It's Been Such A Long Time

The boston song rings true as it has been awhile since I have posted something on the blog. It might have to do with my computer failing slowly. Oh well, this March would've been 4 years but I don't know if it will last that long. Big news is that I bought Marnie a dog for her anniversary and birthday gift. His name is bandit and most days he is a pain but we still love him anyways. We have enjoyed visits from family over the summer and were excited to get back in the swing of things with school. Both of us vowed to do better and we have so far so here is to keeping up! Nothing much else going on other than I had an infected toenail that was a pain as I was out of work for a week and half. And, Marnie got this week and passed it to me, which when I get sick it really hits me. I have been in bed or on the couch since Monday which hasn't been fun at all. Here is to everyone hoping they are well and enjoying life. Jameson

We are the Champions!!!

Well summer is here and that means I get to go back to school. To reach my graduation date of April 2012 I have to take some classes this summer. It also gives me the opportunity to make up a physics class which I have discovered to be my least favorite science subject. The fun part is I don't have to use it after the test I get to take next year. Marnie continues to go to school, so there is no relaxing for us. We are enjoying have my sister stay with us for the summer as she gets ready for college life. Hopefully she can find a job soon and experience that fun lifes lesson. Nothing special is really going on in our life right now, sorry for that. We are excited about the news for our cousin's baby coming in January. Kids are very special and rewarding and whenever the time comes we hope to be ready. That isn't an announcement by the way, nothing is happening at the moment in that department. Well we love you all and for your support, especially in this moment as things have been tough. I don't think this would be a good post without mentioning the Lakers are the CHAMPIONS!!!!!!! I enjoyed the series very much and it was nerve racking at times it was a classic. We hope you all are doing well and that God is answering your prayers. JM

Young Forever

Well it has been awhile since we posted and you can say that is for finals and graduation. Finals were bad for me as one of them was a 57% average, which to me is ridiculous. But, at least I am done and enjoying a few weeks off before the summer term. Marnie is starting finals this week I think and then a few weeks off before starting her next term. We are excited for our vacation plans to California and Arizona too. We are going to finish our honeymoon by going to magic mountain and then drive to Arizona to see my sister graduate high school. She got accepted to BYU and will live with us for the summer until the fall starts. As you can see we got a new kitty and are trying it out one more time before we see if I am allergic or not. Hope things are well with you JM

Et Ducit Mundum Per Luce

yeah i know this has been awhile, but we have a lot of things on our plate right now and most weekends we are running around all day. We enjoyed a visit from my sister Tyci this last week as she came to visit us. Nothing really big going on right now, that is also a reason for the delay in writing an entry. We did find out on Sunday that we are going to be nursery leaders with another couple. The bishop said we will be rotating every other weekend with them, so that will be nice. Sometimes it will be me and another person in there because Marnie has to work some Sundays.
Marnie- She continues to go to Provo College and study nursing. 1.5 years left and she will be done and I know she will be greatful for that.
Jameson- I continue to go to school at BYU and nothing extra right now. I did enjoy the BYU games in March Madness and was sad to see them lose :(

We look forward to May when we are going on vacation to California and Arizona. Talk to you all soon

Happy New Year

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and an update will be coming soon JM

Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow :)

Well the snow is starting to come down which means some changes in our lives. The scooter is up for the winter and I get to take the car while Marnie rides the bus to work. Our lives continue to remain busy that we can't wait for the break in 2 weeks where we will be in Arizona! First bit of news was the amazing defeat of Utah at the hands of BYU. We lucked out and had some incredible seats for the game and it was the best one I have ever been too. After the exciting touchdown in overtime everyone started to rush the field so I jumped down and enjoyed that for a bit before I hooked back up with Marnie and my friend. Our thanksgiving was great and Marnie worked 8 hours that day so we had a small dinner of turkey, mashed potatoes, and rolls. After watching a little football we headed out to Old Navy and Michaels to get some clothes and a christmas tradition. We started a tradition last year that each year we will buy a piece of a christmas town set by lemax, so we ended up getting two this year. One was on clearance and Marnie really liked it. The rest of the weekend was relaxing for me and Marnie had to work a lot. Well finals week is next week and since we can't leave till Saturday I won't be taking my finals till later. I have one scheduled for Friday morning that I have to take then, the others will be wednesday and thursday. Well that is about it we continue to work and enjoy life together. Last of all Marnie saw New Moon last week and she is too happy right now ahhh. JM

Gotta Be Somebody's Blues (Jimmy Eat World)

Taking a song from one of my favorite bands our house has been sad for the last few weeks. My anniversary gift to Marnie was a little kitty, 2 months old and born on the 4th of July :), ended up playing with my allergies and we had to get rid of her. I know my friend and cousin's husband are now able to breathe easier when they come over, but it has been sad on us, but once I figure how to get pictures up here I will post some of our dear Muffin. The last few weeks have been very crazy for the both of us. My mom and sisters along with grandparents came up a few weeks ago and it was great to see them. Plus my cousins also were with us a lot that weekend so it was a ton of fun watching football, playing games, and eating out :) The week after that my dad came up for the BYU TCU game, which I felt bad because that wasnt the game to see this year as BYU got creamed on homecoming :( Those sports fans out there know about college gameday that broadcasts every saturday from different locations where the big game of the week is. The BYU TCU game was that game and they were here broadcasting at 7 in the morning to 10. My friend, dad, and I went to that and enjoyed being part of the crowd. After we got home I had recorded those shows and it was fun to see us in the crowd :) Well a little while ago I had mentioned that we bought a new Honda CRV, well the bank didn't like us having that car, so we got one more affordable in a 2009 Santa Fe. We love it and pictures will come of our new black SUV. Well the last bit of news is our return church. It has been a struggle to continue going to church for me, but seeing changes that needed to be made in my life I decided to start going with Marnie to church every week. The last few weeks have been fun getting back into all the programs and I already feel more uplifted than before, thank you all for your support and love. Well I gotta go, but we hope everyone is doing well and we love you all JM
