5 months later!

• It's been 5 months since I posted. I promise we're still alive!!!! We've been super busy since January. I now work for Grimaldis Corporate Office as the receptionist/right hand (wo)man to accounts payable. I love the people I work with and they keep me so busy that the days just fly by in a jiff. Yes, I get a discount on all their delicious pizza. That's everyone's first question haha. Enough about me though let's talk about the real star of the show!!! I tell you, that Myles Dean Turk never ceases to amaze me. He is the most hard working and driven person I've ever known. When he does something, he will only finish it with 150% effort and he won't quit until it's absolutely perfect. Last Friday the 10th of May he graduated with his Master's in Accountancy!!! This means we're done with school forever and that he is just one step closer to being a CPA for Ernst and Young starting September 11th. Yes, the only reason I remember the  &date is because it's on 9/11 haha. Since graduation, Myles has not taken a breath (doesn't surprise me one bit) and has started studying for test 3 of 4 of the CPA exams. He passed the first two with no sweat. Myles isn't just an academic robot(wink), he the most sweet and loving person I know. A true Christian  if you will. He gets it from his mom who really envelopes the word Christan. Any way, back to my man, he has taught me so much during these past two.5 years of marriage. Oh yeah ps, our 2.5 year anniversary just happened to be yesterday. That's why all of this is fresh on my mind. 
•  We are too blessed as always. These past 5 months have brought us nothing but joy; bike rides to In-n-out... By the way, we found out that Miller road is the Golden ticket to the in-n-out off Rural and da 202(thanksforthetip,Paul). I've been called as the first counselor in the Young Womans and i am so excited and happy to serve there. it beats me struggling to play the piano for Relief Society.... Myles teaches a financial prep class, haha we think it's funny that they asked the soon to be auditor to teach it but we are as always, happy to serve. We went to a few concerts to see some of our favorite bands, like we were sophomores in high school haha but we had a bllllast. Most of all we've been spending time with our little Trudy who is such a funny wiener dog. We love her like a real human and we've come to realize that when we do have a real human child someday we will be the biggest worry warts. As ridiculous as it sounds, it's true haha. 
• I'll post some pictures later!!

Sneak Peek

Introducing

Trudy Thunderpaws Turk

Shout Out!!!

December is one of my favorite times of the year....

This December was especially sweet

Two of my favorite people in this whole wide world came home after serving full time missions.

Lucy E Brimhall served in the Czech Republic

and

Lauren C Coplan served in Independence, Missouri.

Words cannot express how proud I am of these girls.

They've touched my life in so many ways, I can only imagine what it would be like to learn about the gospel from them. 

I am honored to be friends with strong and willing daughters of our Heavenly Father!!

I have no doubt in my mind that I met these girls for a reason. They are the best. It just one of the many many indicators that our Heavenly Father knows and loves us!

I was so happy to reunite with my Gal Pals! 

I look like a turtle in this picture but that's okay.

Minus Kelsey, girl, you know I love you too and I'm sad we didn't get a Christmas photo together... BUT I'll see you in a month!

Birthday Celebration

We were all so happy to see my seester and her family on Christmas. It was so nice to feel whole with ALL of the family together.

Wyatt turned 5 so that meant that I got to bake with Caroline :)

Wyatt wanted a Mario themed party. Of course Caroline, the super mom that she is, came up with the idea to make Mario and Luigi out of fondant. How cute right? 

 Wyatt wanted sugar cookies instead of cupcakes. 

 Haha, I love it!

 Look at my pretty nieces (Minus Eden, and Ivy Kat)

 Finished product. I can't get over how cute these are. Unfortunately Luigi has a little plastic surgery scar on his face. It's fine.

 The birthday boy!

 *I forgot to post this in the last one*

SO FUNNY

Jolly ol' St. Nicholas.

Back to the birthday celebration...

aaaand a little dancing with grandma to work off all those cookies!

I guess I had a birthday too....

Cheers to 23! I had a great birthday, we just hung out and ran errands. Then ordered pizza. Simple and exactly what I wanted. I was still on the mend from that yucky flu everyone had, so I didn't feel like getting ready and going out quite yet. It's fine.

Anniversary and Christmas!

I can't believe that 2012 is over! It went by way too fast but I look forward to what 2013 brings! Reflecting on the year, all i can say is that we are SO blessed. 

We love December because we get to celebrate our anniversary and Christmas!

 Remember these things?

 HAHA

We celebrated our 2nd Anniversary on the 17th

 Myles surprised me, and took me to the most romantic dinner at Elements at Sanctuary Camelback Resort! It was so beautiful. We sat at a booth that overlooked Paradise Valley.

As for the food.... 

you can probably tell from the pictures that it was YUMMOLA.

Possibly THE best food we've had. More importantly, it's been the best 2 years of my life and I am so lucky the spend the rest of eternity with this fine young man.

Thanksloving

I don't have any pictures but Myles and I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

There is nothing like spending 4 days straight with your best friend.

We went to my parents house for Thanksgiving day and enjoyed lots of yummy food and great company.

We are really blessed to have such a wonderful family. All of our siblings truly love each other, not to mention B &T are the bomb. We are so lucky to be in the best family ever.

Thursday night B&T took Myles and I to Wreck It Ralph. HAHA.

Let's just say that T summed it up the best. When the movie ended she said, "Did we really just see Wreck it Ralph...?....." Haha I died. My mom, I tell you she is the best.

We shoulda seen Lincoln, which Myles and I saw on Wednesday, VERY well done.

Anyway besides having a blissful Thursday with my family, the best part of Thanksgiving was that the next day was FRIDAY.

And the best part of Friday was that the next day was Saturday. HAha I am for real.

Again I am so grateful for all that I have. My life is so good. I am truly blessed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the joy it brings to my heart. I am humbled by the love of our Savior and our Heavenly Father. They have given us everything. I also have a testimony that Joseph Smith restored this Gospel to the Earth. I am amazed by his bravery and diligence. PRAISE TO THE MAN! I am so excited for this Christmas season to celebrate the birth of our Redeemer!!!
Remember we have more than enough to be grateful for in this world.

Count your blessings, name them one by one.. count your many blessings see what God has done.

Myles is THE BEST

Myles really is the best.

I love him so much.

Why? Because he works soooo hard.

As his wife I am pleased to annouce

about 3 weeks late...

That he passed part 1 of 4 of his CPA Exam!!

He took the hardest portion first and knocked it out of the park.

All you accountants out there know how grueling these exams are.

Now Myles is just one step closer to auditing all your behinds!

Give him a hollar for this, he'll appreciate it!!!
