Colorado here we come
Ok, really Colorado is only getting Cory but the rest of us will visit often!! Kaylynn and kids will be staying in Ephraim, Utah with her parents for the duration of the internship. We are grateful for the no rent, super supportive parents to let us do that and hope to be helpful to them as well.
Kaylynn has been mostly excited about the cheese sticks at Fat Jacks (what is it called now?) YUMMMMYYY!!
We already received our tax refund back and found and bought a used (new to us!)car - a Honda Accord WAGON! hehe, its sweet. 5 speed so it has get up and go, good gas mileage AND lots of trunk space-the three most important things in a car! All right, a working fan that blows heat and AC is also important feature too, ohh and window lock so the kids can't roll down their windows!

Creating
Have you ever fell into that trap of comparision?! Well, I sure did this weekend..if you read my last post, you will see some result of my trap...blogs, scrapbooking, pretty much all crafty/creative projects. I realized usually the talents others have that I am jealous of and have tried (halfheartedly at times) to improve in myself. Then Sunday, I was asked to be on a panel for the Young Women talking about the divine role as a woman and how I have found joy in being a woman (thats a whole funny story in of itself - wasn't I the tomboy and the least homemaker creative type girl?!)which the talk given by President Uchtdorf (2008 Relief Society General Broadcast) titled
"Happiness, Your Heritage" was brought up. What an inspiring talk! I loved it then and when I read it in the Ensign and again Sunday, it just was perfect! He talks about how as women sometimes we "undervalue [our] abilities - [we] focus on what is lacking or imperfect rather than what has been accomplished and who [we] really are... The good news is that this also points to an admirable quality : the innate desire to please the Lord to the best of [your] ability. Unfortunately, it can also lead to frustration, exhaustion and unhappiness." He goes on to ask "What is our Heavenly Father's happiness?" Well, we know His goals are to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man..."He is able to accomplish these two great goals...because He is a God of creation and compassion." Now- girls, we are awesome at these two things! We are partners with God in creation of human life! And really, who is more compassionate of the sexes? (TYPICALLY-us right?!) President Uchtdorf goes on to say "everyone can create." If you say, like I did, I am not the creative type (see the above paragraph) he goes on to say "Remember you are spirit daughters of the most creative Being in the universe....Think about it-your spirit body is a masterpiece, created with beauty, function, and a capacity beyond imagination."
And why were we created? 2Nephi2:25 to have JOY!!! And one way is by creating things. "Creation means bringing into existencesomething that did not exist before-colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter. What you create doesn't have to be perfect....Don't let the fear of failure discourage you. Don't let the voice of critics paralyze you-whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside." I hear that voice sometimes-don't you?
"If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it."
President Utchdorf's message was fantastic and I encourage you to read the full article - pg 117 in the Nov. 08 Ensign or go to www.lds.org It helped me to share this (hey, I just created something!) so I hope you enjoy your day and create something new! (leave a comment and it will create a smile on my face!)

Blogs
I just have to say, I do not have a cute blog and I think to myself why bother? Either I suck or everyone else has an incredible amount of time/energy or amazing time mngmnt skills or?!! I don't get it, there are so many things I want to talk about but man...I don't know how to just open up and blog I guess! If I don't have pictures I feel like I can't post anything and anyone who knows me knows I love taking pictures but they also know I am computer/ditigal/tech challenged. AGHH. Any hints please.
Follow up few days later...Thank you for your comments...all of you really helped. Can I comment on my own post? I was just having a weird, agh day. I am excited to learn new ways to change up my blog and beautify it. Even trying to let myself just blog whatever... hope you enjoy!

Cory's Internship
I first applied to Promontory golf club a high class private community with two 18 hole golf course.. very nice !! I was very excited about this one and so was Kaylynn. They paid well and provided housing for me and I would be able to go see Kaylynn at her mom and dads every weekend.
but alais I got an email back that they had already hired all their intern for the summer but that they would love to have me next year...
the search continues.....
I found another fantastic golf course in heber city. it is a jack nicholas design. very nice and fancy which really equates to a higher salary because you have more expectations. this course is also part of a company called troon glof that owns and opperates 200 golf courses through out the world. would be nice to get into that company. Again it was close to where Kaylynn would be staying for the summer, but after we haggled out salary and housing I realized that they had two other interns one of which was a girl and we would have been staying in the same house...not good. it was a deal breaker.
the seach continues.....
the superintendant at red ledges was kind enough to try to get me a job at the glacier club in durango colroado, but again i got the "you have a great resume and we would love to have you but we have already hired all of our interns for this year"
suck..
In a mad dash I sent out four resumes all at once. i felt like i was running out of time for finding a great internship. one to teton pines in jackson, wy beautiful golf course and a great superintendant, but they were all full as well. another to manito golf and country club in spokane, wa a good course for spokane and it would be nice to live by family plus there is a school for children with cochlear implants, but the interview didn't sit well with me the job was offered, pay was okay, but if felt as if they were saying "really you want to do an internship here why? have you considered other options?" so i am considering other options. another golf course war roaring fork golf club again excellent course and they had fly fishing on the course too.this course is in aspen colorado. they are currently reviewing my resume, but it might be too late cause I really like this final one! and the finall one is a private community near vail, co. it has four golf courses three regular 18 hole courses and 1 par 3 nine hole course. huge community lots of money. I have received an offer from this course and it looks really good. great pay, free housing, five and a half hour drive to Ephraim, ut. every other weekend off. I would also have a chance to manage a crew on some weekends to get management experience. It is a really good opportunity. I have been offered the job and am waiting on some final paperwork. I don't want to prematurely celebrate, I'll feel secure when I get it all in writing.
I hope the search is over..
Cory received his final paperwork for his internship offer!!!Yeah, we are very excited! Mostly just knowing where we will be is such a relief and comfort.

February 2009
February for most people maybe called the month of love in reference to Valentines Day. But in our family, February truly is the month of love...besides Valentines, our wedding anniversary is the 26th, (my parents is the 12th!),and we celebrate both our children's birthdays - Owen the 4th and Emily the 10th. I love my family and love this month when we have so many opportunities to show our love. We try to show our love every day but the human in us, I think we just get lazy sometimes and its nice to be reminded of how much we appreciate and love having one another to share eternites together!
