The Fisher Family

I REALLY stink at blogging.

2011-08-27T08:47:00.001-07:00

I feel like I never have anything to write about :P
but I guess I can share some pictures

Here is Emmie napping in her big girl bed for the first time

Emmie is REALLY into helping us with everything these days. Here she is helping us clean our old apartment lol

And no one cares, but I have to share our fluffy rainbow :)

I think it's the first time all our diapers have ever been all washed and stuffed at the same time. So I took a picture :)

Not much is going on with us. We just got settled into our new place. Emmie is LOVING our yard. Things are pretty boring right now, but I guess that's a good thing :) I'm so ready for fall. I'm ready for cooler weather and I'm excited to decorate for the season! Pinterest.com has too many ideas that I have to try :)

Meatloaf Cupcake Recipe

2011-07-11T09:06:00.000-07:00

Meatloaf Cupcakes

Preheat oven at 450degrees

1lb of ground beef
¾ C oatmeal
½ tsp oregano
2 T parsley or 1 T crushed parsley
2/3 C Milk
1 tsp Salt
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of onion powder
2 eggs

Wisk together eggs, oregano, parsley, milk, salt, pepper, onion, and oatmeal. Using your hands or a spoon combine meat with mixture.

Sauce:

1 C Ketchup
1 TB mustard powder [we didn't have mustard powder so I used spicy brown mustard and it turned out great]
1½ TB brown sugar

Put meat mixture into sprayed cupcake pan and then spread sauce on each cupcake. Bake for 15-20 min. Make desired mashed potatoes that you want to pipe on top of the meatloaf cupcake. I used the box kind to make it faster. Then top with your favorite toppings: Peas, carrots, onions, or parsley. Then Enjoy!

What Have I Been Up To?

2011-07-08T21:25:00.000-07:00

Well...not much...I'm pretty boring :)

But I was pretty excited to find these linen baskets at the dollar store! We've been debating getting baskets for Emmie's toys and books since she's learning how to pick up. I'm glad I found these! Not only are they cute, but I couldn't pass up $1/basket when we had been looking at ones at Target that were $6.99[on sale...] per basket.... Definitely found myself a bargain here!

Sorry for the crappy pics, I only had my phone on me

They were the perfect solution for organizing her little library! Yes, my child loves books.

For Fourth of July, I made chocolate covered strawberries. They were a pretty big hit at the party :)

Haha, so this photo below is random, but these moments are so rare! I was making her lunch and turned around to put her plate down and what do you know...she was asleep lol. In her booster chair...that couldn't have been comfortable.

Here is my mess of a child :) She is into wearing our shoes now.

In this picture, Emmie was participating in a free Tavaci class. Our town does free lunches for kids at the park every weekday [sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! lol] and today the local Tavaci company came out to do a free class. Pretty much it's kids tapping sticks to a song. The kids had fun, but there's no way in heck I'd pay for these classes. Emmie can hit sticks together at home while I sing. lmbo.

I will say though, I can't wait until she's old enough for a dance or gymnastics class. I'm gonna look into swimming lessons for toddlers on campus in the winter. Someone mentioned they offer it and I think Em

Cupcakes...

2011-06-22T13:37:00.000-07:00

We had a cupcake themed meal the other day. :)
Meatloaf cupcakes [seriously SO easy and only takes like 30minutes total] and chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting and sprinkled with cinnamon.

The whole family loved it, even Emmie! I was quite surprised when she dug into her meatloaf cupcake, took a bite and exclaimed "MMMMM!" haha. Anyways, just wanted to share my pretty pictures LOL.

My little buddy

2011-06-16T10:53:00.000-07:00

I love this kid!

2011-06-15T14:37:00.000-07:00

This post may be a little all over the place. I have a few different things to post about and with how blogger uploads pic I decided just to upload a bunch of pics write about them then do the next bunch. So, I apologize for the post not flowing.

Not much new is going on. It's finally "warm" here. It's currently 73 degrees outside with a good breeze. This morning it was 60 something degrees when we were at the splash park [pics down below.] haha. That is warm to us.

I'm finally going to start working out. FINALLY. I found a work out buddy, so we're going to go to Zumba, Kick Boxing, and Abs that Rock! classes on campus. I'm so excited! My first Kick Boxing class is tonight! :) It'll be nice to do something for me for a change.

Anyyyyways...

