It's a chili day out!

Hey everyone! Well, like my heading says, it IS pretty cold outside. I guess it wouldn't be too bad except it's super windy too. My appointment was at 11, and it turns out there were some white blood cells and cloudiness(she used some other term, but I can't remember what it is) in my urine, so I got some medication to take for 10 days and I should be feeling much better! She said if it's not better than to go back. After the great time at the doctor, I walked over to my older brother Matt's apartment to drop off season two of The Office because he wanted to borrow it. It was good to see him! especially since I haven't seen him since the day we moved in! He had to go to his English class so I walked him since it was on the way back to my place. We had some good convo! He seems to be keeping really busy and seems to be doing great! He works every morning at 4, which is great because he gets off at 7, and then he has a 7:45 class in the building he cleans so it works out great because he is never late! He also goes to the gym every day, but sunday. On top of all that he has four girls' numbers! and he has a date this thursday! Go Matt! Anyways, now I am at home and I am probably going to work on thank you cards. I really need to get them done! I've decided to include a picture of my new bike and some pics of our kitchen and food... don't ask me why, I don't know. haha!

Shop til ya drop!

So today was a pretty good day! We slept in til 10:30, and I must say... that felt so good. I felt like a new woman when I finally got up! So we decided to have a real breakfast for once, so Joey cooked the bacon since he is so great at it, and I cooked the eggs and toast haha. It was delicious! Afterwards, I kind of watched a little bit of tv... I can't really remember what I watched though haha! Then we showered and got ready to go to the temple. The temple was great! We were there for a while though because we did baptisms during walk-ins and there was a long wait, but it was totally worth it of course! By the time we got back home it was about 4:30 and it was kind of gloomy outside. It had rained while we were doing baptisms and what not. Joe and I then took my friend Sandra's car to go grocery shopping and we probably got enough food to last us the rest of the month! We went to Albertson's and then to Wal-mart. Oh! We also got me a new bike and it's pink and it's super cute and so much easier to ride than Joe's! (His is kind of big for me) so Joe rode that all the way back home and I drove the groceries home. He got here, and then helped me finish unloading the groceries. I then realized I forgot to pick up some pictures from Wal-mart so we ran back to Wal-mart and then had to go to Broulim's (the other grocery store) and get some things that Albertson's didn't have, then we came back home to drop off the groceries. We have learned how to compare prices and save money! After that, we ran to Winger's and had some delicious wings and fries! It was great! I wasn't feeling too hot after though. Kinda nauceous and my head hurt... plus I think I might have a UTI. So good thing I'm going to the doctor on Monday. Well, now it's getting late and we are watching Miss Congeniality on ABC Family! haha! Anyways, thought I'd just blog about our day! :)

Thanks KT!

Well! First off I'd like to thank KT for putting this great blog together and making it look so pretty! Also, "I'd like to thank my ked's." I couldn't have done it without them! Yayyyyyy Kevin!!! (Pam Beasley) Sorry I could not resist. Mostly, I just wanted to thank KT for doing it all and letting everyone know that I couldn't have done it without her!

It's been too long!

Wow! It's been way too long! but I came up with this brilliant idea! I think that once I learn how to fix up my blog and actually make it cute and worth looking at, then I will probably blog way more often. I guess I just got really bored with mine because everyone elses was way more fun to associate with. Anyways, I'm a married woman now, and it's been so much fun! You always have a best friend to hang out with! But sadly, I have to go and make an appointment at the student health center now... Just a check up. I haven't been feeling too well the last couple of days. Joey has a presentation today in his Business Communications class today (it's the second one this week) and well, me? I have been trying to get thank you cards done and clean the house and wait for someone to call me for an interview. I seriously have applied to like 10 jobs. They are as follows: Walgreens, Albertsons, Walmart, Payless Shoesource, Hollywood Video, New York Burrito, Melaleuca, Progrexion, JB's Restaurant, some Copy and Go place, Little Caesars, ummm that's all I can think of. I'm also about to apply to a couple of banks who are going to be hiring pretty soon here. The only problem with a lot of these places is that most of them said, "we are always accepting applications!" In other words, we aren't hiring right now, but let's give you some hope. I also have been trying to learn how to cook meals and what not. There's this really sweet girl in our ward that I've become friends with. She and her husband were married about a week before Joe and I were. Her name is Sandra and she is also off track and looking for a job. Her and her husband have two cars and her husband is in school and so she said that we could borrow her car whenever we need it because he isn't using his right now. That is so sweet of them. I'm a little iffy on using other people's cars though. It's kinda scary for me, but that is super nice of them to offer that to us. They also said we could join them whenever they go grocery shopping if we need to go too. It's pretty sweet!!! Wow, I better go! thanks for reading my rambling! Hopefully my blog will be beautified soon!

