God watches out for those that are faithful

You know i have always heard that and believed that but I believe right now that being married in the temple and then being faithful afterworths and trying our hardest to be faithful is what the Lord wants us to be like. I know we aren't perfect not saying that but we have been blessed. 

For instance: We were house sitting and watching kids and such for almost 2 months before we moved in with my parents. Now we are blessed with my parents having us there with them and we are able to just live there and get our feet on the ground. It is a blessing and so worth it to grow together and to get a strong hold on things before we start our lives with no money. 

We also have been blessed with friends that gave us the opportunity and the blessing to receive some extra money. We also have been blessed in small ways. 

Steve still has a job and that is a blessing with all the hard times coming around we are grateful that he has a job still! 

The even smaller things. Tinae has not been given a job yet. But has been working for the last year with a company doing freelance graphic design and able to do that. She is also able to watch children when needed and be free to do that. She is able also, just started for $5 each time i walk this dog too. It is only a couple days a week but so easy to do and it is helping this family and helping us! So be faithful and believe in the Lord and trust him! Trust him and pay your tithing and all things will work out :) 

Tinae will hopefully receive an interview from Kaplan University also which would be great and not great hours but will I think prepare me also for the crazy hours that children bring to the world. It is all great right now and believe that this is all from the Lord. 

He really does watch out for everyone :) 
Love you all and hope that you are all doing very well!

New Hair






So Chandra and I decided that it was time to get rid of our long hair :( Ours were both past our shoulder blades and ready to come off especially after the wedding and now don't have that to have pretty hair for, I was ready. Florida is nice but it is SO hot and I see why SO many ladies here in the ward have short hair. It is easier to take care of also :) 

So enjoy!! Chandra and I donated our hair to Locks of Love. It feels SO good to serve and grateful that we did!! I love to serve and grateful for this opportunity to give up my lovely hair to such a great donation place! 

Chandra cut off 10 inches, and I cut off 10 1/2 inches so if you can kind of see what it loooked like before too. The pictures might be sideways.. couldn't get them to switch over but enjoy!!

A new update

Well, After steve and I were married we were going to house sit for 6 weeks which we did and that one OLD dog was VERY good practice for having kids haha!! We then were going to move straight into my parents house.. b

ut the Lord has blessed in multiple ways!! We then were asked to watch 2 kids, last week one the age of 2 and the other was 4 and had them for four days, on top of that we then moved to another families house in the ward who asked us to watdch their 3 kids and for two days we had 5 kids with us. Wow how we moved from a dog to kids.. hmm.. someone posted on our wall saying that dogs are good practice for kids.. well us watching that one dog was probably preparing us for these upcoming weeks!

We survived that and we had a great time with all the kids. It was wonderful!! Well it is now like 8 weeks that we have been married, well I guess almost 2 months and haven't spent more than a day or two at my parents house. We are now watching a little dog and a cat. It has been wonderful. We have had a great time. it has been wonderful having houses to bump back and forth from. We thought about opening our own business bouncing from houses haha!

So that is our update. It has been wonderful! We have been blessed in multiple ways! Hope everything is going well for eveyrone else. School starts back up for Steve I am still looking for a job.. It is so hard now but even the little blessings of helping with kids and such is wonderful. I have been looking everywhere including Sea World and Kohls and other places that are not in the major but it hasn't worked out.. we will see.. I am hoping something will happen, let me know if you have any ideas for me!!

Oh I have been helping out in primary and am teaching 6-7 year olds it is great right now! I have been enjoying that and a break from Relief Society, the kids are SO smart and that has been so much fun too.
