I think it's obvious we are definitely due for a new post! I can't believe it's already half way through February! It seems the new year has just begun. Cody and I just recently passed our "one year engagment anniversary" which means we have almost been married a whole year! I know it's cliche, but time seriously flys when you're having fun! We have had a wonderful nine months together. I have been blessed with the perfect man, made just for me. He is my best friend, and is better than I could have ever dreamed up. I just feel so blessed. Though it has been the usual busy, busy, busy...Cody and I are enjoying this stage of our lives to it's fullest. On late night study nights, we try to pump ourselves up to stay awake as late as possible. If we feel the sleepy eyes coming, we'll jam on our guitars (I acutally just started lessons to share this hobby with Cody), take a few laps around the apartment, or whatever else it takes to wake us up! School isn't the easiest, but it's a blast when you get to share it with your honey!:)
A few highlights from the past month...
We've started out the semester well. I'm taking a lighter load of 12 credits (two of which consist of guitar and billiards) and Cody is taking 17 credits...what a trooper! My classes include Int. Accounting 2, Corporate Finance, Discussions w/business leaders, and Income Taxation (perfect time of year for a tax class, I know). Cody is taking Organic Chemistry 2, Microbiology, DAT prep, Advanced Spanish Grammar, Pre-dental orientation, and Billiards. We are also taking an Institute class where we buddy up with special needs friends and help them along during the class. We have really enjoyed it! They have such strong testimonies and are so sweet! We will be applying for dental shcool this Spring. Wish us luck! Cody's been busy with volunteer hours at the hospital and shadowing a variety of denists to help out with his application. We know whether we get in this year or the next, it will be the right time. We just finished our first wave of tests and are preparing for the crash test week right before Spring Break. It's going to be craziness!
Grandma Christensen's funeral was very special. I think the hardest part is seeing how much Grandpa loves and misses her. Cody said he had never seen grandpa cry until he saw grandma at the viewing. The family has really rallied around him though. I know Cody's uncle and his family stayed an extra week to spend Valentines Day and his birthday with him. Cody prepared the eulogy for Grandma and did such a wonderful job. I didn't know what an incredible writer he is! I'm sure Grandma was very proud. Mom C. and Tayli were going to sing "Teach Me to Walk in the Light" but Tayli didn't feel well at all the morning of the funeral and so Mom C. and Dad C. sang what Mom C. was going to sing, and Cody and I took Tayli's part. Talk about nerve wrecking! I was not planning on performing, but it was much better finding out 5 min. before the funeral rather then letting the nerves build the entire week:) It turned out just fine and I'm glad I was able to participate in the program. Grandma was such a special woman, and was so prepared for the next life. We miss her very much.
Last night we attended the Jazz Game in the Eclipse Suite. It was super fun. I was sad when we heard we missed the World Wide Training Broadcast. We must have missed the memo. We heard how wonderful it was from just about everyone! We checked on lds.org to see if we could find anything about it, but it just had a message saying they'll have something up before the end of the month. We're excited for this summer though. I recently signed on to be the office manager for the Indianapolis/Columbus, OH office this summer. I'm excited for the experience and to get lots of internship credit!:) Yeah!
It was so nice to have Mom and Dad Moon up in Logan today. They came to hear us speak in Sacrament meeting and to have a Sunday lunch. They are such supportive parents. We are lucky to have them. Cody and I spoke on Proverbs 17:17 "A friend loveth at all times." Another couple spoke on the same thing so there was lots of love in the air...maybe they planned that for Valentines Day? Much of my talk included quotes from The Peacegiver, a book by James Ferrell. If you haven't already read it...I HIGHLY recommend it!
Well this is a sum up of what has been happening with the Cutler Clan in Logan. We love you.

Sounds like you guys are doing great. I agree-you two were made for each other. Isn't it wonderful to have found that special someone! :) I will have to add that book to my list to read, sounds like a good one.
I so enjoy getting caught up on your life...thanks for sharing all the details...I can totally relate to the late nights studying. I want to hear more about Indianapolis...that is SO close to us you know...we have friends that live there too!
Surprised me. I think I must have checked your blog like a thousand times to see an update. Finally! I can always look forward to reading long posts cause it's been too long. I miss you guys and am glad to hear about everything going on in your lives. It sounds like you are livin it up. I too miss being in school with Nate. It was a party. Being involved in some of the same things together. Being able to relate with eachother like that. Sometimes I wish I could be in school right now, but that wish usually fades after like a minute. I love my life just the way it is!
Christine: Indianapolis is SO close! I didn't realize until I looked at a map. All we have to do is jump right over Kentucky and there we are:) Hopfully we can visit sometime this summer. We would love to see you and your new home. We'll arrive May 5 and leave August 16. We may even move to Columbus, OH part way through...we just never know. Either way, we'll be just a state or two away. Now I'm even more excited! What city do you live in exactly?
Millie! Sounds like you have a lot to tell me about next time we talk . . . hopefully it's soon :) I'm glad that everything is going well and that you are getting some wonderful opportunities. Love you both and thanks for the update!
