New Year, New Life

     Well its been way too long.  We had a great holiday season in the Pelon house.  End of October we moved out of grandma's house and into our new apartment at Wymount.  We love living in our own place.  It has been especially fun having a place of our own to decorate for the holiday season.
     We spent the Thanksgiving weekend with mom and dad in Porterville and were able to be a part of the pie party which brought David even more into the family through another family tradition.
     We spent a quiet Christmas at home.  My family came out for New Years Eve and we were able to show off our new apartment.

     In other news I have gradated BYU!! I am officially a college graduate!! Yeah! Not only that but I have a job working as a substitute teacher for the Provo school district! yeah for tender mercies!!

Well over and out!

Great Weekend!!

  Its been a couple of weeks since I wrote.  Dang it.
  This weekend has been great! Friday David's mom and brother came out from Springfield to bring us some furniture for our new apartment.  We got a couch, china cabinet, table, chairs, and  a bunch of other cool stuff.  We are so grateful for them.  It was great to see them!  David also took me to Divine Comedy that night.  For those who don't know Divine Comedy is the BYU sketch comedy troop.  This time their main sketch was called "Reception" making fun of the movie "Inception" and marriage/dating at BYU.
    Saturday night BYU FINALLY won another football game! YEAH!!! We were babysitting my cousin Bryce during the game.  He was less than happy that his mom and dad had left him with us.  But it all worked out well and we hope we get to watch him again soon.  He's pretty cute!
    Today we taught our last Family History class in our ward and were released from our calling.  Its bitter sweet.  We are happy to be moving into our own place but we are going to miss this ward.  We have been so blessed with a loving and supportive ward.  We will miss them all deeply.  After church we booked it down to Richfield for my new cousin Ali's blessing.  David got to stand in the circle.  It was great to see all the family!
    Over and Out.

"We are the World"

    My title today comes from our coworker Cassidy who had the Hatti version of "We are the World" stuck in her head all day at work, and of course she sang bits and pieces of it all day at work.  So now it is stuck in my head and I thought it would be a good title.  

    David took a MMBio Lab test today, its all written response but we are waiting on the results.  He feels really good about it and has been studying hard so I'm pretty sure he did well.  I took a Stats pre-test today and got 83%!! YEAH!! There is hope! I'm not taking the real one till Wednesday so hopefully I will be even more ready.

    We got our newest letter from Clark today, he is doing great! He is having a bit of a rough time with staying awake and feeling rested but otherwise seems to have everything going his way.

    So I whacked myself at work on Friday and got this pretty epic bruise on the side of my knee.  My friend Shiloh does make-up design and likes me to take pictures of all injuries so she can use them as refrenses for her work so I thought I would put the picture up here.  It is pretty epic don't you think?

   My last class today was canceled so David and I were able to hang out in the Wilk. a little before work, and he spoiled me by taking me to J-Dawgs for dinner.  For those who do not know J-Dawgs are the most amazing hot dogs in Utah, possibly the world!!  If you are ever in the BYU area stop by J-Dawgs, its only 3 dollars for a huge hot dog with amazing sauce and yummy toppings.  I should also say that I believe there are only four places that hot dogs are yummy: Cost-co, baseball games, camping, and J-Dawgs.  So this ode to J-Dawgs is not just because I love hot dogs all the time but because they are the best thing EVER!!! YUM!! 

   Any who, David is getting home from the gym any minute and I need to study for a map quiz in my Argentina class.  Over and out!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

     So I've been trying to go through and consolidate my old journals and realized that I havn't been writing in one since David and I started dating.  So I'm going to try and get better at that by blogging.  We will see how that works.  We have been married for five months now and I can not believe how fast it has gone by.  The old saying "time flies when your having fun" is definitely true.  We are getting ready to move out of Grandma's basement in a month and I am so excited to have a kitchen all under my own control! I finally get to decided where stuff goes without having to fight anyone over it.  Plus I get to put my Cut-co wood block on the counter instead of hiding it in the bedroom.  Well 26 days and counting.
    This weekend we went to an Asado (Argentine BBQ) with my History of Argentina class.  David had a ton of fun eating yummy food cooked my real Argentine's, since every time I try to make stuff I make it too Mexican.  He also got to talk about Argentina and some good mission times with some other RMs.  I had fun finally getting a taste of the culture he spent two years of his life in.  The meat was a little rare for me but the bread was incredible and the chariso (i don't know how you spell that) was so good! It was a great five month anniversary date.
    Today we taught indexing in our Family History Class, which is our favorite week cause we basically just get to sit back and answer questions about handwriting and batches and stuff.  Oh I totally passed my 1000 names goal today which is super exciting! I feel like I am actually doing something to help the work go forward.
    Well, over and out!
