Time to Get the Cobwebs Dusted Off.....

Wow, it's been FOREVER!! And I doubt any of you are keeping any track of our lives but here's an update for those of you who still care....





Work: I got a job at a place called Provo Canyon School and I absolutely LOVE it! I'm just a PRN (on-call) but I basically have hours of a full-time employee, minus benefits. I also am the assistant volleyball coach there. I love all my volleyball girls! They are so fun and TALENTED! I also get to help out with the basketball team... hilarious, I know! Ben is still chugging away at Traditions Mill and still loves it just as much. His boss will sometime try to bribe him with money to skip his class for a day just to stay at work a little longer but Ben is so good, he says no and faithfully goes to.....





School: He's been doing great! He'll go to his class and then stay there "studying" (or napping... usually his studies involve both...but he swares that it's about 80% study, 20% nap). I told him that I'll give him a snowboarding pass for the upcoming season if he gets a 3.5 or above. We'll see...



Play: We decided to grow up and be more mature so we backed off on the sports. So this season we're ONLY on (this is a combined list) 1 women's soccer team and 1 men's soccer team at Timp Indoor and 1 flag football team, 1 soccer team, and 1 co-ed ultimate frisbee team with BYU Intramurals. See? We backed off.



Church: I'm the 1st counselor in the YW presidency in our ward and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Mia Maids. I have about 7 girls that I'm over and they are so funny! And can I just tell you how EXCITED I am to NOT have a music calling?! Finally!! (But no, this does not mean that I get a break.... they still ask me to play for the choir and sometimes the organist..... BUT IT'S NOT A CALLING!!!) Ben has 2 callings: Elders Quorum teacher (again) and Priests Quorum advisor... which he also loves. The Priests in the ward have so much fun with Ben.



Family: My mom calls me on a Thursday night and said they're coming to visit us that weekend. Good thing my house is clean! We had so much fun seeing them even though it was for just a short time.... but who cares?! I haven't seen my dad in 2 years so we all had a blast just talking and seeing each other! And of course we HAD to take our regular family picture.... I think my dad just thinks we're crazy..... and my mom. Ben was at school (yeah, he has class on Saturdays.... stupid) so that's why he's not in the picture!




Big News: I'm FINALLY (and much more important, legally) a Wheeler. Yup, after 2 years, 8 months, and 18 days, I finally went from being a Kalilimoku to a Wheeler. Don't judge.... it was seriously the hardest thing I've ever had to do!




So there's your big update for all you out there.
