I could get done without having my items that I just put into a box pulled out. </div><br /><div>That is our life lately..............................................hopefully we will have more answers of where we are going to be working and living.</div><br /><div>Saturday is the big day to move all the big items. We got a storage unit since we don't know what next month will bring us. Our nephew Jacob is also getting baptized on Saturday. Corey, his brother, and dad will be loading up the truck durning the baptism and my family will help unload it after words. I am going to the baptism so I will take some smaller items down in my car. I will have to clean the house Saturday & Monday. </div><div> </div><div>Well have a goodnight!</div></div></div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-65127374927061856912009-02-01T14:12:00.000-08:002009-02-01T14:22:22.233-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVsC7H0KHe7B4c94mUby2fGPk1BaEG7fKcYMG0xm23JAELq_XSbrktnm6fexEGk9CA1VgN2hLM0UxdcuewBuIjyUyjnxZgGQsRdh02GyzHvJmGTj4ILexBI7mZwcTxxzBHIDA2xKmT3g/s1600-h/DSC02145.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297956637750344754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVsC7H0KHe7B4c94mUby2fGPk1BaEG7fKcYMG0xm23JAELq_XSbrktnm6fexEGk9CA1VgN2hLM0UxdcuewBuIjyUyjnxZgGQsRdh02GyzHvJmGTj4ILexBI7mZwcTxxzBHIDA2xKmT3g/s320/DSC02145.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiWM-npWxNKyI5YO6ZKD6d7FdGYiZ4NR_0KameD4IF-yJAu4VKIf6mYo-B5ZazlPutfO4dmZzBYcdAp_mDo2QN1s2V0xV6VoGM77GDMBr0FIFyq0-OVQuz0tIWK3iiLHAdlBOigfjXH0E/s1600-h/DSC02141.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297956634390277250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiWM-npWxNKyI5YO6ZKD6d7FdGYiZ4NR_0KameD4IF-yJAu4VKIf6mYo-B5ZazlPutfO4dmZzBYcdAp_mDo2QN1s2V0xV6VoGM77GDMBr0FIFyq0-OVQuz0tIWK3iiLHAdlBOigfjXH0E/s320/DSC02141.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHoIkrmb0F34AF7Dmgg1BkFlWIn9utwqGmKS-fvEOUCtjLCwrHQFdrWgy918wpJ3SuXyhzaaAn3mDvEsQ8HMP5Op2PbUS4O0AoUGOxlMHkUlq7_uTMVuP6HgtpXHUYequ7WdnhEB8ckP0/s1600-h/DSC02140.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297956631693408642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHoIkrmb0F34AF7Dmgg1BkFlWIn9utwqGmKS-fvEOUCtjLCwrHQFdrWgy918wpJ3SuXyhzaaAn3mDvEsQ8HMP5Op2PbUS4O0AoUGOxlMHkUlq7_uTMVuP6HgtpXHUYequ7WdnhEB8ckP0/s320/DSC02140.JPG" border="0" /></a> He loves to sit on his toys<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_3YBBTtAv8l74s1DusTnAddfNO-s2IVZwSMEBYWhOnTp_IPta_9wjHhQ89fxwlDP8yyE318EYHE3inaDbSBBrbjmbYwLnamfUw6pw0JB3lX72zb1NGG2mFI4YTRNWVD22HQrtOWB_CmI/s1600-h/DSC02130.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297956624804927010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_3YBBTtAv8l74s1DusTnAddfNO-s2IVZwSMEBYWhOnTp_IPta_9wjHhQ89fxwlDP8yyE318EYHE3inaDbSBBrbjmbYwLnamfUw6pw0JB3lX72zb1NGG2mFI4YTRNWVD22HQrtOWB_CmI/s320/DSC02130.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />loving to play!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia-dJFZVxV9XaPvGBkJrgmssUuVJuUOGN_YhlmSH2-NXt4DuB1jqpDJLGUPjXqex7WhEEYv4kZ-zTjZQCJMwIKx4NGO2VwcQKECivjX3Eq61bH_Qkdez5d7KHYMOUAJYJNwo1vcW3gLoc/s1600-h/DSC02110.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297956624080071826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia-dJFZVxV9XaPvGBkJrgmssUuVJuUOGN_YhlmSH2-NXt4DuB1jqpDJLGUPjXqex7WhEEYv4kZ-zTjZQCJMwIKx4NGO2VwcQKECivjX3Eq61bH_Qkdez5d7KHYMOUAJYJNwo1vcW3gLoc/s320/DSC02110.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />he loves to put things on his head...sometimes it is scary because he really can't see where he is going.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Here are some random pictures of my sweet son Gavin.

We had a good day. We looked for jobs :) But first I took him to get a message. He had given me a cert. for my birthday and so I decided that we would go get a couple message. It was GREAT! We had never gone to get messages before so it was a real treat. My sister-in-law watched Gavin for us and it was just what we needed. Later that night we went Olive Garden (my mother-in-law had given us a gift cert. to use and that was really nice of her).