So, after Emmie's baths I always sit her in the sink so I can do her hair. Well this time she immediately grabbed my blush and brush and started to pretend to put it on. She was smiling and giggling at herself. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. I love her so much. It made me realize how much she is watching me, every single little thing I do--even mundane things such as apply makeup. I hope I can be the example she deserves <3

We went to the Splash Park today :) Luckily I didn't forget my camera! But...ofcourse Emmie wanted nothing to do with taking good pictures. lol

I decided to let Emmie make daddy his Father's Day card. It was really easy. I wrote on the paper with white crayon, she went to town with water colors over it. Tada!

Summer is here!

2011-06-05T18:06:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited to be able to spend time outside finally!!!
Maybe I'll actually have pictures to post from now on! haha!

So what's new? Emmie is almost 16months. Today at church the nursery teachers said we can start bringing her and introducing her to nursery since they only have ONE kid in their class! LOL! I am so excited!

Oh! When we were getting out of the car today to go into church there was a tall, bigger, nearly bald man getting out of the car next to us and Emmie starts pointing and yelling "Pa-Bo! Pa-Bo!"....Pa-Bo is what she calls my dad. It was cute and kinda made me sad, I wish we were closer to family!

Emmie is starting to pick up on words a lot lately, it's been fun! Some NEW words/phrases are "Elmo" [sometimes comes out mel-mo], "Me-Me" [What she calls herself, sometimes it comes out "I[like eye]-E" and once she said Emmie perfectly], "Good Girl", "it's a [fill in the blank]". There's more, my brain just isn't working.

She's REALLY into Elmo lately. We have two Elmo movies and we rent atleast one different Elmo's World show from the library once a week. She recently just got an Elmo Stuffed animal...she drags it EVERYWHERE and refuses to sleep without it.

As you can see, he's not small!

Anyways, here are some fun pics of the goob lately:

She has the best bed head ever!

Playing with her friend

I finally finished painting her letters of her name for her wall!

My child thinks she's cool

Eating lunch at the table for the first time with her friend, Leah.

She was pretty proud of herself

She wears her sunglasses EVERYWHERE

lol

I look stupid, but she is cute as always! I LOVE her!

Story of my life, she's ALWAYS at my side lol

But she's always hugging and kissing me, so I don't mind :)

Free Stuff :)

2010-11-22T10:11:00.000-08:00

I love finding free things :)
Friday was a fun mail day.

I got this puzzle using free pampers gifts to grow codes I found online. They sent the snack container with it for free also :D [btw, we don't use pampers at all, I used codes that were posted online]

I enter blog giveaways often, and won this Gdiaper package. It came with 2 gdiapers, 6 gcloth inserts, and a pack of gwipes- about a $60 value]

Here's Em sporting her gdiaper

Notice her leg warmers in this picture. Those are daddy's old socks we cut up =)

Winter is here to stay!

2010-11-22T09:51:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday it snowed.

It snowed about 1.5inches while we were at church, then at tithing settlement [we were there maybe a short 15-20minutes] it snowed another 1.5inches! So. I guess thats that. Winter is here. It's going to snow and snow and snow til spring. Sigh.

You know its winter when you have to wear your UGGS INSIDE bc its THAT cold.

Anyways, since it was snowing we decided to take emmie out in it for the first time.
Thanks to Annie sending us a snow suit for her!

Here she is getting ready :D

THIS reminded me of A Christmas Story. She couldn't move, only barely move her arms up and down lol.

She hated it lol

Luckily the pretty snow distracted her

Okay.

2010-11-15T12:33:00.000-08:00

I'm TRYING to remember to do this lol.

As promised Emmie in her costume--

I know I promised a picture overload...BUT we went with some friends trunk or treating and I took pictures of their little guy first for them, and by the time we got to Emmie's turn the men were being bums... So. Sad day :(

As for us...nothing much is new. We got 2 new cloth diapers we were pretty excited about :D

Here's em showin off her new kawaii dipe. Daddy picked the color

Here's a picture of both of them. Daddy picked both. The one on the left is a nighttime diaper in safari animals and the left is the same as above, just a regular diaper :)

Here would be Emmie getting into TROUBLE

OH! Good news! I am now selling my Dino hats at the local Consigment store-- Mommy n Me! So crocheting these up have been keeping me busy at night when Emmie goes to sleep!

:)

Sheesh I stink at this!

2010-10-30T11:16:00.000-07:00

So I read blogs alot but I stink at updating my own!

