So I guess it is time for a new post. There are alot of changes going on in our lives right now but as I like to say...all of our balls are up in the air right now, and we are waiting to see where they all are going to land.
We have moved out of our apartment and are living with my parents until we know exactly what is going to happen. We are soooo appreciative to my parents for everything they do for us! Hopefully someday we will be able to make it up to them! But Mom and Dad if you are reading this, Thank you so much for everything! You will never know what this means to both Scott and I, we love you!
I am still looking for a job. I am also still waiting to hear back from a couple of places. The thing is that there are plenty of jobs for me to apply for, but the problem is that there are 100 other people applying for the same jobs. So I guess we are just going to have keep praying and doing what we are suppose to do, and when the timing is right...I will find a job.
In other news, Scott had an interview for a universal teller position still at US Bank up in Draper that he should be able to get so, he will at least have a job and can keep food on the table! If he does get the job, we will most likely be moving up there at the beginning of May. The nice thing about that is that it will get me up north so that if a job interview comes up I don't have to drive 4 hours to it.
We did get a new car. We got a Honda Accord that we love! I will try and post some pictures here in a little bit...but it is so nice to be able to have 2 cars now instead of just the one...
That is what is going on with us...I will try and keep this up to date as possible! And let you know what is happening, and when it all happens!

Update on the Butlers
So I thought that it was about time to do a little updating here on the blog! It has been way too long!
First of all we have some EXCITING news! Scott has been accepted to BYU and will be starting in the fall. We are super excited for this, and really anxious for him to be able to start and better yet finish!!! He is going to be able to graduate in 18 months instead of the 2 years normally and then we are hoping to go to either ASU or BYU for his MBA.
So with that being said...this means that we are now moving up to Utah County! Currently I am looking for a job up there, I have had several interviews, and am just waiting to hear back. However, if any one knows of any company looking for a new accountant, office manager, bookkeeper etc., please let me know!!!
We also sold my Honda Accord, and hopefully will be buying a new car this weekend to replace it! We have been sharing a car the past month, while we have been looking, and I have to give props to those other couples out there that share a car!!! It is tough work. Especially when you both work and one of you goes to school!!!
We have also put in our 30 days notice for our apartment, and have started boxing everything up. It is nice because I have been able to go through alot of things and "purge" what I dont need or haven't touched the last year we have been there. I am excited to move into a bigger apartment, if and when we find jobs and move up to Utah County, but for right now all of our stuff will be in boxes in my parents house.
All in all life is a little stressful right now. The only thing that I know right now is that Scott and I are doing everything that the Lord has asked of us, and we are leaving the rest up to him. It is hard, but it has been my experience that when the Lord asks things of you that really are a challenge to you, when you have done all that you can, he will bless you with what you need, and most of the time even more!!! I am sorry to get all churchy on you, but I am so grateful for the gospel and the principles that it teaches me.
That is all for right now. I will hopefully be able to do some more posting of our anniversary trip to Six Flags...so stay tuned!!!

Four Wheeling with the Haroldsons!!!
Ben was awesome at unloading these thins on his high truck!!! This is what boys are for!
Ah...dont we look so excited! Actually I was a little nervous because Scott had never driven a four wheeler before...yikes!
The whole clan after we stopped for dinner...it looks like I was driving, but that would be a no...there were way too many steep rocky roads! I like flat and smooth!
Scott wanted to climb to the top and I wouldn't let him...But he at least got to touch it...oh and that hanging thing is Ben...
We love the Haroldsons...They were super fun to go out with!!!
Doesn't Scott look like he is having so much fun!!!!
Yes, my shirt was so dirty we had to write "hi" in it!!!
Scott's face was pretty bad too!!!
We think that this was the van down by the river that Chris Farley was talking about...it is now Ben & Elishas new home...jk :)
Okay this was me really driving! It was so much fun!!!
While we were riding we realized that it was Scott's one year anniversary from being home off his mission...what a fun way to celebrate it!!! We loved every minute of this weekend and hope to be able to do it again...Thanks Ben & Elisha!!!

THRILLER!!!
This last weekend Mom, Dad, Scott and I went to Tuachan and saw Thriller put on by Odessey Dance Theater.
We had so much fun that night...although Scott and I got very cold...when the sun goes down in the canyon it can get down right cold!!!
We were really excited that Mom and Dad were able to go with us. We all had a good time with some good laughs too!
Here is the whole gang...Dad for some reason has a weird look on his face...but still it was awesome sitting on the front row being so up close to the dancers you can see the sweat on their foreheads.
They also had a bunch of people dressed up all halloweenee and trying to scare everybody. This particular guy was crazy...he could bend his back so far it was crazy! But for some reason he decided to invade my personal space and this was the picture that I got of him with him basically sitting on my lap...
Another girl was walking by and we asked if she would take a picture with Mom and Dad...she went to sit on Dad's lap and he just picked her up and placed her high up his lap...that is why Mom has the look on her face that she does...The actor has the look like...what is this guy doing???
All in all it was an awesome night and we were really glad that we were able to go. We are hoping that we can go see it again next year!

Life
So just for fun as I am sitting here while Scott is at school I thought that I would put up a post and let everyone know what was happening with us!
First of all, can I just say how weird it is not to be in school! I did it for so many years that I really am having some issues not thinking that I have some kind of homework to do or some test that I need to be studying for! But it is fabulous. I do however have alot of extra time on my hands and so I thought that I would get a second job, I decided to see if I could get hired back on at Seagull Book for some Christmas help.
It should be good to have some extra money and something to do two nights of the week. I am excited but also kind of scared because I am going back to something that is totally different than what I am doing right now. I am in an office all day and now I will be out on the floor and helping customers with buying christmas gifts, nothing like accounting!!!
Scott is doing good as well. He is an awesome teller, the best ever actually and those are not my words...they are actually the words of his boss. He has gotten at least 4 gift cards for doing such a good job! I am so proud of him...and all I have to say is...yeah he is my husband!!
