Yay for nothing!

Well, not a lot has been going on in Tyson and I's lives. Just the usual work and school. But, I did finally turn 21! The only really exciting thing is I can now book hotels from priceline.com! Wahoo! I finally got my wisdom teeth out. I didn't go under, I was just numb and I was freaking out! As soon as they started the actual removal I was fine. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Hm, what else?? October was good to us. Tyson's grandma let us use her car and paid for our gas as a birthday gift and we went to Salt Lake to surprise his family and it was SO much fun! They had no idea! Our best friends got married! It was such a special day and we're so happy we were able to be a part of their big day!! Congrats again Josh and Michele! We also had a really awesome Halloween party (at which i couldn't eat any snacks because of the removal of my wisdom teeth the day before). November hasn't brought on much yet except no shave, which isn't going on in our household (luckily!). Tyson's parents and siblings will be down for Thanksgiving and we're all getting antsy!! I'm super excited for Black Friday as well. Even if I can't buy anything for myself haha. December is the month I'm really looking forward to right now. Not the cold aspect, but there are so many exciting things coming our way! Tyson's best friend Wolfe will be home from his mission, so will our friend Aaron! I can't wait! School will be over with and words simply can't explain how happy this makes me! The stress is killing me. Tyson, Tavin, and I are all packing our bags and heading to Salt Lake for Christmas and possibly New Years. It'll be a mini vacation for us. I'm hoping that my brother and his family will be able to come to Salt Lake from Wyoming and spend a day or two with us. It seems like I haven't seen them in years (it hasn't even been one year!). January also brings some excitement. I found out a secret today that I sadly can't tell... I know so many awesome young women leaving for their missions and I am so proud of every single one. And last, Tyson and I's best friend ever is returning from his mission as well!!! Words really can't express how happy I am about this one! I can't believe it has been two years! Well, that's all that I have for now. I won't post about politics or anything of the sort. I hope all of your holiday endeavors bring you joy and happiness!

The Untold Adventures of Tyson and Lacey

I know, you're probably wondering where we have been?! Thats what i'm here to tell you :).
It has really been a long time, and a lot has happened since January so i'll do my best to make it brief. 
First, Amber Lyn shut down in St. George and is now partnered with Utah Truffles. I stayed so i lost my job. Tysons family all moved up with the company and are now located in Herriman, Utah (right by the Up house!). All except Tavin, who moved in with Tyson and I until December. Tyson got a job at Johansens Pool Service and it has really good pay. I now work at a company called Bed Defense and I am the shipping supervisor! We both started college in August and its really hard to try and work, go to school, AND pay the bills, but we're slowly figuring it out! No babies yet, but we'll see where that goes. We're not really sure if we want one now or if we still want to wait, you know, with the whole college thing and all. 

Life has been an absolute roller coaster ride lately! I can't believe another year has come and gone. Tyson and I also had the opportunity to be sealed in the St. George Temple in April for time and all eternity. It was the best day of my life. It was so amazing and spiritual. I love him so much! Oh! We also have callings in our ward! Tyson in Assistant Scout Master/YM Secretary, and I am the YW Secretary. I LOVE my YW! They are so amazing and fun and uplifting! I'm so grateful for my calling and our ward!! Life is going great though. Our best friends Josh and Michele are getting married, there are tons of little ones being born from our friends and family, and we're making new friends as the year goes on. 

I'm sure everyone has heard of the Santa Clara flooding by now, and Tyson and I are going tomorrow to volunteer to help with clean-up. I'm super excited. I love helping out and this situation has been especially humbling to me. It really makes me grateful for all of the things I have. 

Also, I cut my hair again. (short, short)

Bye!

Lately..

So to start, I went back to the factory full time and quit at the bakery. I just wasnt getting enough hours there anymore. That has been hard to adjust to again but it'll be nice to have a steady paycheck! Life as been dizzy lately. So many unexpected things have happened. My old best friends little brother died on December 28th. I grew up with this family and have known them forever. Clay was like a little brother to me. I love him so much and can't believe he's gone. Its been such a shock. He had a beautiful funeral though. It was very.. 'Clay' lol. Then on December 31st, my bishops wife Karleen passed away as well. This was very disheartening to me because she was such an inspiration to me. Karleen and Val were such a perfect example of what a husband and wife should be. Everytime we'd talk to him, he would ask Ty if he was treating me like a queen. Every time without fail. I know thats how he treated Karleen as well. I love Karleen and Clay so much and I know they're happier now and we'll see them again someday. But death is never an easy thing.

Other than that we have just been working. I really want to go to school and become a photographer or a wedding planner. I think both would be awesome careers. Tyson starts fire academy on the 24th! Can't wait! He will be going every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 10:00pm. then every other Saturday from 8:30 to 6:00pm. I think he will be graduating in June, then he'll be able to take an EMT class. All for free might I add! We're both super excited. The chief told all of the members of the academy that they pretty much have the position at the station they were assigned after they graduate. But they have to be volunteer for a certain amount of time before they can get on full time. I just hope its sooner rather than later!

Basically life is overall pretty good. :) Also, my sister had her baby on Christmas Eve! A beautiful baby boy, 5 pounds 11 ounces, 19 inches. His name is Donaven :)
