After Logan's training he was able to come home for 2 weeks. When his 2 weeks were up, he headed back down to the Gulf to start his first "hitch" as they call it, for 3 weeks. During those 3 weeks I was able to work on some projects of mine for the house we were working towards and to do some house hunting on my own. I would send e-mails to Logan of houses that I liked so I could get his opinion as well. I kept myself busy and I was able to talk to Logan twice a day. I didn't even talk to him that much when he was gone for his training. Logan wasn't even home 2 days when we found a house! I'll try and get pictures to post especially of before and after. The house was built in the early 1900's and has a lot of character to it. There is some fire damage to it but Logan, my dad and Logan's dad, put a new part of a roof on the damaged areas in 3 days. There is tons of things that we could do to this house to make it our own and I can not wait to decorate it. When we get finished renovating the place we will have 4 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths. We still have 2 weeks before Logan has to go back for his hitch and I'm sure we can get loads of work done with the place and hopefully, hopefully get to move in before he has to head back. I'm sure I can get all the painting, organizing and crafty things started by the time he gets back in June.
So as you probably can tell we will not be moving down south. What we didn't know is if you live so far away they give you a traveling allowance. So that's why we bought a house where we did.
Life is going so well for us. We feel so blessed for the things that we have been given this past year that we have been married. We thank our Heavenly Father, family and are friends.

Logan got a NEW JOB!
So...Logan got a new job. He works for a company called Noble Corporation. It is, oil drilling rigs off the coasts of Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska and other places like that. Anyway, Monday he starts his training, but his training is in Louisianna and he will be training for 2 weeks. And if they want they can send him out on the rig right away! So all in all he could really be gone for 5 weeks. Crazy I know but not only does it pay well but we get really good benifits. So if we were to up and start our family some time soon, we wouldn't have to worry so much about how we are going to pay the bills. Such a comfort to know.
Nothing really new with me. I work at a Lazer tag place now instead of the grocery store and today is my 1 month mark and the first week in April will be my last. By then Logan should be back and we should be moving to Texas or somewhere down south. So wish us luck as we begin this new chapter and a giant leap in our newly married lives!

Hello...Again.
Well things do get crazy! We have some news to share with everyone. We will be moving in about a month and a half! Although we are only moving about 30 min away, it is still further then where we are now. We will be moving in with the delightful person I call my sister-in-law. She is so wonderful :) We will be living in the basement as soon as Logan finishes it. He is going to be putting a bathroom in for us, insilating the ceiling and walls that he is going to build. I think I got just a tad bit excited, because I already started packing stuff up to move.
Logan and myself have been attempting to teach swing dancing to the youth in our ward. Only the nights that we can do it, and the time of day doesn't quite work out for him. So yes, I am going solo on teaching. It was supposed to be a learning experience, more so for Logan then me. That turned out not like we, or I had hoped for or planned.
My poor hubby is still stuck working nights. He still is not liking it one bit. The funny thing is, is that Logan does pretty darn well for a job that isn't quite his favorite. He scored in the 138% percentile of his work progress. Which basically means that he is haulin!!! On the other hand, Logan has so hope to get on with a oil rig company. He just got some news today from is padre that there is a possible opening.
Me on the other hand, I will be going for a tour of my extremely promising new job!! It is a lazer tag, party house kind of place and it seems like such a better envirnment then what I'm working in now :)
There really is nothing else to report. But I will try to make sure that Logan actually gets a turn to post. (This post was actually supposed to be his!)
