New Baby

My cousin Colt and his wife Martha had a baby girl two days ago. Maddelynn Jane Taylor Modawell, a pretty long name for such a small baby. She was a little over 6 lbs and is super cute. She was asleep the whole time I held her so I couldn't see her eyes, even though I asked her very nicely to wake up. She sleeps with her mouth open like her Auntie Jackie!!!


This is their second child and I love both their kids very much. Sierra is almost 2 and super funny, "Wha dat? Wha dat?" Plus she always makes a kissy face when I say "Ok, I gotta go Sierra." So I always get my kiss goodbye.

Life is Wonderful

Well, if you have been around Utah, you might have noticed that I, Jackie Atkisson, am still here, although I was scheduled to leave a few days ago. Also, amazingly enough...you might also notice Seth. Well....

SURPRISE!

We are staying in Utah for a little while! How long you ask? A well known and used gesture gives an adequate answer to your well proposed question: shrug.

So yeah, we are in Utah still, together again as husband and wife.

Update on Seth

For all of you who are concerned about Seth being out in the big city, here is an update.

He just moved hostels and is now in one that has a kitchen, so he can buy some groceries finally. It is a nicer place than the one he was in before, but he is really tired of moving around. He booked this place till Monday.

He has been searching out neighborhoods and walking around the entire city getting a feel for the different areas. He called me last night to tell me he found the perfect neighborhood for us. Anywhere around Prospect Park in Brooklyn, he loved it. He is searching diligently for a sublet for us to lease for a few months. He is looking at a place tonight that sounds perfect: good price, great neighborhood, and good timing. Hopefully he likes it a lot. :)

We are praying so hard for him to find a job. He is having many interviews in the next couple days, hopefully he can get something going pretty soon and the stress of finding a job will be over.

If anything else happens I will post about it, right now we are just playing the same waiting game, although 'game' indicates that it is fun, but it is not.

Good Friends and Yellowstone

Although, I did not see much yellow stone, more like normal looking stone. Friday we traveled up to Rexburg Idaho to visit Cat and Daniel who moved out of Provo in January. We have missed them a ton. Cat and I became really close and I have really missed just going over to her place and hanging out talking for hours. We decided to go up there and see them before we leave Utah and it was so fun! Rexburg is a cute little town and there is an LDS temple there that is absolutely beautiful!

Friday night we just stayed up late and talked and talked. Saturday we woke up and Cat cut my hair SOOOO cute. I absolutely love it! Then we headed over to Yellowstone. It was raining but not too bad. We drove around and saw how gorgeous that place was, and saw lots of animals. No bears and no moose though; that was quite a bummer. We watched Old Faithful blow and smelt the other geysers, yuck.



While we were walking around the geyser trails three of them started to go off. It was crazy, I almost tackled Cat out of fear! Seth ran into the steam of one of them and smelled like rotten eggs for awhile after that. It was such a fun weekend!
