Summer 2013

I have been slacking on this blog! I promise to be better from now on since I have more time now. Summer has been amazing! With a internship that turned into a job, ridiculous amounts of watermelon, sun tanning, morning running, bike rides, babysitting my favorites, and family time we have been spoiled!

more catch up later!

Packing has started as well as realizing we have far too much crap already. Andrew has to remind me not to throw everything away....its just so much easier;) I feel like all I have been doing is just making little messes here and there and getting nothing done. Its a little frustrating and I officially hate moving. Sadly I keep thinking this is only the start of our many moves in the future that we will be having. Not to mention when we have kids and then they have more crap I will for sure throw a lot more away then ahahah kidding. As for everything else things have been going really good. I am ready to get back to a schedule and not having as much free time as I have right now. Andrew is studying away getting ready for his finals and tests he has this week so he will be busy. Its such a bitter sweet moment to be leaving for the summer to see our family, but leaving our friends we have made here is a little sad. Luckily our favorite friends will be here when we get back so its not too sad. Lets not talk about when Andrew graduates and we leave we might be a little emotional. Overall this whole Rexburg experience has turned out to be such a wonderful experience for us both. I know I was a little nervous about moving to such a small place but because of the school it brings in a lot of amazing people that make it tolerable! We have been truly blessed the first months of our marriage and we couldn't have asked for a better ward and friends to start our married life. So i guess we owe this Burg a thank you and a see you in the fall!

Summer Plans

Life of late has been kinda bonkers in my book. I kinda feel like we have been running around with our heads cut off trying to figure out our summer plans. Andrew is going to be doing his internship and also taking the DAT (semi yikes moment about to happen around June) and I will be working back at my favorite place! But we weren't sure when we would be heading back to Rexburg or if we would make a pit stop in Reno for Andrew to test out his selling skills. But we have officially decided that it will be best if we stay as long in Moscow as possible. We feel we need to be home to help out his family his dad had a four wheeling accident so the more help they can get with the farm the better. And I am super happy to be home longer and also to stop with this roller coaster of if we should sell or not we have been on for the past few months. Andrew and I were talking the other night about how nice it will be to have each other all night long in the summers I have been having to share with all his homework for far too long;) I am so incredibly blessed to have such a hard working, studious husband that boy spends so much time studying and getting good grades. He is pretty much amazing and he's all mine:)
We also will do a little family trip with my family to the Oregon coast which we are super excited for. I love that place so much and Andrew loves anywhere with water really. We are hoping that once we are all done with school we will possibly end up in that area to settle. So this is going to be a little tester to confirm we love the place as much as previous times we have been.
Its insane to think only two more weeks until we head back to home! But before that we have the dreaded move and oooooh i loath moving.

Random thoughts

At this household there has been a lot of opening and resealing and tearing of envelopes. I have been trying to get all of our taxes done and its been a NIGHTMARE! seriously the most stressful annoying thing I have ever had to do. Luckily this is the only year we wont be able to do e-filing so yes that deserves a much needed excited scream or something. I even lamely took a picture of me putting it in the mail and almost posted it to instagram then decided that was a little ridiculous and that I wanted to keep my friends.
Other news we have been really busy trying to get everything ready for our move in April. I can't believe we will be heading home so soon but it will be a much needed change of scenery. We will however miss our friends we have made here. We went to dinner and a comedy show last night with out favorite couple friends it was so much fun! and of course I ate too much and laughing after was a bit of a challenge but a much needed laughter. Andrew had made it seem like it was going to be lame but honestly it wasn't I didn't even have to fake laugh (I do that sometimes to make people feel good its an issue.) When we got home we decided that we have found the best couple friends out there and plan to never let them leave us so sorry Matt and Michelle you are living wherever we end up;) It has been a good 2 semesters in the Burg for sure. In the end I have realized that  living in Rexburg has taught me a lot about myself and has also shown how incredibly blessed I am. I was blessed with a job yes it was kinda an awful job but it was a job and it brought money in. But through that job I have made good friendships and some that will last a lifetime. I never wanted to say Rexburg will have a lot of happy moments in the beginning of our marriage but it does. I love being a wife and getting to hang out with my best friend everyday. Rexburg you've been good to us!

As of late things have been oddly very routine. I head to work and Andrew heads to school then we get home around the same time eat dinner and then relax and call it a night. I was just thinking about this the other day how crazy life gets and at times you fall into a lame routine. On the other hand it has been a huge blessing being able to have the schedules that we do spending time together is so nice and now that I am working mornings I always get to spend the evening with Andrew.
The weather right now is really bi-polar some days it feels like spring is here while others threaten that winter will never end with random blizzards. We have decided that Rexburg will never be a destination we call home forever so we can deal with it right now.
On feb 24th we celebrated our 6 month mark! I am so incredibly blessed to have married such a sweet man that truly treats me like a queen. I couldn't have picked a better companion to go through this crazy life with and have for eternity. And this 6 month mark had me looking though pictures of us again bringing back wonderful memories that we have had. needless to say i love this boy like crazy!

As of late

Those close to me know i'm not a huge fan of Valentines day and honestly I don't really have a reason. I have never had a bad experience with it and I haven't been single for a valentines in a long time so I really don't know why i dislike the holiday so much. I could be the fact I think its a ridiculous hype over nothing really. I mean you should be telling the ones you love i love you all the time not just on this silly day. I'm also not a huge fan of the color combo that is combined. But on the other hand i love getting packages in the mail and my momma is always good about sending things on holidays its the sweetest.
Other news i need a camera desperately!!!! Andrews says I can't get a camera until i'm pregnant and this makes me at times wish i was...then I remember I don't want a child right now.
the weather here is still  not glorious but its also not as horrible as it has been. I am still trying to get use to the  bitter wind that seems to always be here. I have been informed every time i complain that it is really nice in the summer which doesn't help me any because we will be gone. But i guess its the thought that counts right? right!  

First of all lets talk about how awful I am about blogging....im beyond awful and im done saying I will be better because honestly I probably won't;) Secondly lets talk about the fact that it snowed a butt load last night. I had forgotten that my car was green because it was covered in snow...yeah that ridiculous. Third lets talk about how intense Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is right now...I was literally on the edge of my seat while all this Brandi business went down. And then once Andrew informed me that my mouth was open and i had no clue it was I felt that I should take a breather from the drama.

and lets just laugh about this for a good hour
