We “saddled up” saturday morning and headed back to RV on the way home. The trip was very smooth, and we got home muy fast. At home we enjoyed the evening with the family and even went out and saw my Grandma’s new house. The next morning before we headed home we went out and met Jigsaw, the families’ new colt. A 20,000 horse my dad said… It’ll end up costing them 20,000 before it’s all over.

we’re on our way to celebrate our first thanksgiving together. Almost knowing each other a year has us talking about many things, one of them being the fact that we are starting traditions that we will carry on with our fmaily in the future. The “baby candle” episdoe looms and brings much insight to the decisions that we are making. As we drive up 191 toward Moab right now i figured i’d take the chance to post this now that we are out of reservation land with no data service. Yesterday was very crazy and had me running around like a mad man. Amidst all that i found myself in the office of my academic advisor to find out if the goal of finishing my bachelors degree in a year is concievable. After 2 hours we deduced that in fact it would be if i would dedicate myself to it. Right after getting back i signed on our new apartment (pics coming i’m sure), and ran home to pack. Amanda met me there and we got packed, talked to my bro for a bit, and then headed up to RV. the trip was smooth and we had a great time just talking to my fam (and marcy, the new cat). We had breakfast at Booga’s and headed on our way. 5 hours into the trip today and we’re in the middle of the Utah goodness. Beautiful this time of year. Anywho life is good and I think we are ever so thankful for the lives that we have. Got a one year plan now… Bring on the turkey.

So today Wes and I got the news that he didn’t get the job at TEP. That was a sad moment in our day. We both wanted it so bad, to move out of the city, and start working on our family. We were very disappointed that he didn’t get the job… but now that we had our answer, our sandy future now had somewhat of a foundation. We are able make life decisions, and that is a great feeling! So when I got home from work we sat down and made some goals for the next year. We made some great goals individually and as a couple. With the recent events of learning that we need to have children sooner than later, that was one of the topics/goals that was discussed. It is a very scary, stressful, and amazing topic to discuss, espically because we have only been married for almost 6 months now. As we started to discuss this topic of when to start trying to start our family Wes got quiet and let me do most of the talking. He is very fidgety at times, and extremely fidgety at this moment. As the conversation went on he started to pick at the candle we have on our dining room table. The more we discussed, the more he picked at it, eventually ending up with one side broken down, and all the little pieces inside. It is now the “baby candle”, and I am sure he will continue this process until the candle is pretty much gone, and maybe even start on another one:) Although this is a stressful time as we plan to start our family, we are very excited to have a solid future, for at least another year… And then who knows…
