"Where in the world are" ....Tim and Kelsey Murdock?


You all thought that Tim and I fell off the face of the earth for a few months. We did. Between trying to find a job, moving, and getting in a wreck we've been slightly busy. However, in these stressful months we have been greatly blessed.


After applying at several places I was hired at the Plasma Center. It is extremely difficult to find a job in Rexburg because of all the college students and I know that our prayers were answered. Out of twenty girls that interviewed for the position, only another girl and I were hired. I'm working as a Donor Processor and believe me, it's a great stress reliever to poke people;)


We are also finally settled down in our new apartment after basically being kicked out of two apartments due to managerial mistakes. The move was super quick because we didn't know we were moving until the day before. Although our new apartment is a lot smaller than our last one, it's home and a much less expensive home. Likewise, all the floors were replaced with new carpet and tile before we moved in. Now we don't have to wear socks or slippers 27/7. Also, with the help of Mom, we did a mini renovation of the apartment with a can of paint, some plaster, and some new fixtures. Huge difference! We wouldn't have been able to move as easily without Mom and our apartment wouldn't be nearly as nice without her help either. We're grateful to have her so close to us.


In the midst of all of this, one day Tim was driving home from campus and was t-boned by another driver. The guy who turned into Tim also happened to be driving his roommates car. Needless to say, the encounter was quite heated. It was also a mess trying to get his insurance to pay for our car, which had over two thousand dollars worth of damages, to get fixed. However, the Malibu is feeling better and looks brand new and despite the entire event we were once again blessed that Tim was unharmed.


Life is much quieter now and I plan on boring all ya'll to death with my not-so-dramatic-soon-to-come-blogs.

Honey "Bunny" Moon

I think I can count the number of times I have called Tim, Tim on one hand since we've been married. We only use pet names. Sick I know! I wouldn't have it any other way though. Tim is my best friend and I still can't believe how blessed I am for having him in my life. Ok enough of this sap and onto the honeymoon, the point of this blog.

Tim and I vacationed in California and it was absolutely amazing. It made me wonder why I suffer these cold and never-ending ending ending ending winters in Idaho...and then I almost drowned in a wave playing at the beach. Luckily Tim was there to save me. Just like when he spared my life and didn't kill me when I lost my driver's license the day before we were supposed to fly out for our honeymoon. No worries though, it was in my scriptures, at my house, with my family, where we weren't supposed to be on our honeymoon. Crisis averted thanks to Dad and we were on our way in just a few hours. As mentioned before we hit the beach first, had a magical day at Disneyland, and almost got jumped by a bunch of punk teenagers in scary masks. It was SO much fun and we plan on going back asap!

Before the pictures though I want to thank all of you who made our honeymoon possible and helped us have a wonderful time without spending a ton of money. We love you!

That's one big mouse....

Home Sweet Apartment

This is where Tim and I kick it in Rexburg. It was a lot of fun to put together and only took two days, and 5 no 7 no..... A LOT of carloads to move us in. Luckily my parents were kind enough to help us haul up a lot of our furniture and Tim's shoes. You'd think that boy was a girl. Just kidding--Tim has been living in our apartment since July and it was all of my stuff that weighed down our cars. Now, its home and I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather be...except the beach.

Here's a written walkthrough:

Our living room window faces a lovely field of weeds but it also frames the beautiful temple. Our bedroom window faces the highway but...okay nothing positive about that. No it's not really that bad and we're used to the noise now. That's where I let the pictures take over. If you can't catch the vision of what it looks like, guess you'll just have to come visit.
