So much to do, so little time..

It has been a crazy past week and I know it will only get even more crazy! Landon and I have been running everyday, trying to prepare for our 5k in 2 weeks and boy it has tired me out! I have no idea how I am going to be able to run a 5k but I'm hoping that a miracle will happen and I will finish and it will feel amazing! Like I mentioned in another post, Landon received a pell grant and we were so excited, but we hadn't heard anything about my grant and if I was going to receive one. We checked everyday and there was nothing. Finally, today was the day! I looked online and saw that I was awarded a pell grant too! YAY! We love to see blessings! It really helps up out because books are NOT cheap. School is taken care of..for now.

On Friday, Landon and I went to his friend, Julia's, reception and we saw the prettiest sunset ever! Okay, so it wasn't the prettiest but the picture I got was way sweet! Not too bad for just a digital camera, and for taking it while the car was moving and I was shooting through the front windshield!

On Saturday, Landon and I hiked the Y with our good friends, Hayley and Jake. They got married a week before us, so they are in the newly-married boat along with us. We had such a good time. Jake has NEVER hiked the Y so it was fun to be there for his first time.

I didn't think I was going to be sore because Landon and I had been running everyday so I thought it would be a piece of cake..boy was I wrong. I woke up on Sunday and found places to be sore that I thought would never be sore! What a difference there is in running and hiking...you think I would know that but I guess it didn't cross my mind. I have no idea how I am going to have the strength to run tonight..

Sunday was such a glorious day! Landon and I went with Mom, Dad, Chad, and Alyssa to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication. It was so neat! I remember going to one when I was really little but I didn't remember a thing so it was like everything was new to me! I just love temples and we are so blessed to have so many in Utah.

School starts on Wednesday and I am not too excited about it. I used to love school...I don't know what happened. I am just ready to be done and I still have a good two years. I am going to start the education program in the Spring so once that gets going hopefully it will fly by and I will graduate. Amongst going to school, being a newlywed, and trying to work, there is little time to sleep. I am really trying to manage everything and it is getting really tough. This next semester is going to be interesting.

The Day to Ourselves!

This is a picture that Landon and I took when his old mission buddy was in town. But, we did go here today and it was so beautiful! The flowers are stunning!

Today was the first day, besides a Saturday, that Landon and I had the same day off from work and it was so wonderful! We woke up and found out that Landon was given a pell grant for school. WOHOO! It was such a blessing to see that on his uvu account. Then we slowly got ready to go to the temple and had such a wonderful time doing a session. I just love going to the Lord's house. We went to the Provo temple since it is so close but maybe next week we can go to a different one. We'll see! That's the joy of being in Utah..so many different choices! After the temple, we just came home, cuddled up on the couch, and watched a movie. I love just being with him and not having to care about anything for a few hours!

Landon has decided to play on a softball team with some of his buddies so we went to his game tonight. He has so much fun out there and I really don't mind watching. It is pretty fun to sit back and watch your husband goof off with his friends and have a great time playing sports.

We have also decided that we are going to run a 5K in September so training has begun, so to speak. We have started running everyday and it is actually feeling pretty good! We did 200 meter sprint intervals tonight and it felt great. We have been alternating back and forth with distance and interval sprints. I think it might be helping..well I can't really tell yet because it has only been day 3 of consistant running but it's a good start! After running, we went to see the Weber baby that I mentioned before in another post. She is just as precious as before. Such a cute little girl. We are actually running the 5K with Sophie and Andrew so we are going to have a great time!

I know it doesn't seem like much for a day off, but it was the best weekday off yet! We did have a Saturday off together a few weeks ago that is number 1 on best days off. We went to see the Rowley's (Landon's sister and her family) in Logan. That was such a great day! We loved being able to see our nieces, Aubrey and Carlee, and also see Lenae and Nate. So much fun! I hope there are many more days off together!

Grandma's Birthday!

Today has been a very special day! Landon and I went to mom and dad's house with the whole family to celebrate Grandma Kingston's birthday! I was able to make some fruit salad, which surprisingly good. We had a wonderful bbq meal! I love getting to know more of the extended family. The weekend has been nothing but working and sleeping. Landon and I have been working a lot, but we still find time to run and be with each other. I have found that making homemade pizza is WAY better than Pizza Hut. We got this really cool pizza stone and made homemade pizza last night. Oh man, that was the best pizza I have ever eaten! On Friday we had date night ( a date a week is the rule) and saw The Proposal at the movie theater. That movie is really cute. We had a great night out. Today has also been a really exciting day for our friends! Andrew and Sophie Weber had the joy of bringing a new life into this world! Evelyn Kennedy Weber was born at 1:28pm. She was 5 lbs 15 oz and 19.5 in long. Such a healthy baby! I can't wait to see her tonight! Landon and I are so blessed to have such wonderful friends. My life just keeps getting better and better!

Blessings are SO real!

SO much has been going on. Landon and I have just been working like crazy to get ready for school. We have been trying to get into shape as well and have been trying to run everyday..notice the word TRYING. We are doing better than we were but it is still pretty tough. When I married Landon, I became a Utah resident. With school, because I became a Utah resident, I lost my scholarship and was put on a waiting list for the instate student scholarship. I was told that there was probably no chance of me getting that scholarship back and I was devestated. Yesterday, after I got out of work, I went to check the mail before walking into our apartment and there it was..the scholarship I was told would probably not come! I was so excited! I received a scholarship that would pay $1,732 each semester. Mine and Landon's faith in tithing and fasting just grew stronger. YAY for blessings!

The Beginning!

This is my first time blogging so bear with me. Hello to all! This is Landon and Stefani Kingston and we just got married! Landon thought it would be neat to have our own blog so we can track our life together, and because both of his older sisters have one with their families. I guess we are following tradition, so Natalie and Lenae, you are going to have to help me on this because I have NO idea what I am doing. lol I will have to write later because we are going to play some games with the family, but I will tell you all about how Landon and I met and our magic love story together!
