Well.. I'm one of them now. One of those "blogger" people. And I'm actually kind of excited about it. I've been telling Andrew for the past few months that I really need to start one so I can keep track of all of the exciting things that have been happening, and that are about to happen. That and I am going to post a billion pictures of Brynlee guilt free so they don't pop up on people's newsfeed every day ;) I'm really hoping that I keep up with it so that way I can use it as a form of journal because Heaven knows how horrible I am at writing in my journal. 
Well, I guess I will start off by updating you all on whats going on in our life!  
Andrew- Man does he rock. I am constantly amazed at how much he does and accomplishes on a daily basis. I don't think I've ever met anyone that works as hard as he does. He just finished a semester full of classes including his last Organic Chemistry class (which he rocked- how is that even possible?!) and he is currently studying for the DAT which he takes on May 10th. He has been studying for it for the past three months averaging two full practice tests (4 hours) a week and then studying at least 2 hours a day (Saturdays about 6-8 hours). On top of doing that and taking his other classes, he works at a pain clinic as a procedure technician and at a dentist office. He also is in the bishopric for our ward as the executive secretary. AND on top of all that he is the best husband and dad I could ever ask for.
Me- There really isn't too much going on for me. I am absolutely loving being a mom. I'll expound on that in a bit. I am still in classes (going through Weber State now) and just trucking along with those. I really hate school, I've never really liked it (the whole sitting down and concentrating thing isn't the easiest for me) but I love the fact that I have education available to me and I know how important it is to be educated. I still work about 20 hours a week- about half as a bank teller and the other half in the medical office that Andrew works at helping to keep the doctor's documents organized and redoing their medical forms. Thankfully I can bring Brynlee with me for the office work. I'm also in the Young Women's program in my ward which I absolutely love. I am over the girls ages 12-14. They are the highlight of my week! I love watching them learn and grow. They are the best. Between being a new mom, part time worker, school student, youth leader, and wife.. life gets pretty busy. But I wouldn't have it any other way! (except maybe a few more hours of sleep!)
Brynlee- Where in the world do I begin. I never knew how much I could absolutely love someone so much. I find that all my extra time is spent ooh-ing and ahh-ing at all the fun little things that she does. She is 6 months old right now and I swear that girl is either 1) smiling or 2) making some ridiculous face. Here come the pictures!

































































Anyway, this was a novel but at least its a start :) 
Garnet, Andrew and Brynlee
