Well so I kinda like doing those marathon blog postings, can't you tell?! Anyways, I just thought I would do a little update on what our normal lives are like=) Chase recently started grad school last week! Yeah for him! He seems to be getting in the groove pretty well so that is super good. In the meantime, I got a job and I am now working as a case manager for Community & Family Resource Center in a program called Babies Can't Wait. It is a pretty neat program. We work with families that have lost custody of their children due to drug use or neglect etc. and we work with the parents in reunifying them with their children. We teach the parents parenting skills and other skills necessary to be functional in society etc. There is actually a lot more to it than that but I don't think you want the whole spill! Other than work and school...Chase and I are pretty involved in church stuff...Chase is the assistant ward mission leader and I am a ward missionary and laurels advisor in the young womens. Both have been great callings and have given me a great opportunity for learning and growth. To be honest I feel so young when I am around all the young women!
Something we have recently taken up, is watching The Office...to be honest everytime I watch an episode...it makes me soooo crazy and I can't stand Michael Scott (to all who have ever watched The Office) But it is something that Chase enjoys so I mostly watch it for him!
So when we aren't watching The Office, we are either hanging out with our great friends here in Indiana playing games or hanging out (which is something we love to do!)!

I love The Office! I own seasons 1, 2, and 3 and will own 4 when it comes out :-)
Holy lots of posts- and btw, when I first started watching the office I wanted to strangle Michael Scott- but you get used to him and then you can laugh with everyone else.

hey guys! looks like life is going well for you guys, good luck in grad school chase and that program you're working for joni sounds awesome and something a lot of people need!
Hey Joni, I wasn't sure how to get ahold of you. Just wanted to let you know they released Bishop Moore last Sunday. Aleisha McConkie is putting together a scrapbook for him. If you can, send your favorite pictures from your time in 14th ward or send a current family snap shot and a short paragraph about where you are and what you're doing. Email to Aleisha McConkie at a_mcconkie@yahoo.com Bishop will really appreciate it!!

Hi you guys, It was fun to read and see your blog and hear what you have been up to since you went so far away. It sounds like you are having a great time in Indiana and surrounding areas.
Take care, Love Aunt Jane G.
So Joni, I am so excited to have found your blog!!!! This is Heather Adamson(Young) in case you were wondering. I am so excited for you and Chase to be experiencing all that you are. Keep me updated on life. Lova ya.
Hi Joni (I am your cousin-in-law)! I just wanted to say good luck with your job. I was a teacher in Utah and had some of my students' parents going through the same program you are working with. I am sure it is challenging to see the conditions several of these kids live in! I know the parents (at least some of the ones I worked with in Utah) are so appreciative to have the help and see what they need to do to get back on track to help them and their kids succeed. Good luck with school Chase! I know you will do awesome in all of your classes :)
Hey dudes! I just wanted to let you know that I tagged you- check it out on my blog!
Hey Joni, I am so glad you guys are doing well. When you make it home again let me know. We really need to get together again.

You should update more so I can read about your life!!! :) Hope you are doing great!
Hey Joni-
Sad that Jesse & I are so out of touch with everyone and life that we didn't even know you weren't in Pocatello any more! We are pathetic. I thought I would tell you that we recently met your Dad. He is in our Stake! Such a nice guy, we would have never known that he was your Dad if we hadn't mentioned 14th Ward. Hope you guys are doing well.
