I am blessed! I have been blessed with so much more than I deserve. Life is great...no, life is fabulous! Heavenly Father is there for each and every one of us, constantly! We just have to let Him in and turn to Him when we need Him. Seriously...how blessed are we to have this AMAZING gospel? To have the knowledge we have, to know the truth and to know we can make it through life because we are not going to feel sorrow, pain, and all those "unfun" feelings we feel, for the rest of our lives. Those feelings will end, so long as we are faithful to our Heavenly Father and live the best lives we can live. There is such a big, wonderful picture in mind! Life is only a little test, definitely one that will be worth passing! So don't give up! If you are faced with something that seems too hard to handle, get on your knees and pray! You will make it through! Heavenly Father knows each of us better than anyone, he knows what we can and cannot handle, and he won't give us anything we can't handle. Example? Okay.
Remember how a month or so ago I was SUUUUPER excited I got the job at ICON. Well, my friends, it was a lot harder than I ever expected it to be. People are mean, and I have a soft heart so I sometimes let it get to me even though it was nothing towards me personally, just someone upset that their very expensive equipment was not working for them. But still, I had a hard time. I starting LIVING for the weekends and as soon as the weekend ended I was sick to my stomach and it was just a bad deal. I would get nervous as I drove to work and as I answered phone calls. It shouldn't be that way. So, I started looking for something new. I know, I had only been at ICON for a short time...but I'm not a quitter. I stuck it out until I KNEW I had a new job. And it was hard to do for that long. But I did. And trust me people, if you had a job that made you not want to go to sleep at night because sleeping makes the next day come faster, you'd do the same. Anyways...I now get to work at a day care! I am SO stoked! And at this day care I get to do preschool lessons! Um hello, that's what I want to do! And I haven't even graduated from college yet. But, I will in April! :) And then I can get my CAD, Child's Associate Degree. And I don't have to pay for it! Helllllllooooo! Score! With that certificate I can do even more with kid's than what I'm already lucky enough to do! Oh oh oh! And I don't have to worry about working on Saturday's or holidays! Which was a concern with the other. Let's just say I'm pretty much excited!
Today was my last day at ICON. And I had the perfect call to end my job there. I was speaking with a man from Arkansas. And he asked where we are located, so I told him---Logan, Utah. He snickered and was like "Oh that's Mormonville there huh?" I laughed and said it sure was! He then proceeded to ask me if I was LDS. I proudly said I was. And THEN...he said he was too!!! Do you realize how HAPPY this made me?!? No wonder he was one of my nicer customers! Like I said, he was in Arkansas, and I have no connections with Arkansas whatsoever but he told me that the church is growing pretty quick there and it made me smile sooooo big and it just made my whole entire day! Oh missionary work, how I love you! I am so excited to serve a mission with Kohn when we are old geezers! :)
Oh I'm so excited to love my job! I'm excited to not have dramatic break downs every Monday night! I'm excited to be sleeping at 4 am!!! Yesssss! Life is grand, my friends.
I am happy. I suppose it TIS the season to be jolly! :) I'm ecstatic to spend my Christmas with my husband! Our apartment is getting all decorated up for the holiday season, we be loving it! But, it still has boxes and bags all over. There is no room to put anything. One day...one day, soon, we will get it all taken care of so that I really can post pictures of our cute apartment! Preferably with our Christmas decorations all over! :) We have 4 presents wrapped and under the tree so far, and wouldn't you know it, they are all for Kohn! Haha I love Christmas shopping, what can I say! Oh, we went to Forgotten Carols last night! I'm pretty sure it was my first time seeing it, however my parents told me I've seen it before. I don't think so though. Anyway, I loved what I saw last night! The music was great, I was in love with Jordan Bluffs, or whatever his last name was, voice! I want the CD! And I'm excited to go again next year!
Well, now I am going to wrap this up and go clean mi casa. Because I want to post pictures and I want it to be CLEAN! Off to be a good wifey! :)

I am thankful for....chicken?