It has been some time since I have written. I thought today (Sunday) would be the perfect day to put some post up here. </div><br /><div>We are still on the job hunt. I have been trying to have hope and faith that Corey will be able to get something that it make it that I will be able to be a stay home mom. I do look for things that I can do at home to help bring some income but would really like to be able to stay home with Gavin. Corey at a job interview about the 2nd week in Jan. down in Hurrican Utah (right by St. George). He would have been a driver for Pepsi and would have started off about 40,000.00 a year (that would have been really nice!). Ever since I meet Corey he has always wanted to move down their...he loves St. George...and of course I would have not minded the nice weather at all!We decided to turn the interview into a much needed couple of days of vacation. We had a good time down their but Corey didn't feel like the interview went all that well. They had told him on the phone that the interview would be about 2 hours....well he wasn't even their more than 15 mins. We tried to enjoy the rest of the time and not worry about it too much. We came home and a few days later found out that he didn't get the job. </div><br /><div>We did get to see Brigham Young's winter home that is in St. George. We had always tried to find it when ever we went down their. I guess they have a walking tour that you can do (we had never done that either)...so we did part of the walking tour and President's Young home...we then went back and had lunch Pizza Factory. Even though he didn't get the job I am glad we had the chances to go down their and get away from everything else. We would love to still move down their...and maybe one day we will. </div></div></div></div></div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-31651747394804936312009-01-07T20:25:00.000-08:002009-01-07T21:17:42.584-08:00Christmas / New Year's ...bring in the year 2009<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihz2DEApFOe8UjQAebGyrVZHiwEd3nzqEKVZf_u9WRImTa8OkihVSRpKCA07GCVs8YwHzfg-OPpLWqUvCTzdJtOkWRma5SrtLxV62RhV-W9J_K48TAdFAAGyQ0f2gIdmeOSnY5aHHUEuM/s1600-h/DSC02055.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288787058796635090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihz2DEApFOe8UjQAebGyrVZHiwEd3nzqEKVZf_u9WRImTa8OkihVSRpKCA07GCVs8YwHzfg-OPpLWqUvCTzdJtOkWRma5SrtLxV62RhV-W9J_K48TAdFAAGyQ0f2gIdmeOSnY5aHHUEuM/s320/DSC02055.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YCf7nji11mIIXZlhIB1jlo4R5Z0YksfXIbvbjmnbzLs0TwSLTo28OyX8SXJfALJyfaWm6fxXQyp0OsmE5jy6qX1YItS71drLHNBjWVmmJn89Y2aOixHpK0jyra24djUfX17fyoKba-w/s1600-h/DSC02087.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288787056011569314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YCf7nji11mIIXZlhIB1jlo4R5Z0YksfXIbvbjmnbzLs0TwSLTo28OyX8SXJfALJyfaWm6fxXQyp0OsmE5jy6qX1YItS71drLHNBjWVmmJn89Y2aOixHpK0jyra24djUfX17fyoKba-w/s320/DSC02087.JPG" border="0" /></a> Gavin is starting to climb on things...oy!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmgqRhjQrOFe-GfvfAqrhb4xqM7VvLXhh9k0XuaN8_uIPi_gq3tLNiWukXU5FSsaOT1bd7CUpWDjbULEu8dOnIPCqR57cWgH8ShhawcGZDXcVZd5G-IJZV6zDhz7HqmktK85Xs9NHyrI/s1600-h/DSC02009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288787046683207330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmgqRhjQrOFe-GfvfAqrhb4xqM7VvLXhh9k0XuaN8_uIPi_gq3tLNiWukXU5FSsaOT1bd7CUpWDjbULEu8dOnIPCqR57cWgH8ShhawcGZDXcVZd5G-IJZV6zDhz7HqmktK85Xs9NHyrI/s320/DSC02009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Me and my baby on Christmas Day<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhshGmP0o0Xw119XxTZjiGH6f-T1hkfOYD0D0mRXSuTF13WM-cvUGUUoMbZjozJyu6fim4KVJy4VwlFjhU6W3wIxxnBvtkXkVsh9cuBSl1A3NARuAJa1EiYab7DGQEpyolHgwu34Ke5WDM/s1600-h/DSC01997.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288787042272233218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhshGmP0o0Xw119XxTZjiGH6f-T1hkfOYD0D0mRXSuTF13WM-cvUGUUoMbZjozJyu6fim4KVJy4VwlFjhU6W3wIxxnBvtkXkVsh9cuBSl1A3NARuAJa1EiYab7DGQEpyolHgwu34Ke5WDM/s320/DSC01997.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />White Elephant gift that was passed around...hahah<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADPYFbbO3uNRxY41R98nCdemoGciz8imv-mMn0q2jFjMngTuAYSNqxCUybUGBQCmNx2awJ0jRMkjU3Q3cGoDN1LNF-O5bxMZmYtPIkckDm6Lo81cqWV2QCW-vTnbbVrEzRbr4OeS-gu4/s1600-h/DSC01988.