This last weekend Scott and I headed up to Rexburg for my niece's baptism. It was a lot of fun. We spent the weekend playing with the kids and hoping for our niece Ashley to want to play with us. Brittney's baptism was pretty cool. Malachi told everyone there that he didn't want to get dunked like that, but he did want to go in the water. It was really cool that Britney made the decision to get baptized and when Scott asked her if she felt different after, she said she did. I hope she knows the importance of what she just experienced, because heaven knows most of us don't know it at that time. Scott and I spent a lot of time with the kids, and every time we take care of kids together, I am constantly amazed at how good at it he is. He is just so good at communicating with them and getting on their level as well as the discipline part. He will be an awesome dad when the time comes. Oh, and I really enjoyed holding my sister's brand new baby all through sacrament meeting. Then she woke up and was grinning at me. So much fun!

Redundant
Yes, I know my constant posting about my fantastic husband can get old, but I just can't help it. On Tuesdays I have class until 9, and this week I was a little bit sad about how messy our house is and how I wasn't going to have time to clean it. When I got home from school, Scott had done all the laundry, put away his clothes that were out, adjusted our sealing fan, adjusted the head lights on the truck, changed the sheets on our bed, made the bed, cleaned our room, and dusted our room. It was so nice when I was kind of grumpy about how much of my time is consumed these days with seemingly useless things (like my science class, blech!), Scott was so great to do so much around the house. It was such a relief and it made me sooooo happy! I am a very lucky girl... what can I say?
Wordle
I had to steal this wordle thing from Cali (thanks Cali!) It is based on my blog, and it is kind of sad the words I use most often. Just and time are the biggest? and Scott and love are kind of on the small end. Sad! Still fun though!

Brad Paisley
Scott and I spent our Saturday night with this gentleman (yes, sorry I am so behind folks, still haven't quite figured out how to balance my time). I seriously can't say how much I love his music. He has the most ridiculous sounds, and then he comes out with a song like "Then" or "If I Could Write a Letter to Me". I seriously cried 3 times at his concert. He is by far my favorite artist right now. We had amazing seats too. We were in the VIP section, that's right for fan club members only, we were in the 5th row, and only 2 seats away from where the stage extended. Which is where he was standing when I took the picture. It was so awesome to be that up close and personal. Best concert EVER! Scott even had a good time. Dierks Bentley was the opener and he put on a really good show as well. Just have to say that. I knew most of his songs and he is full of energy and fun. But Brad Paisley was definitely the star of the show. What a great entertainer.Sunday, September 13, 2009
Scott's New Toy
This is Scott's new bike I mentioned earlier that he got. It is our newest addition of things to do together, which is never a bad thing.
And here is the bike I want. The purple is just me. Scott and I have both brought up how much we would like to get this bike, but considering I have a bike already and this one is a little expensive, we are going to have to wait. I am excited either way that Scott has a bike now and we can go on bike rides together. It is a great way to get exercise and not be sitting on our butts watching TV.
Random thoughts from people 25-45 years old
I had to post this, it is actually an email forward, but it was one of those things and you can't help but think how true most of it is. My comments are in parenthesis.
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. (Haven't we all been there?)
-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk. (My trick is to check my cell phone)
-I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. (I always tell the children I know to cherish their naps)
-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?
-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft. (SOOOOO true.)
-There is a great need for sarcasm font.
-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? (I hate trying to fold those things, there is seriously no good way)
-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
-Ithink part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. (Ok, serioulsy, this one is stupid.)
-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text. (And then the red night never lasts long enough)
-A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it. (Yeah, I wouldn't know)
-I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
-Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
-How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said? (I do that all the time, but it can come back to bite you in the butt)
-I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
-Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second> lapse)..ummm...Goonies" (I've done that only, I was giving my email address and I said T as in Tom. Then I said, or as in Tisha)
-MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
-Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
-I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
-Bad decisions make good stories.
-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
-Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year? (It's awful how slutty they look when they also look way too young to be dressing like that)
-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection. (AMEN!)
-"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away? (I love this one, makes me laugh so hard, because it happens every time!)
-I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. ( And then when you feel like crap, you see a ton of people you haven't seen in years)
-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
-As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always>hate cyclists. (YUP, even though it may become a new past time of ours)
-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey, but I'd bet everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...(I am sorry if anyone takes offense to this one, I wanted to edit, but thought I would ruin it)
-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
-It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com <http://cnn.com/ and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit. (My brother in law is a cop and he said it gets annoying, especially when he is off duty)
-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay. (I don't drink, so in my world they don't being with Miller Lite either, but seriously who doesn't hate those commercials?)
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

Lovely Evening
What can be better than taking a bike ride with your honey on a cool crisp fall evening? We went a purchased a bike for Scott tonight. It was a little expensive, but it will be well worth it. It made me feel like my little cheapo bike that I have had for years is not good enough anymore, but my bike still works, so there is no reason to get a new one right now. I really enjoyed being able to go for a bike ride together though. It was very pleasant, and I am looking forward to more of the same.

School
Wow, who knew that going back to school and only taking 6 credits would make you so busy! I feel like I don't even have enough time to do anything outside of work, school, homework, and training for my marathon. Right now I am avoiding doing my homework. I know I should be working on it, but out of everything I need to get done, I really just don't want to do any of it. I am a huge slacker. I will pay for it later I am sure. A girl I work with has been working full-time and going to school full-time for a long time, and I seriously don't know how she did it. Whew!
I love my husband
I so love my husband. He is such a great man. I am so lucky to have a guy that is so good with kids. We were over at my parents this weekend for a Labor Day BBQ. There were bunch of our nieces and nephews there as well as some neighbor girls. He handled the whole thing really well. He played with the kids a lot. We went to the park basically right before it was time to go home and he got on the plastic playground with the kids and even crawled through a tunnel that he really didn't fit in with them. It was so awesome to watch him interact with the kids and actually embrace the things chaos around him even though his family is so calm. I see him interact with kids every Sunday in nursery too, and it just makes me fall in love with him even more. He is so great with kids and they love him. I love him too!
