Telethon

Jaren and I got the opportunity yesterday to volunteer at the Primary Children's Medical Center Telethon. It was such a great experience. We were able to answer phones on their live television broadcast. We were able to see some of the children they treat and hear some of their great stories. Also we got to hear from so many great people who were willing to donate their money to help those who are unable to afford the medical care that their children need. They were able to raise over 2 million dollars. We were there for 3 hours, but it seemed like much shorter. It was a great experience that we will remember for a long time.

Lame...

So...I am sitting here at work, pondering the deeper meanings of life... Ok maybe a little more wishing for 5:30 than pondering. And I realized that for the May has come and went and neither Jaren nor I remembered to celebrate the 3rd anniversary or our very first date. Now I know this sounds lame, but we have done something each of the past two years. And it makes me sad to think not only did we not do anything, but we totally forgot. I think we have officially become lame married people, which is definately something I don't want to be...so I guess I will go wish my cute husband a belated happy 3rd anniversary.

Nothing much...

I have been so bad about updating this blog...I feel like our life isn't exciting enough or that there is nothing to really write about. But I have decided that I need to just do this for me... We have been working hard these last couple of months. We unfortunately we had a miscarriage in January. This has been something that has brought the two of us so much closer. It is our challenges that define us, and bind us together. I have learned to love Jaren even more than ever, and I have been taught once again about the Lord's tender mercies.

We have been hard at work on our house...we are currently working on finishing the family room in our basement, by ourselves (well with my brother-in-law's help.) It has been challenging, but a great experience because we appreciate it so much more doing it ourselves. We are also working on making our yard more aesthetically pleasing...right now there is only grass so there is lots of work to be done.

One of our big achievements was we participated in the first annual HeritageWest CU bike tour, benefiting the We Promise foundation. We didn't make it to the end of the route, but we made it 24 of the 33 miles. I am pretty impressed with us. The route passed by all the branches in Tooele Valley, starting at the Tooele dam, riding down to Grantsville, up to Stansbury and back to Tooele. I am proud of us being able to make it those 24 miles. Plus it has inspired us in our new diet endeavors. Jaren and I are both trying to get in better shape and be more healthy, expecially after Jaren's little health spill in April.

Well I guess that is enough for now. Hopefully this will become a more regular occurence...we will see.
