make this week be over please.

This week has been ridiculous.
it is a good thing that G and I have a sense of humor.
im not going to bore you with the details of all the car problems we have had since being backed into.
because frankly i might start crying out of stress.
and it's awkward for every one involved when there are tears.
so lets talk about other things.
like the weather!
literally.

it is in the 90's for as far as the weather forecast goes!!!
And that brings me so much joy.
so of course this means time at the warm slough!

(Sal likes to adventure too much so we have to put his leash around our ankle when we want to read so that he doesn't run off. he gets a 4 foot radius and surprisingly doesn't mind too much.)



Also,
last night we went to put fliers on apartment doors for the Paul Bunyan Music festival and got home around 1:15am
and our door knob was broken.
it would turn but that was it.
it was so frustrating to have a key in your hand and the door not open.
luckily the night before we slept with the window open.
so i was able to pry the screen off and climb in.

today i did a presentation on "working from home"
totally just made things up while i was up there and got 100%.
thaaaank you.


And if you have not had a Mega Smarties sucker
you have not lived to the fullest.
they are SO good.
and at Broulims right now they are 2/89 cents.
i ll take 6 thank you (and will be back for more.)





This is a post about Sal.



I know i talk about Sal a lot.
but he is just the best.
we have been making him sleep in his own bed lately.
but in the morning he will let out a little cry for me to come get him
so i take him out to go potty
and then he gets to get back in bed with me.
and i get to wake up to this:




Originally he would cry around 6:30.
and then 6:00
and then 5:30
and now its around 4:45.
I think he has learned that the earlier he cries, the longer he gets to sleep in our bed.
he is still as playful as ever
and is a happy pup.



yesterday when G picked me up from school someone backed into us and messed up the bumper and the blinker.
we didnt think it was a big deal.

today i woke up feeling sick.
so i skipped work.
and later on we went to the sand dunes.
but before this happened:


this happened:


we got stuck.
i swear the sand was like quick sand.
luckily a nice old farmer man drove by right after i said, "ugh, should i call the tow truck?"
he hooked us up to his truck and pulled us out.
he was real nice.

On the way home we went to get an estimate on the car so we can get that fixed ASAP.
the first place said it was going to be $1,100.
the second place said $400.
Sal and I got to sit in the car and wait.


but when we were leaving the second place, the blinker stopped working completely.
and the speedometer.
and everything else in that general area of the car.
We have travel plans this weekend and need to get the car in and out by saturday...
I am getting all of my AmeriCoprs things figured out.
Trying to find a house.
Finishing up these last three weeks of work and school(!!!)
Packing up/selling what ever we can
figuring out the move
and the trip to California.
here is to trying not to stress!
at least i have these guys that I sure do love.



doooh!

its monday.
i had two test to take today.
and slept through my first class.
and ended up having to skip one class in order to take a test before the deadline.
after taking my test i went to exit the testing center and turn in my test and i went out the wrong door....!
i went out the emergency exit.
and the alarm went off.
and i was so embarrassed.
the testing center is all new and different and i am not used to it still. (obviously)
and i was looking down at my test and thinking about other things.
woof.
when you return your test there are two doors right next to each other.
one where you go to turn in your test
and the other that leads to out side and is the emergency exit.
so when i went through the wrong door and was standing out side with my test and the alarm sounding
i had a choice to make.
walk away really fast, hope no one noticed it was me, and forget about turning my test in and just get a zero on it.
or walk all the way around, back into the testing center, stand in line, explain that i was the one who went through the wrong door like a fool, turn in my test, and leave with my head high.
as much as i wanted to hide,
i did the later.
(though my head was not high)

soul band.


G had a soul band show on saturday.
these are easily some of my favorite things to go to.
they are just so much fun.
he didnt play guitar this time so he danced through all of the songs.
and it was so great. 
(i love that photo above that a friend took.)
he also just shaved his beard.
the last time i saw him with out a beard was last july before he went to Chicago for the summer while i stayed in rexburg.
that was almost a year ago...!
i cant stop staring at him. 
i didnt realize how much different a person can look with and with out a beard.


music by the river


a couple of nights ago a few of us went over to a dear friend, Sharon Morgan's house.
she is such an amazing women.
so kind and free.
she lives right on the river and has a beautiful home and yard.
we roasted hot dogs and mallows, talked for hours, watched Sal play with her dog Patch,
and Garrett played music. (Sharon is a HUGE Garrett fan.huge.)
her place is so peaceful, time passed by so fast it was midnight before we knew it.
it was just the kind of night i needed.
sharon once wrote a book back in the 80's
i have asked her on a few occasions if i could read it and she would always say no, 
or give me an excuses or say she doesn't let any one read it.
but this time, when we were about to leave she ran up stairs and grabbed it for me.
I started reading it as soon as we got home and couldn't put it down.
it is about her being born a member of the Church, getting lost in the 60's to drugs and the idea of finding something bigger, and then finding her way back to the Church.
the book is full of searching, truth, and her testimony of the Church. 
it is beautiful.
and i will even admit that i read it though 3 of my classes today and cried twice.
right there in the middle of class.
she most likely will not want me to recommend this book to any one.
but i do.
it was refreshing.

Always posing.



This guy always looks like he is ready for a picture.