So I can't remember the last thing I posted about...but I'm sure it was awhile ago. I don't have any pictures to share today bc I've posted most of them on facebook, but I'm going to be taking a heapload tonight since emmie will be all dressed up in her halloween costume [thanks to Annie!] and we're going to 3 halloween events this evening. haha. So I'll make sure do a picture overload for that.

So what's new? Ummm... Fish is working 2 jobs. He got promoted at his second job! He's now a supervisor! yay!!! And thats about it. He works alot and we see him for short spurts of time here and there. It's alright though :)

As for Emmie, she is 8.5months old now! She's been crawling since 5.5months, standing around 7 months, and now she takes up to 2 steps! I think we still have a few weeks to a month to go til we can say we have a walker though :) She's got such a personality already. She's a good mix of both of us, but I can definately see ALOT of me in her.
Anyways, its nap time and I'm lucky if I get 30minutes to myself. So I'm going to log off and clean.

Pictures soon!

Just some fun :)

2010-06-17T08:45:00.000-07:00

So the other day Emmie and I got bored. After working in a daycare for a little while I luckily have a bunch of activities and tricks up my sleeve.

So we made some homemade playdough! She loved squishing it in her hands!! She was totally fascinated by it.

We did her footprints for fun [we threw it away but took a picture to remember lol]

Fish and I are also working on a puzzle! I love this picture so much! We actually have a lot more done now, we should finish it here pretty soon!

This is what the full picture looks like:

Anyways, we're going to a friend's today, so hopefully I can get some more pictures of Emmie playing :) She's been rolling around like a little pro lately! She's gonna be mobile in no time! =S Thats a little scary haha

Baby Food

2010-06-15T16:11:00.000-07:00

We started making our own baby food!

haha This would be pureed cooked carrots. We freeze the extra in an ice cube tray [each cube is a serving size]!

Those are pureed nectarine :) Emmie LOVES nectarines

Emmie about to eat her carrots!

First bite!

I think she approves!!!!!

lol
Anyways, making our own baby food is SO EASY! We don't have to spend any extra money, because its made from whatever fresh fruits/veggies we already have! We love it because we spend less than 30min and make a bunch for later. one nectarine made 5 servings, 3 long carrots made about 6 servings! :)

Another Hike!

2010-06-15T16:05:00.000-07:00

We took Emmie up to Heise nature trail the other day! She absolutely loves being outdoors!

Its a very beautiful view of the snake river plain

The one above is the snake river! We went fishing there once :) And went "floating" there last summer lol

Our little family :)

and me lol

What I've been up to lately!

2010-06-15T15:56:00.001-07:00

I guess I should start posting the little things I do that I always overlook!

Lately I've been into baking!

These are little cakeballs that my friend Tiffany and I made! They were fairly easy to make, just a little messy :)

All you do is bake a cake. After it is cooled you crumble the cake and mix it up with a can of frosting. Roll balls out of the mixture and let it set in the freezer. Once they're set, dip them in melted chocolate! They're so easy and so yummy!

BoM goal!

2010-05-27T23:00:00.000-07:00

So this past Sunday the sister who taught our relief society lesson challenged us to read the Book of Mormon in a month. I was amazed when she said its possible if you read ONLY 17pages a day...HOW DO-ABLE IS THAT?!

So Fish and I are on day 2! I have to say its much more enjoyable when you read more than just a chapter or two. You get more of the storyline in which makes it actually fun to read!

I'll definately keep you updated to see if we were able to read it in a month! That means we should finish it around June 27th!

:) I'm probably a nerd for being uber excited. haha

Mesa Falls

2010-05-19T14:50:00.000-07:00

No pictures this post, I forgot the camera when we went on our little day trip. I'm going to have to steal some from my friend when she posts!

Saturday, Emmie and I went with our friends, The Doyles, to Mesa Falls! Its a beautiful waterfall about 45minutes North of us. Here's a pic of it:

Emmie loved it up there! She loves being outside period. I was surprised though, she was pretty fascinated with the falls, whereas her buddy, Tom, only stared at her the whole time! lol.

So Monday Emmie and I took daddy up to the falls, because we loved it so much. There's also a spot you can feed rainbow trout. They are HUGE and fight over the bread lol.

Thanks to Tiffany Doyle, we have also joind a playgroup that meets twice a week! We're pretty excited about that...It's nice to get out of the house.

