It's (finally) Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

It's true. Yesterday was the first day that I've been able to put up our Christmas decorations. I have been dying to put them up, but life has been way too busy! We've had finals, a living room full of boxes, and preparing the Nelson house for everyone to move in. Thankfully, everything's coming together very nicely. We're hoping to get our very first Christmas tree on Wednesday!! I'm really excited!


A few ornaments that we had at our wedding reception.





Here are some of the things Jonathan and I have found as we've been going through his boxes.


There's my cute husband during a cross country meet.
Here's Jonathan looking adorable!
This was in Jonathan's room when he was a boy.
A Star Trek card I found about an episode we just recently saw.

Wake Up Call

There are times in life where goals, though important, are placed on the back burner because there are other more pressing things to take care of. In time, life changes so slowly that those goals just stay in the background. Well, I walked right into that trap. Thankfully, we got a wake up call earlier this month. While nothing is changing directly, those goals that were quietly simmering are now remembered and we now can give them the attention they deserve. I don't know how things will turn out, but I know we are heading on the right track.

Whenever I workout, I listen to General Conference talks. I listen to them a few times so I can focus on the message in each talk and how it applies to me. I am currently listening to the talks from the October 2010 General Conference. I can see that these men were aware of the way the world was going before it happened. Earlier this week I was listening to the talk given by Bishop Richard C. Edgley . It is powerful and I wanted to share part of it. "When the disciples asked Jesus why they could not cast a devil out as they had just witnessed the Savior do, Jesus answered, 'If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove' ( Matthew 17:20 ). I have never witnessed the removal of an actual mountain. But because of faith I have seen a mountain of doubt and despair removed and replaced with hope and optimism. Because of faith I have personally witnessed a mountain of sin replaced with ...

Quiet

I know I've been pretty quiet here for the past month or so, but some crazy things happened this month and it took awhile to wrap my head around them. Jonathan was doing really well with his job at IBM and suddenly found out that they weren't able to approve the funding for his contract to continue past the 31st of January. We were stunned and unsure what was going to happen next. Jonathan quickly got his resume posted and called a few headhunters that had called him after he started working with IBM. He had a job interview the same week for an android developing job. It was kind of a weird job because they would train him and then find contracts for him for the next two years. We would be nomadic and so he kept looking while keeping this as our plan B if nothing else turned up. I snuck a photo of him during his interview. We weren't sure how things were going to work out, but we knew that they would. About a week or so later, he was contacted by Home Depot. They a...
