New Years Resolutions meets the first week of school!!

Well, the first few weeks of the New Year have come and gone. Like most couples Brian and I committed to living better. Reading our scriptures together everyday, morning and nightly prayers, family home evening, being on time to church, working out six times a week, eating better, not ditching school, you know, the usual new years resolutions. So far, we’re a hundred percent. Since not many people actually read this blog I figured we could use the space not only as a journal, but also as a space to share our testimonies to our families. Because we’ve made it a goal to pray together and read our scriptures everyday the spirit has been strong in our home. As our relationship with God has been strengthened our relationship as a couple has grown. Brian and I are definitely nervous for the future. We’ve been going to school our whole lives and in a matter of months we’ll be thrown into the real world. Brian is majoring in Economics with a minor in Finance. His plan is to work for a few years, gain experience and then continue on with his MBA. His career choices are unlimited which makes it hard to narrow down where exactly we should start looking for a job. We definitely have faith that God has a plan for us. While things seem scary now we know that if we continue growing together in the gospel, keeping the commandments and living with faith that things will turn out for us. Those who keep the commandments will prosper in the land.


Okay, change of subject. The picture above is of Brian in our living room with the couch bed pulled out. Let me explain. This Saturday, because neither of us has jobs and school just started, we ended up watching the whole first season of Bones. It was so fun, I can’t even tell you! Now, some of you might be saying, “You guys are lazy, get up and be productive!” No. We like being lazy. In fact, we love being lazy. In a few years from now we’ll look back and remember the day we hunkered on the couch for 20 straight hours and we will laugh and joke with each other about how good we had it!! So while you might think we were being lazy, we think we were spending good quality time together. Don’t tell me that if you didn’t have a job or responsibilities, lying on the couch with your best friend watching a cool TV series all day long would not sound appealing? Thought so! Well, until next time. Take care!
