It's a good way to journal, and I also want our families to know what we're up to.<br /><br />Here's just some random facts about our life right now.<br /><br />1. I work at Bright Horizons in Salt Lake. I am a toddler teacher and my kids are between 1 and 2. They're seriously the cutest things ever. Most of their parents work at the University Hospital.<br /><br />2. Jonathan is still working on his master's degree at the U in Computer Graphics.<br /><br />3. Jonathan is looking for a job right now. So far he hasn't had luck, but we're praying and keeping our fingers crossed that something will happen.<br /><br />4. We love our apartment, but if Jonathan gets a job we'll have to move out because this is low income housing. My job=low income....Jonathan with a job=above the limit. Oh how I wish my job paid more.<br /><br />5. After some convincing we finally started watching The Office and we love it. We've watched the whole series all the way through and are going through them again. We like to have a show to watch together.<br /><br />6. My co-teacher Elisa convinced me to join the Institute Choir and we have so much fun going every week. The music this semester hasn't been the best, but we still have fun. We also go to a Book of Mormon class every week while J is in a night class.<br /><br />7. Everyone asks how the dogs have adjusted to Utah. We kind of think this is a funny question :) They're just dogs. It's not like they won't sleep well in a new place. As long as they're in the bed with us, they're fine :) But really they've had a great time here. We take them on more walks and we have a nice hallway that they like to run back and forth in.<br /><br />8. There's a Costco about 2 minutes away from our apartment and we love it! We go on a date there at least once a month and buy some stuff, but usually just wander around and look at the fun new things.<br /><br />9. I have gotten sick so much since I started my job. I know it comes with the territory, but I want to hurry up and build up my immune system so I'm not sick all the time. Knock on wood, but I haven't been sick in a little while now. Back in September I even threw up for the first time in 18 years! It was quite the experience, let me tell you. Jonathan actually gets sick a lot too. I think I carry it to him a lot without actually getting sick myself.<br /><br />10. I feel like I need 10 things, but I can't really think of anything else, so I'll just say that I cut my hair recently and show a picture. It looks much better in person. I'm really not good at taking pictures of myself.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/S5SmdzYcfhI/AAAAAAAAAU0/G5KGjepDn74/s1600-h/18861_608043156414_193300033_34578443_2984503_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/S5SmdzYcfhI/AAAAAAAAAU0/G5KGjepDn74/s320/18861_608043156414_193300033_34578443_2984503_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446160880336928274" border="0" /></a>Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-2683811995323989502009-04-21T23:59:00.004-06:002009-04-22T00:12:33.137-06:00Back from the dead.Can you believe I'm blogging? I can hardly believe it myself!<br /><br />So much has happened the past few months. We finished our winter semester a week and a half ago and yesterday started our last first day at BYU-Idaho! We are so excited! (Although I think I'm more excited than J.) It's such a strange feeling to almost be done. It's bittersweet though. I wasn't one that was completely excited to go to college, but now I'm really starting to enjoy what I'm learning. Maybe that means a Masters is in my future at some point.<br /><br />Speaking of Masters.....J got accepted to the <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/">University of Utah Master's program</a>! He's totally pumped. He's on the computer graphics and<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_visualization"> scientific visualization</a> track. I think I get the jist of it, but most of the time I still smile and nod when he talks.<br /><br />Graduation from BYU-I is July 23 and J starts in Salt Lake on August 24th. That means that, in true Sarah fashion, I have been looking for apartments since before he even applied to school there. There are tons of choices, but I have no idea where we'll be. Ideally, we'd have full sized washer and dryer hook ups so that we could take our stuff, a kitchen that opens to the living room and (wishful thinking) a fenced backyard for the doggies. I'm actually finding a lot of good stuff from craigslist, but no one wants to hold their awesome deal until August. But if anyone knows of any good apartments, let me know!<br /><br />This semester I'm taking a class called Administrative Issues. I was warned that a lot of people hate this class and it's a lot of work, but I'm super excited! We basically pretend we are putting together a preschool, after school program, etc. We have to create a handbook for the center with all kinds of things from a business plan and budget to child abuse prevention. I think it'll be great experience for the real world and will look awesome on a resume.<br /><br />I feel like I'm missing some important information, but I guess not. It must just be my excitement with graduating. I got a hair cut, but that's nothing too exciting.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-b.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-snc1/v2622/48/83/193300033/n193300033_33284473_796216.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 355px; height: 473px;" src="http://photos-b.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-snc1/v2622/48/83/193300033/n193300033_33284473_796216.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Oh, and we did go to California last week to visit.