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288787039606207874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADPYFbbO3uNRxY41R98nCdemoGciz8imv-mMn0q2jFjMngTuAYSNqxCUybUGBQCmNx2awJ0jRMkjU3Q3cGoDN1LNF-O5bxMZmYtPIkckDm6Lo81cqWV2QCW-vTnbbVrEzRbr4OeS-gu4/s320/DSC01988.JPG" border="0" /></a> Me, Corey, and Gavin on Christmas Eve<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>WOW! It has been way too long for me write on my blog. Christmas, and New Year's has already gone and passed and we have started the year 2009. </div><br /><div>We had a great christmas! It was more simple this year (since money is tight) but I felt so blessed for everything we were able to give and receive. I am excited for the sewing machine that I got. I want to be able to create things and so I am glad that my husband was able to give me such a great gift...I just know need to find a place for it :) We were blessed with being around our family for the holidays. We went over to my in-laws Christmas Eve and had so much food and played rock band on the wii....we had so much fun. Christmas day we went and saw Corey's Grandma Sommerville and Grandpa Neiswender...and ate left overs....mmmm.</div><br /><div>New Year's Eve we went up to Ogden and played some games and went to lunch with the in-laws and Gavin's cousins. I got Gavin a monkey backpack that we can hold on to and he can't get away...he felt like such a big boy being able to walk around pushing his stroller while we played games. I was so glad that I bought this monkey...right before christmas I went to the store to get an item for christmas and they didn't have shopping carts...Gavin was tearing things off the shelfs...by the end of the trip he was crying and I was sweating and so ready to leave the store. I went home and called my mom and said "when did I get a toddler? last thing I remember he was a baby". </div><br /><div>New Year's Eve night we were at my in-laws till 11:00 we had good food and played the rock band on the wii. I can't believe that we are already in the 2009 year. I hoping that this year is A LOT better than 2008! I like the feeling having a fresh start...and even though I haven't seen a whole lot change...I am having a better attitude and being more positive. I feel like things are going to get a whole lot better for us. I just have to be willing to get things done and have complete trust on the Lord. I will keep you posted on these things :) </div><br /><div>One of my new goals was to get back into Weight Watchers. I have been doing a really good job. I went back to Weight Watchers on Saturday..I got weighed in and the meeting. I have 15 pounds to lose...which is not near as much as when I first started Weight Watchers. Once I am back down to my weight I won't have to pay any more since I am a life time member...and that ROCKS! I have been going to my church Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's to work out with some ladies in my ward....I really enjoy this since I get out and meeting other people and working out...which is making me feel so much better. </div><br /><div>Well I am going to add some pictures from Christmas, New Year's Eve and random picture and then turning the computer over to my husband. Good night all! </div></div></div></div></div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-61089137777816671282008-12-16T11:42:00.000-08:002008-12-16T11:52:34.251-08:00Cut my hair...Yup it is true<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHZp_TjaTL4leL_kql4VZ-a3GOoG2FGszpusvS65_58-p9fF7M-9FlJFaOqm50qOinO7OEzxgOaKkxa7rJHCTl2f54Pygvrq8TGUiYfwjEgKTldnIH9s2YGBFA-zAx4s64kWBVAiAUCY/s1600-h/DSC01663.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280477710025430210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHZp_TjaTL4leL_kql4VZ-a3GOoG2FGszpusvS65_58-p9fF7M-9FlJFaOqm50qOinO7OEzxgOaKkxa7rJHCTl2f54Pygvrq8TGUiYfwjEgKTldnIH9s2YGBFA-zAx4s64kWBVAiAUCY/s320/DSC01663.JPG" border="0" /></a> Gavin with his Papa...so cute!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjMOGYzW7bHDhHdfimGAAFHeFWFeUcrYrGm3Z6OqNdx8L7_MxVGaOTpP1UZjRoAkz9IR9MA9LFIh-IbZ6SeFnO2XDcWDQMJtsNDikoldh6j6hVZG4SH37b3KCW2A8HhnHHcGeK-zTJ6yU/s1600-h/DSC01621.