Otter Pops

Otter Pops

Red are the best, hands down. But eventually, all the red ones are gone.

Orange comes second. Sometimes a little too much orange but they'll work in a pinch.

Next comes green. Every now and then, green gets to go in front of red.

Purple. Doesn't usually hit the spot but that's okay.

Yellow. A little weird, but I'm weird.

Blue. Last resort, every time.

This is how I eat my Otter Pops,
just in case anyone wondered.
I hope you are all enlightened.

One May Go A Long Way After One Is Tired

Let's just face it. The month of May was horrible! We had no money, we knew that rent for June would be late, and there just seemed to be no end in sight. But now, only weeks later, everything has worked out, or is heading that way. Things only continue to get better. While I am incredibly overwhelmed right now, for several reasons, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's coming up fast. July will be here before you know it, and I can't wait! We have some amazing things planned for the upcoming months and I can't wait to share all of our journeys with you guys.

On another note, Jayson loves his new job! He is working at Inovar, a company here in Logan and he is testing computer boards/components for military projects such as the spy planes. Inovar does many things; they make house arrest bracelets, general computer boards for regular computers, and many more projects. Jayson right now is testing the computer components for the military spy planes. He said he sometimes get sick of sitting all day but it's definitely better than standing all day! The hours are better too. At his old job, he was working 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the weekends. I was starting to worry we wouldn't be able to do anything this summer, like fireworks and such because he would be at work at nights. But now, he is working 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is great because we have the nights off together and we won't have to worry about parties at night in July. Oh the simple things in life. :)

Jayson and I have never been happier than we are right now, even if there are still bumps in the road. But isn't that the key to everything? Continuing to smile when you would rather cry? There were many times I did cry, and many times I wanted to give up over the last couple months but, now, with everything that has changed this past week, I'm SO glad we didn't quit, even for a minute. Thanks to all my friends and family who supported us through one of our worst times. And especially thanks to Jayson for keeping me smiling when I would have much rather cried. I love you Jayson. ♥

Long Couple of Weeks

So Jayson hasn't been able to work for almost 5 weeks now. We depleted what little amount we had in savings, was unable to pay our rent, we are down to one car, and have almost no food. Needless to say, it has been a very long couple weeks. While I had faith that is was all going to work out in the long run, I just didn't know how much longer I could keep running. It has been very scary because every job that Jayson has applied for, we never heard anything about it. Cache Valley is still in a slump as far as employment goes and this "lay-off" came at the absolute worst time (but when is it ever a good time to get laid off, right?).

Finally, after much praying, crying, worrying, and sometimes even arguing with Jayson, our luck is finally starting to turn around. Thanks to a wonderful friend I went to school with, Jayson starts a new job tomorrow. It's at a company called Inovar and he will be testing the unarmed aircraft vehicles (like spy-crafts, etc) that the military uses to make sure they are up to code and ready to go. Jayson is pretty excited about starting a new job, one with a reputation of never laying anyone off, even when the economy was at it's worst. I couldn't be happier; Jayson will be working again, we will be able to pay our bills, and Jayson is actually really excited to start working with this company. We are finally going to get back on our feet and everything will work out, just like always. Even though I cried a LOT over the last couple weeks, I am stronger than I thought I would be. I managed to remain positive most of the time and I'm just glad it is all working out. Now, if we could only sell that truck...oh, that's too much to ask for in one day :)
