So the legistalure session is finished for the year. YAHOO!! With this session there was a lot of talk about state budget cuts. This was something that Tim and I found to be of great interest seeing as how this would effect our financial well being with Tim being employed by the state and all...
Anyway we went to St. George for the weekend and when Time got into work on Monday he had an email from his boss saying that he is safe and will have a job at least through June 2010!! Great news! We are thankful everyday that we both have great jobs and are so blessed. This was most definately an answer to many prayers.
With this good news it also means that Tim is able to start graduate school in the fall. He is taking the GMAT in May and contingent upon that score he will be going to Utah State's extention in Orem for his MBA. Pretty great huh!
As I said before we spent Thursday, Friday,and some of Saturday in St. George. Carson (my little brother) had a baseball tournament and since Tim is the ASSISTANT COACH we thought it would be best to go down. Can I just tell you that it was absolutely fantastic!!! It was so nice to see green and trees with blossoms and feel the sun radiating! It couldn't have been nicer weather. We stayed at my aunt's place so that was free 99 which also can't be beat.
The tournament itself wasn't to good but that doesn't change the fact that I was loving it! I also got my first sunburn of the season which is now peeling but it was well worth it.
Still no pictures because I still just can't get them to work. Hope everyone is doing great!

Where have we been?
Well here it is another long period of time and no update on the amazing life of the Peterson's. How selfish of me to keep so to ourselves. NOT!! As usual our life is still the same. Nothing really new to report. I also haven't posted because I really don't like to post without using pictures and for some reason I can't get the computer and the camera to work together to accomplish the same goal. Who am I kidding, we all know it's the person trying to opperate the computer and camera. So I still can't get the pictures to work but I thought I will just post anyway.
So since the last post I turned the big 2-4! The big day itself was fine. I didn't go to work just because it was my birthday and no one really wants to work on their birthday. I slept in and didn't even shower and get ready until maybe 3:00. What a slob! I took lunch to my mom and Scott. I got a few birthday wishes from friends and family (except for Carson and my dad, real nice guys!). I made a pretty good meal. Then that evening Tim had invited over our families for gifts and dessert. I got a Cricut Expression!! For all of you crafty scrapbookers out there you know these are way cool!! I guess my watching the infamertial over and over sent the hint to Tim. I have used it a little bit but am looking for more ideas of some other things I can do. Great idea sweetie!! Then when I got back to work on Thursday my work had bought me a beautiful buch of flowers. Thanks guys!
Next on the list of events...Valentines day. That holiday at our house isn't to much to talk about. We agreed to not do gifts so I din't do a gift. Tim is still giving me guilt trips, trying to anyway. He got me some flowers and a new scentsy warmer ( we both love our scentsys so much!!) then we went to dinner.
Renee (our sister-in-law) had her baby early. Her name is Eve. She was in the hospital for about a month. She is doing much better now and is finally at home. They love her very much and consider themselves very blessed. Tim and I have not been able to go up and see her yet but hope to soon. We have seen lots of pictures and she looks so sweet. Congratulations to Richie and Renee.
Then Tim's sister Holly had their baby also. They had a baby boy. He is doing great! They named him Aiden Jack (it was going to be Adam but then Eve was born before him and maybe not such a good idea to have an Adam and an Eve). Tim and I got to go see Aiden and Holly in the hospital. He is a doll. He was so precious and very perfect.
It is always fun to see these new little ones. It seems that every time we turn around there is someone else pregnant (but I'm not one of them). What a joyous event!
Now it's March and that's even half way through. Crazy as it is. We had a death in the family the beginning of this month. Buddy Pig our little (when I say little I mean really fat) guinea pig died. We noticed one day that there was lettuce left in the cage and if you know Buddy you know something is not right if there is any reamnent of food left anywhere near him. He also had a very runny nose and crusty watery eyes. He looked very sad. So we just kept an eye on him for a few days. He progressively got worse. He got to the point where he couldn't breath hardly at all, his whole right side didn't work, we don't really know why. It could be any manner of things, the fact that he hadn't had anything to eat or drink in well over a week that maybe he was just so weak that he just couldn't move. He also would only lay in one spot in one position that maybe the right side of his body was just wasted away. Who really knows but whatever it was it wasn't pretty. He lost a lot of weight. It was so sad to see him that way without any life at all and couldn't even move his head to see you coming or couldn't make any noise when he heard the vegetable bag ruffle. Anyway we kinda said our good-byes on Sunday thinking that we would wake up in the morning to a much happier pig. That wasn't the case. We left for work Monday. I didn't think I would see him again when I left. Tim got home at 5:00 and he was still with us. He sat with him for a minute and went to shave. He went back after shaving and he had gone. Coincidence that he waited for Tim? We would like to belive that it wasn't but maybe a tender mercy from the Lord (cheesy at it may sound). What a great pig! We loved him lots and miss him.
Well not more then a couple of days and we brought Moose into our lives! Not as a repacement pig but just as an addition to our family. Moose is tiny compared to Buddy and now even Boozer looks huge. Moose is somewhere between 6 and 10 weeks old. He is completely opposite of Buddy. He has a lot of life, he runs around, he talks all the time, he has also made Boozer a lot more fun. We love Moose a lot already. I suprised Tim with little Moose. He was very happy. Now we feel a little more back to normal. Even though it was very sad to see Buddy struggle and pass on we are having a lot of fun with Moose and are excited to have lots of years with the 2 pigs.
So that's about all that is going on with us and our lives. Kinda a lot and most of it nothing that any of you care about especially without pictures, but at least I got a post done!
