Woo Woo!

 Kelly got all A's on his finals AND got accepted officially into the Medical Lab Science program!

It is getting harder and harder to remember that everyone my age is at different stages, some buy homes and have kids and others wait a bit longer for those things; I just keep telling myself to enjoy the here and now and all of that will be here before I know it.

I am still liking my job, Kelly found a summer job, and the only thing new with us really is we chose an adoption process. We can tell there are some people that are a little bit iffy with our choice to adopt, but we think the excitement that we feel will soon spread to our family and friends. We have thought about adopting for a few years now, and we are slowly starting the process, we wont be able to hit it head on for another year (after school), but its fun to do any part of the process just so it feels like something will eventually happen. So watch out for more news on that as I will be excited to share the whole story. For right now, I feel like we have made a fairly stable choice to adopt from Taiwan.

In just a month, my sister Jesica will be getting married! Also last week, my brother Jacob turned 18!!! I cannot believe he is that old and graduating from High School this month. My brother Hyrum just hit the 6 foot mark on his height...and he is only 12. And its good to have my brother Bud so close and I am glad things are going well for him here!

On Kelly's side of the family things are pretty exciting too: they sold all the cows, Megan is pregnant and I get to be a first time Aunt, and Kelly's parents are going to Hawaii in a few weeks!

I just want to say that I have the most perfect husband, he is so supportive of my needs, and I want to thanks him for being so great even when I am not deserving of it! Love you so much Kelly!

When each day is said and done, I go to bed quite content with life and where I am at. Counting your blessings really does work!

Weekend Getaway

For Kelly's birthday he wanted to do some hiking, so we got him some better hiking boots from Cabella's and decided to go to Moab the weekend after. Kelly had never been there, so we were excited!

Friday night we went and saw Hunger Games in theaters, it was really fun and we enjoyed the movie having read all the books.

We got up early on Saturday and headed out. We decided to drive through Ephraim and do a little "awwww"ing at the place we first met. I am glad we did because the canyon up that way to get to Moab was gorgeous!

We went to Goblin first, we had a blast, we were like two kids on a playground; climbing on rocks and then shouting "look at me!" We hiked up some places that were slightly difficult to get up and VERY difficult to get down, but it was so much fun there. And the weather was the perfect temperature. After a few hours of hiking we headed to Moab. In our minds, Moab was a great city we could not wait to see, so we giggled a bit as we drove through the hippy lil town. We got some food and checked into our hotel.

The next day we got up early again and went to Arches National Park. I had forgotten how big the park was. We were really humbled by the beauty we saw, so breathtaking! We some of the short trails and then of course the Delicate Arch. Its cool to meet people hiking there, from all parts of the world, which made us laugh that it was Kelly's first time there. The weather was beautiful and we stayed up there for quite a while.

We got in the car and decided to drive to Grand Junction, CO. Kelly will be looking for jobs in a year from now, and we are trying to get as many options in the four corners area as we can that we would like to live as jobs in Utah fill up quickly. We liked the city and the valley there, and we stopped and ate some lunch. We drove home Price way this time, I read "The Maze Runner" aloud to Kelly for entertainment (very good book by the way). As we approached the opening coming to the Provo area, I scream in horror, then we laughed when we saw what I was scared by. Those windmills! At first I could only see a part of them slicing around the mountain, and I had no idea they were there. haha. They looked pretty cool as we drove by them though. Kelly thought it funny to sing "I am Lord Don Quixote the man from La Mancha" and those of you who know the story can see the humor in this.

We got home happy to see our little Moose, and it was so good of Bud to take care of him for us!

VERY FUN WEEKEND! And we cannot wait to go back!

Good News!

I got a new job! The Rupp Family breathes a sigh of relief. I was somewhat quiet about it, but I put my two week notice in a couple weeks ago, things at work were getting bad and I hurt my back with all the lifting. It was kinda a scary chance to take, but I felt good about it. I spent one week with the flu and two weeks non stop job searching.

I am working at Westside Medical as a receptionist in Clinton.

I appreciate my last job because the medical paperwork experience I got with it helped me get this job. But the change from that job to this is so nice. I went from wearing a manly outfit to scrubs, lifting heavy oxygen tanks to paperwork, from working outside to inside, grumpy co-workers to friendly, and delivering tasty food to doctors offices to receiving it! The job itself is nothing exciting, but I welcome that! I work 12-8pm, which I am looking forward to.

Bud got a job here in Ogden managing the Jamba Juice, and so he moved in with Kelly and I temporarily. For those of you who have been to my apartment would know we are very squished right now, but we have worked out a system and have had fun having him here!

I have two family members engaged and that means I get to make wedding plans and help out, I love it and am happy for the both of them!
