Fall semester is coming to an end...

This time last year I was still in the 80 degree weather of Florida.. So having to be cold right now is not really a joy for me. But I suppose I will probably just have to get over that because I dont believe getting warm is coming any time soon.

But I am grateful that we don't have as much snow as home does right now (knock on wood) Sorry Cedar Rapids!

Tomorrow we have "pre white glove" which in all reality is quite smart. It makes white glove a lot easier because you dont have to deep clean everything because its already almost done. So when Zach and I got back from Pinnacle from working out, we worked on cleaning my apartment.. Which might have not been the best idea after pumping all that iron. HAHA (my muscles are getting huge... okay not really...)

After cleaning I helped my amazing roommate Anne with her math homework (yes Mom i helped with MATH) It was kind of fun. She is working on these proof problems, its basically a really hard story problem that she has to completely write and solve all the steps.

so she has been sitting in my room door way (as seen in picture) for the last hour and a half or so and we have been working on this problem. Anne is great and I really hope I was a good help!

And finally I have still been keeping up with my Ukulele, its hard to find time, but Zach and I def like to pop it out every once in a while. I tried to play tonight... but it was out of tune.

but now i know how to play "somewhere over the rainbow" by that really fat Hawaiian guy with the really long name : )

 I haven't had to work a bunch lately. So things have been nice

A couple days ago i received all my x-mas presents from my mom. I ran out to the mail box in gym shorts, a sweatshirt, and my ugg boots to meet the mail man so i could get my box! I was very excited and I got lots of exciting goodies! Ive been inseparable with my under armour since i got it!

I was very excited!

More later..

Is there a pause button I'm missing?!

My life lately has consisted of the following...

Making it slightly difficult to remember to post.. I apologize.

I spend lots of my time folding, censoring, selling clothes and other various items at the ever popular America Eagle Outfitters in Idaho Falls. I've enjoyed working there this semester, it has been lots of fun getting to know the people that I work with.. And there always seems something to laugh about there. The only downside... The DRIVE.. I never thought I would hate driving, it always used to be my get away to get in the car and just drive.. But now... I would just rather not.

...

Many of you that know me should know of my obsession with the Twilight series, So of course going to see New Moon is a given!

Mom generously gave me money to get tickets, so of course, Zach couldnt say no to free tickets! HaHa

He kept rolling his eyes at me during the whole thing (even though i secretly think he enjoyed it!) Its was great and I loved it. I would like to see it again... But i dont know if that one will fly with Zach. I think the next movie on our list is The Blind Side. I have heard such great things about it and I'm excited to see it.

...

Meet my friend the strange outdoor kitty! Zach and I had the genius idea to take our own engagement pictures. It worked out quite nicely. I own all the rights to my photos and I can do with them as I please. We had a lot of fun doing it to.. expect that it was a tad bit chilly out. And we made a new friend the strange outdoor kitty in the process.

: )

Here are a taste of some of the pictures I've sort of kind of edited. I really havent had time to do much.. But I thought I should give my faithful readers a taste. (also at the top of the blog)

...

With my spare time this is one of my favorite pass times.

SLEEP

I cant ever seem to get enough.

Until next time...

October went by too fast! `

I'm very sorry for the lack of post! It has been a slightly eventful past couple of weeks!

So since i last posted I've recovered (partially) from getting my wisdom teeth out.. I had to go back in today because something so stuck in there and was getting infected! yuck!

I've gotten sick... with mono! yuck! Not fun. Kinda made me sleep for like a week straight.

Zach got sick with Bronchitis, double ear infection.. and probably mono too.. we just dont know yet.

And just working at American Eagle.

I just realized i need to pick up a prescription... more later.

sorry.

pics soon!

Fall

So I am very sorry for the lack of posts lately I have been slightly busy even though I am off track this semester. I have been working at AE, and even though I dont work that much, It still keeps me busy with the 1/2 hour drive both ways. But i have some pictures still left from home that i havent posted. So i thought i would give you guys a little taste of what happened during my fall at home and the start of fall at school. : )

Mom got a new curling iron at home and so she decided to make me look like suzie Q for the night. but it turned out being pretty cute. Thats the night we went to Phat Daddys for dinner.