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280477688935089778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjMOGYzW7bHDhHdfimGAAFHeFWFeUcrYrGm3Z6OqNdx8L7_MxVGaOTpP1UZjRoAkz9IR9MA9LFIh-IbZ6SeFnO2XDcWDQMJtsNDikoldh6j6hVZG4SH37b3KCW2A8HhnHHcGeK-zTJ6yU/s320/DSC01621.JPG" border="0" /></a> I babysat my nephew Luke...and they were using their blankets as capes...it was so cute!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIySw2PtjQQ5mjqtn_gvTMC_JAq-2Sq4tskHOZv1RAPG_Zvhm6BCth5DdzkUm-xIrJknbjE5wPOr65PGREnFd-lnx52d1TANe8ClFSBubvvC-fTuwbXx7QtAGsVfXir3EVqaEWvwMX6LU/s1600-h/DSC01697.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280477677030953538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIySw2PtjQQ5mjqtn_gvTMC_JAq-2Sq4tskHOZv1RAPG_Zvhm6BCth5DdzkUm-xIrJknbjE5wPOr65PGREnFd-lnx52d1TANe8ClFSBubvvC-fTuwbXx7QtAGsVfXir3EVqaEWvwMX6LU/s320/DSC01697.JPG" border="0" /></a> me taking a few pictures with my short hair.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24w66cE4VoXN-8bfhG1mDOEixvYrAAyYv6G1WTf8r6I_niAPfEl2As4wabGPDegSSU5rkNnX68t5sdILGDDWf-OyM7ed6SvG37-5SLB46obOYD6QHCagyMqHc9yc3BM2W_PvhvRjHu0Y/s1600-h/DSC01701.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280477665978463282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24w66cE4VoXN-8bfhG1mDOEixvYrAAyYv6G1WTf8r6I_niAPfEl2As4wabGPDegSSU5rkNnX68t5sdILGDDWf-OyM7ed6SvG37-5SLB46obOYD6QHCagyMqHc9yc3BM2W_PvhvRjHu0Y/s320/DSC01701.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6x__cCZOQGTla933XO05_Mz6TihJvUse7BvsHxmlQg9oD3VVHbWNFncZ01bW5KnVTvFkDMRFUGw23rKsjv7hFDNjRmmEQHrPpHZ_cG2y6xvIHxyWA0mYkP5NSenfI5tQd0XlHCZ-JHbc/s1600-h/DSC01698.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280477641553109826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6x__cCZOQGTla933XO05_Mz6TihJvUse7BvsHxmlQg9oD3VVHbWNFncZ01bW5KnVTvFkDMRFUGw23rKsjv7hFDNjRmmEQHrPpHZ_cG2y6xvIHxyWA0mYkP5NSenfI5tQd0XlHCZ-JHbc/s320/DSC01698.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>As many of you that know me...once I start cutting my hair...it just seems to get shorter and shorter.

Here are some pictures. </div><br /><br /><div>I am also adding some other random pictures that I just felt like sharing :)</div></div></div></div></div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-56522123396010448242008-12-16T11:32:00.000-08:002008-12-16T11:42:02.154-08:00The Spoken Word<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZy-kMBy0FinOdfZvo48AlQbSWxkjz0bD-CiPBSy0nV8Iup8GFxoUY4aLtP8NTF9GTTtKQPePOD7KT6TQ9VQGU4iNj4Z5D38sklURFUy2DJgQ8HGurJ6QfN5fXN_Bz-fX7l663_PtK3eM/s1600-h/DSC01642.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280475275313024946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZy-kMBy0FinOdfZvo48AlQbSWxkjz0bD-CiPBSy0nV8Iup8GFxoUY4aLtP8NTF9GTTtKQPePOD7KT6TQ9VQGU4iNj4Z5D38sklURFUy2DJgQ8HGurJ6QfN5fXN_Bz-fX7l663_PtK3eM/s320/DSC01642.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXkxLIUPBztOlzGPj9PNgz987hbx9hx2pmFeOYP521MpUlXIoJAzDPJsW_vtii29EaXeZaEysliW5UriVfwpwIhhyLOoHPj_gHEQniJ1TRsjKNTL27imbmZtUH-tUxp3YukuaWB8p8-c/s1600-h/DSC01641.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280475237029777682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXkxLIUPBztOlzGPj9PNgz987hbx9hx2pmFeOYP521MpUlXIoJAzDPJsW_vtii29EaXeZaEysliW5UriVfwpwIhhyLOoHPj_gHEQniJ1TRsjKNTL27imbmZtUH-tUxp3YukuaWB8p8-c/s320/DSC01641.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqMYe5noq0oQkJ423n7kGFCcMmaoe1koIao2FWm7R3vff6i-L8yLXBw5lDUIQ4aAubwjkzq2bWknKpjDS-SV6Ev-2rFm2d4_S6nD_X9rBeEBA9H3pMsPkSYnmI8GQcyrdT0rDEkk8svbA/s1600-h/DSC01629.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280475209018304930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqMYe5noq0oQkJ423n7kGFCcMmaoe1koIao2FWm7R3vff6i-L8yLXBw5lDUIQ4aAubwjkzq2bWknKpjDS-SV6Ev-2rFm2d4_S6nD_X9rBeEBA9H3pMsPkSYnmI8GQcyrdT0rDEkk8svbA/s320/DSC01629.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>On this past Sunday I got to the Spoken Word with my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and sister-in-law...