Help!


May was a super exciting month... several road trips, a couple of weddings (including my own), kids, school, packing... June started out the same... moving to Utah, finals, graduation, unpacking, spending the weekends with Kevin's awesome kiddaboos.. .but the sad thing is... I am BORED during the day when Kevin is at work and most of all... I miss my kids and I still have another month to go before they come back from spending the summer in Bakersfield.

I have been looking for a job...and since I am a college graduate now this should be cake, right? Not so much... A job would not only keep me busy but it would also help pay the bills... I have been working on my resume and have sent it out to several different corporations. I have also been to LDS employment services and will be attending their workshops this week. I want a job working in anthropology, CRM, or even teaching (I need to get my Utah teaching credential). So if anyone knows of anything fabulous in the Southern Utah region please let me know.

Kevin and I were also called to serve together as the ward nursery leaders. So I can fill some of my free time preparing for our two hours with a dozen two and three year olds this coming Sunday. Anyone with titillating ideas to occupy these cute little monsters will be loved unconditionally forever...

P.S. Kevin and I never fight... I do not know what he is talking about... I am always right and once he learns this tid-bit of information then he and I will never have a problem...(wink)...

Getting To Know You - by Kevin Farnsworth

Married life is great!  So much better then being single!!  Having someone to share your triumphs and discouragements with.  Someone who has your back when it seems like the whole world is against you.  I love Jess and she loves me.  We are having fun getting to know each other and the little quirks we have and are just finding out.  To be perfectly honest, we fight a lot!  We are very similar as far as personalities and we tend to clash at times.  We are both extremely stubborn individuals and neither of us like to be wrong.  What I love is that we are able to apologize and move on.  We don't keep our feelings buried and hold a grudge for days or weeks or years at a time.  If we have a problem we air it out and sometimes it get's a little hairy!  I am happy to say that at the writing of this post it has been four days since our last argument, progress!!

I look forward to strengthening my  relationship with Jess and I know that she feels the same way.  Neither one of us would have been divorced if it was our choice, that's just not who we are, we don't quit, we like to stick things out and struggle through the hard times knowing that good times are on the horizon, isn't that what life is all about?  Neither of us are perfect and we acknowledge our faults and don't judge the other or nit pick one another.  We strive to look for the good in each other and exercise love and patience.  Jess has the harder job in this aspect.  I am grateful for her.  Never in my life have I met someone who has possessed such love and forgiveness towards others.  I look forward to learning from her for the rest of my life.  I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has brought two imperfect people together and given them a chance to be happy.

I was going to write more but I forgot that I was supposed to do the dishes tonight.  Well, four days isn't bad!
