Colter and I moved to Pocatello at the end of 2011 we moved into the most terrible little apartment (thanks to Colter for choosing it out all by himself) Thank you dear. I had to re-clean the whole place and i'm not talking cleaning like you normally would when you move into a new apartment. I'm talking i had to literally scrub the red dirt off the walls and out of the floors, we also had tile counter tops (with grout) so that made cooking interesting.It was a one bedroom basement apartment that if you put your hands above your head you could punch through the ceiling. There were 4 power outlets in the entire apartment (not in the bathroom) so we had cords hooked to cords and everything plugged into the cords, It was one big fire hazard. We stayed there a whole year. regardless of someone trying to break in twice during December and the first part of January.
So the reason we moved to Pocatello in the first place, Colter was accepted into the Law Enforcement Program at Idaho state University. He started in January and was done by October. The program went straight through the year no breaks so we didn't really have time or a chance to see any of our family and friends more than a few times I feel like we are secluded all the way down here. While Colter was in the academy he got a job working for the university as a Public Safety Officer (which really helped financially) he was getting awesome benefits and school cost us $5 per credit so after he graduated the academy in October he decided to take advantage of the opportunity and finish his associates degree ( we might as well since were already here).
I have been doing hair since we got down here i started working at a salon in walmart and i hated it worst job i've had in a long time. In July i finally had enough of working in a crappy job so i switched to a different privately owned salon. Its been amazing and i now love my job.
We got to go down to conference in SLC in October which was amazing, to be in the conference center in such a monumental time in the church was indescribable Thank you to Kiera and Craig Conover for giving us an excuse to come down and enjoy conference with you guys. I helped megan with her junior miss at the beginning of the year, we also got to go to Lagoon, and I coached cheer for a great group of girls.
On a more personal note we decided to get serious about having a baby and stop messing around so much. I started going to the doctor and we having really been trying to figure things out. ( its not as easy as everyone says) I have really been struggling as we have fought through this last year trying to figure out why we arnt getting pregnant. But through alot of prayers and alot of tears we may be getting closer to finding the problem. I hate to be a complainer and i really dont like people to feel sorry for me so dont say sorry or offer condolences it only makes it harder. If you want to help just send your prayers. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for Colter and I and our Family and he works on his time.
We have been under alot of stress recently with this year or so struggle with infertility. There have been huge stressful struggles with my family and finding out who real friends are. but through all the problems and the hurt we have grown closer as a family. Colter and i have grown closer as a couple. If there is one thing that i have learned this year is the importance of forgiving those who hurt you I have been on an emotional rollercoaster because things from the past have been brought up of people that i need to forgive and i cant but im working on it. I know things will work out for the best and i know that heavenly father will carry me though if he has to but I will get though it heck i already made it to 2013 and almost through the first month so far which is AMAZING because i have had the worst luck since midnight on the 1st. Ive fried my eyebrows/eyelashes, dropped my NEW iphone in the toilet, cut my hand pretty good with a screwdriver and then my scissors the next day, slipped on the snow and landed flat on my back in the mud and knocked the wind out of myself, devoloped a HUGE bruise on my arm from having blood drawn, and cut my forehead with a bush. so if this is the way 2013 is going to play out i want to skip it haha