They're very cute (except for when they poo on the floor), enjoy hanging out with each other (except for when Milton chases Chloe around the apartment with socks in her face) and are very well behaved (except for when they tear up your bathroom while you're gone and chew up every single one of your makeup brushes).<br /><br />I swear they're great dogs and will love you forever!<br /><br /><small>I promise I love my dogs.

One more week! But this last week has about 7 tests for me :( Jonathan's semester is wrapping up at about the same pace that the rest of the semester went. My teachers decided to lay it on thick. I had two group projects due last Friday with a paper as well. Now I have 7 tests. Oh well, it'll all be over soon.<br /><br />Thanksgiving was great. We went down to Utah to see my mom, brother and sister-in-law. Of course we got to see the rest of the step family too which was fun. We exchanged Christmas presents with Daniel and Sarah which was awesome. We wish we could see them a lot more.<br /><br />I'm so excited to have most of our Christmas shopping done! If we don't have it yet, we at least know what we're getting. Then comes wrapping! I just love everything about giving Christmas presents. Thinking of what they'd like, going out to find it, and coming home and wrapping it up. J and I need to go get a Christmas tree so I can start wrapping his presents and sticking them under them.<br /><br />I just love Christmas!Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-42779036909518296812008-10-27T17:12:00.004-06:002008-10-27T17:42:55.134-06:00Christmas is coming!It has been a busy couple of weeks. There's a lot that's been going on, so I'm probably going to have to separate this in sections.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">School right now:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>I've been busy with some papers and things, but nothing compared to Jonathan. He's had this ridiculous group (and by group I mean the entire class) project that's taking up all of his time. On Saturday he was at school from 8-6 working on said project and is actually up on campus working on it right now. Its so frustrating! Probably more for him than for me, but I just want my husband back!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">School in the future:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></span>Our plans have changed and it looks like Jonathan and I will both be graduating this coming July. I'll have to do an internship in the fall, but we'll both be free and clear by that point! Jonathan is working on grad school applications right now because he immediately wants to start working on a PhD. The great thing is, PhD students get to go to school for free and get a living stipend on top of that! We're super excited and are crossing our fingers for the University of Utah in Salt Lake. He's going to apply a bunch of places, but UofU just feels right to us.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Family stuff:<br /></span>About 3 weeks ago, Jonathan's sweet grandma (Grammy) had a stoke. She's been in Washington and Arizona like she always is in the summers and was in Arizona when she had the stroke. She was in and out of the hospital and passed late Friday night. Its such a bittersweet thing. Everyone is going to miss her a ton, but we know that she wanted to go and see her husband again. This is what she wanted and that makes it easier to let her go. There's going to be a graveside service on Saturday in Orem and then a memorial service for her up here on Tuesday. Its hard, but we'll get through it. This year has been so hard on us with death. First Jonathan's grandma, then my grandpa, and now his other grandmother. There have been others as well. The number of people that I've actually known that have passed this year is alarming to me. It just makes me wonder what Heavenly Father is planning up there :)<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span>In other news, Melissa's baby is ready to come any day now! She's not due until November 8th, but I'm thinking she's going to go earlier than that. We're all excited to meet the little guy and see who he looks like.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span>Also, Jonathan's birthday is Sunday the 2nd. He's not very excited, so I'm being excited for him! Yay for being 24! haha<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Church:<br /></span>I am officially the Relief Socitey assistant secretary. I didn't even know something like that existed. I'm happy that I have something to contribute to the ward though. We're just waiting for J to get a calling. They just merged our ward with another one so everything is getting shifted around.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />The Holidays:<span style="font-weight: bold;"> <span style="font-size:78%;">I said this post would be long haha<br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;">We are spending Thanksgiving down in Utah with my mom, Tom and his kids and Daniel, Sarah and Luke! I couldn't be more excited. J has to take his GRE a couple days before Thanksgiving so we'll be doing that right as we get there, but then it will just be great fun getting to see family again!<br /><br />Christmas will be spent at J's parent's house and I'm looking forward to it a lot. Christmas at his house is way fun, but then also laid back just the right amount (this can be a hard task considering how many people there are!) I want to start my Christmas shopping now, but I know that if I do I'll be disappointed that I won't have anything to do for another 2 months.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />So that's life.

