Out with the old, in with the new

YAY!! I'm finally writing again!

So, where did I leave you hanging? Oh yeah, back in June we were in Rexburg and Roberto was  looking for an internship and we were thinking, what's going to happen? Luckily for us, in the beginning of July Roberto received a phone call, got an interview and just 2 days later, got the internship! :D

The fourth of July was great! We went to Rigby Lake with friends and FINALLY went  to Idaho Falls and saw their fireworks, it was worth it.

At the fireworks show!





Roberto graduated from BYU-Idaho on July 21st 2012. Both sides of the family were able to be there with us to celebrate this great accomplishment. I am incredibly happy for Roberto, he has come so far and still has so much potential.



Soon after graduation, we began packing our things for the move. At the same time, I was packing my bags for a trip of my own! I was headed to Dallas, Texas for my Mary Kay Seminar! I was gone for about 5 days and it was amazing! I was able to receive phenomenal training, motivation, inspiration and best of all have fun girlfriend time with my Mary Kay girlfriends! I am so glad that I went! Kudos to Roberto for being an amazing husband- he let me go and also took care of our precious boy while I was gone.

Well I came back from Seminar and 3 days later, we moved! Roberto was so good and packed most of the things while I was gone, again, I am forever grateful to have him.  We arrived at my parents place in West Valley, Utah and then about 2 weeks later, we moved again to our new place in Riverton, Utah!

Roberto has been working for about 3 weeks now and he LOVES it. He is an intern at the Riverton Office Building, which is the IT department for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We are crossing our fingers that he will be hired on. Samuel is 20 months old now and is talking more each day! He can now say- mas (more), si (yes), 'patos (short for zapatos which is shoes), mami (mommy), papi (daddy), agua (water), no, vaso (cup) and much more! I can't believe how much he has grown, he loves running around and is very social. I think I got lucky with my first, he's been pretty simple, so far.

This area seems to be pretty friendly, our ward has been very warm and welcoming. It has been sad to leave our Rexburg friends, but I am excited to make new friends and get well acquainted with this area. If you are in the Salt Lake area, let me know! :)

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

I really don't want to talk about this because I feel like a broken record. Some of you may already know about this struggle I am about to spill over about. Why am I writing this? I don't know for sure really. Maybe it's for me. Maybe it's for you. Well, here it goes. Why is the title of my post "2 years ago"? Well, that's because that's how long I've been waiting. That's how long I've been wanting. Yes, I want another child. Why hasn't it happened yet? I'm not sure. A LOT has happened in the past 2 years. My body has gone through A LOT just this past year alone (Addison's). I understand that. Kind of. But it still doesn't change how I feel about having another baby. This past weekend we had Stake Conference (it's a bigger church meeting) and at the Saturday evening session, a woman shared a story about her daughter, who had to wait 11 years to adopt her 2 children and have them sealed to her in the temple. She als
