<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: orange;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Matt and I
went to Virginia a few weeks ago to visit the Montoya side. We both very much
enjoyed not doing homework or going to work. Most days consisted of Running and
Swimming, which we don’t normally get to do so it was great. We went to Grant’s
high school graduation and went running with him. We played a lot with Logan-
who referred to himself as “the doggy”. He always wanted to eat his meals on
the floor as a dog would haha. We went with Cindy and Logan to Washington DC
where we went to the Smithsonian museum and looked at all of the beautiful
artwork for my entertainment and for Matt’s entertainment we went to the
natural history museum and watched a 3D flying dinosaur movie. I found out he
was obsessed with dinosaurs when he was little…and now still maybe? Haha… We
went running with Frank and he smoked both Matt and I. We were happy though for
Grant and Frank to whip us into shape. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Matt’s
parents went to the Washington DC temple with us to do a session and Matt and I
got to be the witness couple for the first time so that was great. We also went
to an amazing Brazilian restaurant that tasted heavenly. It was all you can eat
and servers would bring hot meat by and you could pick what you wanted. The
limeade was also heavenly.<span> </span>Our trip also
consisted of shopping, reading, playing the electric guitar (which matt is very
excited to be taking home with us to play and record.), watching movies and playing
ninjas with Logan. We had a great time and hope to be able to go back sometime
soon! We are grateful my aunt and uncle Josh and Erin Volmer drove us to the
airport and saved us money for parking at their house instead of the car
garage!</span></span></div>

A’s this year in Graduate school and is glad it will be over for the summer.
I’m proud of him for working so hard even with me always trying to get him to
hang out with me when I was bored! But he is very disciplined.<span> </span>He plans on finding a job in these next few
weeks. I Go back to work tomorrow also… the countdown is officially on for the

We went to Rexburg and had a great time visiting my sisters and Matt and I's friends and old roommates. And yes, I cut all my hair off while I was there just to try something new. I was a little scared to do it but I went ahead and did it anyways. Matt has asked me to cut his hair also. I wasn't very good but I'm getting better and he still makes me do it. I've learned he doesn't like it when I say "I'm going to try something new this time." or "oops"...hahaha</div>

I couldn't find a good full time job in Ellensburg so at the end of March I moved to Richland with my family to work as a receptionist at the Tri-City Orthopedic Clinic. (AKA Dr. Hazel's office) It's been a lot to remember and we are very busy making appointments and getting authorizations for insurances etc. But it's been a good learning experience for me and it's helped to pay of graduate program loans as well. Matt would live in Ellensburg and go to school and be the apartment manager. He came home on Thursdays around dinner time to live in Richland with me and would go back to Ellensburg Monday mornings to go back to school. It wasn't very fun being a part so much but we are glad he is done with this year of school so we don't have to be apart! We are staying here for the summer to work. </div>

Matt got to go to our Friends' wedding in Georgia last weekend! Devyn and Will Geirke got married and he had so much fun being with friends and watching the sealing. I was sad I couldn't get work off and had to miss it but he was nice and took pictures for me. And thank you Frank for letting him use your frequent flier miles. He wouldn't have been able to go without them and he had a blast. </div>

Matt was called as the Young Men's Secretary in the first few weeks we moved here. I was called a few weeks ago to the Primary teaching the 4 year old kids....It's really cool how it worked out that even though we moved away from Ellensburg, we were still called to almost the same callings we had while we were there! We try to go to the temple ever week or so. It's really brought us closer together and we love going.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #4c1130;">

<div style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #4c1130;">
We are very VERY excited to get to go to Virginia this coming Saturday for a whole week to visit the Montoya family! We're happy we will get to see Matt's brother, Grant, graduate. But that will be in our next update!</div>

So where did we leave off...?<br />

It was full of crazy amounts of family. We got some cool stuff for Christmas and had fun staying up late, talking, playing games and as you can see below, playing video games haha :)<br />