Every two or three years for the past six years I've done a major chop to my hair.<br /><br />Part of me thinks it is time once again.<br /><br />A few months ago I was seriously considering this and now I can't get it off my mind.<br /><br />Here's my reasoning.<br />1. My hair is pretty damaged from its previous run in with bleach. If I cut it off it'll grow back healthier so next time its long I'll really love it.<br />2. I love when I have my hair long and actually done<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v251/48/83/193300033/n193300033_32407945_8066.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v251/48/83/193300033/n193300033_32407945_8066.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>like this picture...but that doesn't happen very often.<br />3. Short hair would be so much easier. I could take a shower at night like I do now, let it dry overnight and straighten it in the morning. My 45 minute routine like the picture about could be turned into about 10.<br />4. I'd do my hair more often and feel more put together.<br /><br />The thing is, I love my hair when its long. But it just never gets done so it always looks pretty gross.<br /><br />If you need some help deciding, here's some old pictures of when my hair was shorter.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SNbSXxnGdaI/AAAAAAAAAH8/arAHfY6yHXg/s1600-h/efy+2005+203.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SNbSXxnGdaI/AAAAAAAAAH8/arAHfY6yHXg/s320/efy+2005+203.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248613721643054498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/cast_party.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/cast_party.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Oh, and just for reference, I'm getting my hair dyed a darker brown (hopefully without red) this same time.<br /><br />So....what do you think?Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-15460328825823459862008-09-17T20:02:00.002-06:002008-09-17T20:19:11.250-06:00Tag, I'm it!<span style="font-weight: bold;">I was just thinking I needed to update again and Kelli tagged me to do this, so yay!<br /><br />5 things on my “To Do” list</span><br /><br />1.Do some dishes<br />2.Paint my nails<br />3.Go turn in my resume and fill out an application at the chiropractic place<br />4.Wash my hair<br />5.Study Spanish<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5 jobs I've had</span><br /><br />1.Receptionist for a real estate place<br />2.Babysitter<br />3.Umm...<br />4.This is embarrassing...<br />5.Hey I'm working on it!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />5 places I've lived</span><br /><br />1.Old house in Brentwood<br />2.New house in Brentwood<br />3.Single apartment in Rexburg<br />4.Evil Cougar Court<br />5.Sugar City-Where I am now<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />5 things you probably didn't know about me</span><br /><br />1.I spit up a TON as a baby, but have only actually thrown up twice in my life.

Our old apartment was two bedrooms. We have gotten used to two bedrooms. One as a bedroom and the second as an office. That worked for us here too.<br /><br />The boys stacked almost everything we owned into the extra bedroom when we moved in. That was great. It made it so that all of the clutter was in the one room we didn't even need.<br /><br />Last week I was sick of wasting space. So I decided to tackle our extra room.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SLdRmxuYvQI/AAAAAAAAAG0/nmI9dBFqdu4/s1600-h/00005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SLdRmxuYvQI/AAAAAAAAAG0/nmI9dBFqdu4/s320/00005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239746418093636866" border="0" /></a>I feel like such a disgusting person looking at this picture.

I was pushing through hoping I could get it done in two days. What a joke! My motivation started to wane and I was afraid I'd end up with two messy rooms. The extra room and the living room that had inherited a lot of the junk from clearing out the extra room.<br /><br />After a couple days of not doing much in the room, I realized its purpose.

