Update

Just a little update for the few people who read our blog.  We created a cute quote thingy for our dining room wall.  We both love this quote thanks to the viral youtube video.  If you aren't familiar with the video, click here.

We got a great open back frame from Hobby Lobby in Grand Junction, Co, for a great price.  We bought some paint and uses my mom's cricket to cut the lettering.  I think it turned out really cute. 

Another update includes school for me (Marissa).  I know I just finished school a year and a half ago, but I miss it.... so I'm getting a M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction from WGU.  I earned a partial scholarship by working in my school district, too.  I'm excited to get started but nervous about the time requirement.  We don't have kids... there aren't a lot of distractions for us in Blanding... perfect situation, right?  Somehow with all of those pros I am still nervous.  I am only a 2nd year teacher and I'm fearful I'm biting off too much than I can handle.  Yesterday was my first official day, and I've realized that online schooling is going to be a challenge!  Wish me luck!
