Prayers Please.

I like to share whats happening in my personal life. Mostly because I like it when people tell me how their life is going. Anyway there is a really really really ( I can't stress really enough) awesome job opening (we have even heard that there are multiple openings) at a power plant here in New Mexico. It's beyond the perfect job. We would basically be getting paid to go to school (who doesn't want that?!) Anyway it's super competitive and TONS of people (we are guessing) have put in their job applications. Well my awesome husband sent in he resume too. The deadline was today, so I am sure in the next couple days maybe weeks we will know if we get an interview. We would really appreciate it if you would join us in prayer so that we could get the job. There will probably be a lot more 'qualified' people, but we are praying hard, and like everything else in our lives we are trusting in the Lord.

Have a happy day, and thanks in advance for keeping us in your prayers!

Love,
The Tenneys

Pardon me.

This is my attempt at blogging. It's going to be just above fail because this time I will post what I actually type.

I think we have been busy, I feel like we have been.

Rush is the cutest little dude. He smiles giggles laughs eats and melts my heart all the time. His one little shinny tooth is my favorite. He loves playing with his toys and I love watching him learn and figure things out.

We go back to New Mexico Wednesday. I start classes Monday the 20th. I am going back to school (fight back nausea). I am scared, and excited. Don't worry I bought a back pack I should be fine. Me Dora and backpack.

T is amazing. I love that I have my best friend all the time. It's my favorite about being married. I have read like 2 hours worth of my chick book to him and he loves it. For some reason I love reading to him. (weird)

Anyway I want to do better. I won't promise. But this won't be the last you hear of me.

Enjoy the picture feast.

Bless you all

Sun.burn

Just in time my white body was exposed to the blazing June sun. I burned. I hope I don't peel. It still won't be enough for me to feel comfortable in my own skin (get it) but maybe me and the seesters and brother will lay our bodies out after we play in the pool turning Mom's backyard into what could look like a cemetery.

New goal = exercise. My plan is by the end of the summer I can ride my bike as long as I want, and be able to flex and my arms actually change shape. Realistic I think.

These last couple days I sure have enjoyed the company of my mother. She has been working so my plans  of a playful summer with her have be diminished a bit. I think we will squeeze as much time in together as we can... or I will try to. She is a riot. :)

Anyway this week I will be busy. Doing whatever my heart desires, and my mom asks me to do. I love being home, and I love being a stay at home mom. Thanks Jordo

Until next Time.

If I get the chance

Sometimes I just think. Actually, lots of times I do.

I think about happy things and sad things, things I want to do, things I wish I hadn't. I think about my family and my baby. I think about all I want to become, and things that hold me back, or push me forward. Lately I have been thinking about marriage.

Before the T Junk my longest relationship was 3 months to the day. Kiss 'em and diss 'em right? I liked it like that. I fell in love quick and fell out of love quicker. Anyway this brings me to my thoughts. Not that I am falling out of love by any means, but my thoughts are about falling more and more in love each day. I like how the whole marriage thing works. You pick up each others slack, you work together as a team, you get jokes that no one else will, and you are completely honest and open with each other. It's funny how someone I didn't know 2 years ago is mine forever. It's funny how I can hardly stand do go a day without being with my man.

Some days we fight, some days we don't get a long but all the time we love each other!

This isn't a new thought, it's just a remember.

I just can't get over him

So two reasons why I am posting again about Valentines.

Reason 1: I did a goofy post for Jord before and now I have to show you how cute he is.

Reason 2: From the time I got home from work to the time we went to be was probably the best 7-8 hours I've had in a long time.

Okay yesterdays run down went like this. I woke up to go to work left him his little treat that I got him with a note telling him how madly in love I am with him. Fast forward. I get home and our floor and bed are covered in hearts! (he cut them out so nicely) And he bought me some flowers and m&m's and DARK dove chocolate. It was perfect.

I also have to tell you about the note he left for me. If you were at our luncheon you will think this is extra funny:) it goes like this:
Our love is like a flock of doves
with a dark cloud above them.
The air smells like sweet flowers boughten at safeway
you mean the world to me.
I want to spend my eternity
snuggling More & More with you
if i could describe the perfect girl
i would have to use the letters
T.I.F.F.A.N.Y (that spells your name)
Tiff, you are the light of my world (with a light bulb drawn next to it)
you're my Umbrella (yes with a picture) on a rainy day
Sorry every time i kneel and pray
i thank the lord for blessing me with such a great wife, whose dad's hair is gray.
(I didn't say that ok?)
I'm so glad we have the gospel to share,
because forever families is such a great blessing to bare.
I love you more then life it's self
and yes you are as cute as an elf.
I don't know where i would be without you
I don't even want to think of that life so blue.
Thanks so much for marrying me,
our family and happiness i look forward to see
I love you soooo much Tiff
Love always and forever,
Your hubby dubby, T Jordan Tenney

This is exactly how he wrote it. and if you will notice the bold words/letters that what he got me as a gift:)
{go ahead tell me how fun and cute he is}

Then he had to go to class.. BOO but it was part of the plan cause I planned a romantical homemade dinner for the both of us!


