New Adventures

Well you know the saying "all good things must come to an end" unfortunately i am experiencing an end to a wonderful adventure this week. 
Let me explain, When Eric was originally offered his job at willey ford, the pay would be flat rate. (now honestly its too complicated to figure out how to explain that but it wasn't in our best interest) He originally turned down the job and they again offered it to him but this time hourly. Well this last month the dealership has made some changes and unfortunately again they were not in our best interest. Eric was being taken off hourly and put to flat rate. He was fortunate enough to find a job about 2 miles away from our apartment. He will be packaging cabinets and then loading them into his truck and driving them to the drop off place and unloading them. I honestly think this is going to be a great job for him. It is very task oriented and that is the personality Eric has. You give him a task and he needs to see it through. Its very hard for him when he is constantly being pulled off one job to do another.  I am not looking forward to the drive to bountiful by myself but i am so excited for this new adventure! 

As for my big adventure....I am headed back to school!!! i am so excited to start learning again but at the same time i am scared to death! I am jumping in, 12 credit hours in the spring! It will be a great but stressful semester i am sure. I am just so excited to have a loving husband to help me!

I feel like the Lord is finding ways for us to depend on each other in ways we haven't had to before! Our calling is as wonderful as ever! We just had our primary program and i have to admit it is my favorite sunday of the year! I love when the little kids stand up there and bear witness of our Savior, and what we've been teaching them in primary. From the shy little sunbeams to the confident valiants. i enjoy every moment of it!

We have been suck figuring out the holidays! It is going to be harder to decorate this year with our kitty getting into everything but i still want to try. While cleaning a few weeks ago i found our christmas decorations and it took all my strength not to start decorating. I really want to get into the season with joy and love in our hearts and home! 

Well i think that is it for us! Hope this finds you all well! 

Love
The Daleys :)

1 year has come and gone

Well i guess i might as well give an update on us.

Well as I'm sitting here writing this blog i realize that i have some explaining to do. Back in March (i think) i mentioned we were moving to Idaho in August. Well that didn't happen. Although Eric is in school at BYU-I we have stayed in salt lake. We both have good jobs right now and so we are working on putting money into saving and getting prepared for our next adventure :) More details to come later :)

A lot has happened since our last post. Eric went to Oregon for his sisters wedding, i stayed home and celebrated my grandma's 50th wedding anniversary! I enjoyed the time i got to spend with my family i missed my husband and i'm really glad he has no scheduled trips to Oregon without me!

We celebrated our one year anniversary in october. I still can't believe its been a year. My sweet husband spoiled me! First we celebrated by running a 5K! Okay...lets me honest i totally did NOT run it! we were with Chris and Marie and so Eric and Chris took off and Marie and I walked it. This 5K reminded me alot of wipe out! Here are just a few pics from that fun time!






















 Okay so maybe more than a few... lol! we really enjoyed the run!
We went home and cleaned up and then We went to the anniversary inn. this was a surprise to me. Once again my sister Morgan had helped Eric find a deal to get us a room :) We stayed in the cape cod room. Eric wanted that room because it reminded him of the beach which is where we went on our honeymoon. We ate at the Roof. As i sat and looked at the view of the salt lake temple and then my wonderful husband across at the table i couldn't help but be feeling with overwhelming love. The memories of our wedding day came rushing back and i was the happiest woman alive! We left the roof and took a carriage ride around downtown. It was so wonderful! i couldn't have asked for a better night :)




We have lots of adventures coming up and we are allowing our lives to be in the Lords hands! We constantly learn and grow and i can't help but feel blessed that i have found my soul mate and eternal companion who at times drives me crazy, but is always there for my crazy adventures!

Well i guess that wasn't a ton about us, but at least it was an update!

Love,
The Daleys :)