So! Midterm grades are in and they ended up being pretty good! They are the grades I mentioned down below. I'm excited today because I get to go swimming! It's an indoor pool though at one of joe's counselors in his ward's house. It'll be fun! I haven't been swimming in forever! The weather was actually beautiful yesterday except it was very windy! Today it's nice and sunny too! On monday night I get to help Matt register for his classes and I'm pretty excited that he is coming up in the fall! I know he will love it here because it's great! (except the weather stinks) I'm thankful for everyone that is helping with my wedding and bridal shower! Everyone is so amazing. It's kind of hard to make plans while living up in idaho and going to school, so I just want to thank everyone who is taking time out of their lives just to help me and joe. It really means the world to me! Also, I'm so excited to be an aunt two more times! (One still on the way ;)) I have the cutest nephews and neices! and that's because I have cute siblings and siblings-in-law. They're great! Anyways! so I am going to New York July 21-25 and then the day after joe and I get married we are flying to Boston and then the next day our cruise to Bermuda leaves and then we'll be back the next week. We might go see a baseball game at yankee stadium while we are there too. We're excited! Anyways,I better get something done! I woke up a half hour ago and have not done anything except sit on this computer! Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!!!

Mid-terms!

Hey guys! Well mid-term week is over!!! Thank goodness! My grades will be in on wednesday and then I can let ya'll know. As of now, it looks like I have 5 A's and 2 B+'s! But that's not a for sure. So yesterday was a long and busy day... but a great day, don't get me wrong! So church gets out at 12:30, so after that my classmate Ashleigh came and picked me up and we went to her place and made about 200 cookies! For our 25 minute presentation we baked 3 different kinds of cookies to go with the them of our presentation. Our presentation was on "Learning two languages-Toddler through the play years"... so each cookie represented a language... They are as follows: Fortune (we bought those)-Chinese, Snickerdoodles-German, Chocolate Chip-English, and Russian tea cookies-Russian of course! It was lots of fun, but it took us from about 1 til almost 7! We had to put them in 50 ziplock bags, but we had to wrap each individual cookie in suran(however you spell that) wrap first for the sake of those who are allergic and what not. Then we had to make little hand outs to put in the bags explaining what each cookie represented. After we got that done, I went to Joe's house and we ate Lasagna and garlic bread and chocolate milk! It was delicious! After that I went home and went over the powerpoint for our presentation today. Joe came over after that and we watched the end of the basketball finals. It was great!!! Anyways... so I woke up this morning and I was feeling super naucious and I took and shower and then ate some cereal and orange juice. I think the orange juice helped me. I was not nervous about the presentation at all until the end of geography and then I started to feel kinda sick! Once we got up there to present, I was like not even nervous and we were amazing! We got a 148.5/150! The class loved the game we played and they just loved the treats and a lot of them participated and raised their hands and what not. I think I'm gonna like being a teacher!!! :)

Update!

Well, it has been forever since I last blogged! I've just been so busy with school and planning and everything! Well, for those of you who don't know, I am getting married on August 8 and I am super excited!!! There's a lot to talk about, but unfortunately I won't be able to include everything and every little detail. Joe was able to meet my mom and Darin, dad and JoAnn, brothers, and some other extended family, but unfortunately he has not been able to meet Kerstin and Jared's family... Eventually they will though! We had a great time in Vegas, but sadly it wasn't sunny! We were totally looking forward to hot weather, but it had to rain and be cool all weekend! This Rexburg weather has been making everyone sick because it is so fickle! One day it's nice and sunny and in the 80's and the next day it is cold, rainy, and in the 40's! I just want summer to be here! Anyways, school has been so overwhelming, but I am getting through it! I got to be a teacher for the first time in my Eled 370 class yesterday and it was lots of fun! I was nervous, but once i started to teach it was awesome, plus it's a P.E. class so that makes it bunches easier. I have a presentation in geography tomorrow that has to be 10 minutes, and then on june 7 I have a presentation in child development with two other girls that has to be 20 to 25 minutes. I also have some papers to write and projects to do and to write lesson plans every week. Other than that, life is great! I better get some rest so I can function tomorrow! I hope all you guys are doing well!
