Our toilet paper.

Our TP is in a very unusual spot! it is actually really annoying because to access it easily the door has to be open, and then the door knob is pretty much smacking you in the eyeball and nose while you're trying to do your business!!  anyway.. just one more reason why we want to move! 

A wedding and a funeral

This weekend was quite busy for us, and we didn't even hardly get any time to ourselves to do what we wanted to do. Neither one of us have school on fridays, so usually we go see a movie, clean the house, or do something with our time.  But this week on friday my friend Sarah was getting married, and i was a bridesmaid so that sucked up all our time for friday. 

It was a nice wedding, she got married in the churches relief society room, then had the reception at the church.  It was nice, but i am glad that its over and done with. 

Saturday morning we woke up and drove to spanish fork for the day. Curtis' great grandma died on tuesday morning so we spent all day at her viewing/funeral thing. I thought that i was going to be okay going, afterall, i had never met her. While death is always sad and nothing to be happy about, i didnt think that i'd be bothered at all while we were there. I was doing okay, we even went in and saw her body, but when i saw her husband come in, i fell apart.  I could see how awful he felt, to have his wife of over 50 years taken from him so suddenly, and it was hard for me to hold my tears back as i thought of my own life and what would happen to me if someone i loved dearly was gone. 

Anyway, to get to the moral...

both the wedding and the funeral made me so grateful for eternal families, and just having the gospel in my life and knowing that we can be together forever,  made me feel so happy. As i saw one of my best friends get married, i was so happy for her, but at the same time so sad, as she said "i do"  and promised for life only.  It made me think of my own wedding day, and how tears filled everyones eyes in the room as we promised forever, and how safe that makes me feel. I don't have to worry about anyone being taken suddenly and never being able to be with them again, because i know that if that happens, it will only be a short time until we are together again. 

HOORAY for the blessings of the temple, HOORAY for eternity!! 

Hello Blogging World!

Well I finally decided to jump onto the bandwagon and create a blog for us!  After brad telling me (quite a few months ago) that I should make a blog so I could show everyone our house and other random things. . anyway.  I'm Emilie and he's Curtis, we're both Jones.  We got married December 21 2007, and are just trying to live life as students. 

I just got accepted into the Elementary Education program at BYU (YES!!) and so i only have 3 more semesters left until i can start my teaching internship. Curtis just decided that he wants to be a nurse of some sort, and is working towards that. 

We live in a little condo in north orem, for now. Here are some pictures of our lovely abode. 

 

And i can't forget to mention we have two little doggies. A Poo-Shih-Poo and a Malti-poo. one is black, and one is white. Most people call them salt and pepper... but we call them lola and shasta. For now, they are our babies.
