Where has the time gone?
I don't really know where the time has gone but I have seriously let this blog go.....so I guess I will try and catch ya'll up on what is going on with us.
Steve and I have moved! Thank goodness! I will do a post on the new house another time. We LOVE where were are. Such a better area and a great landlord.
We both got new callings at church. Steve is Ward Clerk and he is doing really well at that. He was called a couple months ago. I just got called as into the YW presidency as 1st counsellor. Whoa! I know! I am enjoying that but feeling a bit overwhelmed as I am still organizing the Relief Society additional meetings. We are in the midst of planning New Beginning's for the YW and the Relief Society Bday party with in a week of each other. My mind is ALL over the shop!
I have been getting really into baking over the past year and am loving it! I have done a couple goodies for the family and am actually about to do some cupcakes today for church tomorrow.....
This is Dylan's 17th Birthday cake that I made. It was the Avenged Sevenfold band logo and the interior was choc and vanilla marble. He loved it!
I made this red velvet with homemade cream cheese icing for Christmas with Steve's family. It was a hit!
I wanted to experiment with fondant so I made a new years cake to take to Steve's parents on New Years Day.
We moved last May and a couple weeks after that I went home for a 6 week visit! It was great and I got to miss almost all of winter here! I miss home a ton and can't wait til my next visit but I don't know when that will be :( taking donations!
I missed having Steve around since we couldn't afford for him to fly over too, but next time I am def taking him with me!
Since the new year I have joined a new gym and found a new PT. I had tried doing Michelle Bridges' 12 Week Body Transformation. But it wasn't working for me....I need help pushing myself in the gym. I am doing well creating balanced meals with the help of the myfitnesspal app on my phone and my PT. I have done well and lost a bit of weight. This week I thought I would gain or maintain because I had an ingrown toenail removed and couldn't get my shoes on but I have done well and kept eating right. Praying that this time my efforts are going to stick!
Still no job for me, and I was doing school online, unfortunately can't afford to keep going at the moment but hopefully will get back into it soon. I am applying to anything and everything and just having no luck. Praying that one of us finds a job soon. Steve is still working full time at the chicken farms but I am really hoping that he will find something that is a bit better soon.
I am doing twitter now so that I keep up with some of the shows I watch....it is fun tweeting back and forth when the shows are on. Maybe one day I will get my tweet on TV.... a few of the contestants and actors have "followed" me back so that is rather excited. If you have twitter follow me @mjenyns
Don't want this post to get too long and have everyone that doesn't read it loose interest! I will pop up another post about our new place, my trip home, and Christmas soon.

Keep on Keepin On....
I wish I could say to you that I am doing just awesome with the gym and loosing weight....however there was a bit of a set back, I fell at work and broke my wrist! Of course that would be my luck! So for the last 6 weeks I have been doing nothing but legs and the last 2 weeks have been rough because mainly I was getting bored and really loosing motivation! Well the cast is off!! And I went to the gym today and had a good session....and am hoping that now that I can do weights again I will be able to do a bit more variety again. Which is good since I am going to the States in about 6 weeks and I am hoping to loose a bit more weight before I go....mainly just to make the trip more comfortable...nothing like having a waist a little too wide for the plane chair....for 15 hours straight....no thanks. However I am SOOOO unbelievably nervous that I will gain weight while there...due to lack of the gym as well as all that food I miss so much! Hopefully I will do really well and only have a little bit of the things I really miss....and I am hoping it won't be terrible! But won't know til I get back!
I am sooo excited to see everyone though and can't wait. The hardest part is going to be being away from Steve for so long....this is the longest ever....but it will be worth it to get to spend soooo much time at home! Hopefully the next blog post I will be able to report that things are going well...
