Who Woulda Thought?

Hello hello! Good grief i feel like i've been gone forever. I have so much to catch up on that it's becoming a tad overwhelming. We have been so busy going though many fun times and many crazy character building times. :) I will soon be blogging about the following: Nicci turned 2 and her birthday was out-of-control fun, we got a bunny for Nicci (she is ridiculously cute by the way), Nicci's new bff...and our new good friends (Amy & Randy), we were involved in some fraud which resulted in us losing the Accord BUT it turned around to be a huge blessing, we got another car -lol-, we have become officially debt free, Nicci colored on the wall for the first time (thank heaven for the 'magic eraser'), i can't get my nose out of Twilight, we have finally almost finished our cute backyard, and drum roll please... we got callings today!

Introducing the new Primary Teacher- 6 year olds here i come! :)


Introducing the new Assistant Cub Scout Master! He is going to do so great!


Seth is overly excited to be apart of the cub scouts; he is so wonderful with the youth! (Gosh i love him.) However,
i went into getting my calling with the secret attitude of not wanting to be called to Primary, and now...who woulda thought...after letting it sink in all day and reading the manual a little bit, i'm looking forward to teaching these cute 6 year olds and being apart of their special little lives!!

Congrats on the callings, that is way fun. Allen is teaching the 14-18 year olds, yeah that's not a fun calling. He's awesome though. Talk to you later?

Have fun with your calling! I was in your ward today for my sister's Y.W. award and wanted to say HI but I ended up taking Lauren out because she woke up crying. Next time right? There is a possibility we might be moving into the country club so that we would be fun to get to know each other better! Sorry for the novel!
Are you just starting Twilight? I recently finished the 3rd book and LOVED all of them! You'll have to let me know which book you are on so I can ask you a certain question =)

CONGRATS! What a lucky group of kids to get you for a teacher! I think they will just LOVE you!
By the way...I read twilight in a little over a day! I read all three books in like 4 days!

SOOO glad to have you back in blogging land! I have missed your posts.

These callings sound so fun. I love getting to know the kids in the ward, because then they tell your parents about you and it seems like you get to know a lot of people that way (or at least that was somewhat my experience from subbing in primary a few times). I can't wait for all of the updated posts!

Wow! Sounds like you've had a crazy life lately. I am totally curious about the fraud incident. It sounds like an ordeal. And being debt free is a great accomplishment. Does that include your house being paid off? Anyway, I'm glad you posted an update. Your family is just too cute, and congrats on the callings! (P.S.- We should get together sometime!)

Jensen Family said...

thank you for reading twilight! When you are done we can talk about it for 2.5 hours! Oh...since my phone broke I don't have your number. Will you text it to Travis'phone..Seth should have his number

I am so glad you posted.
-I have missed reading your blog.
-You're hair looks so cute in that first picture.
-Isnt it so funny, its exciting to get callings, but then again its a little bit overwhelming.
-Fraud?? CRAZY. Like Katie Footes questions... Does that include your house being paid off? If so... Wow. That would be a huge relief.
-Also, How are you liking your new house and surroundings? Do you like the area and your ward?
-Oh and not to be annoying, but I am going private, so if you want to be able to check my blog leave me your email. My email address is haard2pleez@ yahoo dot com

Sorry so long. Talk to ya later.

Brandi Lyn said...

I will explain the fraud in my next post. It's a doozee!! :)

Heaven's no, the debt free does NOT include our house. Whoa that would be aweseome though! :)

We love our new house and love our surroundings. We have such amazing neighbors! We really like our ward too. It was a bit overwhelming at first but it's getting a lot better! :)

I'm so glad you've posted again! I've missed reading about your cute family adventures! That's exciting that you both got callings! I teach the 6-7 years olds in primary... it's SO fun! My kids are a bit crazy, but it's a good age! I remember having bunnies as a kid, they're so sweet! Fraud is never good... I'll be waiting to read more in that post! My mom just got me Twilight, but I haven't started to read it yet. From everyone else's posts, I feel like it's going to be a good book, and I should get off the computer and start reading it right now! I would LOVE to go to the park in your neighborhood sometime soon! Our life is pretty calm right now, so just let me know what day is good for you! And thanks, but YOU are so adorable!

6 year olds really aren't that difficult. Try 13 4 year olds. :) You'll love being in the primary and you'll be great.

Stacie said...

Congrats on everything good and sorry for the things that were frustrating! I'm anxious to see your next posts!

Ellie said...

I love primary! I'm glad y'all are both enjoying your callings!

Okay, so you mentioned the "magic eraser" and I have heard it's great. Have you ever tried it on soap scum?? I'm in need of something amazing!!! :) -L

Brianna said...

Okay, you're going to have to explain to me how fraud= debt free!!! We need some of that misfortune in our lives :D lol

Becca said...

it's been so long since I've read your blog! congrats on the cute house/furniture/bunny (we totally almost bought a bunny 2 weeks ago, then I chickened out). and oh my gosh - I'm a primary teacher, achievement days leader, ward music chairman, and ward choir director in my current ward. primary teacher is BY FAR the hardest calling I have ever had!! good luck!
