"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Grrrrr

I'm sorry for not posting anything yet. Teaching school and being married at the same time is proving to be VERY time-consuming. Plus, I was called as the ward choir pianist, which I couldn't turn down but I really don't have time for right now. Though, school will be over in 2 months. As far as next year goes, I don't know what I'm going to do. The school has chosen not to renew my contract for whatever reason (which I REALLY don't want to get into), so I have to find a new job. The question is, do I try to get a job teaching or do I go in another direction? I guess we'll see. I'll try to keep you posted. :D

Two Month Anniversary!


Yes, that's right, we have been offically married for two months now. We are loving life and each other. Monday evenings we have Family Home Evening, Tuesday evenings I have class, 3 left. Wednesday evening we spend it together or go to Institute, Thursday evening we go Roller Skating, and Friday we take dance lessons together. The weekends we have all kinds of fun and do the things that need to be done to prepare for the upcoming week.

Right now we are living in the downstairs of Malinda's parents house. It's nice and her parents are great. So far, it's working out well.

I am now working at Nu Skin and enjoying it. The company treats me very well.

Malinda has her up and down days teaching Jr. High Algebra in Lehi, but for the most part, she seems to enjoy it and she makes pretty good money. We are both glad to have employment in this terrible economy, even if they are not the best.

We read the scriptures together every night, pray together, and are striving to keep our relationship strong, healthy and happy.
