The First..... Hair cut that is

So Dan and I decided to try to save a few dollars and buy hair clippers. So I cut his hair for the first time yesterday..... I thought it looked pretty good but there is definitely room for improvement. Needs to be a little longer on the top but it will grow!

Three Months

The last few weeks have been busy with Dan filling out applications for internship and just keeping up with life. This weekend we decided to take it "easy" and do something fun. Friday we went to dinner and a movie to celebrate our three month anniversary.. (I know we are old folks now). We saw "He's Just Not That Into You". Take my opinion for what it is worth but I really didn't like it. The language was not the best and everything was sexually related in some way. We should have realized that before going into the movie but oh well. In between dinner and a movie we had some time to stop by and play the Wii with some friends, Derek and Michelle. Then Saturday we went bowling with D&M. It was so much fun. I beat Dan too.... he thought he would beat me because he has been practicing on the Wii...... :) And all he says is "You always beat me at everything" Maybe I'll ease up on him next time only if he is lucky :)

The semester is almost over which will be nice to have a week to spend with Dan. Then he starts his last semester. After that we are not sure where we will be but hopefully we will know soon. We do know Rexburg will be our home until he finds a job though.

New stuff

So I thought I would update my blog a little to show you what I have been up to. I had an old roommate inspire me to start using my sewing machine even though my mom has been trying to get me to use it for years.

And I also cut my hair so here is a picture of that!

What are your motives?

Well this week has been busy but everyday I see so many blessings that the Lord has given to our family. It is amazing. One of the blessings is that I have such a wonderful husband! He is so supportive or everything.

One of the other blessings is the wonderful job that I have. This week I had a meeting about phone etiquette/customer service (seems funny since I have been at my job for almost a year you would think I would know how to answer a phone). It was to help improve my skills.

The speaker talked about service and told us that he read in a book by Ernest Becker that we serve ourselves 99.9% of the time. (Imagine... we only serve others .1% of the time.. WOW) Well he then shared a story about some service he had given. To sum it up he had applied to start a second job (which he thought was paid) as an Institute teacher on BYU-I campus. He thought it would be nice to have some extra money since Christmas would be coming. Come to find out the position wasn't paid of which he was disappointed. He decided he would do it anyway and prayed that he wouldn't receive any kind of blessing and he would do it because he wanted to serve. At the beginning of each semester he would pray that he wouldn't get any blessings and he was doing it because he loved the Lord and also loved those he taught. He explained that he saw miracles happen those few years that he taught.

As I was thinking about this I asked myself "What are my motives in doing service". Is it because I love the people I am serving or is it because I was recognition. For those that read my blog I ask you the same question.. What are your motives in serving?