Anyways, thats whats goin on with us lately :)

It's Been Awhile

2010-05-06T18:20:00.000-07:00

It's been well over a year since I've posted. Let's see...to sum up the past year...We moved to that apartment, changed jobs, lost jobs, had a baby, found a new job, and now moving!

The best of all those things was Emmie entering our family! She is such a bundle of joy!

Emerson Leigh came to our family on February 13, 2010 at 7:25pm. She weigh 7 lbs, 6oz and was 21inches long.

We were lucky parents from the start. She is a great little sleeper!!!!

Here are a few pictures from Emmie's first 3 months!

That one was for Annie. She does cry sometimes :)

Emmie and her Grandma Savage

Emmie and Grandma Savage & Aunt Debbie

Emmie watching mama fold laundry:

She is so beautiful :)

She has loved to stand up since day 1!

Anyways, I promise to do better at posting..now that I have a child to ooh and ahh over lol :)

Bigger & Better things

2009-03-25T01:21:00.000-07:00

haha not really, but I need to feel optimistic.

We're moving in less than 3 weeks!!!! HOLY CRAP.
the semester ends in less than 3 weeks! a new one begins in about 4 weeks!!!!!
crazy!

Anyways, so we're moving to a different apartment complex.
We've decided it's time to upgrade just a little.
Its been hectic not having the convenience of a Washer and dryer in our home, or a disposer.
So, we found a steal, no joke.
We're moving into a 2 bedroom apartment with washer and dryer, and a disposer for about the same price we're paying now for a 1bedroom without all that. It may end up costing us up to $20 more each month, which is really not a big deal.

We're definately excited for this change. Things have just gotten so busy with both of us working and going to school that having to go to the laundry facility was sincerely a time killer for us. Not only that, but we'd like to be able to have company over more...its near impossible in our current apartment, theres no where to put people!!! lol. So we're moving to the part of town where most of our close friends live. It'll be nice to have those we know near us..instead of complete strangers who make us feel invisible.

Anyways, its like 2:25am and I've got alot of homework to do... I'll catch ya guys later.
love you

Nothing new

2009-03-20T10:43:00.000-07:00

Not too much is new with the Alex and I. Winter semester is almost over, thank goodness, but Spring semester is nippin at our heels. Atleast spring is finally deciding to come out and play...hopefully. lol.
The temps are ranging anywhere from 35-55degrees, the wind is just still very chilly.

As for school, Fish has deciding on goin into the geology major, I'm still an elementary education major. Fish had to change tracks for his major, which kinda stinks because now I go to school January through July, and he goes to school September through April...which means no vacation time really. Oh well, suppose we need to be saving anyways... Since he's changing tracks he'll be going to school three semesters this year, which is great because he needs to get caught up with schooling. We're thinking about getting him on the fast grad program so we can go to school year round and graduate around the same time I do, which would be fantastic.

Work is going well, for me atleast. I got promoted to Lead, which is gonna be tiring, but more hours, more money, so I'll deal. Fish is not particularly liking Quiznos, but keeping with it because jobs are scarce these days, he may try to find a second job because Quiznos is cutting back hours. We'll see how everything goes.

Cool random something though! Tonight at my work David Archuleta is throwing an afterparty. Unfortunately I have to work it. haha. its gonna be quite insane....All the silly infatuated girls are gonna drive me bonkers. haha. oh well. Good business for the The Rex, which keeps me in a job. lol.

Other than that not too much else is happening. We're slowly getting to know some other couples around here which is nice, mostly people i work with and their wives/husbands. The people in our apartment complex aren't too open or friendly...silly newlyweds who can't imagine one second without their spouse or sharing an hour or two on a double date or something. sheesh. lol.

Anyways, We can't wait for Summer to fly by so we can hopefully fly home to georgia during the month of august. its the only month the whole year neither of us have school lol. So we'll see how plans go!

Gotta run to class. <3 you all!

i need..

2009-03-06T15:21:00.000-08:00

Ok, I saw this on Annie's blog and thought it was funny. I decided to check it out. What you do is go to Google and type in "{Your Name} needs" and see what pops up. Here are my top 6:

1. Alexandra needs to buy a tooth! (hmm wonder what happened to my old one)
2. Alexandra needs a new heart, and. she needs it now. (how sad...i must be falling apart)
3. Alexandra needs the loan in order buy utensils, tables and chairs for her new business. (i wonder what business i'm opening up)
4. The last thing Alexandra needs is a handsome and very suspicious detective hanging around her.(LOL)
5. Alexandra need to be reminded that it's not polite to stare. (hehe)
6. Alexandra needs to overcome the fear of her journey

This will bring tears.

