9. Knowing that my mom wants to come visit as much as I want her to come visit me. And knowing she is hoping to come soon!

10. Dinner at Carrabbas! The food was sooo good and its such a treat to go out!

We obviously had a great weekend and got a lot done! I am loving life but we are a little more busy than we would like to be. I guess thats what happens when you choose to be responsible!

New Jobs!!!

So after a long, horrible process of applying for a ton of jobs, Karl and I both got jobs this week! Yay, its a huge relief to know that we will have some money going into the bank. Karl is working for a company called DBO. They are a small company that buys foreclosed homes and then sells them back. He is working as a purchasing agent, so he will be buying the homes. He really likes it and says that he feels like a real professional. I am working for the BYU comprehensive clinic. They are starting a new project that I am essentially in charge of. I will be creating the training programs for the student employees as well as the graduate students that work in the Therapy department at BYU. I will be using a program called Adobe Captivate that I have experience in when I had an internship for. We both got really lucky and we are THRILLED!

St. George

This last weekend Karl and I went down to visit my grandparents in St. George. It was great to get out of Provo and spend some time with family. We really missed them at the wedding so it was good for us to go down so they could get to know Karl a little better. I made a batch of cinnamon rolls and they were great, though I have learned that they will never quite measure up to my mother in law's (though I agree, hers are amazing). We also got to take a drive through Zion's National Park. It was Karl's first time, and it was absolutely beautiful. We just wish we could have done a little hiking, but it was still great. We had an awesome time enjoying family and staying warm ( probably a little warmer than we would have liked).


We are staying busy with classes and I am just so thrilled with how much better my classes are this semester. They are still challenging, but I feel like I am doing the right thing and I that I am able to see the results of how much hard work I am putting in. One assignment for one of my classes was to create a family mission statement and it was great to think about what we want to have as a family. Here is what I have come up with

The Yorgason Family
Established 2009


As an eternal family we plan to:


Have regular scripture study
Have daily family prayer
Have weekly Family Home Evening
Attend the Temple Regularly
Have a financially stable home
Serve one another and our communities
Have fun together and love unconditionally


Through these things we will hope to create a gospel centered home that will encourage members of the family as well as those around us to progress towards Celestial Glory.

such a crazy life

The last week has been pretty crazy but we have been getting a lot done. We are pretty much settled into our apartment but we really need to find a dresser, currently we have no where to store socks and pjs and such. The apartment is great, we love having two bedrooms to store our extra stuff. the outside and the neighbors have been quite interesting. Almost no one speaks english and there is a tamale that has been on the stairs ever since we have been here. I am tempted to clean it up myself so I dont have to look at it anymore. But we have a great apartment for a great price so I cant complain.

We have been looking for jobs like crazy. I have applied for over 30 and I think Karl is close to that, so far I have a tentative interview scheduled for next week, lets hope it goes well. We really need to find jobs. In other news, we got health insurance today! Yay! I am so excited to not worry about that anymore, it was starting to make me really nervous. If the job goes through, a lot of stress will be relieved.

We are both blessed to be loving our classes. It is so refreshing for me to be studying something that I enjoy and that I am liking all of my classes. Its great. I am also learning a lot about Geography from Karl.

We are so excited to be in this stage of our lives and we are loving every minute of it. Its more than either of us ever imagined! We are hoping to take a trip down to St. George this weekend to visit my grandparents!

The beginnings of married life

So I will write a post about the wedding once we get pictures from the photographer. But the time since the wedding has been absolutely fantastic. Karl surprised me and took me on a honeymoon in Carmel. It was absolutely beautiful and we loved it but we felt a little out of place. There were a lot of extremely wealthy people there, including the woman who told the waiter all about her mink fur-lined coat. Karl's favorite part of the honeymoon was when we got to feed the sting rays at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. It was really fun, they just vacuum the food right out of your hands. We headed home on Christmas Eve and spent the holiday with my family. My brothers love having a new brother to play video games with and hang out with. I am so glad that Karl fits into the family so well. I found it hilarious how what we like for Christmas changes so much when we are married. Before I got excited about new clothes and now we are excited about a Costco card and the GPS that we got, as well as the hammer and dishcloths we got from his parents. I feel very old to love these gifts so much. After Christmas, we headed up to Boise for the Open House. One of the things I have been so grateful for is how well the families have gotten along. I am grateful for my family as well as the family I have gained through marriage. We are truely blessed. I am so excited to gain new sisters ( I have never had one!), brothers, parents, neices and nephews. Its been great to get to know everyone, even though I wish we had more time with them.
We have been so overwhelmed by all of the love and support that we have felt throughout this process. People have sacrificed so much to make our wedding so great. I was very touched by a woman in our ward who is very sick with cancer but was there working harder than so many others the whole day. She helped with the food at the luncheon and the recpetion. Her selflessness and service have been such an inspiration to me. I have learned that there is never an excuse to not help others and have a positive attitude. I am sure there are a million other people who were the same way but I am so grateful for everyone who supported me. I have an amazing aunt that 24/7 for days to make the most amazing flowers. I have great in-laws who came early to be with me while I recieved my endowments. I have a many great cousins who all supported me, but especially the ones who had a mini-bachlorette party with me at the nail salon and kept me calm the night before the wedding as well as the day of, helping me put my dress on before the reception and take it off after. I also have awesome bridesmaids and family and friends that supported me on the most important day of my life. Thank you so much!