We went to Virginia after Christmas to visit the Montoya's! <br />
We went to the Washington D.C Temple. It was lit up and decorated like Temple square in Salt Lake City which was very neat to see.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU_EKzEoL66I35TiRZ5b7GPqnGa4rukRqzyOCIFH8g3n8Bh2YrnWZE7P7iObNcQ86OQB-jK0cOf47QWr0nqWuU2hdGHkn6Qc7h_Nf4iIlIu1Da_lwiGEYryYZ7YuvYlvIJneEpag05d-IM/s1600/PC281968.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU_EKzEoL66I35TiRZ5b7GPqnGa4rukRqzyOCIFH8g3n8Bh2YrnWZE7P7iObNcQ86OQB-jK0cOf47QWr0nqWuU2hdGHkn6Qc7h_Nf4iIlIu1Da_lwiGEYryYZ7YuvYlvIJneEpag05d-IM/s200/PC281968.JPG" width="200" /></a></div> It was great going in and doing a session with Mom and Dad Montoya too. We did a lot of other fun things like going to national monuments in Washington D.C. and museums as well. Little Logan was hilarious and always made us laugh. He has a cute personality. It was nice to be able to hangout with Grant for a little bit since he was at a soccer tournament. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0dKXCq-L3N-4QaEwWzVk2PE6wFGOAucON_Os2Ju-qz-7h4Gvxk2NHjCRdzmbJtFc3EQxu62WdLa4KuHYm-IV7pxB3hkhE1y23UQQr50RwTnoLE4HXxWl2Pey7PrG-hmnWkEzNJ8V_nf6t/s1600/PC301989.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0dKXCq-L3N-4QaEwWzVk2PE6wFGOAucON_Os2Ju-qz-7h4Gvxk2NHjCRdzmbJtFc3EQxu62WdLa4KuHYm-IV7pxB3hkhE1y23UQQr50RwTnoLE4HXxWl2Pey7PrG-hmnWkEzNJ8V_nf6t/s320/PC301989.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Frank and Cindy spoiled us on our visit there as well. We played games, went out to eat, watched movies and shopped.<br />
<br />
When we returned from our great journey back to Washington we became boring again...Matt started his second quarter of Graduate school at Central Washington. He has two classes that he goes to 4 times a week: Jane Austin class and a Creative writing class also. He enjoys them and we have spent many of our evenings watching pride and prejudice, Emma, sense and sensibility, etc.<br />

Matt has been working with the teachers and I've been working with the 3 and 4 year-old primary children. Both are just about the same amount of crazy I think! Matt has a kid with attention disorders and has to keep him still. The boy chose Matt as his favorite and follows him around.<br />
<br />
I've been cleaning like crazy with my job. It's been hard on my body but a good workout too! I still work at Real Deals (the home decor store) and love creating the displays when I get the chance. We went to the Columbia River temple In the Tri-cities last weekend and it was great to see more family.<br />

<br />
We are looking forward to next weekend when our friends Will Geirke and Devyn LaFrance (soon to be Devyn Geirke) come to visit for a few days. Hopefully that will get us up out of this dreary winter feel here in Ellensburg. The snow is melting slowly so that is great!<br />

We've been having a great time in the cold Ellensburg these past few weeks. Here is what we did:<br />

It was the college student cheap way with gram crackers and frosting! It was a fun activity and we watched Elf again while we made them. Matt laughs so hard at that movie every single time haha... We both love it.<br />

Last weekend we drove to Richland to watch my sister Lenise's show choir performance. It was really good. She sang 'O Holy Night' at it and was SO amazing. We were glad we decided to go because it was worth it.<br />
<br />
We got tired of no heater because we were freezing all day so we decided to leave it at a low temperature and even that helped a lot so we are staying warmer then usual!<br />
<br />
This last Sunday we 'Ovoo'ed our friends Brittanee, Devyn, Will, and Suzi all at the same time! Technology is so great that even though all of us are in different places, we can still stay in contact and have fun together.<br />
<br />
On Monday we went to Sherlock Holmes 2 which we were super excited to see! It was great just so you know and we both recommend it to anyone who wants to see a good movie.<br />
<br />
We JUST got our wedding pictures in the mail so to all of you who wanted some from me: They are coming! I hung some up yesterday and love them. Thanks Sharee your a great photographer :)<br />

