Hello wonderful friends and family!!!!

Lots of Great news to share. Matt and I both were accepted into BYU-I!!!!!! God is Great :) I can't wait to be married and starting my life with Matt at a school that will be so accepting, uplifting, and helpful to us as we pursue our goals. I am so excited! We have been looking at some apartments over in Rexburg, and we have narrowed it down to about three complexes that seem to fit with us. Hopefully there will be more good news to come in the near future. Thank you to all who are there for Matt and I, your love and guidance helps us so much! We love you!

Hello you all!

These past couple of weeks have been crazy. I feel like as we are moving closer to the wedding, Satan is really working on Matt and I. Especially me. Matt and I were called to serve as YSA leaders for our ward, and it really is a huge calling, however so amazing! We love our calling!!!! There is really a lot to do with it since we are basically helping start a program up in the Stake. We go to FHE and Institute each week, and invite others to do so as well.  We also call and meet with inactive kids and their families. We are even helping teach a YSA Sunday school class at church now! What a wonderful way that we get to serve the Lord and our fellow YSA members.

Matt and I are both still working and I am going to school, and we almost always have an appointment during the evening at some point (usually for church). So as you can see, I am obviously feeling a little stressed out.... oh did I mention I am also planning a wedding?

The Lord is wonderful though, and I know by serving others and fulfilling my callings I will be blessed. The Lord knows me and what I need. And what Matt and I need. I have been praying a lot for the opportunity to keep the Sabbath day holy, because I have a tutoring student that I meet on Sundays. I got a call today and the mom said that her grades had gone up and she was doing her homework on her own, and enjoying reading! My heart could have melted right there! Her mom also said that she thinks that she won't be needing tutoring anymore, meaning my Sundays are now free from work. It is hard to say goodbye to her after working with her and her family for a over a year, but I know that it is God's plan. It is just a new chapter to my life and hers.

Five months and thirteen days until the wedding, if I counted right. Lots more to do, but I pray that the process may be enjoyable and exciting. I am so ready to be Mrs. Lundervold, and to come home to my prince every night for the eternities :) We love you all and appreciate your support for us.

Lots of things have been going great for Matt and I!

We recently put in our applications for BYU-I and have been apartment hunting. We are hoping that we will be able to head over there for school next year. We should hear back in about 6 weeks or so... we shall keep you posted! In some wedding news, we registered recently at Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Amazon.com. It was quite an experience let me tell ya! Matt and I started at Target, and we both looked at each other and said "are you a little nervous"? We both were! But after Matt got to be in charge of the scanning button, all was well. It is so wonderful to be able to plan what OUR house is going to be like and how WE want to set it up. Just the fact that we are going to be having OUR own place is crazy and awesome! We are both very excited! 

I recently just got hired as a nanny for two wonderful boys in Tacoma. The youngest boy has Downs Syndrome and if you know me.... you know how much I care for people with disabilities. I am thankful to have a job with flexible hours and great pay! Now I can help save for next year as well! Thank you to all who support us in this journey! We love you!
