Scouting for Food

-
Today Roberto and I were able to go help with the Scouting for Food Drive. It was the first time that I had ever participated in such an event. It was amazing! I don't think I've ever handled that much food before. But to think that so many families from all over town had donated the food, I was grateful for charity. It was hard after a while moving so many heavy boxes full of food, but it was such a good cause that you wanted to push yourself even more. Wish I could've taken pictures, but there aren't any for me to share. Just imagine boxes and boxes full of canned goods and dry food and people loading and unloading them. I am grateful that there are such programs and that we were able to be a part of it. :)

Hola!

Hello there to all our family and friends. This is our first blog and we are excited to join all you bloggers out there! Since this is the first post, I thought I would just give a quick summary of our life right now. Roberto and I are currently in Rexburg, Idaho where we are both attending BYU-Idaho. This time of year we are off from school, so Roberto is working, doing landscaping and taking two night classes and I am looking for a job. We have been married for a little over a year and we are loving every moment together. Looking for a job in Rexburg has been tough (I've been looking since July), but in the mean time it has been a great opportunity for me to learn and grow from those around me. Recently I was able to find a temporary position for someone handing out flyers for their new website. Their paying me $50 bucks to do it! So I'm glad it's something. Other than that, I usually visit other people who are home all day, so if you want company, let me know! :) Roberto

Hey! It's been a while, I know. We have been super busy with school and I also got to that point where I felt like I don't have anything exciting to post about. But then I remembered-its a blog and I can post about WHATEVER I want! So here I go writing another post just because. So school is just about done! We are in the last week before finals and its CRUNCH TIME. I can't believe how much time has passed by. Roberto will be done with his GE requirements after this semester and next semester will be my last semester on campus! I have received my placement for Student Teaching this fall in Salt Lake City. Its so CRAZY how fast it all goes by, hopefully all will go as planned and I will be a college graduate in December! :) I will keep you all updated as time goes on. I am SO looking forward to the break after this semester is done. We will be leaving to go to Salt Lake to play with family!! I don't know what it is, maybe I'm just not used to being in such a small t

He knows what's best

I'm sure everyone has heard that God knows what's best for us, and that's why we don't always get what we want, when we want it, or even at all sometimes. These past three months I have learned this personally. IT IS TRUE! I was wanting a job so badly, applying everywhere and anything, and I was so sick of not having anything happen. But you know when something finally happened????? When I forgot about the whole deal, that's right, when I focused my mind on something else. During these past three months I truly learned that the key to forgetting about your problems, is focusing on other people. And now because of it, I know people so much better than I did before, and how much more important it is to me now to make those relationships. Anyway, today I got a phone call from the child and family resource center in Rexburg. I had had an interview a couple of weeks ago, and I had completely forgotten about them since they hadn't called since then. For those of you w