I would eat some cereal in the morning and then feel the milk in the pit of my stomach all day long. Some other, not so pretty, bodily functions would follow and I finally realized that I just can't tolerate milk.<br /><br />Luckily mine isn't that bad. The only things I can't eat are milk, sour cream, ice cream, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. However, if I wanted those things all I had to do was pop in a magic pill with my first bite. The pill would last 20-40 minutes before I needed a new one. I was amazed. I could finally eat whatever I wanted.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://content.costco.com/Images/Content/Product/91090.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://content.costco.com/Images/Content/Product/91090.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Exhibit A: Magic Pill<br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">A few days ago I was browsing around online and found the real magic pill. The answer to all of my problems. A pill that is taken once a day. All I have to do is take one every morning and can eat whatever I want, all day long! For the longest time I've had to give up little bites of things. Jonathan always has ice cream or something and offers me a bite. I always respond by saying that one bite isn't worth taking a pill. Now I can take all the bites I want! And no more having to cart around 12 pills with me every day because I don't know when I'm going to eat dairy.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UN63mKhfL._SL500_AA280_.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UN63mKhfL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Exhibit B: The <span style="font-style: italic;">Real </span>Magic Pill<br /></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">The best part is that I found a site that will send me an 8 day supply for free!

The internet at my in-laws is more reliable than at my house so I can use linux and post my pictures!!<br /><br />Let's see....where to start on the trip...Milton usually has a hard time with these rides so we came prepared with sedatives from the vet. We figured if he started getting anxious we could just give him some to calm him down.<br /><br />Jonathan also built a little "fence" from the front seat to the back seat so that the dogs couldn't get through. This helped tremendously! Milton didn't freak out the entire time and just stayed put in the back. It was amazing.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SKsKOdh1inI/AAAAAAAAAFA/uRNBoryJ3pk/s1600-h/00119.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SKsKOdh1inI/AAAAAAAAAFA/uRNBoryJ3pk/s320/00119.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236290235309329010" border="0" /></a>You can kid of see the "fence" here.

The first week we went to an A's game with Tom's clients and got to eat all kinds of yummy food. Then, the day before we left we went with Daniel to a Giant's game. Jonathan actually really liked the games. It was fun to just sit around and eat stadium food and enjoy each other's company.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SKsMzZDEIkI/AAAAAAAAAFg/wI_wtcoaZcE/s1600-h/00128.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SKsMzZDEIkI/AAAAAAAAAFg/wI_wtcoaZcE/s320/00128.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236293068784935490" border="0" /></a>Jonathan wasn't quite into the game at this point.

Seems simple right?<br /><br />We had been doing a pretty good job keeping our house clean, but in the midst of packing for our trip, things got a little out of hand. Stuff got scattered. That can be expected with packing, but I didn't have time to pick it up before we left.<br /><br />So we left California at 10:45 California time and started for our LONG trip home. We didn't get in until 1:30. The drive itself wasn't bad, it just took forever. <br /><br />We walked in and immediately smelled....the stench. We had forgotten that this apartment smells funny. Now, before you start thinking that we're nasty dirty people or that we have bad smelling dogs....oh wait, I guess we do have stinky dogs...anyway! This smell has been here since we moved in. We have no idea where it came from. But it just smells....weird. <br /><br />With the combination of the smell and the fact that the place was slightly cluttered I was ready to hop back in my car and go back to California. My mom wouldn't mind housing us for another month or two would she? She'd pretend she'd like it, but inside she'd be wishing we didn't make HER place a mess like ours was. <br /><br />Anyway, since we've been home I've been a cleaning machine. Not to say that our house was a disaster before, it just needed picking up. <br /><br />Every room is almost spotless. Then there's that pesky third bedroom. One bedroom is ours, one serves as an office, and then we have a third that doesn't really have a purpose. We could make it a bedroom for the dogs, but....they wouldn't sleep in there anyway. Chloe won't sleep unless she's touching some human skin. Right this minute she's right next to me. She could sleep all day.