Jemlyns
When I was in High School I got my very first job at Coney's Frozen Custard in Orem. I worked there for a few years and during that time I met two of the greatest friends I could ever have- Julie and Emilee. Over the years we have become so close that we just refer to ourselves as "Jemlyns", which is what you get when you combine our names. This past week Julie and her husband and their adorable baby came up to visit from Cedar City and we all went out to lunch. Jon came too, of course, and so did another coworker of ours from the good old Coneys days, who also happened to be my next door neighbor all my life, Selleck. Sensuous sandwich was delicious and we loved hanging out with good friends!!
Julie, Emilee, and I.
We're so funny--and so is Julie's husband, being all high and mighty in the background.
We love our friends!

2 Reasons
There are a million reasons why I love Jon. He is so sweet and perfect in every way to me. I am so grateful for him and everyday I fall more in love with him. But the past two nights have given me two new reasons to love him.
Thursday night- he stayed up until midnight with me (even though he had to get up early the next morning) as we took turns getting running starts and jumping into bed, bouncing one another as high as we could. We laughed so hard that night, it was awesome!
Friday night- it was about 1:00 am. Jon was snoring, so I reached over and nudged him. He turned over, fumbled his hand around his nightstand for a second before turning on his lamp, then sat straight up in bed and said "He's got a gun!!" I started laughing. He looked at me, apologized for being a dork, turned off his light and went back to bed. I asked him the next morning if he remembered that. He didn't.
I love you, Jon!

Fast Forward
Has it really been half a month since I last posted???? I am ashamed. And I had been doing so well, too!!! I guess things just kind of got pretty busy since the wedding and we have been so engrossed in the click of well, life, that I completely spaced the blog for a while there. Sorry! Let me fast forward you all so you are up to date again.
Jon got a new job! YAY!!!! We have been super excited about it. He finally quit Walmart and started training for his new job this past Monday. He will start working this coming week! We are very grateful to Mo, (Jon's roommate and good friend from BYU-Idaho who originally got Jon to ask me out in the first place) for suggesting the job to Jon! It seems like whenever something big needs to happen, Mo always points us in the right direction! Ha ha. Jon is so happy that he doesn't have to work at Walmart anymore, or commute to South Jordan every day. The new job is in American Fork at the Utah State Developmental Center.
It's right across the street from the temple. What a great view to see everyday! He got a job as a developmentalist offering direct care to the individuals living there. When he isn't working, Jon spends as much time as he can studying for the GRE so he can get into Grad school. He is nervous about getting a good score but I know he is super smart and he will do an awesome job.
We also did end up getting a new fish so now Milo has a friend/enemy (since betta fish fight). We keep them in separate bowls but put them right next to each other so they can see one another. They are pretty funny because they constantly forget that the other one is there and then they catch sight of one another and just stop swimming and stare at each other intently. Or sometimes one will catch sight of the other without the other noticing and glare at him for a while. We decided to name our second fish Otis, as suggested by my brother in law. I didn't get a picture of them watching one another at the same time because every time I tried, it scared them out of their little glare war. But I did catch them stalking one another.

Have a great weekend!
