Married Life :)

So Harley and I have been married about six months now and so far its been amazing! We were living in my parents house for a while, but we moved about a month ago thanks to this amazing job I've found. I work for Von Kids, and I run a day home out of a house that they are renting to us for super cheap each month, they also help with utilities, which is exactly what we need to be able to survive while Harley is at school in the fall. For now we are both working, which is great, it gives us a chance to save some money for his school, and pay off at least part of my student loan. We moved pretty much from one end of town to the other, and I really like it here, even though I don't really know where anything is yet. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually. We are really enjoying our ward here too! Everyone is so friendly, and easy to talk to. Harley and I even have callings already! I am a substitute youth sunday school teacher, and Harley is an usher. I even have had to already teach a lesson, which I did today. I taught the 13/14 year olds, and boy am I lucky there was no one like me when I was 14! It really wasn't that bad at all, I was sooo nervous, it was the the first lesson I've ever given in my life! I think it went pretty well to be quite honest. Also I have already been asked to give a talk, and its on Easter Sunday no less! Well I guess that's not too bad, I could have given a talk during someone's homecoming/farewell.

Speaking of which, this past month two of my friends have come home from their missions! I am SO excited!! Finally I have friends again! I would post pictures, but I forgot to get a picture with Zach today, so that will have to wait til I have a games night or something and they come. I'd really like to have like a dinner party or something, I think that would be super amazing fun. I'd make like 3 different kinds of chili and have a chili bar or something. YUM. But maybe that's just me.

Another exciting thing has happened this month, I found my birth mother! Thank goodness for social networking! In fact, we're even meeting in person when she comes to visit in July! I am so so so excited! I've already got about a million things planned. I seriously CANNOT wait! I've already found out so many things, about her and about how I came to be, and I can't wait to learn more! Its helped me so much to get to know myself and learn about family genetics and everything. Its so amazing, and I know I keep saying that, but I seriously just can't get enough of it!

That's all for now folks!
