I'm just too excited...

I should go to bed.

But I realize I like sleep a LOT more when the alarm is going off, not as much when I should go to bed.

But I am excited.

I am not sure why.

I have a test tomorrow.

Ugh....

But, I am SUPER excited that Rexburg has a donut place!

I know, stupid, but tonight Joe and I went to campus to see "Saxophobia" (really good by the way. I have a soft spot for the sax, and it was cool to see all the different types he had.) Then we got some frozen yogurt and were walking around when I passed by the donut shop!!!!

=]

I am oh so happy now!!

By the way:

Rigby population:

3,007. + 2. =]

Rexburg:

26,000.

Really makes you appreciate some things in life.

PERFECT day

Today was a perfect day!

-Church

-Beautiful weather

-Good attitude

-Bike ride with Joseph and the Dogs

(And Napoleon did AMAZING running along side me! Some people may call him small and think little of him (aha!) but I kid you not, he has more attitude and spunk than any big dog I have ever seen! He climbs mountains, will sprint alongside a bike (at his own doing may I add) and play with any big dog. Yes sir, I may not have ever thought of getting a dachshund before, but oh boy- Napoleon is one of a kind!)

|

|---> also may I add that it was the perfect day for a bike ride. =] It was fantastic!

-Pausage for dinner! (This AMAZING meal my mom made while we were home, and we love it! And I once accidentally called it Paussage. So, that is what it is.

-No- bake cookies

-A worn out cuddly puppy

-Movies!

Ahh yes. =]

Today was Oh- so good.

Just some re-caps

I have been uploading some more pictures.

And I realized I missed blogging about some things.

So I will just post them here quickly.

Happy Friday!! =]

(I know that this picture is actually kinda scary of Napoleon, but it is just cute what he gets into. Even though he frustrates Joe to no end sometimes.)

(Penny the day we were moving out of Chowchilla. Good ol' dog.)

(I wanted you to appreciate some of the things of Chowchilla- like the trains that are

CONSTANTLY going by.)

(And....LOTS and LOTS of nut trees. These, happen to be Pistachios.)

(Last night at achievement girls. We played with water balloons.)

(Joe's last day of his internship at AgriLand- we got cool matching hats. =])

(We took a "vacation" one weekend and went camping, this was at Inyo National park, part of this AMAZING hike we went on.)

(Mona lake)

(Yosemite- isn't it pretty?)

(And this is just what happens when you don't let rolls rise... but they taste fine.)

What you ought to know...

So, Joe and I found these AMAZING youtube videos today.

What you ought to know

That one in particular is about Autism.

It was very good and very cute.

From what we can tell, he is mormon.

But the other ones are just random and funny.

Like this one.

Really, you should go watch them.

Also, this blog is quite possibly one of my new favorite pass times. We arn't even hard core assistant managers, only having 4 apartments, but still...I think anyone would find these funny.

The Apartment Managers Blog

And the beat goes on...

School has begun.

I am not sure how I feel about that.

The first day went well.

The second day was a bit more scary.

Ok, a lot more scary.

But I think I can do it.

And GREAT news is, that Joe has dropped to only taking 18 units, and will be adding on one more semester with no more than 15 classes every semester. It really is a HUGE blessing, even though we will be in school longer which we don't want- but it will all work out and we are both SO happy. =]

Although it is lame that I have 17 credits and have already spent MUCH more time on HW then Joe, who has 18 credits. =[

Ya, just a little cranky face.

Well, life is going good.

We had our first Ward activity, and it was fun. We went with some friends to see Jon Schmidt, and it was amazing! Joe taught his nephew on his mission.

Napoleon keeps getting out by crawling underneath the fence, and we keep patching it up, and he keeps getting out.

Apparently he wants to fight Coral, my sisters new puppy.

We are making amazing whole wheat bread, and we love it (especially since we get to grind it ourselves. =])

Life is swell.

=]

So, school doesn't start tomorrow.

It is a REALLY happy thought when you get home from the endodontist [Root canal dentist], with a tooth ache like none other because the doctor just drilled into your gums while your awake to repair a root canal gone wrong, [5 % of root canals go bad. Arn't I lucky!!!], and you just spendr the last hour waiting for the pharmacy to give you your pain medicine that you gulf down the second it reaches in your hand because it hurts so much, and THEN you get home- and you are dreading the fact of going to school the next day swollen like a chipmunk- and realize school starts THURSDAY instead of Wednesday. =]

It would make a person OH SO HAPPY.

Did that all make sense?

Are you terrified of the fact that dentist will drill through your gums? Because I still am.

It really really hurts.

Getting my wisdom teeth pulled wasn't that bad.

They knocked me out right away.

Just don't get a root canal.

The end. =]

In the and of Potatoes

We have made it to Idaho.

It was a long trip, starting off Monday and getting here Tuesday night.

But it was made SOOOOO much better with our moms coming and helping!!! =]

We have spent the last few days unpacking (sort of. We just seem to encounter more stuff at every turn.)

Exploring our new city- which is quite nice really. It seems I am destined for small town life- Rexburg, Chowchilla, Rigby. I am amazed at how now, compared to a year ago, I am calling Rexburg big.

Dealing with tenants and making lists of things needed to be done. (Since we are managing a complex, and old tenants are annoying and there will be lots of painting in my near future.)

And shopping, which I am delighted about! Not the whole spending money part, but the fun treasures we find. Like a picnic basket and an old radio that Joe wants to fix up. =] Oh ya.

We are supper excited about our new ward.

Everyone here has already been super nice.

We are even more excited to get our money from school....but not as excited for school to start.

Joe will be taking 21 credits-which includes 2 chemistry classes. I will be taking 18, reading non-stop.

The way Joe's department is set up, he HAS to finish in 4 semesters, 21 credits each semester, 2 chemistry classes each semester.

It really sort of sucks. But, he is eager to get out of school and start working- and would prefer it this way.

So we are going to do it!

It also makes us a bit happy that his advisor and the teacher for half his classes, is in our ward.

Also, my sisters current mission companion- is from Rexburg. And her dad just happens to be my advisor as well.

Fancy that, huh? =]

So basically, that is what is going on.

Life is happy. =]

Napoleon is LOVING eating and chasing all the grass hoppers running around.

I think he likes our new adjustment.

At least until the snow hits.

And by the way....

This is our 'new' van.