Alright, I'm braggin. Spanish Chicken-turned out DELISH! The White Chicken Chili---also quite fabulous! And the meal last night...Poppyseed Chicken, fluff (a mandarin orange salad), veggies, and rolls...fantastic! I think we like chicken. Haha just a lot! It's Friday now soooo, it's date night! So my dear husband is going to treat me to a delicious dinner at Rumbi's, which is a favorite memory and favorite food place if you all remember! First date, delicious food....mmmmhmmm.! Excited to go back! :)
Wanna know what else is exciting?! Okay, I'll tell ya! Next semester I only need to take 5 classes...and then I should be good to go to graduate with my associates degree in April! :) yessss! And then...well I won't bring up what the options after that are until a few things do or don't happen. Just cross your fingers that they do happen, and maybe say a lil prayer for me. Please and thanks :)
Homework is a drag. And to just make it even better...I was getting ready to do my science lab, that is due tonight, at 11. But then I pulled it up and it wasn't downloadable or anything like that, and instructions said to print it and then scan it and submit the copy in the assignments tab...well folks, we don't have a printer! Isn't this just dandy? Maybe I'll just take the grade cut...ugh. How inconvenient. Plus, I am in the "computer room" while Kohn is out at the kitchen table studying his little heart out. This is not fair, I just want to be spending a good Friday evening with him! Oh well, we are leaving for dinner at 7! I can make it!
Next week is Thanksgiving, and I am excited for all the pumpkin goodness that is coming my way! I love pumpkin! Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin bars, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin shakes, and there's a pumpkin ice cream that is a seasonal thing I guess? Count me in! That's definitely something I've got to try! But my point of bringing up pumpkins...begins with Thanksgiving. And I just wanted to make a list of some of the things that I'm thankful for. So here goes!
Thankful for #1: My incredible husband, Kohn! He is my rock. He helps me keep my chin up and stay positive when times are tough. He makes me feel like the most important person in the world. I am a stubborn person. If Kohn and I have a little misunderstanding he is always the first one to say sorry. He always fixes things and he is amazing. He is my best friend. And I am thankful I get to be with him for forever.
Thankful for #2: My daddio. Dad knows best. Being stubborn I never admitted it before, but I have learned through the years that my dad has been led by the spirit as he has raised my siblings and I. I can always tell when my dad is proud of me. And I am thankful I have known many times in my life that he is. I am grateful for his love and that he is so understanding and has always loved me even though I haven't quite been a perfect child! I love my dad!
Thankful for #3: My mamma! I can always talk to mom! If something is wrong, I know what number to call! I have always been able to tell her about sad times in my life, when someone has let me down, or I've let myself down, or anything...and she always listens and says the right things. I've also been able to talk to her about happy times and she always shows such excitement and makes me even more excited about what I'm telling her! My mom always helps me when I am in need. I love my mom!
Thankful for #4: Pappa Don & Mamma Kohn (Jean)...in other words, my parents-in-law, parent-in-laws...? You get the point! They were so accepting and welcoming as soon as Kohn and I started dating! There was never any contention with the "girlfriend and parents" that most people hear about! And that really was a huge blessing to me! I'm thankful for the teasing I receive from Don about my food touching and other things like being from Idaho. I really do love the teasing, it makes me feel more like family! I'm thankful Jean is always there to have a good conversation with and can make anyone feel comfortable. I'm thankful that although Kohn was only home from his mission for a little over a month when we met that they still support us and have been here for us! I love dad and mom #2!
Thankful for #5: Meagan, David, Angela, Rikki, JR, Shawn, Shannon, and Brad: I am so thankful for all my siblings! For my siblings I grew up with and for the good times we've had! For the deep conversations that I've been able to have with each of them, whether they are long or short or happen often or not. I am thankful that I always know I have a friend in them! For my new sisters, Angela and Shannon. For both being as involved as they were with my wedding and that they both threw awesome bridal showers for me! I'm thankful that I have more sisters in my life! I'm thankful for the many meals both of them have been so willing to feed me, I feel like I've taken a good majority of both their food ;) I also am grateful that Shannon is giving me a new niece and Angela is giving me either a niece or nephew...or both? ;) I am thankful for my new brothers, JR, Shawn, and Brad. Like Don, they have all had a good share of teasing me. It's always about the food. I am thankful that they have been so fun and have vandalized our car and our apartment...haha. I am thankful that they have been good examples to Kohn and have been examples for him to follow! I love all my siblings!
Thankful for #6: Alijah, Cole, Hallie, Breklyn, Baby Ward, and Baby Nielsen. I love kids so I am so thankful that I have these fun nieces and nephew! They always give me a good laugh and they make me feel super loved with their sweet little hugs. I am thankful that they were such good sports the day of our wedding and braved the cold to take pictures in their cute outfits! They were all freezing so it meant a lot to get the cute pictures we did with them! I am thankful that I get to be their aunt! I love my nieces and nephew!
