We are still here!
First of all I want to re-introduce ourselves! Im Melissa... okay just kidding!
I know it has been a long time, we have just had a lot going on!
If we havent seen you in a while it is because we have been a little preoccupied with a few things.
First and foremost, we MOVED!!
Well kind of, we are back in our bedroom and family room!
After a flood destroyed our basement down to the 2x4's we are nearly back to normal.
Thanks to my Dad and Mitch for many hours on their hands and knees, drilling, sweeping, chopping, screwdriving, taping, mudding and sanding it is finally over!
A few weeks ago we had new carpet installed and it almost just almost feels like a new house to us!
Next after almost 4 years of trying to figure out our Legal immigration mess that we have had on our hands, we can happily say that Mitch is safe and sound! No more phone calls back and forth to our lawyers office, no more interviews, no more worrying every single time the door bell rings, we are finally free! I say we because it has been an eye opening experience for me, someone who really didnt know much about our immigration system say even 5 years ago.
Mitch even seems like a different person, sort of like he has let a little bit of his guard down and he is more relaxed. All I can say is that we will probably always continue to pray for those who are going through immigration battles because we know how hard it can be.
We want to thank every single last one of your for the prayers and letters that were written. I know that I mentioned it before but it has been humbling to read the sweet stories that were written.
I cant get any of my pictures to load at the moment but we have done a few projects that I will post in the next little bit.
For now, thanks again for being our friends! We ♥ you!
Mitchie and Meliss

It consists of gather information, phone calls and lots of research.
Recently as most of you know we have had our hands full lately. Basically one problem or situation after another.
I cant talk about it too much right now but today feels like we have finally hit the top of the Mountain that we have been climbing for the last few months. It has been a difficult climb and we have learned a lot but for now, I think we might have just reached the hardest peak to date. We cant get overly confident yet but looking back it has been amazing how many little things have happened either to make us stronger or point out "little tender mercies." I have not been myself for a while now and it feels good to have the "old Melissa" coming out of her shell again. Things happen for a reason and it might be hell going through it at the moment but in the end, I am grateful for my challenges and trials. I think it really makes you look back on recent experiences and shows you where you need to improve either in your personal life i.e. relationships or just in everyday situations. I cant tell you how many times the little phone calls of encouragement came just at the right time when we had just been hit with a major blow. Tonight I am just very grateful for all my dear friends and especially my family.
We ♥ you!

Carpet or Hardwood?!?! That is the question!!
Tonight we went to Home Depot and it was a blast! I have a feeling this mini "remodel" is going to get spendy quick! Maybe a trip to Latienda in Preston, Idaho is in order!
Have a great day ♥ Meliss

After quite a few crummy days, I decided today that it was about time to turn things around. I decided that I was going to make cookies for the neighbors and quit feeling sorry for myself. After calling my mom to get the recipe for the"famous easy chocolate chip cookies" I got to work.
I make what felt like a trillion cookies and baked them up, the entire time trying to decide which neighbors I was going to give them to. The buzzer rang, and I grabbed the hot pad. Snitched a little taste just to make sure that I dont kill them and grabbed the plates.....
WHAT?? WE only have 1 paper plate left? I guess I would have known that if I cooked a little more often than once a week at this point but needless to say, One neighbor got cookies and now I have HOARDS of cookies! Do they freeze? I know that cookie dough does but actual cookies? Probably not! Oh well, its the thought that counts right?
Guess we should have gotten milk and paper plates!

So, I guess I am going to go against what I said I would do and talk about my emotions for one tiny minute. Tonight I missed a call from my Dr. who was calling to confirm that I did indeed have a miscarriage. Due to my dropping HCG levels, its kind of a done deal at this point. For some reason this week has been one of the hardest weeks of my entire life but I have had a very overwhelming feeling of comfort. As most of you know our basement flooded and destroyed our bedroom and at that point, I thought that it was a HUGE deal... Wrong, then the letter came that nearly crushed me last Tuesday regarding our future and I thought at that point that it was a HUGE deal.... wrong. Then while at work I noticed that something was not quite right with my body on Friday and realized that maybe the stress of everything was taking its toll..... This past week or so, there have been quite a few trials and challenges in my family and extended family. For a small moment all I could do is question why? My sweet family came over on Friday and gave Mitch and me a very comforting blessing and within an hour nearly all of my pain was gone. While going through some very challenging things we have still been able to see little "tender mercies" as my mom would put it in our life. I just want to thank all of my wonderful friends and family who have seriously been such a huge support and blessing to us during this very challenging time in mine and Mitch's life. A day at a time... One challenge at a time, we will survive.
♥ you all

This weeks motto
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Howdy! We're back! Sorry it has been a little while! Between the stress of life and the hustle and bustle of our busy jobs, we have been a little preoccupied!
- We have had some kind of fun things going on in our life, Mitch just recently got home from Las Vegas where he was Cameron Rafati's drummer for a few shows. He had an absolute ball! The first things out of his mouth were,
- "I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK!"

They recently were one of the opening bands for Sean Kingston in Logan at Utah State. At one point, USU had counted 4,000 people. Mitch has another show lined up in Vegas for the end of June and I cant wait to go with him and see them perform along with shop at some great places. Have you ever been to Trader Joe's? Its such a fun little store! Anyway, that is all for now! Hope all is well in your world!
♥ Melissa

Tuesdays project!
I had these picture frames that I really didnt know what to do with. I found them at z Gallery and they were a screaming deal but I finally found something to do with them!
My mom has this cool little machine called a Cricket that will cut any shape out of just about anything. My sister and I sat down and started experimenting.

Its especially fun when you go somewhere and they know about your secret little diet coke with Lime addiction.
Me and my girlfriends go to the Bistro
almost weekly and we have our favorite little corner where we sit and tell secrets and giggle.
In that special little corner we laugh and laugh. We call it our "circle of trust" where all is told and nothing is held back. I look forward to our weekly girl getaways but I especially love that everyone there knows us well enough that they bring our condiments and limes/lemons before we can even ask for them. Its simply amazing! Today we snapped a picture to show how amazing it always is! I love our little getaways!

removable wallpaper? Seriously!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaUBVMS49pWHqj5heL4BbwT3wFJzWmmOHovMayNXasNg7bYiJWU8APbG42oJATxORg4CXEyeCBP98OTvOg8acP-HqiBAI_y6nG0-NtFCiPwFASOinEA1fw_qA1LSn2Teb53cSimYzbNiA/s320/wallpaper+1.jpg)
Its always a great day when you find a website that has removable wallpaper! As often as we are changing things, this could actually work out in my favor. I was going to just paint an accent wall but I think this looks like a little more fun. Which color and pattern should we pick for my "girl cave?"