(Corey stayed home with Gavin). We had to leave so early (7:30) and the snow was really coming down....I wasn't sure if we would make it...but we did and it and was totally worth it. President Monson was their and sat in our section....We had GREAT seats...we were so close to the stage. After the spoken word they put on a 45 min. performance for us. (they have been doing Christmas performances this past Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). It was a real treat. Afterwords I got some pretty good pictures of President Monson. I truly felt so blessed to be so close to a Prophet. </div><br /><div>We weren't allowed to take pictures during the Spoken Word....but after you could. I felt so glad to have gone. The sprit was so strong. I always feel so blessed to be a member of the gospel and know that the Lord blesses me and my family. </div></div></div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-31753734312111375322008-12-16T11:23:00.000-08:002008-12-16T11:32:05.381-08:00Happy Third Wedding AnniversaryDecember 1, 2005 Corey and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a wonderful day..I remember it was a cold day...but still a wonderful day! I can't believe it has already been three years since I married my best friend. I also share our wedding anniversary with my mission anniversary. I have been 4 years. I really can't believe that! Time goes so fast no matter what you are doing...so you might enjoy whatever you are doing because it is going to come and go no matter what. I feel so blessed for everything I have.<br /><br />On our Anniversary my sister babysat Gavin and we went and saw the James Bond Movie...it was pretty good for that type of movie. We then just went to Iggis..and we brought Gavin with us. It was nice to just have the day with my husband.Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-7237018686010811772008-11-26T13:32:00.000-08:002008-11-26T14:16:00.946-08:00Gavin's Birthday Party<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjStfJ9lXYM6tnG0vKNruw7g9OMDSpATZZrQVWaqSafp-4wnuSATVSZp8W-5OrPmLpXnSfFH-aNpHiVZRLp7gVEjXRyek3fX7uqllwwiIMwIgOlD25atjSttOSY25I7gqhxK05WqHb8pVs/s1600-h/DSC01564.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273087760554466514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjStfJ9lXYM6tnG0vKNruw7g9OMDSpATZZrQVWaqSafp-4wnuSATVSZp8W-5OrPmLpXnSfFH-aNpHiVZRLp7gVEjXRyek3fX7uqllwwiIMwIgOlD25atjSttOSY25I7gqhxK05WqHb8pVs/s320/DSC01564.JPG" border="0" /></a> Gavin enjoying his cake<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-ZWiCawuKczHs-b1uBJ-MJKLjNts43Md8-fwFSoSMVe6SVO3prf5RvSzk_MVMP2kIOdhzdeREVJz801Oxply7D2bVrOa7-Mm_d-6uISZKckVvynHOYdf7HRm6gzkTR7hWD9kFYcfOCE/s1600-h/DSC01547.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273087758342317970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-ZWiCawuKczHs-b1uBJ-MJKLjNts43Md8-fwFSoSMVe6SVO3prf5RvSzk_MVMP2kIOdhzdeREVJz801Oxply7D2bVrOa7-Mm_d-6uISZKckVvynHOYdf7HRm6gzkTR7hWD9kFYcfOCE/s320/DSC01547.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnkHCBmhlauUJhkr08P6vO_ooHz_T6VfSxe7cpH6PRo2R8scKEwacdQsteQpsMCASfBPpt2XKu2Ur8hMA89CWwyt6JjgXQGa4GAJb53dEHWas_DU4aeDIL0c0TZfXJG9UM59Qz9rAhOOw/s1600-h/DSC01528.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273087748415203394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnkHCBmhlauUJhkr08P6vO_ooHz_T6VfSxe7cpH6PRo2R8scKEwacdQsteQpsMCASfBPpt2XKu2Ur8hMA89CWwyt6JjgXQGa4GAJb53dEHWas_DU4aeDIL0c0TZfXJG9UM59Qz9rAhOOw/s320/DSC01528.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />the cake Corey made<br /><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieo34Xo-pWYLxPkV6DY_q5aGGetVjcHv7kforbj9770lMIwSlVbhsbLyLM22brnLKHQTw39d-ss3028rdBboao6xyQzrgp0MPNa3J-vaCyGexSyo8V6oeNXmTuxcVp4oHN7OxjDVO9b1w/s1600-h/DSC01475.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273087730177189346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieo34Xo-pWYLxPkV6DY_q5aGGetVjcHv7kforbj9770lMIwSlVbhsbLyLM22brnLKHQTw39d-ss3028rdBboao6xyQzrgp0MPNa3J-vaCyGexSyo8V6oeNXmTuxcVp4oHN7OxjDVO9b1w/s320/DSC01475.JPG" border="0" /></a> the cake I made....If you can't tell it was a basketball....

I took him to McDonalds the day of his birthday but didn't really do anything until that following Saturday. We had his 1st birthday party at my in-laws house (since my townhome really doesn't fit a lot of people). I just had a family party for him since I have so many brothers and sisters...and then we had Corey's side their...and we were all packed into my in-laws house....it reminds them that they need to get their basement finished. Gavin got spoiled! He got so many gifts...we think he really doesn't need anything for Christmas...but have already bought him a few things.

