Custom Made For The Miles'

Well we certainly are blessed. Erik has been looking for a new job for quite some time now and we have been praying that the right opportunity would come along. Over the past year or so we have thought about how cool it would be if we could work together, but we never thought that would happen.

So Erik starts tomorrow morning at Alta Trust Company, which is the sister company of Compass Investment Partners where I work. We will be working together--quite literally--and I am so excited about it. Erik will be doing trust accounting, systems management and probably some IT stuff too. I'm not too clear on exactly what he'll be doing-- but I know it will be awesome!

It just goes to show you how much the Lord blesses us when we put our lives in His hands. Heavenly Father knows the desires of our hearts and when we are obedient He gives us what we need. It is so cool to know that we can get what we want too, not just what we need, when it is in accordance with His will. And when it is in accordance with His will, it is so cool to know that His plan and our plans line up--I know this is a lot of mumbo jumbo but it makes sense in my head.

I am so happy that everything is working out. I know there will be times when things aren't going as smoothly, but I promise to always remember that I am exceedingly blessed and that the Lord wants me and my family to be happy.

And now I get to have a sexy co-worker!!!! (No offense to any other co-workers).

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Escrow

Well we found the perfect house for us on Thursday! We put the offer on today and they accepted! We expect to close the third week of March! I knew it was the right one as soon as I walked in the door. The picture below shows half the house, you can't see the whole thing on Google Earth because of the trees. It's been updated really well, but it has a few things we can still do to get more value out of it when we sell it in a few years. It's totally cute on the inside, just under 2000 square feet and has a great yard and deck. It came with some nice perks too, so we're really excited. I'll have a nice big housewarming party so you can all see it in April once we're settled in! Yay! Ok so the sad part is, we won't be in the Dash Point Ward anymore. :( We'll be in the Federal Way ward so we're still in the stake at least. It's really sad because I totally love our ward, it's awesome and I love my calling with the Young Women but at least I w...
