Discovery

So I was looking through some friends blogs and discovered that you could leave a comment!....Then I thought to myself, "I wonder if anyone has ever left a comment on mine..."

Lo and behold there were 14. So, I'm not a snob, I just didn't know until this very moment...Now I do and I can respond to them!!!! And boy oh boy let me tell you, it's an exciting feeling!

Remember how Jake decided on a whim to travel with his Mom to Utah to help her out? It's a good thing he did because now they are sitting in the car on the side of the road.... with everyone else.... waiting for the interstate to open. :)

I just hope they make it back by next week at this rate.

Happy 2008!!

I know it's already been a few days but Happy New Year! It's hard to keep this updated not having the internet at our place...but I'll put in some extra effort from now on.

It's been 3 weeks since graduation and still no luck on a job for Jake yet. We still have our fingers crossed on a couple of prospects however. We're finally pretty much settled into our place and we're just waiting on our new sofa and love seat that we bought about 2 weeks ago. Our ward is really small and I'm pretty sure we're the youngest family. It's definitely quite different from the typical student ward. Jake just got called into the Young Men presidency and I will get my calling in a couple of weeks so I'll fill everyone in on that when it happens....but the calling was no surprise to me considering its the fourth time I've been in that position ;)

We still haven't gotten our camera fixed, it's toward the bottom of the list of all the things to get done right now. But I can't wait to get it fixed because I feel like we're missing out big time on Cooper's milestones. He's been cutting his first tooth this week, that little thing is sharp! He also started scooting around and trying to get on all fours. He's absolutely hilarious and we love love love him.

My sister Paige went back to school today. My parents are driving her out to Rexburg and will be back in a few days. I'm going to miss Paige a lot!!! She's one of the only friends I have around here! In the meanwhile Jake and I are keeping Carly and Chad, playing soccer mom and such. Jake is actually leaving with his mom tomorrow morning to help her drive as she takes our family friend, Megan, down to UofU. He'll be gone for a few days....And I'll have the tooth cutting monster :)

My goal is to call a lot of our friends to say hi....so expect a call from me!
