Clayton.

This man pretty much makes my day everyday. :-)

life lately.

Welp, it has been a month since I last posted so I thought I better get on the ball. During this month there has been work, church, a wedding, moving, dr.'s visit, a new baby announced, time spent with friends and family, family moving here... It has been a crazy month!
Lets start with work. Work is work. haha. I would love to not have to work but, I do. so there.
Church is great! I find great strength in it. It is my home away from home and Clayton and I absolutely love our callings!

Clayton's brother Aron married a girl named Audrey on the 28th of April. It was nice. They are having a baby boy in september.

WE moved!!! (across the street.) We up graded our one bedroom apartment to a three bedroom 2 bath house! It is so nice to have a yard and space and privacy!! And I realized that clayton and I are hoarders. We are working on this. We absolutely love our house though. We are just renting but, hopefully in the next couple of years we can purchase a house!

Ah, the Dr.... yeah.. I had a Dr. appointment on the 27th of April. It went really good. the doctor was very comforting and put me on provera to regulate and took some labs and I have a follow up appointment on the 14th of this month to see if I need to be put on clomid to get our babies coming. It was a good appointment but hard also. It isn't fun hearing that you are going to have a bit of difficulty getting pregnant. Not fun at all.

A baby annoucned... well, clayton's brother kurt and his wife are having baby number 2. I found this out right after my dr. appointment. Needless to say, many a tear has been shed because I did not need to hear that on that day. I am very happy for them. I'm sad for us. It has been really hard on me.

Friends and Family!!~!! What would I do without them? be a wreck is what.  WE have some of THE best friends and family anyone could ask for. The offer the best support and sometimes the best shoulder to cry on. Love them!

Other good news is my cousin Cindy and her little cute family moved up here!!!! I am so excited for them and for me! They are real fun to be around!

So This has been our month. A good month, a hard month and everything else!

extraORDINARY

Clayton and I are ordinary people. We live an ordinary life. Sometimes.. just sometimes I will think to myself and say self, you are too ordinary. There needs to be more pizazz or something.. Or we just need more. But, like I said, i only think that sometimes! Lately, I have been thinking this. Maybe its because I have baby fever like no other and we just want a baby, and its not happening that easily and everyone else is fertile myrtles around me. But, I came across this quote on pinterest and it just made my day and cheered me up and gave me hope :) Its by David A. Bednar and he says," Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results." Isn't that beautiful!! There is extraordinary results waiting for us ordinary people! L-O-V-E, love it! That is my thoughts for the day!

Whats a happenin' hot stuff!?

Welp, a lot has happened since the last post! Clayton and I welcomed another nephew! Samuel Lee Spencer was born on Feb 21st and he is the custest little man :) we sure love him!

Uncle clayton and sam chillen'

On March 17th my grandma decided to throw a sweet retreat at her cabin in Greer, AZ. There wasn't many in attendance but we certainly did have fun with those who did come :) All is well at the casa de spencer's. We are just working and churching. We are looking forward to the next couple of weeks! I am going to the doctor on the 2nd to get this baby process in gear! Hopefully it is just something minor going on!

This weekend we are going to watch our good friends get Sealed for Time and all Eternity!! I am so excited for that little family :) such a neat experience and blessing to them and their childred! Then we are going to go watch the Hunger Games!!!! Woot Woot! We love our blessed life.

Next weekend Aunt Tanni and Uncle Clayton get to babysitt Ezra and Rylie! We are so excited to go down to arizona and see those cute kids! It has been too long! It doesn't hurt seeing their parents either ;) we miss them too!

These are the happs for the spencer family! Hope all is well with yours :)

My Husband.

Can I just say that I absolutely l-o-v-e love my husband! I sit at work and listen to these women gripe and complain and talk so crude about their spouses or even their significant other or what not. It breaks my heart. It makes me so sad to think that they have to belittle their spouse or the sig. other. Seriously!?! Half these women are not married. Just living with their 'man'. Ah.. it just makes me incredibly sad and yet incredibly happy at the same time to know that I have a man who is a worthy priesthood holder, who provides for our little family. Who desires to serve his Father in Heaven. And in that desire, chose me to be his eternal companion with him as we endure to the end. I am so grateful for him and his righteous desire to be better everyday. I love that I have nothing negative or belittling to say about him, I hope that by always saying something that I love about him or something he does to make me smile around these women that I can be an example to them. That they can quit bashing their significant others and enjoy and love the person who they are with. For some, all they have is the thought that one day they can grow old with somebody. Enjoy your valentine ladies and gents. Be grateful to have this amazing person in your life. :)

cha cha cha cha changes.....

January, January... Do you ever end??????? Seriously! This is the month that feels like it will never end! But, it ends next tuesday. FINALLY! I don't know why I don't like this month, but I don't. Never have and probably never will.

Anyways, that was my rant on January. I will say with this new year I am looking forward to the changes that will happen this year! A house? hopefully. A baby? oh man we hope so :) We definitely want some changes! The hard thing is though, these changes can't happen right away! The waiting game is the hard part. And if you ask Clayton, I am not a very patient person :) haha. But, we have faith in our heavenly father that he knows what is best for us. And that is all we need.

2011 With The Spencer's.....

Another year has come and gone. Where does the time go!? 2011 - you where great. 2012 - bring it on!!!! Here is a quick re-cap since we last met. ( I'm bad at blogging, I know. )

September brought us to our one year anniversary! I can't believe we have been married over a year! It seems like we just gotten married :) We are having so much fun being married and doing the will of our Father in Heaven. We are blessed. ;)

October - Eh.. nothing to much going on there! I went down to Arizona at the end of october to be with loved ones through their hard time and gained a better testimony of the power of prayer. Our family is one special family!

November - Dun , Dun, Dun... Tannis recieved her 'big girl" calling - First Counselor in the Relief Society.... yowza! I was not expecting that one! But, I am super excited with this calling and the chance to get to know the sisteres in our ward better and to help them :) We also had 2 Thanksgiving's this year! Twas so delicious! We had thanksgiving with my family and with clayton's family. so nice to be with our families.. Love them!

December - What a busy month it was! Between work and church we have been so busy this month! We got to have Christmas with the siblings at jayson's house on the ranch. It had been over 4 years since we had all been together. It was so fun! And clayton finally got to meet my older brother Shaun and his wife Daniela and their kids.

I started to have a bit of a blue Christmas for a while because I really thought that we would have had/or having a baby by now :( but, we look with hope towards 2012 and faith in our Heavenly Father and his time. It definitely isn't easy and it is most definitely hard. I'm so grateful for Clayton and his unwavering faith and his ability to reassure me when month after month no baby came. He is such a good man. A worthy priesthood holder, and my best friend.

So, 2011 thank you. 2012 - We look forward with a "brightness of Hope..."
