Here is a tribute to breaks!

I want to just say how nice it was to have Labor Day. We just chilled on Friday night and then met our new neighbors who were in our ward before. I think we found some fun new friends! Then on Saturday we went to the cabin and stayed until last night. It was so fun fishing, sleeping, eating, going to church (they are a different breed in Fairview but so nice) and listening to the half our testimony of a woman and using a hymn book to prop up a head that was sleeping were just a few of the sights. It was so nice. Back to classes and especially late tonight because of my work class that I have to go to until 9:30pm but I really do love school sometimes it just seems long. I am really excited though because I have met a lot of new people this semester and super fun people. Oh yes one last thing my cute husband has his first intramural football game tomorrow night which I am so excited for! I know we are married and people think we should just being with each other and not hang out with other people (I guess that is what most people think that married people only do those things and they get boring) but not us! Jake is very perticular on us being young and still keeping in touch and so this is another way of doing that. It really is fun especially because a lot of our friends are married now but we aren't old and we still have a good time! I love being young I am not going to lie!

Swiss Days and the start to my Labor Day Weekend!

I have the best mother in law ever...So here is the story. Missy and Teri were going to Swiss Days with the girls but of course I had work and then a class at one so I couldn't go with everyone but my mother in law called me and said that if I drove up she would go with me later in the day also. So today I called her after class and after 5 hours of being up there already she met me to go again. I was so excited to go but afterwards (2 hrs.) I was so exhausted because I left for work at 6:30am. The next thing I have to show is my new picture that I bought. I have wanted a big panoramic picture of the Manti Temple but due to money restraints and not much space I found a really nice one for a lot cheaper and smaller. I got it for 20 bucks! I was so excited. They had so many cute things. Oh and for those of you who don't know Swiss Days is like a big swapmeet (but nice) or farmers market (without the farmer part) in Midway, Ut up by my sister in laws house. I have gone there since I was a kid but I haven't been in a while so it was so nice to go.

CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!

So here is the deal I had my schedule all figured out and I was taking Calculus I because intro to Calc wouldn't fit into my schedule. I kept wondering why the heck I should take this for my major....after almost a week of class I felt so lost and super stressed. I got some of the concepts but I kept thinking why should I have to take this. Talking to some people they thought the same thing...what do you know...I don't have to! I talked to a teacher who teaches the lower level and she said that I could take stats instead which will be so much easier. Well tonight is my first class so wish me luck! Then I got a call about an hour after talking to the Math 119 teacher and I accidentally grabbed her planner! It is the basic BYU planner so it was obvious why I did. She found my name from my class role and by looking at my picture which has changed because I had long hair and today I had it up. For some reason the number on my profile was Jake's so she called Jake. Low and behold I got it back to her and I am signed up for my new class. Jake got a kick out of it! He said that it made his day so I guess it was worth it!

End of Summer 2009

Jake and I


my first time wakeboarding!


So we just got back from our final kick off of the summer...Lake Powell. Well actually this was our one big kick off to and after the summer. We had so much fun. We went and stayed on a house boat with the Tolds. It was Josh, Sha, Dave, Belinda, Hannah, Jake, and I. I also went wakeboarding for the first time and it was a blast but man am I sore. I went kneeboarding and extreme tubing too. I just wished I could have skiied maybe. Oh my gosh was it fun! Well school starts tomorrow. I may sound like a chicken but I am super freaked out. I feel like a little kid going to the first day of middle school. It is probably because I had a little hiatus from BYU so it will be interesting to get back into it. I am excited because my boss is working with my schedule though. It will be so nice. Jake finishes his internship the middle of September and he has loved it. I am so glad he did it because he likes it but he has realized that it isn't always about the money but about loving what you do. I don't think he will work for a big corporation again even if they do offer him a lot of money. I am very proud of him. I am just glad that he has more strength and he will be providing for our family because I would have a really hard time if I made a lot more money and choosing what I really love instead of money. Oh yes and we just got internet hooked up so there might for me to say lately.

Pictures of the last couple of months!

Here are just some random pictures that I have taken. It has been a while!


Race for a Cure-May 2009

The Whole Clan in Salt Lake City


I kept telling Jake that we needed to take pictures of our place in Logan and just whenever to show our kids. These were from all of our "dates" in Logan or should we say Jake had to go to plays and concerts for his class so I went and we called it a date. Hey that is what happens when you are poor college students. It really was a blast.


Once again Jake with his crazy faces. I wonder if some of them he means to?!



For all of you who get grossed out close your eyes for this one. We just found this picture of Jake's back from his surgery last August. It has been almost one year of recovery. Yahoo!He is doing great and it is crazy to see the difference of his scar. You can hardly see it...but part of that may be because of all the hair! Don't tell him I said that. Just kidding it isn't that bad!



Well I believe that is all. We will keep posting. This week is shopping in Park City, family dinner, and family moving from California. Crazy week!

Life in the Pynes

Well this has been such a fun and crazy summer. We have gone to the cabin a couple of times and more to come. I also ditched Jake to go to California for my cousins wedding. We have had to buy a new washer and dryer and air conditioner but we are set for a while. We are saving our money for the next school year because who knows what this next year holds. Also we found this cute little house that we want by Jeremys that I know we can't afford and even if we could Jake says we can't buy it because it is in Provo (even though it is only 3 streets away from us now). We just are happy to be where we are today in our cute little apartment that we are all the way settled into. It has given me more space to do crafts and Jake to do his music. Well that is about it for now. I was putting on pictures this morning but then I realized I brought the wrong cord...hey at least I tried. Hope all is well for the rest of you. We are doing well and loving life in the Pynes!

YAY!

Good news Jake started his new internship! He is really liking it even though it is just training and stuff for now. Oh and I just got back from California from my cousins wedding it was such a blast. We went to the beach and ate lots of good food...aka In-n-Out! Then we stopped in Vegas and did some shopping. Got some great deals at the swapmeet too! Oh boy do I love swapmeets. Well that is just a little update. Now I am off to go to work and the fireworks tonight...and the cabin tomorrow!