2009-03-05T12:55:00.000-08:00

we watched this in our health class, during our child abuse lecture. I sincerely was brought to tears, I can't imagine anyone ever wanting to hurt their child...but this is real...

I hope we can all "honor our children" and give them the love that they deserve as children of our Heavenly Father.

Happy Valentines Day...

2009-02-14T20:11:00.000-08:00

I'm terrible at this, i know.
I just feel like I don't have much to talk about.
When you have a child, its different, you cant talk about your kid and the funny things they do
but...talking about yourself? its not very fun.

Well it's Valentine's Days. Our first one as "old married folks".
You know, I don't particularly like Valentine's day...
I dont believe there should be a "day to proclaim your love".
You should do that everyday.

Anyways, i worked 1pm-8pm
Fish works 5pm-11pm.
go figure.
lol.

We don't mind it though. Its just another day.
Plus, we need the money.

He did get me a card though, he's sweet.

As for life, not much has changed.
still working, still going to school.
busy, busy.

hope everyone else has had a wonderful hallmark holiday.

Christmas and an update on life

2008-12-28T10:32:00.000-08:00

I Suppose I'll start the little update on our life first.

Things are going pretty good for us.
Fish got promoted to Night-Time shift manager with a raise =D
With that promotion, my early morning job didnt really work out too well for us.
So I got a job at the local movie theater.
And I LOVE IT.

other than that.
We've been getting a couple feet of snow every week
its kinda getting old.

lol

but i must admit its pretty

Just not fun to drive and live in.

As for Christmas...
Lets juts say we didnt have the best Christmas ever.

but it sure will be one of our most memorable hehe.

We really tried to make it good
so in the morning we woke up

and opened the few gifts we had recieved from mom and aunt deb.

We decided to pass getting eachother presents this year because of our low budget.

So, we tried to celebrate the holiday with our new Hot Cocoa maker [thanks aunt deb!]

it was delicious!

but then i had to go to work =[[

So i told Fish to follow me out with the snow shovel cuz i was sure the car was snowed in
So we dug the car out and i was on my way...

on my way to get stuck in the snow

in our parking lot

almost on the road....

luckily a truck with a group of people were driving around
on Christmas to help people who were stuck

and they got me out in less than 2 minutes.

It was so sweet.

finally i got to work all wet and frozen.

worked a whole 8 hour shift.

but thankfully people were very sweet to us

Lots of them thanked us for working so they could enjoy their Christmas.

So that made things a little easier at work.

Time to go home, 10:40pm.

driving down the road.

[bear in mind there is a 5 foot barrier of snow in the median]

a snow plow is in my lane coming TOWARDS me.

Pushing another barrier of snow

[i drive a civic]

he waves for me to just drive on through the snow....

uh..yeah..like thats gonna happen.

but he keeps beckoning for me to come drive through it.

So i'm tired i'm pissed i do it anyways

not to my surprise i get stuck.

he DOESNT get out to help.

he just watches.

thankfully, there 2 two cars behind me,

they both got out and pushed me out of the snow.

So i start calling Fish, cuz i knew if they hadnt plowed out our parking lot

I was NOT going to make it into the apartment complex

what do you know, they didnt plow it

annnd it had snowed about another foot while i worked.

so we park the car on the side of the road with our hazards on and both get to work

shoveling tire tracks out of the snow

and making sure the middle is low enough for the civic to drive through.

about 20min into shoveling another car pulls up

they need in the parking lot too

So there we are, the 4 of our shoveling snow for 2 HOURS.

So yeah. thats my story.

after we finally got the cars up to the top of the parking lot,

i was beat and went to bed =/

lol

I hope everyone else had a much better Christmas

lol

i got the job.

2008-11-24T16:38:00.000-08:00

finally a job.

yes 4am-7am.

but hey, it'll work.

I WILL MAKE IT.

bwahahaha.

anyways, my first day is tomorrow

I'll let ya know how it goes.

The BEST weekend EVER!