We are so excited and have a few presents under out paper-made Christmas tree. Then the 26th we fly off to Virginia!! which is exciting because we haven't been able to see Matt's family since the wedding. Also we plan on going to Washinton DC and going to some sites there along with the DC temple too so we are really looking forward to going to visit the Montoya family.<br />
<br />
Well I hope you all have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year also. We are so happy to know all of you and are grateful for your support and love towards us.<br />
<br />
We LOVE you!<br />

Being as the only stores we have here are FredMyer, SafeWay, and a grocery store we have to drive 30 minutes to a Target or Wal-Mart and 40 minutes to a Mall. So it's made things a little difficult but hopefully we'll make a trip to Yakima to go Christmas shopping soon!<br />
<br />
This week Matt turned in his last final papers for his first quarter of grad school and is now VERY happy to be free to read, work out, play the guitar and make Christmas cookies with me to take to the neighbors (we did that for family night tonight)<br />
<br />
On Saturday we drove to Leavenworth. There were about 1000 people there and it was packed. We all gathered together and sang Christmas songs and did a count down for them to light the whole town. It was beautiful with all the trees, and shops lit up. We met up with some distant relatives of mine there and they showed us around.<br />
<br />
We are excited to be getting to know our ward better. Matt had 3 hours of meetings thought this Sunday about scouts that I think he got a little bored at... hahaha...<br />
<br />
Well we'll update you all later! Have a great week!<br />

<br />
A pretty uneventful week for us here in Ellensburg. We came to the realization that there's less to do in Ellensburg than there was in Rexburg! One bowling alley... a theater.. that's about it. For everything else we have to drive to Yakima. They have food and ice cream places though so we went to Dairy Queen on Thursday and on Friday we went to Fred Meyer and walked around for an hour or so.. .Which was more fun than we thought it would be. We also got Netflix for 1 month free to keep us occupied, and there's a couple from another ward that are organizing get-togethers for married students this month so maybe we'll make some friends... That would be good. And we're getting together with a nice couple this weekend that I met at school.<br />
<br />
We've also been going to institute, and that's been a lot of fun. Classes are over for the quarter though so we'll have to get a little more creative. I have a week left to finish my two term papers but I won't bore you with the details of them. Leisha's been working and decorating our apartment nicely for Christmas time. Other than that we're looking forward to going to Richland the week of Christmas and then Virginia the day after Christmas.<br />
<br />
Have a good week!<br />
<br />

This past week has been a little crazy for us! Here is why:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I had on red lipstick!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>Last Saturday Matt and I decided that for our date we would go sledding at night time like we used to in Rexburg. We drove about 15 minutes away from our apartment to the sledding hill we heard of. The roads were icy and we slowly slipped across the other lane and into the ditch!!! Don't worry, we were fine and the car wasn't damaged either. We slid pretty slow. So we waited for the tow truck to come and we got towed out of the ditch! It was quite the adventure I must say...<br />

</tbody></table>Matt and I have been cooking together every night to master a few of our favorite meals. We've discovered homemade sweet and sour chicken, stir fry and Fried chicken. We now know it's better if you make it and decided to never buy it at a restaurant again!<br />
<br />

The night before thanksgiving I talked Matt into stop doing his homework for a few hours and we went rollerskating with my family and kids from our ward! It was hard to master rollerskating instead of rollerblading but we caught on eventually. Luckily we didn't have too hard of falls!<br />
Thanksgiving was fun! My Grandma Volmer reserved the Stake center for the family and we played basketball, dodge ball, other games, cooked and ate the Thanksgiving feast! There was also a talent show and lots of pie!<br />
<br />
Matt has 2 weeks left of the quarter and has been working like crazy on his final papers he has to write. The day before Thanksgiving he got up at 6am and did his homework until 6:30 pm....we went skating...and he came home and did More from 8:30 to 11! So he's crazy busy with that!<br />
<br />
We drove home late on Thanksgiving evening and I woke up at 4am to be at work for black Friday! I worked for 12 hours at the store and cleaning that day and we still went to Yakima to return some things and go shopping! After we were done shopping at Target we went out to find our car. "that's our car" Matt said. "no it's not it has a white line on the side. we don't have that" I told him...come to find out someone Keyed our car in a perfect line on each side of the car, making it look like it was supposed to be there... We asked a patrol cop to help us and he said there's nothing we could do. So that was upsetting but at least it's on both sides and at least it is completely straight! At first Matt was like "wasn't that there before?" haha that tells you how normal it looks I guess!<br />
<br />
We went out to get a Christmas tree yesterday and were surprised at the cost! We settled for some Christmas lights and put them up in our living room and watched the movie ELF to be a little festive!<br />
<br />
We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are doing great! We'll update you soon<br />

