Our first week in Jersey

So we've been in New Jersey for about a week now and we love it! There is a little family across the hall, shout out to the Collinswood Family, and they have a cute lil 2 year old boy named Caleb, who Sienna loves. She wakes up everyday and always asks if we can go see Caleb and Karen(his mommy).
Driving here is crazy though, but I'm proud to say I've braved it twice now. We had to buy a gps system when we got here because the roads are impossible to navigate by yourself. Unless you've been here you have no idea what the road system is like. There is no organization, a lot of the signs are hidden, and people honk and give you fun gestures all the time. It was funny driving into New Jersey because there were no welcome signs to be found, but then driving to the store a couple days ago we saw 2 for the northern entrance. I guess they just don't welcome southerners.
Grant is doing really well!!! He has made a sell everyday, the one on Monday cancelled, but he looked on the company web site today and he's number 5 in the office for this week and he's the top first year for this week. We know it's the Lord blessing us from all of your prayers, so thank you! Grant is working so hard and has such a positive attitude, I'm so proud of him.
Sienna did get a little sick last night, but seems to be feeling better this morning, sometimes when she gets in a new place and has her sleeping schedule interrupted she runs a lowgrade fever. She has been really good though, and didn't throw a single fit the whole drive up, she's such a little trooper.
Two really weird things about this place are the lack of good grocery stores and you have to pay to use a cart!!! You put a quarter in and get it back when you return it. Target has an alarm system for their carts so you don't have to pay there, but there are no Super Targets or Super Walmarts here! I think Grant and I have figured out that most people have there groceries delivered, so we're going to try that next week and see how it goes.
I'm doing really good. Karen has been such a big help and so kind that I only had one day of homesickness and since then I've been fine. I'm so grateful to have her right across the hall. We'll keep ya'll updated on his sells, please keep on praying for him!

ps:we're still not flaming liberals, but we'll see what a summer in the north does to us!

New Jersey

WE MADE IT TO JERSEY!
Here are some pics of the new place, we especially love the kitchen!

WE'RE OFFICIALLY TOGETHER FOREVER!!!!!

Grant and I got sealed on Saturday at the Houston, TX temple and it was wonderful! We've been waiting for this day for a while and nothing could take away from our happiness, not even the weird crepe place we ate at afterwards! We will be posting pics as soon as Heather is done editing, but it was a beautiful day and the temple grounds were perfect. I never knew we had such a pretty temple in Texas. We love how green Houston is and how many trees there are, even downtown is covered in them. It's a very cool city, and we feel very blessed to have been sealed there.

Feeling Under the Weather

So I've felt kind of gross the past couple of days, my head feels like it's been hit by a ton of bricks, I've been running a low grade fever, and the weather forecast is bad for this weekend so I've been kinda down. Then this morning Sienna was eating m&m's because she found them on the table (her abuela had brought them when she picked up Grant for work and Grant had left them on the table) and I didn't feel good enough to make a real breakfast and she looked up at me and said, "Your my best friend, mommy." It was so sincere and my heart just melted and I totally forgot about how yucky I feel and the weather this weekend and was reminded of how lucky I am to get to stay at home with Sienna, and what a blessed life I lead.

Going away party

Well last night/early this morning was Daniel's going away party for his mission. Daniel let us have his old camera because he got a new one, and I'm pretty excited, but I think Natalie was just a bit more excited than I was. It was fun to get out of the house and actually hang out with people, something that we don't get to do near as often as we would like. Sienna had a great time playing with Adam and Jacob, and Natalie got to hold Caden, David and Cilla's newest addition. We saw a bunch of old friends from singles ward and it was nice to reconnect with them. We ate a lot and laughed until 1:00am and then we had to go home, we're getting old I guess. It was a lot of fun and we're happy for Daniel.

Some More Pics

These are some of our favorite pics and a pic of Sienna's new haircut. The wedding pics were done by Heather McClelland at woodbendphotography.com.

We're Getting Sealed!!!

For those of you who don't know, I was married before Grant and it of course ended and Grant and I have been waiting on the temple cancellation to go get sealed. It was a very long process because of botched paper work, but it finally came in and we're getting sealed April 11th in the Houston temple at 3:00 pm. We are so excited and want all of our loves one that can to come. We didn't send out an invite, so just show up if you can. We're having a photographer/friend, Heather McClelland come and shoot that day so we would like everyone to come in clothes that coordinate with yellow and gray. I hope to see you there!
