New things!

This past year has been one of great trial and some great experiences.  This past week seamed to end that all and give us a new look on life.  With a new baby (our first baby) Alex going to Belize, saying good bye to a dear loved one and Alex finishing his first few (4) degrees life seemed to be moving way to fast.   It was nice to take some time yesterday to go to Laramie so Alex could be interviewed for a scholarship.  While going we were jittery. This scholarship could help us with so many things. but once the interview was over. We felt fine. We know that by paying our tithing we were going to be ok. That whatever dose happen to us in the feature would be because the lord wanted it that way. I am Always one that likes to know what is going to happen before it dose. I don’t like jumping into things with my eyes closed. So the fact that I felt this way was insane. So whether or not we get this scholarship does not seem to worry me. Granted it would be nice, I now know we are going to be fine. I can’t wait to go to Laramie for good and see what other things the lord has planed. As Peter Pan loves to say “To live will be an awfully big adventure.”

just some of my photos!

I always enjoyed taking pictures.  It is my stress reliever!  I like to go some place quiet and just trap all the beautiful things our Heavenly Father gave us!  Not to mention I find photography interesting. So here are some of my pieces. I think it would be selfish to keep it to myself.

Laramie here we come!

Spring break was nothing to great.  a nice 4 and a half hour drive to Laramie, nice because William did not cry once.  what a big boy.  well we got to Laramie and my first thought was ohhhhh CRAAAP!  i was not looking forward to finding a place at all.  BUT! we started looking around and found tat there was allot more there then i thought.  and Alex and i decided that there are a few stores we are not allowed to enter until Christmas or birthday events. 

     After looking from apt to apt we Finlay found a good place. a nice sized two bedroom apartment with all utilities payed for! the lord was really watching out for us.  i cant wait to start packing but we still have some time so there is no hury. 

      I am still going to be sad to leave my Sheridan.  i will miss looking out the window and being able to see the big horns and the no wind. but i know its where the lord wants us to be.  I know that if i listen to his promptings my family will be okay and there will be blessings. so come May 27th Good by Sheridan and Hello Laramie!  it will be a great adventure.

Through sickness and in health

We are all aware of the dreadful epidemic that hit the US in 2009, the one and only H1N1 (or as my father likes to call it the big HINI)   at the time Alex and I still lived on campus, and with this illness going from student to student.   It was asked of us to let the housing office know if we had it so they had a count…. So we thought.   So one night Alex wakes up with a temp. and all the sighs of the big hini.   So I call the housing office the next day to let them know.  Shortly after I began to get ill and soon Alex and I were to worthless balls of sick.  So we call the housing office again to let them know. The response was insane!   They taped a sign on the door that read… “This house hold if infected with H1N1. Stay away at all cost.”  A count my bum! Well after about two weeks of icky sickly nasty Alex and I found the strength to go back to School and Work.

     After being treated as lepers it was nice to get back into the real world and not confined in our little apartment watching the fake “real world.”   And I love Alex soooo much but there is only so much sick man one can handle.   Is it just me ladies or do men act like it is the end of the world when they are sick! Anyhow, it was a wild ride and I would not do it again!

Laughs and ERRRR!

William is a very entertaining 6month old.  One of his favorite things to do is mimic sounds. I have a few out of the many examples to share with you. 
     One day while I was trying to finish my dinner, my mother was holding William and sitting next to my sister Mindy.  Well for everyone that does not know my sister she is a very active minded woman that constantly has ideas and things to say and sounds to perform. Well my sister started to fake laugh at William and William thought it was the best and began to gut bust laugh!  This went on for about 10 mins. Until it was real laughter and no one could stop.
     My next tall has to do with pirates and RRRRRRR. One day after church William started to ERRR at everyone that tried to talk to him.  Alex and I thought nothing of it and went on with our life. It wasn’t until Tuesday morning when Mindy and I figured it out.  Just out of curiosity we played a few pirate songs, such as “A pirate says R” from the backyard gens and “You r a pirate.” Whenever the pirate would say ERR so would William. I love my little pirate!
   He is a joy to have in my life and he makes me want to be better at everything I do.  He is the reason Alex gets through his busy days at school and his jobs. And he is the reason it is so easy to go to church every Sunday!  WILLIAM WE LOVE YOU!!!!

towel

Shortly after Alex and I were married we moved into a nice small apartment on campus, and in that oh so small apartment was a nice big bathroom. And on the wall write next to the shower were 2 hooks.   Well when I was done with my bathing ritual I would place my towel on a hook. It didn’t matter to me witch one it was, just as long as I had a place to put my towel.  Well after about a week I woke one morning to go take my shower. I turned to look at the towels and found that above each hook were pieces of tape and on the tap was written our names.  So I began to laugh, Alex came in to see what I thought was so funny. 

“I never knew it bothered you.”

“Well, it only makes sense that my towel be closer to the shower. I have to have it on the left hook.”

“That still makes no sense.”

“It just has to!”

So now I am able to put my towel on the right hook without tape. And I still have no idea why his has to be on the left hook.

Alex I love you

Hello bloging world!

Hello, I am not a blogger.  I am a stay at home mother that has nothing to do, and thought this would be a good way to spend time.  I love to share what is on my mind and the fact that I have some things to share. here is my store!   
      I meet my wonderful husband at a Church youth conference in the year 2000.  We had the opportunity to go to Martin's Cove  and rein act the martin hand cart company struggling to make it to Utah.   To make this seem more real we were split into family's. I  was blessed to be in the Green family. in this family was a boy about 13, his name? Alex. to make a long store short we spent time telling each other our life tales.  and enjoying the time we spent together.  and the rest is history....  really its a long complicated store and i don't want to tell you every aspect of our relationship.  maybe someday. just not today.  
     anyhow march of 2006 he proposed. October of 2007 he went to Germany to serve a mission the our Church. and march 7th 2009 we were sealed for all time and eternity in the Billings Montana temple.  we are very happy with our life together and we look forward to each and everyday. on September 8th 2010 our son William was brought into the world and our lives have not been the same since!  I am existed to share more stories and experiences as the years pass.

Yours Always Karlee J.
