Goodbye Weekend. Goodbye Summer.

This weekend went by way too fast!!! Why is it that when you are having a wonderful time, it flashes right before your eyes, but when you are bored right out of your mind it drags on forever?
Anyway... What a summer! We had a great opportunity to find ways to entertain ourselves and get to know each other better.
Moved to a new apartment
Made new friends
Learning that an online math class is a bad idea...
We found Bridal Veil Falls Park
Our first camping trip with Tim
Jon and I were in our first show together!
To end the summer we finished Castle season 3 to get ready for season four SEPT 19 WOOT!!!
Saturday we spent the day with my parents shopping for their piping parts and enjoying our freedom. At night we were able to hang out with my best friend growing up, Amberly, and catch up with her. It was nice to have random girl talk while Jon went for milk.
Tonight we had friends over for dinner and then the boys went off to stake priesthood. I am so grateful that we were blessed with a wonderful branch that is so friendly and welcoming.
Well so long summer!
Hello Fall!

My Little Miracle

I realize I haven't written much, if at all, about our little baby boy Timothy. He turns 10 months old today! It's crazy to think that in two months he will be a year old! This year has gone by amazingly fast.
October 19,2010 Timothy David Jens Zabriskie was sent to us at 19.5 inches long and 8 lbs 2 oz at 7:37PM. He was born healthy and strong. He actually gained 2 lbs at his 2 week appointment!
At three months he was pulling himself up by holding onto our hands!
At 8 months he walked by himself!
At 9 months everything was dada.
Can't wait to see what 10 months will bring!

Not My Will, But Thine Be Done Oh Lord

It is always a scary thing when God tells us what he would have us do and it isn't what we had planned. Jon and I went to the temple yesterday and both received an exciting, yet terrifying revelation.
I don't know how many times I have prayed since leaving the temple. I don't know how many times Jon and I have prayed together since then. All I know is that God has confirmed it to my heart every single time that this is what he would have us do.
I hate not being in control, but now we have fully put our lives into his hands.
I pray that I will be confident that God is confident that we can do this. I pray that my family will support God's decision and our decision to follow him.
I am grateful for the temple sealer who followed the spirit to point out the difference between the covenants we had made in the temple when we got married and the covenants made for the dead. If it weren't for him, we never would have felt to pray about this.
I love this gospel and that our Heavenly Father gives us this chance to put our full trust in him.
Father give me strength.