2008-11-22T14:09:00.000-08:00

not.

lol

Yes, i'm being debbie downer right now. whoo...hoo... Nah its not anything too bad, everything that happened could have been worse. The whole still being unemployed is really starting to get to me. There just is seriously nothing i can do yet. I did get a call from walmart [...joy], but he's calling me back on monday to discuss setting up an interview, but even then its only a temporary job for seasonal work...suck.
But we'll see, i'm looking into applying for this other job on Monday. haha, its a custodial job...but it offers work through december and then all through the winter school semester. The only terrible thing is the work hours at 4am-7am, but if its the only thing i can get...then i'll deal. My classes end early anyways, so that gives me the afternoon to study/do homework and spend a lil time with my husband before i go to bed between 8:30-9:00pm. ...yeah.

Anyways, so the car battery died the other day. We went and bought a new one... and now my laptop has decided to be difficult... I think it is fixable though, hopefully Sean can help with that at Thanksgiving...I think i just need a Windows XP startup CD, which for some reason i dont have. Anyways...

Thats life as of right now.
Not too much else going on.

I just can't wait to get down to Utah this next week and see the family...
yep. thats it.

love you guys.

I'll show you whose more boring.

2008-11-22T02:09:00.000-08:00

Another Crazy tag...
The rules are:* Link to the person who tagged you (Annie) [im too lazy to link]

*Post the rules on your blog

*Write six random things/unspectacular quirks about yourself

* Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them

* Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog

* Let the tagger know when your entry is posted

Here we go:

1. I love TLC. If I have nothing else to do, you WILL find me by the tv watching any show on TLC. my favs are "what not to wear" [watch it RELIGIOUSLY] i really like "a baby story" and seriously ANY other show except "LA Ink"--seen it, its not too bad, kinda interesting, but not my fav. anyways.

2. I miss the old me. I use to be fun and outgoing and i dont know. I guess more energetic. I dont feel that way anymore...i think its because i stopped dancing and there went all my physical activity that gave me my boost in the day...I miss it...that was my output for anything. When i danced i could let any emotion out without having to speak it. Angry, Happy, Sad, i'd let it go through dance...now im just an emotional, mental basketcase.

3. I like puzzles. like jigsaw puzzles.

4. I want to dye my hair darker brown again, with a turquoiseyblue streak in my hair...i really want to do it. but 1. its not allowed at BYUI, and i would be afraid of how people would look at me....but i really do want to do it one day.

5. Annie thinks she has the worst memory, i'm telling you I DO. I feel like an IDIOT half the time. I think it has to do with my head injury when i was 8. I cant remember anything before the age of 8, from my own memory, so pictures and videos dont count helping me remember. Ever since then my ability to retain details and memories is incredibly sucky. Ask my husband, i met him and hung out with him at a party, met him a lil while later at a dance and had no idea who he was. Its sad.

6. I'm a big crybaby. I will cry over anything. Bambi's mom dying, a happy ending to a movie or book, hearing my friend's problems or sorrow, anything, i will cry.

oh i guess i gotta tag people. too bad i only know 4 bloggers, 1 of which tagged me. sooo

i tag melissa, tara, and christina

list.

Idaho: Here we come!

2008-09-25T15:51:00.001-07:00

So its official. in about two weeks we are moving to Idaho!!!!! how crazy is that?!?!?!!! lol.

So we're working on getting our things packed, getting everything set in order, its a little

stressful, but we can handle it.

Do you know how expensive it is to move across the country? haha. stupid gas prices....

Anyways, so Oct. 9th is our moving day, the beginning of our 3, pos

sibly 4 day drive. Oh yes, we're driving a U-Haul with the civic towed behind. YIKES! lol. It'll be an adventure, hopefully we'll still be married after this trip. JK!!!!!!!

Anyways, so we're way excited to start our trip and go back to school. I cannot wait to get back to Rexburg,

especially now that the temple is open! I believe the Rexburg temple is one of the most gorgeous temples ever built! you should see it!! They built it right on top of the hill above the school. So the students can see if from anywhere in rexburg pratically. Its amazing. You should see it at night. The lights shine and its seriou

sly like a nightlight to the whole town. =D Then ofcourse i also love the Idaho Falls temple. Its built right next to some little waterfalls. which are pretty too.

We both can't wait to get back into school. It'll be tough with part time jobs, fulltime school,

but worth it. I can't wait to get back into that environment. It seriou

sly is a wonderful place to be. and you know what we are excited for most of all?????????:

THE POTATOES!!!!!!!!!!

So Excited!

