hello again

Wow,
It has been SOO long since I have posted. My, how the time flies. We have had a ton going on these past few months I haven't even thought about blogging but now that its Christmas break, I have a little time and should probably post and update.

Alex and I both survived the semester! Alex was driving to SL twice a week doing an internship while taking a full load of classes at USU! whoa. not sure how he did it, We defiantly had our stressed out moments but with the help of wonderful family members, best friends, and ward members we were both able to make it out of our last semester alive and without neglecting Max. He had a lot of fun playing with friends, cousins, and grandparents throughout the semester which was such a blessing. Thank you to EVERYONE who has helped us, we are SO grateful for all your help and know we couldn't have done it without your support! It is so nice to be done with school!! we did it! It really happened! Alex will graduate in Electrical Engineering and I will graduate in Exercise Science. We both loved our majors and it is exactly what we wanted to be studying.

I am so proud of Alex for all his hard work. I have never seen anyone work as hard in school as him. I can't even count the nights he was up all night studying after working all day. I admire him for working so hard to support a family and get a degree all at the same time. That is something that not many can do!! Although his commute to SL twice a week was probably exhausting it ended up being worth it for all of us because he was offered a job before he even graduated. What a blessing!!! He is truly amazing and I feel so thankful for all he has done for our family. We love him so much. Although it was a hard few months we know we were so blessed along the way. We have so much to be thankful for.

Alex will start working in January so we will be getting ready to make the move soon, trying not to think too much about it until after Christmas...

I have been thinking back a lot on our last 4 1/2 years together and what a ride it has been, we have lived in Texas 2's, Illinois 2's, and in 3 apartments in Utah. We have lived in 8 different apartments since we have been married, getting ready for the 9th move! with all the moving we have done I don't get how we still have collected so much stuff!! each time we are cleaning out and getting rid of things but each time we still end up with random crap. funny how that happens. We were so blessed to have Max in the midst of it all, He has been such a blessing in our life and brings us so much joy! We love our wittle Max so much!! Well that was just a short quick update, but I think I'll get back to my blogging self now that school wont be on the brain and more time on our hands.

another HUGE thank you for all the wonderful people in our life who have helped us along the way!! XOXOXO Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
