Our LIFE

I am not going to lie, I have had NO desire to update my blog the past few weeks and that is really not like me...

We are still playing the waiting game, Matt is on the waiting list at 3 out of the 4 schools he applied for--the other he didn't get into.

Matt and I are both kind of feeling a little bit at a loss of what to do right now. Matt has been trying to get a more permanent job incase he doesn't get into school, but so far that isn't happening.

I have been trying to get pregnant basically since Colton was born, and that isn't happening either :(

Anyway, after leaving Germany early (which still breaks my heart when I think about it) we have had kind of a hard time deciding what is best for us and getting back into Reality...

So, I think it is these times in life that we have to take a step back and realize all of the things that we are thankful for and all of the things that ARE going our way :) We had a wonderful family to come home to and let us stay with them until we figure things out, we have the sweetest little boy who makes our world go 'round, and we have the gospel and lots of time to study it :)

We also would have missed out on all of this.... (if we were still in Germany)

Not the wedding!!! Just the wedding plans..showers...pictures...

Carli and Tyson had their wedding pictures taken a couple of days ago...this is just one off of my mom's camera-- the wedding is in less than 3 weeks!



Carli's cute sisters on the left and a friend on the right at Carli's shower



Carli and her mom



Matt and I took Colton to a petting zoo because Colton LOVES animals!



Just wishing he could be in there



We love this little man...

Also---A couple of weeks ago we took a trip up to Idaho to see the blessing of the newest addition to the Stucki family, Rhev. I stole this picture off of my sister-in-laws blog but isn't he the cutest?? Now we have 4 grandBOYS and no girls!

Colton also got to go on his first 4-Wheeler ride with Grandpa!

And of course, the trip to Idaho consisted of a shower for Carli :) Look at this cute table my mom decorated!

Carli and her gifts :)

This way cute apron my mom got for Carli! We are so excited to have another girl in the family!!
and we love Carli SOo much!

Me :) I know this is pathetic, but Carli taught me how to curl my hair :) Wow, it took me this long-- I know!

Well- that's about it :)

I love MY boys :)

The waiting game

I feel like this is what we have been doing since we got back to America...

Waiting to find out about Matt's law school applications...

Waiting to find out about insurance...

Waiting to hear back from jobs...

We have had one notice about law school from BYU, that he got on the waiting list (haha) More waiting :)

The insurance was a dilemma, first of all, American Insurance doesn't consider any other countries insurance valid (so basically it is as if I have not had insurance for a year), second of all we went to get on insurance and because I have had endometriosis before I got pregnant, they considered it a "pre-existing condition" and told me I would most likely be denied coverage. So for 2 weeks I have been waiting to hear back, a little paranoid because I REALLy want to get pregnant again, and I just found out yesterday that I got approved!! Now-- this doesn't even mean that they will cover me for pregnancy, it basically means that when we get on school insurance, it won't be considered a pre-existing condition because I have been on insurance up until I get on that insurance...REALLY?
I know everyone is having a hard time with OBAMA's Health Reform, HOWEVER, I really think he is doing it to help people out, I sure know it would help me out :)

And lastly, we both got jobs!! Working at The Factory, coaching basketball, refereeing, and working at camps. We'll see how it goes... Matt will mainly be working, but a lot of times they need girls to work at the camps too :)

Now onto better things...

EASTER!

We had an awesome Easter. It was so nice to spend the day with family listening to the leaders of our Church speak to us :) It was probably the best way to feel the true meaning of Easter.

However, we did have some fun too...

Colton LOVES to give Kisses...to everyone

Tyson and Carli...

And we can't forget Colton getting his Easter basket...






TCHUSSI (Chew-see) My favorite German word: SEE YA!
