Well about 2 weeks ago we purchased a new vehicle. Grandpa and Grandma Wonnacott moved into an active adult community (assisted living center) and were needing to start getting rid of some of their possessions that they will no longer be needing. One of the many things was their 2001 Ford F-150 pickup. Jared has driven that truck more than grandpa has most likely. Jared drove that truck while he lived with them last summer, and frequently borrowed it so he could come see me while we were dating. We looked at our finances and budget and decided that it would be a good investment, and something we could do. So we will be making payments for the next like 20 months on the truck. This way grandma and grandpa will be able to get a little bit of an income every month, and we get another vehicle. We also wont have to put it on our insurance until October, and wont have to register it until March.
This last weekend was a fabulous weekend for us. We went to St. George Friday and came home Saturday night. We helped move grandpa and grandma into their new place most of Friday afternoon. We met with Uncle Doug (Jared's uncle on his mom's side) and did a knife demonstration. Jared is still doing the job with Cutco, and doing fairly well with it. (I will try and get Jared to post sometime about how the job is going.) We then dropped off our things at Grandma and Grandpa Davenport's (Jared's mom's parent's) and let them know our plan for the night. We then went on a shopping spree to Kohl's and Bed Bath & Beyond. After shopping we went to Red Lobster for dinner. They have this great deal going on through the end of July, you get a 4 course meal for $15. It was so delicious. After dinner we went to the park that is really close to the St George Temple. We walked over to the gazebo/pavilion and talked. (Jared can be so romantic sometimes.) We walked through the park some more, then drove back to the grandparent's. Saturday we woke up and went to see if the Wonnacott's (not us obviously) needed anymore help moving, but everything was all done so we just visited. We then went to the temple, which was amazing as always. we love going to the temple together. After we got done at the temple, we hurried and changed then went to see Harry Potter after stopping to get some pizza from our stake. The movie was AWESOME! Overall it was a wonderful weekend.
This week has been a big week for Jared. It's push week with Cutco and so he is trying to get as many appointments as he can. There is a conference next Tuesday and Wednesday in Pocatello Idaho, and he will be gone overnight. We both aren't looking forward to our first night away from each other since we have been married. It's funny we spend over a year not sleeping with each other, and now we can't imagine not sleeping next to each other.
Next weekend we will be heading up to Salt Lake. I am looking forward to going "home" and being able to see my dogs again. I'm going through withdraws. Plus we will be going to an old friend of mine's wedding reception. He and his new wife both go to SUU and will be living here in Cedar. It will be nice to have some more married friends.
As for me, I am working 35+ hours a week at Maverik. I finally am able to make it to my church meetings. They had been making me work Sunday's 6-2, but now I will be working 4-10. I will still have to work Sunday's but I can make it to my meetings most if not every week. Every week I have Friday and Saturday off, so I get one full day to spend with Jared. I am going to start working out. I have unfortunately gained some weight and am going to work on slimming back down.
Basically, we are doing great and loving our life together.
