Because 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!

This will likely be a long one, a lot has happened.

So the 19th was my birthday! My mom and her husband Tom came up to visit and we had a lot of fun.

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 :)

Chloe had fun basking in the sun that morning as well. She was really cute.







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.

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.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.

The next day J, Mom and Tom and I went and played mini-golf. We had quite a lot of fun.

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!

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 :/

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.

I've been busy making an invitation for Kalyn's baby shower in a couple weeks. 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.

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!

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.

Washing Dishes

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!

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!

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.

Right now I really wish I had my piano. My fingers are itching to play.

Mom and Tom are coming Thursday! 2 days till they come and 2 days till my birthday! Yay!

New Layout

Well 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.

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.

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:

We'll just do my birthday week.

Monday-High of 74. Mostly sunny. 20% chance of precipitation.
Tuesday-High of 74. Sunny 0% chance of precipitation.
Wednesday- High of 73. Mostly sunny. 10% chance of precipitation.

And the big day?
High of dang 64. Partly cloudy. And at least a 0% chance of precipitation.

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.

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 ;)

Oh

Oh, and I paid $3.98 in gas today. I don't even want to know what it is in California right now. Ick.

Busy

So, like it says...I've been busy lately.

On Thursday I sang at a NATS recital. Boss (Sister Bossard) asked me to sing on Wednesday. I don't typically give up a chance to sing so I took it. I was just kind of lame because I sang the same thing I sang at my last NATS recital last year. Oh well. I thought ahead so that Mom and everyone could see and had J record it. So here it is.



Also, I've been making jewelry like mad. I actually sold a necklace and some earrings the other day! I shipped them off today. I'm so excited. I think I made something like $22 off the deal after shipping and materials and stuff. I'm really enjoying it all.

What I'm not enjoying are midterms. YUCK! I have a couple coming up this week and a project. I really should be studying instead of making jewelry but I can't help myself!

Oh! Also! We sold our apartment contract today! YAY! So hopefully it all works out and we only will have paid double rent one month instead of 3. It still stinks but we'll live.

Etsy!

Summer is starting to look up because I have a new hobby! I've started beading again, but this time....the stuff is decent!

I've decided that its worth spending the money on cause I'm going to try and sell some of it online. The other stuff will be given as birthday and Christmas presents.

But go look at my shop if you want!

I'm seriously having so much fun with it. If only I had this much motivation when it came to homework!

No me gusta espanol esta noche

I am so sick of Spanish homework. I have these lab manual and workbook things due just about every week. Instead of doing a couple pages a night I save it all for the night before! Someone smack me! I have a test and oral tomorrow too. Those shouldn't go too badly though.

I'm getting pretty sick of Rexburg weather. Its been raining all day and isn't supposed to get any better tomorrow. The best weather day we've had recently has only been in the low 70s. Get me out of here!

Chloe goes in to get spayed tomorrow. Oh and she's getting a tooth pulled too. Poor baby. Tomorrow will probably be a good excuse to take pictures of her though. She'll be so mellow she'll let me.

And since I haven't posted any pictures for awhile I suppose I can find one so that you all remember what we look like.

This is usually how Milton looks. He always has a sock. We take them from him but he always seems to find another. He probably takes them off my feet in the night and hides them for later use. He's pretty sneaky.

Forget us. The dogs are much cuter. Here's Chloe looking rather calm. I think she was getting sick of being man-handled. How would you like it if someone was sticking their head (which could be 2 times bigger than your body!) in your face all the time?
