Back Tracking

I've decided to do a little back tracking just so everyone can slowly catch up to what's going on in our lives. I could go all the way back to December when we got married,

however; I don't really feel like doing that.:) So I just decided to start with a mile

stone in Tyler's education. He received his associates this May and was able

to walk with his sister Niccole.

Geoff, Niccole, Tyler and I after they officially graduated!

We had the privilege to hear from President Thomas S. Monson for the ceremony. It was

such a blessing to actually hear him in person and be able to personally witness a true

prophet in action. I had never seen a prophet in person before. I swear the spirit that surrounded

him filled the whole room, little to say I was very touch by his presence and  the words he spoke.  He spoke a lot about attitude and how if we are constantly trying to

be positive happiness will follow. :)

Tyler's Family (Excluding Brooklyn and Curtis)

The whole weekend was filled with Curtis fun, and some Curtis fits.:) Tiffanie (Tyler's oldest sister)  

 and Trent (her husband) came down to support Tyler and Niccole. It meant a lot to

Tyler that his sister would come down and spend some time with us on his special day. That's

the great thing about family... You know they'll always be there for you!

Graduates and the parents

I love my husband and am so proud of him. He's such a hard worker and is constantly

helping me be a better person. Now that he has his associates he'll be working towards his bachelors at the U. After the dreadful MCAT and hours of volunteer work, homework and stress 

he'll finally be able to start med school. He's passionate about helping people and 

that's what he'll be able to do!  Just about everyday we say,

"ONLY 7 MORE YEARS!!"

Seven years of sacrificing and scrimping money sounds good to me. After all, in the long

run it will all be worth it! He'll get to help people and I'll be able to

enjoy his pay check. ;) We've already put together a family wish list. The list contains all

the fun toys and presents we want to give to our families someday! If you're

family and wondering what's on the list for you.. don't ask! It's a surprise:)

A Continual Growth

When Tyler and I first got married I'm pretty sure I thought I knew everything and I think there are many things that attributed to that:

1. I'm originally an Irvin. I don't think there is anyone in our family, except for my

mother, who doesn't think they know best.

2. I just happened to get my father's personality and we're both slowly learning how

to simply say  "I don't know" to questions we have no clue how to answer.

3. I simply thought I knew everything including, every answer to every question that was thrown at me.

Little to say I have been humbled extensively sense I've been married. I simply do not know everything and have learned that I don't want to know everything. Sense I've married my handsome husband I've

never been so happy and so frustrated.:) The exciting part is that

I AM BECOMING A BETTER PERSON!!

I am learning how to be patient, kind, sympathetic, supportive, and selfless.

I'm finally learning life is a gradual growth process.
It's ok not to know everything...most of the time:)
