Visit from Rhett, Holly, and Lucy!

We had a short and awesome visit from Rhett, Holly and Lucy. We just had time to show off the new house, Wii, Battlefield Russian quotes, church, the slag flow, pictures, staying up all night with two crying babies, and some eating.

I am going back to school!

Well I am very excited to tell everyone that I just applied to ISU and I am so excited! I have missing school so bad. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mother, but I love learning as well. I am just full of butterflies, and I haven't even sent my transcripts in yet. I have been giving myself a little guilt trip for having the desire to become more educated. I don't want to leave Libby, and sometimes I feel like it will make me a bad mom if I leave her with someone. I have just been thinking a lot about it lately and decided I need to finish. Libby is old enough that she can be left with someone ( at least for the Spring semester, then she can be with dad for summer) for a couple of hours. This is something I need to do for myself, and I constantly have to remind myself that it is not a bad thing to do something for me once in a while ;). I only had a year left at Weber State, so we will see after the credits transfer over, I would regret it if I didn't go and finish. I don't want all of that 4 years of hard work to be for nothing. I also was thinking, what if something happened to Nick? How would we pay the bills? I don't like to even think about it, but reality is, it could happen. They have a general music program also, and I think that is what i want to do, but I still have to look into it a little bit more. YAY!

Summer's End

I love summer. It s by far the very best season. Here is a little video of our past summers and we look forward to fall and winter for some new adventures. Every season has it's perks. I love the cool crisp fall sweater weather. There is a little nip in the air that lets you know cold is coming. The people in Grace love to ask me if I like snow, so I think this winter will be a doozy.

I can only name six quirks?

Well Since I am limited to only six, let me think here......

The one that bothers Nick the most is that I squeeze the toothpaste from the middle of the tube. I know this bothers him because he tells me, but I guess it doesn't bother me at all, so I have never stopped.

I have just realized that i don't like apple cider because it tastes like apple pie. I like apple pie, so I don't know what the deal is with that. Weird.

I have this deep, embedded love for buffalo. When I was in High school, my family and I went to Yellowstone and saw about a hundred. I was obsessed for a while, but now I just like them. I didn't tell Nick that, but on our first date he made a buffalo sound.(next time you see him, ask him to show you.) That is why we got married.

I am the Vice of the Enemenopee society. It is a club that my cousin and I started while we were camping. There is a big list of stupid rules, and to join you have to eat a well ketchupped, well roasted marshmallow. So far we have around 40 members that range from family to friends to obscure relative friends (feel free to join). I even sent out a newsletter once.

Dumb jokes. Need I say more. Nick's favorite is: I say "Holy Cow!" as I pass a cow pasture and anyone caught looking at the cattle is pointed and laughed at. Here's another: What's Beethoven's favorite fruit? Ba-na-na-naaaa.

I like to give my plants (and fat spiders) names. I have a tree named Bob, a cactus named Jethro, and a catface spider named Jimmy. Care to meet them?
