Update :)

Well, I think it is time for another update. I need to do better at keeping this updated so people can know how we are doing :) Well... Lets See...

Brandon got laid off from Pride in Salt Lake City, but he was very diligent and actually found another job in 2 days Yay! He is now working for Pride Air Express in Idaho Falls. We are really enjoying that his job is closer to home, he is able to make it home more often now. He also enjoys the company he now works for, it isn't as big, and it seem a bit more family oriented. He has done an excellent job already with the trips they have sent him on with loads. Brandon is a very fast learner, and he never gives up learning or trying. Those are great qualities that he possess. We are so grateful for this job and the time that it came around. We really feel like Heavenly Father is watching out for us, and trying to help us in the trials and obsticals we face in life.

This is Brandon with his New Truck From Pride Air Express

Life has changed for both of us. Brandon with his new job, which I'm excited to be able to go on a trip with him sometime, is doing wonderful. I actually got laid off from my job. The company I worked for decided that we were not able to stay in business so the doors closed July 1st. It was a shock and hard at first because we were not sure what I was going to do. Well for right now I am at home and getting caught up on some things that I have started there. I am taking a medical transcriptionist course which I am hoping to finish in the next 4 months and when I finish that I will be able to work from home being a medical transcriptionist :) I sure hope I can get through it quick and get started. So we are hoping and praying that all goes well, and we will live with Brandon's job for right now, and then when I'm able to start working at home then I will. Brandon has really taken up the challenge and is being the most wonderful husband and provider for us.

Being debt free is the way to be, and that is our goal for now. We are focused on getting debts paid off and not have that worry or stress over us anymore. It is true what the prophets and apostles have told us about getting into debt. It is necessary in some situations, but if at all possible stay as debt free as possible and you will enjoy life more because you don't have to worry about those debts.

I will need to take more pictures so everyone can see us now :) I haven't really taken many and so I will do better because most the pictures I have are from our wedding still, which here in two weeks will have been 2 years ago! Yay! We are making it and loving it more with each passing day. It is the most wonderful thing to be married to your best friend with whom you can share every moment in life with whether it be good or bad. We have grown a lot in the 2 years we have been married and look forward to many more years to come. We have a lot of plans for our lives, and look forward to making each of them happen. Knowing of course that it will take time and patience before many of them can happen, but we are happy and willing to see what the Lord has in store for us also. 

Our Crazy Life

Okay, so obviously I am not very good at being consistend with blogging. Here I am again trying to get some of our life put down into words :D

Well It is a new year and so much has happened already. January 11th Brandon had surgery where they removed his galbladder. It was a painful process of recovery, but he is doing much better since it has been removed, and has gotten sick less. Yay! He also switched truck driving school, and officially earned his certificiate from Sage Trucking March 23rd. I did a great job and neded up landing a job with Pride Transport starting March 28th. He has been in training since then and has one more month of traning to go. He is doing a wonderful job, his trainer has had many compliments about Brandon's ability to drive the truck, he says "Brandon is a natural".  It is hard not having him home all the time like before, but it is for the better, and so wonderful to have him working again. I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished. He is a wonderful husband, companion, and friend I love the moments we share together. I think that through this whole experience of him being a truck driver and being gone, it has brought us closer together then we ever have been. I look forward to when I get to accompany him on the truck on occasions to see what its like, and enjoy time with him on the truck.

I have been busy working, and that is really about it. Work has become a bit different since there have been many changes in the way that transportation is offered my job has changed a lot. I do the payroll, help with billing, and many other tasks in the office. I still enjoy my job, and I really enjoy the people I work with, but at the same time I feel like I am needing some change. There aren't any challenges to meet anymore it has become rather... boring I guess you could say. But it is a job and I will stick with it, I know that we are blessed to have two jobs right now, and a job of any kind (boring or not) is a wonderful blessing in this economy.

You know... I have been thinking and I have realized that even when we are going through trials we truly are blessed. It us difficult to see blessings at the time of a trial, but blessings are always being bestowed upon us because we have a loving Heavenly Father. I came to this realization after my second miscarraige which I had about 1 1/2-2 months ago. Yes I would have absolutely loved to hold that little baby in my arms, and have those crazy feelings that mothers go through when they are pregnant, but it just wasn't ment to be just yet. I could have pitty on myself and say oh wo is me, but I can't, I know that there is a better plan for me at this time, and the Lord is molding me into the person he needs me to be. There are changes to come in our future, and maybe having a baby while they are going on is not the best for myself, a baby, or Brandon. Don't get me wrong I look forward to the day when I can be a mother, but you know... that day will come, and it will be when the Lord knows that everything will be okay, I can trust and confide in him to know when that day will be. We are looking forward to moving to Utah closer to Brandons "base" for work so I can see him more. In time he will be able to work in the offices there and be home every night. So maybe things will work out so that he can be home more during the time that we are raising children. Looking back at trials I realize that it is so true what the poem "Footprints" says. During the times that we struggled the most there was only one set of footprints, but it was not our own, they were the Lords. He lifts us up and helps us to be better, and happier in life if we will just trust in him.

Well, I am not sure what else to say, I just felt like expressing myself today, and I thank all my family and friends who support Brandon and I in all we have been able to do in our lives. We have only been married for a short time still and we look forward to an eternity together. I know that happiness comes through the eye of the beholder, and even in these troubling times, happiness can be found. It is found in the smallest of things it may be a ray of sunshine, a smile, the touch of a loved one, a flower blossoming, the warmth of a fire, the touch of a rain drop. Wherever we look we are able to see something to smile about. Enjoy life my friends, that is why we are here, is to enjoy it through all that may come our way.

~Love Forever ~ Laugh Always ~ Live Often ~

All Moved In

Okay, I know, I know I still don't have pictures up, but I have found Brandon's Camera so I can take the pictures, now I just have to find the cord to connect it to the computer. I hope that pictures will be posted soon. My mom and Brandon helped move everything over into the trailer and put it all together. It looks great, I love our new home. It is so cozy, and just the perfect size. When I get pictures you may think it looks a little crampt (we do have a lot of stuff for a trailer) but it is great. We are really enjoying just having our own place, now we will be getting everything paid off hopefully so we can get a move on to other things also and get some money saved. It was a lot of work to get the trailer ready, floors had to be patched, new flooring put in, and quite a bit of work done to the bathroom, but in the end it was all worth it. It is the best!

February 17th. A day to remember

Today we went to the Dr. Office and found out we had lost our little boy. We also found out it was a boy. We are deeply saddened by this loss, we were looking forward to it so much. But we also have a reasurance that we will be able to live with our son again. The gospel has given us so much hope and reason for living, we are so excited to know that our eternal family has started, even though it is so sad, we know this is all part of the plan that the Lord has for us. We will not forsake him. We owe so much to the Lord. We also have given him a name, It is Austin James Guymon he is the light of our life right now and one more reason for doing all we can to return and live with him again. Talking about it is still hard, and I imagine it always will be but we will make it. Austin has the best view in town, he is buried on the hill behind my parents house in Afton, Wyoming. What a blessing to have such an angel already waiting for us along with other dear family members.

Our New Home, Our Trailer!

Well the exciting news for the week. Have have bought ourselves a trailer in rexburg to live in. This means no more outrageous rent YAY! We are so excited, it is a single wide trailer with two bedrooms, one bath, a very nice, large living room, and a cute kitchen. We do have to do some remodeling which we are very excited about, its not much, but some new carpet and some paint will do it wonders. We can't start doing anything until next month (February) but then I am so excited to get started! We will not be moving in until April so it gives us some time to get things done, take our time, and enjoy this excited adventure.