<br /><br />It could be a craft room. I could put all my jewelry stuff in there so I could leave it "out" and not have to put it away every time I'm done using it. <br /><br />But instead...its the junk room. There's stuff in there from the move that I didn't even know existed. That should tell me something. I should just take everything in that room and throw it out. Its obvious we don't need it. One of these days I should post a picture of it. Its pathetic.<br /><br />Well, I'm sure there's more cleaning I should be doing. I'll update about the trip with pictures later. I just have to figure out how to get my pictures from my Linux drive into my Windows drive since the internet is incredibly unreliable in Linux right now.<br /><br />I hope everyone is having a great summer!Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-3218719517857400722008-07-22T19:57:00.002-06:002008-07-22T20:02:54.592-06:00We're Coming!Tomorrow morning Jonathan and I are starting our trek to California. I am way excited to see friends and family but NOT at all excited for the drive. Usually we take the trip in two days. Jonathan really wants to do it in one. 14 hours in the car with two dogs! <br /><br />We got Milton some sedatives so that he can kind of fall asleep in the back seat the whole time. Usually on this trip he sits on my lap because he gets so scared. Its awful. So hopefully with him knocked out we can have a more enjoyable ride.<br /><br />Speaking of enjoyable rides....our car is very bumpy. Its been more like a boat than a car since I bought it in 2005. So today we had the new struts put on. I laughed the whole way home because it was just so smooth! It was money definitely well spent!<br /><br />I'm sitting here trying to think of what else to say and my mind is clouded by the fact that I am absolutely dreading the drive tomorrow. We can drive around town without a purpose and realize we've been driving for 3 hours. But the second we get in the car and realize that we're stuck in the car for that long I get very anxious. It'll all be worth it to see everyone though! Its a good thing we're staying for about two weeks because there's just so many people to see!Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-71494190277629857772008-07-19T00:31:00.002-06:002008-07-19T00:43:35.825-06:00We're 2!So on Tuesday, Jonathan and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary! Time flies so quickly! But at the same time it feels like we've been married for 7 years.<br /><br />I meant to make this post say...Tuesday night, but I've been so busy with finals (side note, we're done with finals and projects and will be headed to California probably on Wednesday!)<br /><br />The night before our wedding I slept better than I have in my entire life. My mom was concerned I would be a nervous wreck (and she had every right to think so, I've led her to believe I'm a nervous wreck my entire life) and so she wanted to give me half of a sleeping pill. I politely declined, telling her I'd like to be conscious for my wedding. I fell asleep faster than ever before. My mom on the other hand, took the pill and the next day had a migraine. I told her! :)<br /><br />Usually when I get up early, and especially when I'm anxious about something I get a stomach ache. So I was terrified that I was going to be feeling sick the morning of while I was getting my hair done and everything. But I was calm, cool and collected. Absolutely nothing was phasing me. It was wonderful.<br /><br />We headed off to the temple and were sealed without a glitch. It was the most amazing day of my life. After I put on my wedding dress and got ready to see Jonathan I can still remember my mom telling me something along the lines of..."just so you know, your flowers aren't quite what you expected them to be, but they're beautiful anyway"...doesn't she know me well! The one thing she warned me about is the one thing I still have a little bit of frustration over! If I could do it all again, I'd make sure I got the flowers I asked for! But really, my wedding was amazing and I'm so happy with how everything turned out.<br /><br />So this year, Jonathan and I decided that we weren't going to exchange gifts until sometime in California because we just didn't have time with finals and everything. But anyone who really knows me knows that I couldn't really do that. So after my classes on Monday I went out and just got some "starter" gifts. Mostly things we would have gotten him regardless-like some t-shirts and socks.<br /><br />We went to school and I took a test and then it was off to sushi! Jonathan doesn't get to eat sushi as often as he'd like so we took advantage of the fact that it was our anniversary and splurged a bit.<br /><br />I'm still not quite sure what else we'll do in California to celebrate, but I know we'll have fun.<br /><br />Here's a few pictures of our wonderful wedding, now two years ago.<br /><br /><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/Wedding/28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/Wedding/35.