Well hello again!

Long time no see huh? Pretty much a lot has happened since I have last posted and I'm here now to catch ya'll up before I forget everything! Well spring semester came and went, I finished with good grades and Tyson finished up his full time position for the semester as well. He enjoyed it so much, and talks about how he misses it sometimes. He really is one of the hardest workers I have ever met. He goes above and beyond with anything he is given and everyone around him can see that. He got nothing but compliments the whole time he had that full time position. Watching him work, and go to meetings kind of gives me a glimpse of what his work life is going to be like here in two years. Can I just say that I got lucky with this one? I couldn't imagine life with anyone else!

After school was out, we were finally able to play in the wonderful summer weather! After work, most (if not all) of our afternoons and weekends consisted of going to rigby lake, eating Karie Anne's, going on walks, and hanging out with friends. Then we FINALLY got to go to Florida and visit my family for two weeks! Literally the best two weeks of the summer. I hadn't seen my family since thanksgiving and I was as anxious as ever to get there and see them.

The main reason we went to Florida was to see my little sister get baptized. As I helped my mom get my sister ready, I couldn't believe she is already 8 years old. It literally felt like she was born the month before. She is growing up way to fast. But in those 8 years that I have known her we have grown to be super close. I love talking to her on the phone and listening to her tell the most outrageous but hilarious stories, and hearing what she is learning in school. I love that she has a part of me in her. She has become sarcastic and funny, and she is starting to get sassy, and I LOVE it! I love being a part of her life, and I look forward to seeing how she grows and see what the future has in store for her.



Besides Kenna's birthday and baptism we did a lot of beach hopping, and a lot of swimming in my parents new pool. We literally went swimming everyday twice (sometimes even three) times a day. Tyson and I would swim after breakfast, then we would get out shower and do whatever it is we had planned for that day, and come home and swim with Kenna after she got home from school, and then we may have went swimming/ hot tubbing with my family after dinner. I guess you could say we were a tad obsessed with it! Oh, and Thor dog loved it too! He didn't get to the point of jumping in by himself just yet, but he loved sitting on our laps on the steps so he could cool off in the water. Maybe when we go back for christmas we can get him to jump in.



We of course had to hit up a Rays game while we were down. It was so fun, and I am glad I got Ty into baseball(especially the rays) because it's something I really enjoy doing! Speaking of baseball, Kenna started playing softball (she's keeping up the tradition of all the kids playing baseball/softball). She is the cutest little ball player and it was funny watching all the little girls playing out on the field. Besides swimming, beaching, and ball games it was so nice to just be home with my family. I love how goofy they are and how there is never a dull moment with them. I love the adventures Ty , my dad and I go on(I'm sure you all read my status about the apple tv) and I love being able to talk with my mom face to face and not just over skype. But sadly, all the fun in the sun had to come to an end so Ty and I could get back to reality. But we will be back for christmas and hopefully my parents can make it out here during spring break or in the summer!

Fall semester has now started and Ty and I are both in school. It's been a little bit of a tough semester for me so far, but I am loving my classes and so is Tyson. I have two more semesters left and Tyson  has about four. I seriously cannot wait till we are able to be done with school and move out of Rexburg. We are both still working our same jobs on campus and still loving it. Although I did switch positions in the book store. I am no longer a cashier, I work on the floor now. I work in the trade book area/ gift area and I love it! Tyson and our friends have started up another soccer team for the semester and their first game is tonight! Thor dog and I will be cheerleaders under a couple blankets to keep warm while we watch from the sidelines!

Well my friends, that is all of the updates we have for now. We'll keep ya posted on anything new that comes up in out lives!

Love, Jess and Ty
