Let's just say... we are going to have more pumpkins!!!! : )

How grateful we are!

I just finished going through our finances and I'm happy to see the blessings of Heavenly Father in our lives. I almost can't believe the numbers that I'm seeing. I'm grateful for all the grants, scholarships, and the opportunity to attend Brigham Young University (BYU). I'm grateful for the tithe payers that made possible the excellent inexpensive schooling that Emily and I have received. With both of our bachelors in science (BS) and Emily's $7500 internship by the time I start dental school we would only have close to a $3000 debt all together. I appreciate Emily helping me live a frugal life and a life within our means. We don't have fancy cars (nor a car payment), or cool phones or texting for that matter, but we do have peace of mind. Especially that neither of us is working (Emily is working for free), I can definitely see the blessings of tithing. We have everything that we need and some of the things we want, but keeping everything in perspective has been crucial. For some people paying 10% of their income might be hard or almost impossible, but for us it has been proven to be a blessing beyond measure. We don't feel poor at all, but rich in blessings. We are very happy!

Let him be little!!

Luke is pretty smart! No that I want to brag or anything... maybe just a little. Bye bye sippy cups and diapers!

Just kidding, he is still using diapers, it is a work on process though. Since he was a little sick we didn't work on it. He really doesn't like his sippy cup now. He wants a glass so we've been giving him a plastic glass and he does pretty well.

Here is a video that my cousin Steph, who lives in Miami, shared with me. I really liked this video.

Luke is growing so fast and I want him to be little for a little longer at least. I love him so much and I feel so blessed that I can be his dad.

Here is a video of Luke saying no!
