Numero UNO

Well finding something beautiful today was easy!! Eric and I went to the Draper Temple! Such a beautiful place! Since the new year we have been trying to go to the temple once a month! We loved having the Mesa Temple so close to us!! And NOW we have a huge selection of temples we can go to!! We love going and feeling the spirit! We absolutely fell in LOVE with Draper driving through! Such a cute little place! Eric wants to live there. :) OK talked me INTO it.

joy... FIND IT!

OH how I love apartments... it wouldn't be apartment living with out our car being broken into! 2nd Time in a year... First time happened in our APARTMENTS in Arizona. Luckily we didn't drive the Jeep a lot, so there wasn't very much in there. Except for my BIKE!! So sad its gone! I guess that will teach me to leave things in the car. They also stole the stereo... LOVELY.
Oh and they stole all of Eric's checks... but we took care of that already and it actually gave us a reason to FINALLY get a joint account!! YAY!! But really, I am thankful for our neighbor who called the Murray City Police, who then called me!


A couple weeks ago in Relief Society we had a lesson on finding joy in life. And seeing beauty in everything. So I have been trying to do this. And I love it! Life is so much better when you are enjoying and finding beauty in everything! (EVEN the break-ins.. ) And since I want to be come a BLOGMASTER I have decide to share what I find everyday on here for a month or longer, we will see. Each night I will post a PIC or STORY of how I found beauty in life or something that makes me happy!
SO TONIGHT will be the first official one!
But here are a FEW things that have made me smile since that life-changing Sunday. :)
Eric and I went to Gardner Village. (Me and My mom's FAVORITE craft place)


That is going to be us in the FUTURE. haha.
Most amazing Fudge on EARTH. Plus its our favorite 3yr old nieces name! AFTON!

I just really love this guy! He makes me smile EVERYDAY.

Monday night is USUALLY TrueBlood night since we miss it on SUNDAY because we don't have HBO. SO we get settled on the couch...

Pop open a nice cold ARIZONA JUICE. watermelon is BEST...

grab some snacks and enjoy watching the drama unfold!

OK this is Maddie. She was at Texas Roadhouse last night at one of my tables and it was kids night and we were having an eating contest. They had to eat a bowl of mashed potatoes with out using their hands. She DOMINATED. and loved every second of it. She made my night!!

I just laugh every time I look at that cute face!

UTAH!

Well... I am a horrible blogger. That is all there is to it. I probably wont be good at it. BUT I am going to try. So since MAY: We packed up our lovely apt in AZ. I flew to Utah to be in Sarah & Levi Mack's wedding.
I drove to Idaho for a month long vacay. Eric drove a Penske Truck up from AZ. My brother Taylor got home from his mission. We drove down to Logan to go to the temple only to find out it was CLOSED for cleaning, and ended up driving to Idaho Falls from there. Eric and I found an apartment in Murray. We went four wheeling, boating, and swam in the Portneuf River. Moved all of our stuff to Murray. Went to a Bee's Game with all the JENSENs. Went to Lava with all the JENSENs. Had a couple BBQs. We flew to AZ to gather up the rest of our stuff. We spent the night on an air mattress in our empty apartment. Eric drove the Jeep and I drove the Yaris to Utah. We stayed the night in Vegas to visit our favorite nieces!

Unpacked everything. Went to church at our new ward in Murray. Found out our new ward is all retired people... plus 3 or 4 young couples. Eric started work at ADT. I started work at Texas. AND spent the last weekend in Idaho for Blakes birthday & played mini golf with Tews!

And took a pic of our rad shoes.


Needless to say life has been a whirlwind.
and we love it.
