When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Our Trip! Cont....

Right after the play... which was AMAZING! Holy Crap it was awesome! I have to admit... I was crying. I'm not sure if it was because I was so excited or because it was so good, basically we loved it... even Todd!
If you look really close you can see the stage.. These were our seats. Right after we took this picture the picture nazi usher yelled at us.. it was kind of funny.... but we were excited!
We took this picture right out of the Theater.. at this point I was hyper ventilating!
This is us at the very edge of the pier... we were very happy because in just four hours we were going to see Wicked! woot!

We went on the ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier... it was fun! We needed to relax after such a long drive and what not...it was so beautiful there.. but very expensive.. but still beautiful!

Pinewood Derby!

Last night our Elder's Quorem had a pinewood derby... it's basically the coolest thing ever! We had some good cars going on! Here are a few pictures of the awesome creativity we had. In the top picture, the blue car that is third to the right is Todd's real racing car. It did really well! On the second picture down is a picture of the Oscar Myer car racing. That was Todd's funny car. It did pretty well for being a hot dog... we had fun making that car. It was hilarious! Farther down is a picture of the placement of the racers. If you notice, Todd got 4th over all. I was very proud of him and his car that he just found hat his mom's house. It was hilarious! Then there is a close up of Oscar Myer Weiner car in our apartment.. we were very proud. And the last picture is of the ward waiting in anticipation of who is going to win as a race is about to start. We had a blast! We love our ward.. they are so cool!

Woot!

So I'm trying to get Medicaid with this whole pregnancy thing... what a head ache! If we can't qualify for Medicaid, I don't know who the heck can! Anyway my first doctor's appointment is this week and we're very excited because we get to have an ultrasound! I finally get to see my baby. I hope everything goes well... I'm kind of nervous for something bad to happen... hopefully life will be good and there will be no complications!

New Job


I'm really trying to find a new job because since I've been sick all the time, I can't walk a lot or do a lot of heavy work. So I call in sick almost every day... it's ridiculous. So I really want a desk job. I'm trying to find one, so if by chance you hear about a good job in Cedar City where I can sit and work at a desk, let me know. We need more money for this baby growing inside of me... anyway.. hopefully the search will go well.

My life!




Can I just say how sick of throwing up I am. Today is the first time in two days I have actually left my apartment... and it's not that big of a place... I'm living but I just imagine how this can get worse. I'm really hoping it won't. I'm hoping that Heavenly Father will realize how weak I am and say, ok that's enough for Christie.... we'll see though...

Stupid Work!


I know that I should be happy to have a job and that I'm able to make money, but goodness this job is kicking my trash. I had this job last summer, (Housekeeping on campus) and I was fine. But I'm trying to be a much better employee and I'm just so tired. We stayed until almost 7 last night...and we had to be back at 6 this morning. Give us a break! I'm so sick of scrubbing and running around. If I can ever just relax for a day... things will be good.. too bad I have to work on Saturday too! STUPID!

Wedding fun!

So this past weekend Todd's sister to married, and it was lots of fun. It took forever to get these pictures up so I might do a few more if I have time. ANyway! Todd looked flippin' sweet in a tux, it reminded me of our wedding day.. hmmm anyway! This was us trying to carry all the flowers to the reception all.. which was gorgeous. HOpefully I can get more pictures up with how beautiful it all was, anywho, oh and this was us at the wedding, happy as can be!

EASTER!

Alright, this was when we dyed some easter eggs on Easter. How appropriate! We both did a few each and then that picture down t here is all of the eggs that we did. It was lots of fun. It was the second time we've done this together, last time was when we were still friends.. but we were on a date, so it was kind of exciting because we're getting much closer to being with each other for a year.... WOOT! But I think our eggs ended up pretty nicely!

SLC Temple!

This was on spring break and we were able to go to the SLC temple. It was basically amazing. I just got all these pictures so I can now use them. Anyway! I don't really like the picture with me, I look stupid but I really like his picture alone and I didn't want to just put him up there.. but yeah, this is us, oh and the lighting is really weird, but don't worry about that!

Todd's Birthday!!!! (He's 24)

So his mom gave him four pairs of these awesome glasses! They totally rocked! I held my mouth open forever in this picture that's why I look so stupid! But this was at her house, at his family party. It was good times!
This is what he found when he got home that day. It was on our bed! I thought it was funny, get all the swedish fish on the bed? Because he's a FISHER and he's swedish.. so it's funny!
This is what it said.. kind of silly and yeah, probably a little sappy!
This was right after he blew out his candles, he knew I was taking the picture so he made a silly face... just Todd not letting me get a normal picture! Silly boy!
Oh boy! How can you not love this boy? I just don't get it! hehehe

AHHHHHHHHHHHH


So our apartment is having major plumbing problems! Our toilet has overflown three times in the past month or so. It's driving me crazy! It is so disgusting to clean up... oh and my wonderful Todd has been so good because it always over flows when I'm about to leave for work or for a study session. He is always left behind to do it himself. He's amazing. I love him so much and it's so willing to do it! I think he's the best husband in the world! I hope it will stop this nonsense soon!

SO MUCH FOOD!!!!!


So yesterday was Todd's Birthday. I will get real pictures up later, but since he loves food so much, I decided to make him his favorite meal for all three meals. I ate SO much yesterday! It was absolute ludicrous! I am almost kind of sick this morning because I had so much food yesterday. It makes me want to go on a VERY strict diet... blahhhhhhhh

Understanding


So being on campus and listening to all the different crazy conversations that happen around me while I'm at work and around different types of people, I am more and more aware of how blessed I am. It amazes me how lost and confused so many people are. I like to talk to people and get their opinions as to why they get that tattoo and why they pierced their face fifty times, and they are always different answers, but they are almost ridiculous answers. It's just so they look pretty, which most of them are hideous, or to add something new to their skin, or because it's the in-fad. Either way, they are destroying their body just because of shallow reasons. In one of my classes I had to read about sexuality amongst teens. I couldn't believe the statistics and numbers concerning these teens and what they were doing. They knew things they shouldn't even consider until after marriage, and even then it was inappropriate. It makes me realize how blessed I am that I know the truth and I feel clean and I'm able to walk into this house of the Lord and feel worthy. I love the fact that this gospel enfolds me in it's arms and makes me feel loved and comforted. No where else could that happen!