2008-09-15T21:49:00.000-07:00

So we're still working on trying to figure out whats going on with this whole moving and school thing. Its a little nerve-racking not knowing specific details! Or rather waiting on someone else to make a decision so you can make yours! ugh! We're waiting on this couple to decide whether or not they're moving, and until they decide, we can't do anything...
I've been doing a bunch of researching lately. Moving companies, how much this will cost or that, apartment, jobs (haha looks like we'll probably be potato sorters), and most importantly majors. I'm sincerely interested in pursuing a Computer Science degree, but its so hard to decide what you're gonna do for the rest of your life! Isnt it?! But i figure, i love computers, i always have, they're always intrigued me. Everyone who's been around me knows that. I actually desire to learn more about them, more about programming and the computer language, its fascinating! anyways, so i've been looking into that, and then possibly getting a Master's in it after.
Fish is interested in becoming a meteorologist, which means a physic's degree for him. (He's crazy!!!) lol. Then after pursuing a Master's in atmospheric science or something. anyways. Hey, atleast the 2 majors are in the same department. lol We will have a few common classes =]

Then when it comes to minors. oiy. what i do like is BYUI offers clusters as an option. So i dont have to decide on A Minor, i can choose a cluster of classes that'll help me with my specific desires. So with the Computer Science, i'd want clusters in subjects such as graphic design.

Don't know what fishie would do, but he still has some researching to do. He may change his mind anyways once he's taken some generals and such.

But anyways, i was just updating you on our currents thoughts. lol. We'll see how this whole moving thing goes. Def keep ya'll updated on that.!

Much love!

Family Fun

2008-09-14T10:46:00.001-07:00

Seems like family just keep comin and goin.

Annie, Reid, William, and Aunt Deb are here right now. Its been a pleasantish weekend. Been a lil busy. not too much goin on really.

Oh, btw, Fish did get accepted to BYU-I this weekend!!!! So yay! we're possibly moving within the next month if an apartment opens up. we'll keep you updated.

But anyways, here are pics of me and the little man having fun on the IMac

I'll try to update with pics from my life more often. im just soo lazy. i miss takin pics yo

Everyday Life

2008-08-23T14:16:00.000-07:00

Not much is going on in our life right now.

My job is fine, it'll suffice until we move. I do miss KidsRKids, who would've thought i've ever say that?? psh. oh well.

Fish is still trying to find a job, he's applied everywhere. Just keep him in your prayers i guess, and he'll just keep trying.

But other than that we got to spend our beautiful rainy saturday together. We decided to go to Cochran's Mill and take a walk. It was fun, but ended too short cuz i had to pee. =[ oh well.

Anyways, i just thought i'd quickly update because its been a good long while. I need to post some more pics too. I'll get better at this. i promise.

Work Work Work

2008-08-11T07:18:00.000-07:00

So today i start my new job at Royal Learners day care...and if you have yet to hear this place is just a beautiful preschool! If you've seen the movie, picture the first daycare the family goes to to look at. The one that is all dark wood inside and really strict. Well take out the really strict scary part and thats what this school looked liked! I'm excited.

My friend Caylynn is the one that got me the job and she has just been so sweet. She told me she talked to the owner, heather, and heather told her i'll probably be with the 4yr olds! something i didnt expect to get to soon! I'm so excited for today. Caylynn also went on to tell me the 4yr old teachers are just hilarious. Which is great because i've been needing some hilarity in my life. Especially since Aunt Aileen and Uncle Tim are gone now. =[ sad day.

Anyways, i'll let you all know how it went when i got home today.

I love you all.

Happy Day

2008-08-08T20:19:00.000-07:00

So my sister turned me into a little clone of herself. She got me hooked on entering contests! So i spent a bunch of time filling out all the entry forms, losing most of the instant win sweepstakes and what not.
Anyways, it made my day when i click the spin button on this one contest and three matching logos lined up...i won a Nike Laptop bag! haha.

anyways, jst a moment that made my day today =]

We're Home

2008-08-06T21:40:00.000-07:00

We're back from Disney. call us weird, we don't mind. We had a blast with Mom, Dad, Annie, Reid, William, Aunt Aileen, Uncle Tim, and Nate.

It was relaxing because we were able to spend time with them if we wanted, or we could go explore on our own. It was especially fun because it was Fish's first time to Disney World. We got annual passes so we can go back soon ;)

Our Wedding day was absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect, stressfree and spiritual wedding day. I loved having my family there. The simple, intimate dinner was more than i could have ever asked for. =]

i dont have too much to say tonight because we just got back from florida and im exhausted. I'll have to write more later.
