House For Sale!

Anybody, anybody! Well, our house needs to go... so we can go to Colorado! We will probably will be leaving in May but now there is a possibility of going next month in December! So...spread the word if you know of anyone that is looking. It is 3 bed, 2 1/2 bath, has a huge community pool, kid pool, hot tub, playground etc. Here are some pics. If anyone has more questions let me know! We are also thinking of renting if we can't sell in time.

Thanksgiving!

Britt, thanks for tagging me to list 10 things I am thankful for. I am so blessed and thankful for so many things but with the chaos of life sometimes it is hard to stop and think of all the blessings. There are too many to list but here goes...

My Savior! The Saviors atonement for each one of us is such a blessing. I feel so blessed to be forgiven and to have his Spirit.

My husband! Porter is such a great husband. He is so positive about everything and helps be realize how important it is to relax sometime. He has such a fun loving sense of humor. I am lucky to be with him forever!

My Family! Both sides of our families are sooooo supportive. We have some much fun with family and we know we could call on anyone of them for help whenever. Then again, we never have to call if we need something, I swear my sister and Mom know me so well that they just seem to know to call me when I am having a bad day or something. Family is priceless.

Church! Everything taught through the church makes life so much easier. Prayer is such a comfort. I am also so grateful for the promptings of the Holy Ghost. The scriptures help us so much. And ultimately, I feel so lucky to know who I am and why I am here and what I goal I am working to achieve in this life. I can't imagine feeling lost in this crazy world.

Work! We are both been so blessed with great jobs and have been helped by family to find some of those jobs. This is so comforting.

Schooling! I am so blessed to get to study at ASU and now so blessed for the opportunities each day to learn more and grow. Porter is also able to go to school.

HEALTH! This is huge! We are so blessed to have good health. I look up to those good friends and family who have ailments and fight through them with such strength that I can't even comprehend.

Food, Clothing, and Shelter! Sometimes this blessing goes unnoticed to me but it is definitely something many go without. We are so grateful for all that we have!

Temple Blessings! The Temple is a beautiful blessing. We love to go feel the Spirit there and are so grateful we are lucky enough to be raised up in this church and be sealed in the Tempe for time and all eternity!

Love! I am so grateful for LOVE. Many in this world don't feel loved but we are blessed with love from family, friends and each other!

UPDATE!

Well, Porter SIGNED with the Adams State Grizzlies. We hope all will work out! YEAH! GOOOOO GRIZZLIES!!!!!!!!! (and I get to cheer again :)

Our trip to Alamosa. GO GRIZZLIES!

So, the trip was a lot of fun. We really liked the feel of the small town and school. It reminded us of Snowflake! We would be there in a minute I think if it wern't for the house. Yikes! Too bad the market is so bad right now. Anyway, the coaches showed us around for 2 days and they put Porter through quite the workout. He was about to die. I thought he was in pretty good shape but it is the second highest elevated gym in the nation at 7,500 feet and he sure was feeling it! He did really well though. Anyway, they offered him a good scholarship and now the coach is giving us a few days to decide! We really like the town, people, school, and the coaches are awesome but there are just so many other factors to think about too! Whether we are ready or not we will be making a decision in the next few days. STRESS!!! I guess we are just so lucky to have opportunities to choose from. (Thanks again Aaron for putting the bug in Coach Murdock's ear. And according to Coach Murdock you should be in the NBA right now!)

Excited but unsure! Basketball??

Thanks to our Bro.-in-Law Aaron, putting a good word in for Porter with one of his old B-ball coaches, who is now coaching in Colorado, Porter may have a chance to play college ball yet! We thought that chances were over for him, being out of high school for four and a half years now but I guess you never know what life can throw at you! He thought of playing at NAU but with us getting married and me being at ASU he passed up the opportunity, and now it is back and we just don't know what to do. The recruiting coach came here and watched Porter play in a church with some guys from the ward and they want to sign him! I bet they never thought they would be recruiting from a church ball game. haha. Anyway, we are flying up to Colorado next week to have the coach show us around and to check it out. It is a smaller school, 2 division, in Alamosa Colorado. We hear it is freeeeezing there but pretty. We will post how the big visit went. We are just having faith that whatever will be best for us happens. Who would have thought!!!

Picnic & B-ball

Well, we havn't done anything too exciting lately. We did get to go to the park with Britt, Aaron and Bryn, I had to post this picture. The sunset was beautiful! We are loving the cooler weather.
Brynlie! Yeee Haaa!
We also got to go watch Misti's first Ball tournament of the season this weekend. She did really well. It was fun to see family!
