FINALLY Happy!!

So since we have moved to this island it has been a struggle to find a vehicle for my husband and myself to be happy with! First it started out with a $4,000 honda civic, which was a very cute and nice car but with no room and not to "manly" for Trent. So then we went on to making the dumbest decision ever and buying a 2008 Chevy Colorado (only 2wd). Trent liked the manly part but I for one couldn't stand the $400 payments per month! So we got rid of that (and lost ALOT of money on it) and was down to my saturn for a couple weeks. We looked on Craigs list probably 3 times a day, and finally found the truck that was made for my husband! We found a 1986 Ford Ranger that was 4wd and had Trents name written all over it, but the best part was that it was only $400!!!! So we both found something we are happy with and learned a very very valuable lesson!! NEVER impulse buy!!

Its a monster! We are both very excited to go play in the sand and mud with it! But the best part is not having a car payment for a long, long time!!

Worlds Worst Blogger!!

I know, I know!! I am the worst blogger, but its hard to blog when nothing really exciting happens!! We are doing good, and still getting use to the Army lifestyle but we really love it here and have made some great friends!!

Anyways, Trent got assigned to his unit and he really enjoys it but it worked to the bone everyday! He found out a couple weeks ago that he will be deployed to India for a month sometime this summer, and depolyed to Iraq or Afghanistan for a year next spring. It was really hard finding that all out the same day, but I know everything will be alright!! I am still looking for a job and getting more and more frustrated as the weeks go on, but I know that I will find something!!!Me and Trent have been meeting with the bishop and are planning on getting sealed in december when we come home! We are really excited and looking forward to the furture!!
We don't really do anything exciting! We go to the beach about every other weekend but Trent gets really bored sitting, so we took up a new hobby. We have been going bowling alot and the base has a really fun bowling alley!!

Last night we watched our friends little boy while they went to the movie, and Trent is making me very baby hungry!! I went to rent movies and when I got home this is what i found....


They played so hard that they both just crashed!! Trent is really good with kids, and I know when the time comes for us to start a family he is going to be a great dad!!!




Sorry about the horrible pics, but I lost my camera!! But that all that has really gone on since I last posted. I will really try to keep it better updated, and I hope I find my camera so I wont have boring blogs! We love and miss everyone at home!!! xoxoxoxo