He is the big ONE! I can't believe how fast that went. He is an amazing little person that touches my heart in so many HUGE ways. There is a list of things and pretty much I could go on and on...but I will just say a few things about my little man. He is a talker...and even though he words are pretty much momma and dadda he sure can talk up a storm and we have no clue what he is saying. I can tell when he gets at me...but he is so quick to love me. He loves to laugh...he gives me the cuttest smile when he wants me to be laughing at what he is doing. It is amazing how fast they pick up on things. Gavin has been walking for about a month and half...and can pretty much get running...he still falls over at times...but he sure has picked this up along with a lot of other things. I didn't know that when I had him placed in my arms a year ago that he would melt my heart and wrap it around his finger so fast. As I am typing this blog I can hear Gavin talking in his crib...he is just waking up from his nap....he usually wakes up this way and it so nice. He is easy going...and when he friends or cousins take toys from him he doesn't show that it bothers him one bit. He loves the game of chase...I was chasing him last night and then he turned around a chased me........what a great personaility you have! </div><br /><div>The day he was born was the day I had some idea of how my parents feel for me and some what of an understanding of what Heavely Father feels for each one of us. I felt so much closer to Corey and the feeling of us being a family of that much more importance. I feel so blessed to have both men in my life. </div><div> </div><div>Gavin I love you! Thanks for being such a wonderful son. I love when you cuddle and kiss me, and play around with me. You make me smile every day and I so enjoy having you in my life. </div><br /><div>We are having his Birthday party at my in-laws on Saturday since our home isn't big enough. I am keeping the party just for our family since my family is so big...and then adding to Coreys...it is going to be a good size party. </div><br /><div>Love you my big ONE year old son!</div><br /><div>Mom </div><br /><div>Here is a funny story about the hosptial. Well as you know that when they bring you your baby they always check to make sure your bands match. Well I guess I was coming out from having the c-section and some of my family and Corey's family were down at the nusery looking at Gavin. They were saying stuff like "he has the Neiswender toes" and things like that. Well I had gotten into the room and I was waiting for everyone to come in with Gavin. Corey finally came after about 5 or 10 mins (I can't remember the timing on all of this since I was drugged) but anyways he was just like "You are not going to believe what happened". I guess they had given Corey the baby they were all making comments about and Corey started pushing the baby to my room... well once he got to the room he looked inside and saw no one that he knew... and I wasn't in their. The nurses had given Corey the wrong baby....they had been making comments about someone elses baby. Well I am glad to say that when Corey came into my room with a baby that was the correct baby... </div><div> </div><div>Well I am going to take Gavin to McDonalds to get him a happy meal for his birthday! </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-77319453028344128162008-11-17T19:27:00.000-08:002008-11-17T20:00:29.583-08:00Halloween<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6-fskgnVYCC_Emv6TjnuUEYA2E5gB4BLMIe_ZEKoBqWsi0TNJtXHKgEn-NR-nTmPfwCbMZ_S_PJoBS-Ba4oSbF-68iP9zXyd3fOWeOwqsbTtIdsMXqZ_wTvlaNP2Pm-yu1G-gN-CMpI/s1600-h/DSC01275.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269841504924653026" style="DISPLAY: block;

There were so many thing that I learned while working their. I would love to have it worked out but the boss was so hard to work with. It was a hard battle over an easy storage unit job. As of last Wednesday I no longer work from him...and I am really grateful for that! I have interviewed for a night job that is two sec. from my house and they offer benfits after 90 days for PT employees....which is AWESOME! I am planning on doing this night job until I find something else...I still want to do a storage unit job or apartment. Something I have learned with all of this is be grateful that God doesn't give us everything we want. I really wanted this storage unit job and when I finally got it I knew it was a mistake that I took it. I was working with a man that was hard to get along with, I was working Monday thur Saturday 45 to 50 hours a week, being away from my baby and husband so much, and not being able to get things done at home. I was feeling so burnt out. I feel like the Lord was like "you really want this well then I am going to give it to you". I know that he always has us in mind and only wants the best for us. </div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>I am glad to say that Corey was taken on at FedEx Home Deliveries as a temp and now will be starting his normal full time route this up coming week...it is a good job until he can find something that offers benfits.</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>Life is getting better and I feel like we are being blessed! </div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-81339116882433729212008-11-15T16:00:00.000-08:002008-11-15T16:11:08.402-08:00Holly and Lilly<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0GdabM6TLXKFIvSpUaOAWy0aJElpVNBF_7uEOrJziN9pTQ5VwiWIauKn9ibBZQJAtmOrj27V2yj7jYFwqe7OKVzir7q4PmPqZHthc4i_BTmkpbJr_D0sqbe6PylgwfBK4obamQJs_1MQ/s1600-h/DSC01448.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269040757763874194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0GdabM6TLXKFIvSpUaOAWy0aJElpVNBF_7uEOrJziN9pTQ5VwiWIauKn9ibBZQJAtmOrj27V2yj7jYFwqe7OKVzir7q4PmPqZHthc4i_BTmkpbJr_D0sqbe6PylgwfBK4obamQJs_1MQ/s320/DSC01448.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is Lilly and she is the oldest out of the two<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9psGgF4zxT0apXZCJBNXucHpmtfAGTdW-TZ8JTZku050C3CLtCZe7buFNTYCJ7qxfvfe0M29GgJzQmC5AIkrTpv0QzmdeG-MGN1BwDeWlJHXrMl1mSvnAfBBQ2PFfjD8hBe416V6VTdM/s1600-h/DSC01447.