Idaho

Well Hello Again..

Long time no post! Im sorry once again, but i procrastinate so much with hw, and blogging apparently.

But we are now back in Idaho and in our new apartment. (pictures of that will have to come later)
We started school last Thursday, and so far so good. Zach is really enjoying the classes he is taking right now, and I as well. (they will be challenging, but not too bad). We have had a wonderful start to our time in Rexburg. Even though coming back here always stings just a little, I am really coming to enjoy being out west.
  Since we got here we have been on the hunt for furniture and for jobs, and all that good stuff. And I was wonderfully blessed with a job working at Circle of Love here in Rexburg! One of my really good friends (Danielle) works there full time, and I went into visit her last week and she told me about the position and WALAA.. Kylea has a new job. I am so excited for the new challenge and for the excitement of working in a Bridal store. I think its been one of my dream places to work and I am so excited. (I start working Tuesday!!!)

To back track a little, Zach and I got to take a little mini vacation to Colorado for a few days and we had a blast. We stayed in littleton for a few days with one of the most awesome families ever that Zach met on his mission. Then we went on to Glenwood springs where Zach and I got to go on a horse back ride through a canyon and Zach got to fish the Colorado and Crystal Rivers. It was really nice to spend time together and to see beautiful Colorado. (Even though I had bad allergies the whole trip.)

This weekend has been so awesome. At the beginning of school I was feeling kind of down, just because i didnt really know how to fit in with my newly married status. I feel like people at school think  I have the plague and cant talk to me because I have a ring on my finger.. : (
But Saturday one of Zachs old roommates, and one of my classmates had their rexburg reception. We went and caught up with old roommates and friends, and then went out to dinner with them and had a really good time. It is so refreshing to know you have close friends that are in the same boat you are. : ) Then today we went to Zach's cousin Nicole's baby blessing. It was really cool to see two different families filling up two huge rows at church. Then we had dinner with all of them and it was just really nice to have the family here in Idaho and all be together!
THEN... we checked our mail because we forgot to do that yesterday.. and my Ram for my computer came in!!!
    why is this so exciting...??
well my computer is now almost four years old.. and its a tad bit on the full side, and it decides to run really slow when i want to do things like edit photos or upload anything.. So Mike (my father-in-law) got the genius idea to add more ram.. because getting a new computer is wayyyy to expensive and thats not something thats on the budget right now. So now i basically have a whole new computer. Its great!!!!!

And here are some photos...

My Grayson man...
He looks so cute in his Ralph sweater.. all ready for school! 

I took my cousin Morgan's senior photos this summer.. Is she so pretty?!

I finally got to one of my brothers football games.
Im so excited for him.. He is playing really well this year

Drake's fan club! 

New blog design

Just thought I would dedicate a post to my new design. I am starting to figure out how to make it back to normal again!

I am watching New Moon right now and loving every minute of it.
: )

Lets play catch up...

So the month of July has come and gone...
Its been a busy one with all kinds of fun. So i thought i should give my blog an over all update.

So I have found out there are certain qualifications for being a Zmoos... 

1. you have to know how to fish

2. own a swiss army knife

3. know how to shoot some sort of gun...

and the list continues... but for the purpose of my story that just about does it for now. So i know how to fish..sorta, and i received a swiss army knife for christmas.. so now was the gun part. And as most people know I have said over and over again that I would never shoot a real one. 

So I learned how to shoot a pellet gun... and shhh... dont tell anyone... but its kind of fun, and kind of addicting. So every now and again Zach and I will go out back and shoot soda cans or random pieces of gutters from the garage. 

This summer has been nice because not only did I get to greet my new nephew Grayson, but I got to spend a lot more time getting to know my niece Maddy. Shes 2 and has lots of energy. 

Zach and I get to go on lots of fun adventure with the family and its nice to have Maddy to play with and laugh with.

So the weather man decided to ruin my birthday celebration and told us it was going to rain.. So we cancelled the trip to lost island and went to the Mississippi River museum instead. It was still lots of fun and we got to play some more with Miss Maddy! 

Then we went back home for some really awesome birthday cake and even more awesome presents!!!

Liz (My sister-in-law) Gave me this awesome book she made with all kinds of fun crafts and I have had fun trying to figure some of them out, and the complete hard back book set of the Twilight series!  Mike and Karen (my parents-in-law?? did that make sense?) gave me some sewing essentials, a cutting matt and rotary cutter, ruler, and new shears : ) so its was a great time. 

On my actual birthday (7-28) I worked at the office so I didnt so much celebrating, buy my mom came in and surprised me along with my Tator and Andrew on their last day of day-care. So it was really nice to see all of them! 

Then Zachie came by and surpised me with the beautiful flowers you see below! 

such a great hubs (my new word for him, i think husband is still too weird to say! haha)

Antsy!

Oh Boy! Am I ever antsy. I just have a million things running in my mind about leaving and gonig to school. I am very excited to get back and get all of our stuff to Idaho...

Speaking of getting things to Idaho

Anyone know anything to get a few boxes out to school that wont fit in our car?!

I have been doing some research...

1. uhaul... realllllyyy expensive! We would have to put a hitch on our car and thats just a big ol mess that I really dont want to deal with.

2. Fed-Ex... I went in to talk to them and they looked at me like I was stupid for asking about pricing... yes i dont have the boxes packed.. i would just like an estimate..; But no... That was too difficult for them to handle.

3. UPS... Let just say the girl there might have had a crush on me... she was overly nice... But still... expensive..

4. USPS... I havent gone in to talk with them yet because it always takes 5 years whenever you go in there... so im debating on whether or not i should just call...

The summer in winding down and people are starting to talk about fall and I am just getting very excited! Im ready to have my own apartment again, and be in town with all of my friends!

I need to update photos soon... I shall do that when I actually get motivated to put them on my computer...

for now... you can take a gander at my favorite

little man

love him!

Humph...

i find myself in kind of a sour mood about blogging...
1. i messed up my blog and i cant figure out how to make it normal again...
2. I have been updating more frequently... and nothing... not comments from like the last three posts... should i be seeing this whole blog thing as a lost cause....???

oops!

So i messed up my blog and I dont know how to make it go back to normal!

Someone help. I just want it back to the basic so i can make my own background...


...help!

Remember me.

So last night I watched the movie "Remember Me"  and to make a long story short... *spoiler alert* If you dont want to know how it ends.. Skip down a few sentences...

 Tyler Hawkins (aka Robert Pattinson...Edward Cullen... ) falls in love with a girl and ends up bring his messed up family back together, and when this finally all happens he dies in 9-11 in the NY trade center building. 

   And sadly to say, chick flicks really get to me...  and so I bawled... It really got me thinking though, especially when today hit...

     Four years ago today I was in a car on the way to the waterpark in Waterloo when the tire blew on the suv I was in and I was ejected from the window as the car was rolling in the ditch. Surprisingly i didnt break a single bone, and only ended up having a couple pieces of glass in my back and some pretty bad pulled muscles in my shoulder. I only had to spend one night in the hospital and had a few months of recovering with the bad shoulders. 

It got me thinking.. I really hope that I have made an impact in someones life, and that someone would remember me. 

Overall the accident really changed my life for the better and I am grateful for everyday and I always remember to wear my seatbelt. : )
