sad day.

With John done with school and with us moving to Virginia I had to quit my job. I love my job (even if i woke up and complained about going I always had fun when I got there) I have spent a total of 19 months ( i know it is not to long) working with disabled adults. I love that job! It has been such a rewarding experience and I will never forget any of the clients. There are so many things I wish I could of told them. Like how much I love them and how important they are to me. But the words just couldn't come out. I spent all weekend making treats for them. I am excited for this new part in my life but I am so sad to leave those people. Before I left I did give them all a big hug (and I even got a kiss on the cheek from my favorite client) Man I love those guys! I truly was blessed with so many life changing experiences there. I know that one day I will see them again, and that I will be able to tell them all how much I do love them.

Graduation.

This weekend was a very eventful weekend. John graduated from USU with his masters and bachelors in electrical engineering. He graduated with honors in tau beta pi, and as valedictorian. His parents came up for the weekend. Johns two sisters also came to the graduation on Saturday where John spoke. It was a very exciting weekend and we are glad that John is done. We are so excited for this new experience of moving to Virginia.

Thanksgiving.

I know this is kind of late, but for thanksgiving we went to Johns brother Brent and his wife's Michelle's house. )Michelle is my very talented sister-in-law who takes AMAZING pictures.) Michelle's family was there also. It was wonderful! The food was so good!! I had a good time, ir reminded me of thanksgivings with my family. Here are a few pictures, I am sorry to say I am for sure not as talented as Michelle and I had my camera on the wrong setting.. So they look bad.. oops.

This is ava, Michelle's sister's little girl. I thought that this picture was so cute.

This is Michelle's sister Ashlee with her little girl ava.

This is Stella, she has the cutest little curls to add to her overall cuteness.

This is me and my good friend Gris from the mission. She was a member in one of the wards i served in.

Where are the Sallays going???!!!

Well if you have not heard John and I will be moving some time in January to Fairfax Virginia. People have been asking me if I am excited, and I sure am! Then the second question is always "are you nervous?" and to answer that! YES!!! I sure am! Why? I have never been there. A few years ago I went to Philadelphia and I loved it! But I went home after that, back to Oregon. I will be home when we move there. It will be a big change! For those of you who don't know where Fairfax is, it is about 10 Miles west of DC. It will be a exciting new adventure! We don't have all the details yet of when we will be leaving and such, but it will be soon!!

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

John and I both enjoyed this. go watch it!


In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

Thankful heart.

So I decided to let everyone know those things I am so very grateful for. First off for a Loving Heavenly Father who has blessed me so much through out my life. I am so grateful for this beautiful world that I have to live in. I am so grateful for my loving husband. I am grateful that he is so smart! My Mom, dad, sisters and brother. All my aunts, uncles and grandparents. They have been such great examples to me! I am grateful for Johns family and that I have them in my life. I am so grateful for my education that I decided to get and for the education John is getting. I am so grateful for so many things, and if I were to list them all the list would never end. I am so grateful for my job, and all the other staff and especially the clients. They are such examples to me. I have been so blessed to have them in my life and to be able to help them. I will be so sad in a few weeks when I leave and start my life again someplace else. As much as John thinks I hate Logan, in these past few years I have grown to like it. There will be things that I will miss, but there are not as many as the things I wont miss. I think that most of all I will miss the beauty of the Logan temple.


I am truly grateful for all that God has blessed me with, but mostly for the Gospel and for a country that I live in.

Cleaning the sink

This is something much more exciting than just cleaning any sink. Last week when John was gone at an interview I stayed with my friend Liza who I work with. For one of your adventures we went to a local restaurant and cleaned the sink. We went with Erin (who we also work with) and Erins sister, I am sorry to say I don't remember her name. I think it is Rachel.. Sorry. It was sure fun!

The sink

First Bite!! YUMMY!

Half way!

I thought I was going to be sick!

All done!!

Liza decided that it ALL had to be gone!

We did it!! And then we all went back to lizas and had a fun time! But the things that go one in Lizas house are top secret and no one must know!!