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/Wedding/51.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/Wedding/48.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/Wedding/55.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/Wedding/57.jpg">Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-67473381111219714282008-07-13T20:37:00.003-06:002008-07-13T20:44:31.656-06:00Excited? To take a test?Never in my life did I think I was excited to take a test. But yesterday I was.<br /><br />I've been taking a nutrition for young children class this semester that I've really enjoyed. Our last section was on food safety. I've been totally intrigued and disgusted at the same time! There are a lot of things people do at home that are so dangerous with food.<br /><br />So like I said, I had a test yesterday and if I got at least 80% I would get some certificate of food safety for Idaho. I don't know exactly what it was called, but I was excited!<br /><br />I got a 92%! I only missed 4 questions (and I still don't have a clue which ones they were).<br /><br />So that's out of the way. Now I have 2 spanish tests this week (including a comprehensive final), a family interaction test, a nutrition project and lots of Spanish homework. I really should be doing homework, but I can't seem to get the motivation.<br /><br />And after the semester is over....we're going to California! It'll be really nice because we'll have our car so we can stay as long as we want and go where ever we want without having to borrow a car. I'm really excited.<br /><br />Yay!Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-91901456104523758442008-07-05T20:08:00.008-06:002008-12-10T18:03:27.716-07:00Because Margaret said so :)I talked to Jonathan's aunt Margaret today and she told me I needed to update my blog, so here I am!<br /><br />This will likely be a long one, a lot has happened.<br /><br />So the 19th was my birthday! My mom and her husband Tom came up to visit and we had a lot of fun.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHAqK9ZuJxI/AAAAAAAAAEg/mD6BXq8gaug/s1600-h/birthday+etc+005.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHAqK9ZuJxI/AAAAAAAAAEg/mD6BXq8gaug/s320/birthday+etc+005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219718335891908370" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Jonathan woke me up with breakfast in bed. It was so sweet of him to do. A few days before my birthday I had been craving a Jack in the Box breakfast croissant thing and so he got me one :)<br /><br />Chloe had fun basking in the sun that morning as well. She was really cute.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHAqcUPm5OI/AAAAAAAAAEo/WGZoHOhek_A/s1600-h/birthday+etc+018.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHAqcUPm5OI/AAAAAAAAAEo/WGZoHOhek_A/s320/birthday+etc+018.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219718634081281250" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So I went off to school-my second ever birthday being in school, the first being summer school before freshman year-and was really excited to be done.<br /><br />We had dinner at Jonathan's parent's house that night and we had a lot of fun and I got a lot of great stuff. Everyone was so generous.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHArRDrZkrI/AAAAAAAAAEw/XfoyN8AgxsA/s1600-h/birthday+etc+039.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHArRDrZkrI/AAAAAAAAAEw/XfoyN8AgxsA/s320/birthday+etc+039.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219719540167512754" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHArslMrIzI/AAAAAAAAAE4/ISWOd0lkrEk/s1600-h/birthday+etc+087.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SHArslMrIzI/AAAAAAAAAE4/ISWOd0lkrEk/s320/birthday+etc+087.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219720013021913906" border="0" /></a>Dave and Melissa got me some glass pearls to use with my beading. I've used them a TON and love what they add to my jewelry.<br /><br />The next day J, Mom and Tom and I went and played mini-golf. We had quite a lot of fun. <br /><br />So that was my birthday. The next week my dad and his wife came for dinner on their way back from a vacation. I cooked them dinner and our house was boiling! They came through on a day that was 102 outside! It was SO warm out. Yikes!<br /><br />Now we're just trying to get through school and finals. Nothing should be too bad, projects will be worse than finals. But after that we're on our way to California! I'm so excited, except not about the trip. Milton gets anxious on long car rides and tries to sit on my lap the entire time. Its not exactly fun for my legs :/<br /><br />About every other weekend I end up making a ton of jewelry. Last weekend I think I made at least 15 things. I've put them all up on etsy, but I haven't seemed to get many bites. Oh well, I guess they can just become gifts.<br /><br />I've been busy making an invitation for Kalyn's baby shower in a couple weeks.