He had some twice baked potatoes, chicken fried STEAK, and broccoli, and salad, and the drink was frozen punch :) YUM. It was most of jord's favs.

We both fibbed to each other to make the surprise even better. We both are cheesy and hopeless romantics.

I seriously fall more in love with him every day. He is perfect for me.

Taaadaaa!!!

Yay! We finally got it done! Thanks to a +50 degree day, and a corner at days inn :)
Here Is the before picture....
This is Jord "killing" it
I missed me painting but.....

Here is the final project!





I put a glaze in the cracks and it made it look soo much better!
I was pretty worried about how it was going to turn out. The color (which is like an ivory color), the glaze, should i have sanded it down? I learned a lot on this one and I can't wait to do the next one :))) it will most likely be THIS color or THIS color :)

This is the post that you have all been.....

Dreading.. My slightly dry and boring post of the past.... MONTH!! (probably) But at least I do have some of those delightfully entertaining things we call pictures.

Basically December consisted of PARTIES! It was rather fun and we made several trips to good ol' Snowflake. That road seems to be getting longer :( :( :( We enjoyed Christmas Eve with Jord's family! It was really nice cause they do a lot of the same stuff that we would have done. We had to sing a song about a family that was drawn for us, we got the Halls! Our song was very funny ... (to Jord and I haha) Christmas night we decided we would just air up a mattress and sleep and Deb's sad thing is their tree lights up the ENTIRE house and the air mattress "sucked" if you know what I mean. To make things worse Jord and I were very excited to wake up and see what Santa brought so we woke up before anyone else! As we sat their on the couch waiting for everyone to get there we wished each other a merry Christmas and you know how everyone says that first Christmas is magical? Well it is. I love that boy with all my heart. Anyway I got him and iPod he was excited but had an idea that's what i got him. He got me a sewing machine and I was very happy :) I had an idea but a wonderful gift it was!! When we got to go to Snowflake I was very happy!! :) I had definitely missed my family and I'm glad that we were able to spend time with them.

Here are some pictures of our HOME! It is kind of a cluttered mess in these pictures BUT I have organized and added pictures and a COUCH so it looks a whole lot better. I just never got around to taking more pictures :(

They are backwards of entry but you get the idea. I mean it's a hotel room... It's pretty basic :)

This is actually a really good picture because you can see how our bathroom sink is also the kitchen sink! Also I have a new love for those plastic drawers!
The box that is holding the food is slowly getting replaced with the new shelves. (Notice I am cooking spaghetti!)

And this big beauty will be the saving grace

This is our Christmas
Hahaha Taylor family Christmas party Jord was the money cow!
This is my first time fishing. I hated it. It was cold, and we didn't catch a thing.


We had a beautiful holiday season.New Years party was pretty fun! It was just my parents and us. Food, little rascals and the ball dropping was a great recipe for a fun night! And mom and I were pretty much the only ones who lasted :)

New years resolutions- I don't know how I feel about them I always want to accomplish them and what not maybe my resolution should be to work harder at keeping my resolutions!!

Happy New Years everyone! 2011!?!?! CRAZY!

It all started....

October 16, 2010

Ok lets go back to the night before. My mom was ironing my temple clothes, and we started talking about the events that would take place the next day. I was anxious and nervous and excited. I had never asked her to be my escort I just always assumed she would. I asked her if she would, and she answered yes. The next day I woke up so happy. As we drove to the temple my nerves were calmed and I realized how great a blessing I would be receiving. When I saw the cute white haired lady just passed the recommend desk I knew she would be the one to help me through it all, and my eyes began to fill with tears. Sister Shelton is the the sweetest lady I know, she was in my ward, and if I could have picked who helped me, I would have picked her.

One of my favorite parts about the temple was seeing junk for the first time upstairs. It just made it all seem even more right. Well with out too much detail the session was beautiful. And while it may seem odd... after I thought about the clothing and special blessing it all seemed like something I have been doing my whole life.

The celestial room was my favorite. Tears of Joy were present in almost everyone. I had been preparing to enter the house of the Lord and receive my endowments for a long time and standing in the most sacred room with family close by just made it even more rewarding and showed me really how important the temple is.



And sad to say I haven't been back. Maybe I'll go early in the morning.