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269040751220062482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9psGgF4zxT0apXZCJBNXucHpmtfAGTdW-TZ8JTZku050C3CLtCZe7buFNTYCJ7qxfvfe0M29GgJzQmC5AIkrTpv0QzmdeG-MGN1BwDeWlJHXrMl1mSvnAfBBQ2PFfjD8hBe416V6VTdM/s320/DSC01447.JPG" border="0" /></a> She weighted 5 pounds 8 oz<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk9nk4NsmmeGwmrsquPxw7_rNoXnHJqlFDz6-S1jsEXjVO3hNkJ6Nw-rdr_b6jJ_mDBDTWYs_rCUpgzbKFvs3QfsahBpXLimeEjUrPi_4JcuRk6Nb_Gp9l6UxoQH6BmWq9GKrRSxlHlyg/s1600-h/DSC01445.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269040741897157714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk9nk4NsmmeGwmrsquPxw7_rNoXnHJqlFDz6-S1jsEXjVO3hNkJ6Nw-rdr_b6jJ_mDBDTWYs_rCUpgzbKFvs3QfsahBpXLimeEjUrPi_4JcuRk6Nb_Gp9l6UxoQH6BmWq9GKrRSxlHlyg/s320/DSC01445.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> Here is Holly<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgflAZqNF3xr9vViwke1MRlU6Pwczo7oIJG-WUSnaLsY7qPn0siJckCrXG6rpHtWQmBhAqd7Xg-kUr8jE6V7gqno6fZ7_8M0u6AdpUwSg0LZyBKh4i-_MkT2hyphenhyphenY8SmlctHTQh-nsuJbGRA/s1600-h/DSC01449.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269040739250874546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgflAZqNF3xr9vViwke1MRlU6Pwczo7oIJG-WUSnaLsY7qPn0siJckCrXG6rpHtWQmBhAqd7Xg-kUr8jE6V7gqno6fZ7_8M0u6AdpUwSg0LZyBKh4i-_MkT2hyphenhyphenY8SmlctHTQh-nsuJbGRA/s320/DSC01449.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> She weighted 5 lbs<br /><br /><br /><div>Last night my twin nieces were born at the Davis hospital.

It reminded me that Heavenly Father is very aware of each one of us. He will answer us different many ways. Sometimes through the scriptures, prayer, a thought, sometimes he has to scream it to us, and through friends/family. As I reading my cousin blog I felt like sharing a little thing about us and as I was typing it I thought "I really should post this on my blog". So here is my thought...how ever let me set up what life has been for us. I know that we aren't the only ones feeling the effect on how life is going right now finacial. So many people I know personal are having their own trials and so I have to know that me and my family are not the only ones with life problems. I don't tell you this to feel bad for us anything...I guess I just sharing what I have learned.<br /><br /><br /><br />This has been a very good but at the same time the hardest year! We bought our townhome Oct. 25th 2007. Corey was working for DMBA and I was staying at home working as a loan processor. It seems like the min. we signed our papers for our house things started going wrong. I was almost 9 months prego. I knew that we would be having a lot of change...we were becoming first time parents, and first time homeowners. We seemed like we were making our mark in the world. We really counted on both of our incomes and NEED both to survive. Well inbetween moving into our home and Gavin being born (Nov. 20th 07) I hadn't had much luck with any loans closing. We had gotten money from my dad when we closed and pretty much using it as the back up. Well the loans got even worse...I would start on one and for one reason or another it wouldn't close. At one point my husband was the only one bringing home some money...but it wasn't enough to even cover our bills. We have been blessed with wonderfu family! Well my husband one day decided that he couldn't take his job any more! (it actually had been building) but we went from bad to worse! He now has gotten his CDL and is looking for a local driving job. We really don't want him to do the OTR (Over the Road) but we might have to for about an year. Well he has been watching Gavin while I am getting trained for the storage unit job (then Gavin will be with me). It actually has worked out nice...but at the same time we really need him to get a job too! At one point though we both didn't have jobs. I was babysitting part time..but that doesn't take care of most of our bills....so that is the kind of year we have had! <br /><br /> This is what we have said to my cousin earlier today:<br />Thank you for reminding me what really is important in this life. Corey and I were really discourage one day and when we went to do our night reading in our sciptures (since we were trying to be better at reading and saying our prayers) I included this thought book with our nightly reads and in my thought book by President Gordon B. Hinckley (he has a scripture and then a thought for everyday) and this thought was for the day we felt very discouraged. I don't remember the scripture but then he went on to say that everyone gets discouraged...but if we start looking around our self we will see that someone else has it worse than we do. Corey and I started saying the things we do have instead of what we don't have. I know in my personal life I know so many people having hard times it is either money, lost one, lost job, or some other trail. If we knew the out come in the life (our trials) would we still have come knowing everything? I think a part of me says yes and the other part of me things no...but how much more are we blessed because we had James in our life. Of course we would much rather have him with us know! but I guess what I am trying to say is that Michelle I think you are amazing! I don't just don't say that for this one trail but everything that we have gone through! I love you so much I am sorry I am not better at letting you know this more often! I guess it got me thinking about all of this when I saw your picture of your little girl...you are so good at capturing peopel! You are so good at taking pictures, your funny, carring, and everything I hope to be one day. Reading your blog it made me think of how I have put of things today because I tell myself "I will be happier once this that or the other is done". or "once this trail I will be happier...but really we are always going to have trials. Some trials we will get rid of and others will be with us for ever and we have to learn how to deal with that trial. There is a saying that I have and I really like it....it goes something like this... Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass....it's about learning how to dance in the rain. <br /><br />I really like that saying...I think I want to make a sign or something out of that saying :) I find it to be too true!<br /><br />Well I need to go to bed!

