I have been going swimming as much as I can because I love love love to swim. Plus I am getting in good exercise which is always a bonus. I have been on the thing where I am trying to be healthier and I workout a lot more than I have in the past and try to be as healthy as I can. One of the best things about working out now is that if in the future I get pregnant and I have already been working out then I should be able to stay active during the pregnancy. I am so happy that we have a pool here and we can go basically whenever we want even if Mark doesn't really like it, I don't usually mind going alone cause of how much I love to swim. 

Seriously this is our new favorite place to eat!! Their ribs are to die for and I am so glad we found our new favorite place to eat. I think we really enjoy the environment as well. I really suggest that everyone tries their ribs! HAHA that was a little bit of just a silly post but I was excited. Plus we are going again for a date night and I am sooo excited! 

We seem to struggle with life and its many battles and journey's, but we always get by, which I know in my heart that is the greatest blessing of all. There are days I want to have a family so bad that it is literally depressing knowing that I can see the light but I can't touch it, and I am not even close yet. I put those lyrics up above because they have been so inspiring to me these last few months. The Song is called "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri and I truly love the song, in fact I have decided when we have our first child I want this song to be playing in the room. That is how much it has inspired me to stay strong and keep loving our future children and our future family. I know that Heavenly Father has so much in store for us and I know that my Savior knows our pain and our heartache. Not being able to control the situation is so hard because I really really like to be in control, and I think that this may be one of the hardest trials we will have to go through, is waiting. Waiting for that day when we can hold my baby for the very first time, when we can smell him/her, and kiss him/her, and finally have that joy of being MOM and DAD. We move forward as one and we understand each other and most of the reasons we have to wait for our family. I know we will appreciate it that much more because we waited, not because we wanted to, but because Heavenly Father knew we needed to. There will still be days that we struggle and hurt because of it but this our journey and such is life. I know we will have a family and grow toward being that much closer to being with our Heavenly Father. That is all we could ever hope for...all we could ask for.

Not very long ago we applied for a job with the church and things started to kind of just happen. We found out we were in the top four and then all of the sudden we were in the top two, but holy crap this would mean we would be moving to Guam. We started to make plans for moving and trying to get things done so we could. We felt in our hearts that for some reason we were going to be moving, and so I decided to tell my job that there was a possibility that we would be moving to Guam, and that it wasn't for sure but maybe. That very day she decided she felt I was not reliable and let me go from my job, but that isn't even the worst part. That very night we had our last interview and found out the other family had received the job. I think I was more heart broken then Mark was, but I think everything has its reasons. Mark seemed to take it well, but in our hearts I think we still hope that we will get a job with the church. It is the kind of break we need, not that it is a break but we have been stuck in a rut and I think it would be amazing for our family. So we almost moved to Guam, crazy I know, but we are still getting by and happily married, even with the mountains we have been climbing on a regular basis. HaHaHa...