So i was really excited about this photo.. 1 because its my favorite dinner... Ham and Cabbage.. and 2 because... well it just looked cool. Unfortunately that night i contracted the 24 hour flu bug. it wasnt so wonderful.

Bowie, the faithful watch dog, is still hanging around at home and it was good to see him and the rest of the pets at home (r.i.p. Rascal) Sam was testing out if Bowie still had his skills.. which he does. Sam would throw his keys in the front yard and Bowie would search them out and sit down when he found them! Hes still got it! And of course his reward, his tennis ball.. look at that concentration!

Over Labor day weekend Grandma Mable came to visit us, so of course we had another one of our family dinners. It was nice to have a big chunk of the family all together. Grandma sat down on moms gigantic couch, so i had to take a picture! it was too funny, she is a very short lady!

Back in Idaho Zach and I took a Trip to Yellowstone National park! It was a lot of fun!

this is a picture from our hike up the side of the mountain. It was a really pretty view.. but very steep and really scary. But Zach helped me down. So everything was okay!

On our hike we went up to Fairy Falls! It was really pretty and it was my first look at a real waterfall! we got to take a lot of sweet pictures and it was really fun.

Zach and I took the trip with Allan and Megan. Allan served his mission with Zach in Colorado and is now one of his Roommates. Megan and Allan are engaged and getting married in December.

Group photo.

Remaking Sound of Music.. I dont know.. it was Zachs idea. But we had lots of fun!

Yellowstone.

Overall we have been having a fun fall. Zach and I are trying to spend as much time together as we can. We are having lots of fun. Zach is staying really busy with school and keeping on top of all of his school work. While I for the past week at been doing nothing because i just got all four wisdom teeth and a filling done last thursday. Lets just say its been an expirence!

But im doing better now and starting back up at work on Friday! yay

well thats all for this post!

Rainy Days

So these past couple of days its been pretty dumpy here at home, and so i decide to take some of the pictures I've taken and have some fun. i took some pictures of Haiden a couple of weeks ago and some pictures of a family night we had a couple nights ago.

Haiden was eating smarties so i could keep her from running off. She's on of the babies that my mom watches, She had finally warmed up to me so that i can actually play with her. She is pretty funny sometimes!

She has some pretty cute chunky knees. I thought they were sooo cute!

I thought this was pretty cool, we were shucking corn the other night for Grandpas birthday party and Abbie let me take her pictures.

"Is this heaven...?" "No it's Iowa." -Field of Dreams

So i got home last thursday night really late to Zach and Drake picking me up from the airport. Its been a really good time the few days ive been back!

My room at the new house. Mom had to get me all new bed stuff cuz my old stuff was lost in the flood. So im in the extra room at the new house.

On Saturday Abbie came into town and i hung out with her and my Mom. We went to get our toes done and had lunch together. Then Abbie was going to the county fair so i curled her hair and let her borrow my earrings.. she thought she was hot stuff. haha she does look pretty!

Then i dont have any pictures.. but we went out to dinner in iowa city for my birthday just me and zach , grandma and grandpa, and mom and sam (my step dad) It was sooo good. I got to get a pound and a half of crab legs!!! : ) YUMMY

These are the flags Zachary got me when i got off the plane! : ) I have pretty much the best boyfriend ever!!!!

So these are kind of out of order.. But on Friday i hung out with my Mom and the daycare kids.. Ronin really wanted me to take his picture haha

Lexi always smiles really big haha : )

It feels good to finally move on. I'm very excited to get to spend some time at home! And I'm so happy I am flying home tomorrow!!!! Drake and Zachary are going to pick me up from the airport! and I couldnt be more excited!

I've got my storage shed pretty packed up and taking my car there tomorrow on the way to the airport.
