Quick Update

Well life has been extremely busy the last couple of weeks. I can't believe March is over and it's getting very close to the middle of April. I have a pretty good feeling that summer is just going to fly by :( Well we've had some changes in our life that have been both exciting and a little crazy! Jonathon is still running his Tile company and it has picked up since the weather has gotten warmer, but Jonathon is always trying to do something that is going to help us to be able to save money and put money towards his business ventures. Our brother in law Chad mentioned to Jonathon a few weeks ago that he knew of a Gold Mining Company in Elko, NV. that was hiring. Chad had found out from a guy that both him and Jonathon worked with in Ticaboo. Jonathon called the boss guy and the guy told him to drive down and meet him the next day. In the mining world you drive to wherever the job is... In this case 3 1/2 hours away.. then meet with the boss for maybe 15 mins, and drive back home. Then the boss guy calls at 8:00 pm. the next day and says be here tomorrow. You don't have a lot of time to get stuff together, or even get a plan going. It all happened very quickly and before we knew it Jonathon was down in Elko working for the Small Mining Division. It is a gold mine.. so everything has been new to Jonathon. He works a full week, 12 hour shifts and then gets to come home for a full week. He is in Elko for his second week of work right now and will be home on Tuesday night. It's been very different for all of us, because he's never been away from us for more than a weekend. But we know that will the kind of money you can make working as a miner, we will be able to save money and then Jonathon will also have the money he wants to start all of the businesses he wants to. Chad also got a job down there, but they are on different crews so when Chad's home Jonathon is gone. I feel blessed that oppurtunites come up for us that we can take advantage of even if it will just be something temporary. We do miss him lots when he is gone... But the weeks he is here we get him all to ourselves! He also still has time to do what he needs to with the Tile.

Me and Alexis are doing great! Life is busy, but we have so much fun together.. and I love my little girl so much!

My parents came up this weekend, and it was great to see them. Chad and Kelly officially have moved into the house they built in Provo and it is nice having them so close! Life is great.. and we have been truly blessed. We are still trying for a baby... but know it is in God's hands :) Alexis still prays every night for a baby. She walked up to me one day and said "Mom, our baby went up to heaven... but we have to keep praying for a new baby." She is such a sweet little girl, and when the day comes that we do have another baby.. she will be an excellent big sister!