This week has been pretty busy for us. Matt has lots of homework, projects and presentations to work on. As for me, I've been cleaning lots of houses, working at the decorating store and getting another apartment ready for renting! So we've been pretty busy.<br />
<br />
We are very excited that I got work off the week after Christmas! This means we get to go Virginia to visit the Montoya Clan :) We've been talking about it a lot.<br />
We should be out making more friends but we're pretty content just skyping some of our best friends from college: Will Gierke and Devyn Lafrance. We laugh pretty hard talking to them every week.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcqAAbR1NMRjIxND-9eSQZARa2p-Bi1U_MC5a2FaZQc9jOizYRvlQICuG4s-PNSio5dWYFMUrtF7QZnYKHB_0eidMtCOVHn79_mYd90eZKqXWzyW1-GSVk26W09BKglkdeYoMKWeRfEtB/s1600/P1030312.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcqAAbR1NMRjIxND-9eSQZARa2p-Bi1U_MC5a2FaZQc9jOizYRvlQICuG4s-PNSio5dWYFMUrtF7QZnYKHB_0eidMtCOVHn79_mYd90eZKqXWzyW1-GSVk26W09BKglkdeYoMKWeRfEtB/s320/P1030312.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
I've found out that Matt is a really good natural cook. He just made up his own sweat and sour chicken recipe that was amazing and some stir fry the other day too. So i'm pretty lucky to eat some good quality food.<br />
<br />
I went Elk hunting with my parents last week and my mom got a cow elk!<br />
<br />
This is a picture of our apartment complex that we manage. It's little but it's fun to live here :)<br />

This week we had Halloween, and we dressed up as Alice and the Mad Hatter. Everyone says that I don't look very happy in the pictures but that's because the white makeup made my teeth look really yellow so I couldn't smile crazily like I should have...<br />

So there's that. We went to watch Harry Potter 7.2 in those costumes, they were showing it on campus.<br />
<br />
Friday night we went to the Olive Garden in Yakima and it was a party. Other than that, we had some friends over last night to play games, it's the first time we've had people over. It was pretty fun, but we still need to make more friends. <br />
<br />
I've been doing a lot of homework this week, and Leisha's been working her two jobs and really likes the home decorating job. She wants to open up her own business someday. She also went elk hunting with her parents and they shot a big elk!<br />
<br />
We are having fun and learning lots. Until next time,<br />

So what have we been up to since we've been married? Well I'll tell you...<br />
<br />
Matt and I have been apartment managers so we've been cutting trees, raking pine needles, painting apartments and taking rents.<br />
Matt has been going to school at Central Washington University and really likes his classes. He has lots of homework but usually gets enough done to still play with me :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One day while walking to our car we found that we had a pumpkin/squash patch behind the apartment complex.Our boss said it was ours if we wanted it so we picked the 2 green pumpkins and carved them for Family Night! We also picked the squash...at least that's what we think it is. I cooked it once and made zucchini bread out of it once too so we're not sure what it is!<br />
We carved our pumpkins into Calvin and Hobbes!<br />
We went to Richland this last weekend and dressed up as my dad (the bishop) at the ward Halloween party!<br />
<br />
I've been working 2 jobs: I clean houses and offices for a cleaning company and I also work at a home decorating store called Real Deals.<br />
<br />

It went pretty well I think!<br />
<br />
Tonight for Halloween we're going to go watch Harry Potter 7 Part 2 at the campus theater, make caramel apples and hopefully dress up some crazy way. We'll put up pictures next week!<br />
<br />
Talk to you all later<br />