Thankful for #7: My grandparents! I am thankful for all Grandma and Grandpa Turnbow do for Kohn and I! I am grateful that we are able to rent our apartment because of them! I am grateful that they got to be working in the session I was in to receive my endowments! I am thankful for their wonderful example in serving a mission and making me want to go on one with Kohn when we are able to do so! I am thankful for the support they have always shown me. I am thankful for the wonderful examples my Grandpa and Grandma Nielsen were to me. I'm thankful for the spunk Grandma had and that my Grandpa was a good example of strength! I'm thankful for how they raised my dad to be! For Grandpa and Grandma Thedell, for coming to celebrate our special wedding day with us! For Grandpa and Grandma McMurdie. That Grandpa was such a wonderful example for Kohn and that Grandma is being sooo strong right now! I love them all!
Thankful for #8: All my aunties and uncles and cousins! For...being such AMAZING decorators for my reception, for coming through my line at the reception a couple times to give me lots of hugs, for putting the wedding video together, for traveling a few hours to be with me on my special day, for still fitting me in with football ;) For all the hugs that they think I don't enjoy, for the teasing I get from them as well, and for their smiling faces! And especially for being my friends for 19 years! I know they love me and I definitely love them all so much!
Thankful for #9: My best fwends! I love all the laughs I've shared with every single one of them and I've loved just having good times and being able to relax with them! I'm grateful Andria was soooo amazing for our wedding! That girl did a great job helping out at the reception! And she even wore our wedding colors :) She's been my best friend since diapers, sometimes the...well I'll let her finish that sentence ;) she's been there for me through it ALL! And she still loves me even though I've had some episodes! Nicole Mathews Erickson! What a gem! We've only really known each other at a friendship level for a little over a year but I love her so much! She was my roommate during Winter 2011 semester and I love her! We always had good laughs and she was always there to talk to as well! We've had some good conversations since we've both been married and no longer able to live together anymore, and we will continue to do so! I can pretty much talk to her about anything! She is so funny and just the sweetest! She always said the right things! I have a ton of incredible friends and I love them all the same! :)
Okay...so I'm thankful for sooooo many other things too, but this would be mega super long if I continued to write them all down! So just to shorten it...here's a few more things: health, good weather, heaters, deodorant, tooth paste, gum, time, my Savior, my religion, and the Atonement. I am so thankful for the sacrifices made in my behalf. There are tons of things to be thankful for! And I'm thankful for it all!
Wanna know what else is exciting?! Okay, I'll tell ya! Next semester I only need to take 5 classes...and then I should be good to go to graduate with my associates degree in April! :) yessss! And then...well I won't bring up what the options after that are until a few things do or don't happen. Just cross your fingers that they do happen, and maybe say a lil prayer for me.

It happened, it's real....we're MARRIED!
Well....WE ARE MARRIED! It was such a HAPPY, HAPPY day! Loved it all! Seriously, whoever said wedding days are stressful didn't know. Well as far as the bride and groom are concerned. I can see how the families of the two lovebirds would be stressed, but as for the lovebirds themselves---nah! Our families were suuuuper great though! They made our wedding PERFECT! And we were definitely so lucky! Now, we are just living in that little apartment with yellow counter tops, loving life! We are still in the process of figuring out what to do with all our wonderful wedding presents and getting this little place all decorated up so it can feel like a home! :) oh yay! We went to our new ward yesterday, it was pretty fun. I got to introduce myself as Haley Thedell and tell them my HUSBAND and I just moved in! There were sooo many cute little kids, and it made me want my own. But instead Kohn is getting me a fish. It won't be anywhere near the same, but whatever, it's the thought that counts ;) and he is oh so sweet, so I accept! I want to name him Eugene...in honor of one of my favorite customers! Such a precious old man...anyways, life is good. Things are coming together, I love being a wife! However, getting a hang of the whole crafty, cooky business may take some time. Good thing Kohn loves me and can exercise some patience ;) it will be a fun ride that's for sure! We made some pecan waffles the other night, but that's the extent of cooking we've done this past week! Because we've been out celebrating birthdays and being guinea pigs, thanks mom and dad Nielsen and Thedell! ;) 'Preciate it muchly! But now it's time to get cookin. We're starting our experience with Spanish Chicken. It's this delicious casserole type dish that my mom made when Kohn and I were first dating. And I guess he liked it, cause he requested it. Now I just hope I can do it. And not fail. I've taken after my mom in the crafty department so I better take after her in her Spanish Chicken cooking skills, hehehe :) Oh I must say I made some delish muffins for breakfast the other morning. Betty Crocker is such a gem! Anyways...I'll post some pictures of the cute apartment once it is all done, because it is a MESS right now. We have to get it done by Wednesday though, because that's when the bishopric is coming to visit, and I want a nice place! That's my dad coming out in me! So...for now, I'm going to go do some cleaning. And here is a little sneak peek of wedding pictures taken by my very talent brother-in-law Shawn! Enjoy!
