The Pay-Off

Many times while Tracie was in school we wondered if her schooling was going to pay off. All those times she drug Logan into the school to get a pedicure, a manicure, a facial, a scalp treatment, and a haircut just so she could get her curriculum done. Well, now we see the light!!! Tracie got her test results back for her practical exam and scored a 94%! She was excited and then a couple days later, received her Idaho license in the mail! Now, the next step is applying for her Utah one. Then she will be free to work in any salon she wishes! We can't wait!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Someone like YOU only happens in a lifetime,
And I'm so glad that YOU happened in mine!
Happy Valentine's Everyone!
We love you all and hope every thing is well with you!
Love,
Logan and Tracie

Week-end Fun

This week has been an interesting one. Tracie went to Twin Falls last Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for two reasons: 1) Her dad fixed her car (so when you turn it doesn't sound like your axle's about to pop off at any moment); and 2) She took her State Board practical test to get her license! She lots of fun spending time with her family, going to watch her brother play basketball, couch shopping with mom, and watching cousins. However, the trip to Boise was an unforgettable experience! Simply because we left at 3:00 am, and had 7 puppies in the car with us that no matter what we did they just wouldn't stop howling! Besides all that, she enjoyed spending the day with her parents. Then of course there is nothing like going home to see a husband that is so excited to see you too. :)
Then to start off our week, Logan had work, which he is starting to enjoy more, and Tracie started work also! Tracie got a job working as a telemarketer for Coit Cleaning Services. Everything seems to be looking up and up for us!!
Thanks to all our loveing and wonderful family for their support!

On the Hunt and a valuable lesson learned

Logan and I have been on a hunt the last couple days...or weeks. Logan got sick last week and because of it, doesn't have work anymore. And me, well no one wants to hire me because I just finished Beauty School and want to do that someday and everyone wants me to stay long term. So after applying for job after job after job, it was looking very grim. Sunday rolled around and I noticed that we were behind on tithing and of course we were getting low on money with no jobs. So, we had a decision to make and after a short talk I sternly told Logan that we ARE paying our tithing because we can't afford to not have the Lord's help. As a good couple we paid our tithing and hoped that everything would work out. The next day,(today) we got up, did our normal morning routine: got ready for the day, ate breakfast, checked emails, checked job websites...etc. I noticed on one of the websites that there was a job for a Flagger-which Logan has his certification for but has never used- and wrote down the address so Logan could go apply as well as to a bunch of other places. Well, what do you know, tithing really does pay off because when Logan went into that company to apply for the Flagging position they hired him on the spot!

We are so grateful for the gospel and the blessings it brings by following the commandments we have been given. After all "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." -anonymous.

However as for me, I'm still on the search, but have some promising avenues.

Adventurous Snowshoeing!!

Logan decided that he needed to pick a new hobby while I was away at school. So he and Todd planned to go snowshoeing one day and Logan had tried to get me to go ever since...

They went to Big Cotton Wood Canyon, trail they went on: Day Pass. They went up about 8:00am, and got home around 2:00pm.

After School Fun

Well, we did it!! We made it through school. I finished on January 21st and came right down to Utah to be with Logan. It is such a wonderful feeling! So the first weekend, we went out with Todd, Meg, and Chloe. We went up to Park City, had dinner, did a little shopping at their outlet stores, and made it to the Burton snowboarding competition. Logan was so excited to be there. But due to the fact that it was freezing up there and traffic was going to be disasterous, we left before it was over. However we had lots of fun hanging out with Todd and the gang.
