A quick update

So just a very quick update, My Sister got married 2 weeks ago and well she is a very lucky girl. She has a great husband and I'm so excited for her. I will post some pictures later!
WE ARE MOVING! We couldn't let Carol and Joe have all the fun so we decided to join them. When we moved into the house that we are in now, we got a bigger house because Ally (Corey cousin) was living with us and begged us that we would find a place so that she could stay with us and not have to move into student housing. We did but she did have to help pay the rent. Well now she is getting married next month and so we need hand to find something that we could afford. We have we found a great basement apartment that has all of our utilities paid and it is still cheaper than what we had before. We are happy because it still has 3 bedrooms just only 1 bath but that is just fine. We will still have a place for Grandma Carol and Grandpa Joe to sleep and stay when they come to our to see Derek. Lucky for them and us this gets to happen a lot more often than once every 6 months. We will be moving closer to my work and family. Luckily Corey will still be close enough to Springville to keep his second job, He really likes Pizza Hut (granted he would rather not have to work there at all, and so would I) but his boss pretty much lets him do what ever he wants and gets whatever shifts he wants so we can't complain to much. Well I better stop and get going because we still have lots of packing to do.

Good Morning Winter

This is what it looked like this morning. I feel so bad for Corey this morning as he is definatley working outside in the snow and still is struggeling with his back. I just hope that on Dani's Wedding it is not the same. It was so neat last weekend when we got to take her to the temple. It was nice to have the family together and once again have the reminder that families are forever. I'm so excited for Dani to get married. There will be a reception in American Fork and one in Pocatello. I really am so excited to go up to idaho, because I'm determined to go and see the Rexurg Temple. Last time I was living in Rexburg they were just preparing for the groundbreaking and last time I was just visiting it was still under construction. Now I will go and be able to see what it looks like and feel "The Spirit of Ricks" within the walls of the temple.

We are lucky enough to be able to stay with an old roommate of mine in Idaho Falls and I'm so excited to see Taniel and her little baby. You know, life really is just good, and it is because of the little things not the big ones.

I Voted - my rants read at your own risk

So I voted today and honestly I'm not so sure how I feel about it. I am somebody who has honestly not liked either canidate. The Canidate that I did like was Mitt Romney (and no not just because he was LDS). I felt like he was honest, sincere, and somebody that I would actually trust. I look back and do I like exactly where this country is at right now NO, but do I think Al Gore or John Kerry would have done better, absolutely NOT!!! So I guess I just wonder, where can we actually find a good canidate that will look out for me not the party, not there money, and not just their special interest. My answer to this is I don't know and I don't think that we will ever have that canidate but we can always Pray. Obama doesn't have the experience, but either does Sarah Palin, so is who better. Just because Obama is black does that mean that he should automatically be voted for just because your black? What is you are apart of the military should you automatically vote for McCain? Of course the answer to this obviously No, but unfortunately this is what many people will base their vote on. I'm honestly wishing we could have a election where their were no picures of the canidates and no history, just their positions on the issues. Kind of like voting for a bond or not; do you like it or not. This is not a plea for answers but my opportunity to express my discust in politics today.
I like the idea of the tax cuts for the poor, but well is that only because I'm broke. What if I was rich would I like the idea the Robin Hood idea. I found myself voting for a library bond, only because I kept having dumb people come to my door and telling me why my little town didn't deserve a library. But honestly what town doesn't need a good updated library no matter where you are at. If you build it they will come, Right?
So what did you do today?

PS as of this posting Corey hasn't voted yet.

Pictures

HAPPY HALLOWEEN this was our pumpkin that we submited to the Hatch Family Pumpkin Carving Contest. I think Corey did a great job, there were an entry for each family and Cedar won WAY TO GO!!! By the way I think that I have the cutest flopped ear bunny in the whole world.

This is playing with the new toys that Grandma Carol brought, He loved it. Derek loves to play with toys and would much rather be crawling and playing than being held (at least most of the time)

Happy Birthday Nate! Nate turned 26 this month way to go and don't you have the cutest neices and nephews in the whole world.

Bath Time!! This is one of Derek's favorite times. He will stay and play in the tub even when the water is freezing cold and his teeth is chattering. But well what ever makes him happy.

Derek is just like his Dad in this respect he loves to drive the car. When he is really mad and cranky you can just go sit in the car and he is happy as a clam. also you got to love the drool. So here are a few pictures and I hope that it makes everybody.

So it has been a while but well Life is just a little crazy and I don't quite know how to keep up. Halloween has come and gone, and Derek was a little bunny. He just might have been the cutest floppy ear bunny that I have ever seen, pictures will have to come at a later time, as honestly we haven't taken any, that will happen on Wednesday when we take pictures of Annistyn and Derek together in there costumes.
We are starting to look for a new apartment. When we moved into this apartment we took it because Ally begged us to get an apartment that was big enough for her to stay with us. Of course now she is getting married and well we no longer can afford it. Great!! my favorite thing to do in the whole wide world MOVE!!! can you sense the sarcasm in my voice. I actually am really sad because I love our ward and this home. but oh well we always can make new friends right.
We are now on visit #2 in 3 weeks from Carol. Corey's Mom and Step-Dad came into town 3 weeks ago and now she is back for her job hunting adventures. Hopefully she will soon find a new job.
Derek keeps getting bigger and bigger, He actually putting on weight and he is crawling. I honestly didn't think it would be just a big deal. but well he is fast and yea, he is a lot more difficult. But it is so much fun and I love seeing his personality grow and develop.
Well that is all for now, hopefully I will have some pictures later for ya'll.