The time has come that my son is just growing up! He has started taking steps! Last week while being over at my Sister & Brother-in-laws house he took his first steps. He is so cute trying to walk! He gets so excited and then falls. This is a fun age where they enjoy laughing with you and making moves to becoming an older child. I have to say though that I don't enjoy this age of trying to changing the diaper and his clothes. He just wants to move all the time and so changing his clothes or diaper is such a big deal.Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-37835302287036663002008-10-02T21:02:00.001-07:002008-10-02T21:11:27.831-07:00September 20th - Gavin 10 months old<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAz3UADF1Zueq1g_grTBE5I_oyxj9K1t2CkDJl4A7_UJrWFtHZX5VNsliUZZbui1FVrVThCt7cyIjwdfAtZgDIN2aT-mWFu_NPndd1wqXGSfftvUUBw9OocCy1kqUTshVpyLrqf23N1zk/s1600-h/DSC01048.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252774605361052386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAz3UADF1Zueq1g_grTBE5I_oyxj9K1t2CkDJl4A7_UJrWFtHZX5VNsliUZZbui1FVrVThCt7cyIjwdfAtZgDIN2aT-mWFu_NPndd1wqXGSfftvUUBw9OocCy1kqUTshVpyLrqf23N1zk/s320/DSC01048.JPG" border="0" /></a> this is a "are you serious mom?"

See when he backed out on us he told us he wanted a little more time to think about it and we told him we couldn't do that....so we thought that was it. I had in the mean time took the apartment job (I was going to be moving into the apartment on the 1st weekend of Oct.) Well I guess he interviewed other people and I guess he decided that he liked me the best out of everyone! I ended up starting the Storage unit job on the 19th. I am in training so my husband has been watching Gavin (my husband quite his job about 2 months ago...he has now gotten his CDL and is looking for a new job...something local)...anyways so he has been watching Gavin while I am learning my new job. I will be able to have Gavin with me once I am done...we also will move into the 2 bedroom apartment in about 3 months (we are hoping it will be sooner than that). This is the North Salt and is a really nice storage unit.....(only 4 years old). I really do believe things work out for the best...it really is all about timing! I will love when we live in the apartment and won't have to be in the office all the time and be with my son at the same time!

This is also at the Jankins house.<br /><br /><div>My birthday was a GREAT day! I went babysitting and the Jankins were so cute (that is the family I babysit for) they had theis house done up for my birthday. When I went home my husband was out getting my birthday gift. He did a really good job. He got me the movie Hairspray, candy, a message, and $15.00 itunes gift card. He did a GREAT job! We went to Slizzers for dinner. My in-laws watch Gavin for us. I had lots of calls to wish me a Happy Birthday and that always makes you feel special! I can't believe that I am know 27 years old. I still feel young but know that I am pushing 30. My cousin Michelle and I use to always pretend that we were older...we could never just be our own age....and the other day this guy told me that he thought I was 22 or 23...that was so sweet!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Also on my birthday I got a job offer to be a apartment manager in Holliday...that was a great birthday present! </div>Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534190030193135005.post-32209251697620193932008-10-02T20:31:00.000-07:002008-10-02T20:35:51.740-07:00Hey All!I am coming to the understanding that I am not very good at this blog thing! Good job to all those that stay on top of writing on your blog! I guess this is like a journal....when I was younger I use to be really good in writing in my journal....there was times I wouldn't be as good but for the most part I was pretty good...........but as I have gotten older I have stopped writing in my journal. So anyways as always I am going to try to be better. I have lots to catch up...so I am going to do my best to get all caught up.Mindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074494582044659834noreply@blogger.com0