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/planes2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 370px;" src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i141/jargandsarg/planes2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> That's what the look like. This jpg is a little fuzzy, but they won't really be. I think if you click it you can see it bigger.<br /><br />Our 2nd anniversary is on the 15th and its my year to come up with something. I figure we'll do a little something here on the 15th and then do something bigger in California once we get out there. I just can't figure out what to do! If anyone has any ideas, I'd love them!<br /><br />I feel like I'm missing something, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. If I figure it out, I guess I'll come back and blog more.Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-39077323648415742762008-06-17T16:05:00.003-06:002008-12-10T18:03:28.081-07:00Washing Dishes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SFg1e_K2w2I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/CvbbL_oT_2s/s1600-h/dishwasherclosed.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SFg1e_K2w2I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/CvbbL_oT_2s/s320/dishwasherclosed.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212975375150662498" border="0" /></a><br />So this is our dishwasher. It is now however, our house. The pictures are from the people who sold it to us. We knew we had to move and we had to do it fast, so we didn't care that this new place didn't have a dishwasher. We figured we'd either wash dishes or use this handy thing. Well...its not so handy. It takes up SO much counter space and is technically only a 4 place setting thing. And it leaves everything soapy!<br /><br />So I think I've decided that I'm just going to wash all my dishes now. It seems to work just fine for Jonathan, but not for me. Maybe I'll put him on dish duty!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SFg2URh4UNI/AAAAAAAAAEY/y_-J0PTL8ew/s1600-h/dishwasheropen.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SFg2URh4UNI/AAAAAAAAAEY/y_-J0PTL8ew/s320/dishwasheropen.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212976290612138194" border="0" /></a><br />We finally got all of our pictures up in the house. Now all we need to do is get the 3rd bedroom cleaned out. It has become our storage space. Which is just fine except for the fact that when we move out it'll be awful trying to go through it.<br /><br />Right now I really wish I had my piano. My fingers are itching to play.<br /><br />Mom and Tom are coming Thursday! 2 days till they come and 2 days till my birthday! Yay!Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-10514254843781143242008-06-10T14:19:00.004-06:002008-12-10T18:03:28.222-07:00New LayoutWell it's been quite the experience trying to get this blog to look the way I want it to. And I'm still not sure I'm completely happy with it.<br /><br />J will be happy to know that I tweaked the code on my own. I didn't just do a bunch of copy paste. He's always trying to get me to code.<br /><br />I am so sick of the weather here. There's like 50 degree winds today. Not fun. And tomorrow is only a high of 49 with a chance of rain, and get this....SNOW! I am so not excited. I've been checking the 10 day weather forecast everyday to see if it would all let up for my birthday and this is what it says:<br /><br />We'll just do my birthday week.<br /><br />Monday-High of 74. Mostly sunny. 20% chance of precipitation.<br />Tuesday-High of 74. Sunny 0% chance of precipitation.<br />Wednesday- High of 73. Mostly sunny. 10% chance of precipitation.<br /><br />And the big day?<br />High of dang 64. Partly cloudy. And at least a 0% chance of precipitation.<br /><br />This is not what I signed up for when I moved to Idaho!!! At least I won't be roasting in California. I just wish that nice weather could stay for just one day longer. Oh well.<br /><br />So the other day I was having fun wrestling with Milton and decided to take a few pictures. He decided to yawn in one of them. I swear he's not scary. He's actually quite the weenie. When Chloe hears something outside she barks her head off. I don't think she has any idea that if there were something really out there it would rip her to shreds. Milton on the other hand, whines and runs into my lap when he hears something "scary". That's why road trips with him suck. He sits on my lap the entire time because he thinks the acceleration of the car is a scary scary man that is growling at him. What a pansy ;)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SE7jS5Weu_I/AAAAAAAAADU/gEd89TrzoOo/s1600-h/jewelry+032.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_W4eIPwC8aDo/SE7jS5Weu_I/AAAAAAAAADU/gEd89TrzoOo/s320/jewelry+032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210351732686502898" border="0" /></a>Sarah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01655826385619467833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116381234495122177.post-73740020588953228932008-05-31T23:31:00.000-06:002008-05-31T23:32:14.522-06:00OhOh, and I paid $3.98 in gas today.
