WOW 

Has life changed in the past 3 months!! 

here are some updates on the Erickson duo! :)

Matthew is no longer a CNA. he decided he no longer wants to be a nurse- so he quit there. and in March he started working at Vivint!For those who haven't heard of vivint, it is a security and home automation company!

He started out in tech support-helping customers with their 'technical' problems when they call in to the call center.. but now he has transferred to field support! so now he helps the installers with setting up the accounts. its a much easier job than tech support. he is working 40 hour weeks most of the time- this week they needed people to pick up extra shifts so matt work like a 56 hour week this week! he's working so hard and i love him so much for it!

I also got a job at vivint! I quit the retail job at shade because i wasn't getting enough hours there. shortly after quitting I applied at vivint and got the job :) i am working in the technical support and customer service department. i am only working 24 hour weeks.

I am also working my nanny job that i started last august. boy do i love this kid. he brightens my day. this is andrew - i love being paid to play like a kid.

Andrew will start kindergarten in the fall so this summer will be my last time nannying him! It will be sad when i'm done! but for now i'm trying to enjoy every minute of it. even if it means waking up early 4 times a week!

This week i start summer classes at Utah Valley University! I'm way excited. For those who don't know-i took the fall and winter off of school to get in-state tuition at uvu.so i havent taken classes for a year! i'm ready to go back for sure. I'm only taking 2 classes so i'll be able to keep both my jobs :) I'll be one busy girl for the next 8 weeks! wish me luck :)

Also- Aly had her baby March 1st!!! SO happy she is here in provo with me! while she was on maternity leave i visited them all the time! :)he is THE cutest baby ever. today i visited them and he was talking to me in his baby jibber! it was the cutest thing. love this kid. 

Also, Mason came to utah for a few days for a college visit! it was so good to see him. can't wait for him to be at byu in june!!! Love him!

Elder Marstella's birthday was april 16th! look how happy he was to get his present! he is doing SO well in the Dominican Republic. can  you believe next month it will be a year since he left?! that means he is HALFWAY DONE! we get to see him in 1 year!!! can't believe how fast time has gone by!!!!! boy do i miss him <3

So we are loving our neighbors and our ward! Matt hasn't gotten a calling yet-but i got one! i'm the assistant girls camp director! so it looks like ill be going back to girls camp! im so excited! the young women are super sweet in our ward. i cant wait to get to know them more!

Also, i'm considering getting highlights again for the summer! what do you think?!

i'm leaning towards yes :)

So as you can see- life is pretty crazy! we don't get to spend too much time together-but when we do have time together, we cherish it. :) So happy i get to be with this man for eternity. 

:) He is perfect. absolutely perfect. always treating me like a queen! I'm the luckiest girl in the world!

thanks for reading the update on our perfectly wonderful life:)

two and a half months down, eternity to go!

 I threw a baby shower for my beautiful sister! Her due date is February 26, but really he could come any time now!!!! and that means my mom will be here soon too! my mom AND a nephew! SOO excited!!

Matt and I made this silhouette of Aly for her as a gift! Isn't that neat?! it looks exactly like her!

Those are just a few of the wonderful things we have been doing! We are staying busy with work! I now have 3 jobs! 2 that are nanny-ing, and I am still working at Shade. We are loving life and each other! Matt is working as a CNA still, as a home health aid. He has about 28 visits a week! LOTS of driving for him! We are living in Orem, UT in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment. We both plan on starting up school again in August! Surprisingly enough-I'm excited for school! :)

Next weekend I get to see my bestfriend JEN THOMAS! and the weekend after that the Tidwell Family is coming to Utah and we will get to meet our adorable nephew graham! AND my sister will be having her baby anytime now!! such an exciting month!!!!

Well, that is all for now!
