finding time to play

Ever since Blake and I got the job at Varsity it's been pretty tough to try and work out schedules and events at night. We have to have at least two hours to clean the building, and it makes having a social life and fulfilling your calling pretty tough. Anyway, we were able to get away for the weekend to Star Valley, and it was sooooo nice to be able to just relax for a couple of days. We golfed, swam, played games with my family, and had some very yummy food ;- ). We also bought a car before we left so that Blake wouldn't freeze on his bike during the winter. We bought it from Robert Allen, and it wasn't the best deal cause they went back on their word on a couple of things, but you live and learn (yeah, learn never to go there again!). Anyway, it's a little 2003 Ford Focus that will get Blake from here to there, and it also has a couple of features that we liked. Anyway, that's been our busy life in a nutshell. Hopefully we will be able to do some more golfing on Saturday here in Poky. Oh! And congrats to Katie, Dean, and Tyler for the new boy addition to their family!!!! Uh-Oh Katie! You're getting a little outnumbered here! ;- )

Fun Times

So this last couple of weeks has been nothing but work for me and especially Blake. We decided to clean a building for Varsity, but I don't really like it. It's weird having a job that I have to work past five for. Not to mention it has to be done Monday thru Friday every night, so it just takes over everything we can do. Blake has applied to a couple of different jobs during the few hours he has off a week, so I guess we'll see what comes of that. Despite all the work we do we have had time to hang out with some family and friends. We had a really fun time with Suttons on Saturday (once Blake was off of work), and yesterday was nice to be able to go to church and not worry about going to a job (that's the only day that Blake has completely off, poor guy!) Anyway, that's about all that goes on in our life, but we love it and love the married life.
