I changed my blog layout so I figured I needed to make a post. Although nothing in our lives is exceptionally post-worthy right now. 2012 is off to a great start. We've settled into our new house and are loving it (still no pics).  Since graduating I've been substitute teaching and looking for a job. Subbing is okay, but I have to say I'm not a huge fan of having to be in different classrooms with unfamiliar students all the time. BUT I am getting paid, so that's nice. Parker and I both got callings working with the youth so we're excited about that. We were able to go to them temple with them to do baptisms this last Saturday. I was telling the girls it's weird for me to be helping them and telling them what to do because I was seriously just a young women myself like 4 years ago.
Oakley puppy is quite the brat. A very cute brat. I took her to the vet this last week and she bit the vet so hard the vet was bleeding. The vet's note for that visit: Please pracice restraint and handling with Oakley. Oops. I really think Oakley bit her because she was sick of hearing "No ma'm" and being called "naughty girl". Also, she likes to growl at people (especially if you are eating and don't give her any food). Typing this all makes her sound a lot worse than she really is though. And also I can't believe this blog post is turning out to be all about my dog. Pathetic? Yes I know.

Oh! And guess what? My lovely cousin is getting married in March and I get to make the trip out to Utah for the big day. I am so excited! It feels like ages since I've been there and I'm so excited to see family and friends. Also, I have a strong desire to go on BYU campus, even though this time last year I was dying to be gone. It's so different when I don't have any responsibilities associated with campus anymore. Except to get chocolate covered cinnamon bears :)

Okay well for having nothing to blog about this has turned into quite the rambling little post. Sorry. Now I'm going to make these babies. Yum!