We love our nieces and nephew!
My beautiful new nieces!
Kohn and our nephew!
Visiting Grandma McMurdie! We HAD to see her! :)
All so thrilled!
Beautiful cake! Thanks Teauna! :)
Some Pepperidge friends that still love us! :)
Cute sign made by my new sister-in-law Shannon!
Centerpiece! My daddy found it!
My cousin Rachel! Love her! :) And mom's hugging Caitlyn, love her too!
Some delicious candy! There's still plenty! Take some! :)
I got the cute magnet thing in the middle from my aunt Carol at a bridal shower! :)
For some reason the two above pictures are together! But, there's the cake at another angle, and our fabulous car...
She was incredible! She came to the temple, helped at the breakfast, and the reception! And that's her brother! :)
The man behind the camera and my sexy husband! ;)
The best friend, Andria! She was also sooo helpful at the reception! Love her!
Oh these two...I knew they'd be friends from the start :)
Just eating some swedish fish before they were all gone :)
Oh ya know, Kohn just getting my garter with his teeth!
BAM! I had to blow frosting out of my nose...
There are TONS more pictures! Shawn took a lot more than this, but like I said, this is a sneak peak! :) My sister-in-law, Angela, also did an awesome job and we'll have to get her pictures too! And then of course coming out of the temple our amazing photographer, Melanie Gunnell was there! We're excited to get all the pictures together and share them with everyone! Be looking for them on Facebook! :)

Marriage is what gathers us togetha...Saturday :)
That's right, folks. The time is FINALLY here! I have to say, it felt like it took 10 million years, but now I'm wondering where in the world the time went! I guess that's how most things turn out though, huh?
I went to the temple to receive my endowments October 29. Wowwwww. It was, well....I don't know how to describe it. But it's a good thing! I am so happy that I get to spend eternity with Kohn by my side! :)
I have to say, starting my job at ICON was definitely a blessing in disguise. It has brought me closer to my Heavenly Father. How so? Well I would pray for Him to be with me every morning before I got out of my car and walked up those painfully long stairs. And now, I can do my job just fine, but still feel like something is missing when I don't start my day off with that little prayer before my day really begins. So I always start with that personal prayer. Let me tell you a story that goes with this....
Last week I got off about a half hour early one day cause there wasn't too many calls coming in. So, before I went to work, I made sure to say a special prayer, and maybe asked to possibly get off work early :) Well that didn't happen, oh no, Heavenly Father had better things in store for me. My original days off of work for the upcoming days were Friday, Saturday, and Monday. Well...I come back from one of my 15 minute breaks and my boss just randomly tells me I'm not working tomorrow (Thursday). I was really confused and she just casually proceeded to tell me that she wanted me to have the time I needed to get ready for my wedding so I wasn't working. Ooooh yeah, that's LOTS better than getting off a half hour early! So you see, had this not happened I would be finishing up at work right now. Instead I have been able to get almost all my homework done that's due up til next Wednesday! Just two more assignments! Heavenly Father watches out for us...we just have to let Him in.
I'm about to get crackin' on my packin' and cleaning of the apartment. I'm loving it, I'm able to get a lot accomplished and still find time to do some quality blogging! Tomorrow will be fun! All day long is devoted to preparation for Saturday, the day I marry my best friend! So I'm so super glad that within the next couple hours school disappears for a couple days! :)
Oh, so Kohn came over for lunch today. We booked a trip to Kentucky for the week before Christmas. Kentucky is where Kohn went on his mission! He's pretty excited to see people again and I'm excited to get to meet all these wonderful people he has told me about! :) Anyways, when Kohn left to go back to work that was good-bye until we see each other at the temple on Saturday!!! That fact makes it seem like Saturday will never get here, but it will! It's just crazy stuff! And I can't believe it's here! I'm staying at my parents house on Friday night, so tonight is my last night sleeping in this apartment as a single woman! Haha. Crazy.
I'm preparing myself for how weird it will be when I don't have to kick Kohn out at nights, or when we don't have to keep the door wide open, but I don't think there's any way to really prepare for that. I'm just ready to embrace the weirdness of it all! I'm about to dive into a brand new lifestyle, one of which I have no idea of what all to expect, but I'm excited to dive into it with my best friend! :)

I'm preparing myself for how weird it will be when I don't have to kick Kohn out at nights, or when we don't have to keep the door wide open, but I don't think there's any way to really prepare for that. I'm just ready to embrace the weirdness of it all! I'm about to dive into a brand new lifestyle, one of which I have no idea of what all to expect, but I'm excited to dive into it with my best friend! :)
Here's to our never ending journey of eternity!
