Funny Things

So, I absolutely love anything cute. I was reading one of my friend's blog and it was about cute rats. Which reminded me of this website I saw on a television at a hospital this week. I remembered that I texted Taylor to remind me to look at the website when I got home, but of course I forgot.

Its called www.cutethingsfallingasleep.org

It really has some of the cutest videos of cute animals or babies falling asleep. I think I spent like 20 minutes watching videos of cute animals falling asleep.

Here is a taste of what awaits you...



And...



And this one has nothing to do with sleeping, but it is so darn cute!

All is well

So, the first good news I have to report is that I finally have a job! Thank goodness. Taylor and I are really grateful and happy that we finally got a job. I had a total of four interviews, but this one pulled through and I think its one that actually fits me the best. I am really glad. I don't start for a few more weeks, but I don't really mind too much. This means I can still play with Aaron (my nephew) on the days my brother needs a sitter and read lots and lots of books. Taylor is still doing school and he likes it, but he is quickly tiring of the long drive. I suggested that we could move to Stephenville, but I guess he doesn't mind the drive too much, because he said he didn't want to do that. We are happy with where we are now. We see our families often and we really enjoy that. Our next trip will be back to Utah! We're going to our friends Drew and Allyson's temple wedding in May and we're excited to see old friends again. So, until I have a funny story to tell...that's all she wrote!

Waking up from Laziness!

I cannot believe it has been close to three months since our last blog post. I cannot call myself a blogger. Well, we moved from Utah after I graduated and we are now back in Texas. And I have to say the weather has been an appreciated change. Just in the past two days the area was in the 80's! Although, today it is in the 50's, but its just the fact that I CAN have days like that instead of it perpetually being cold until May. Anyway, we do have a lot of pictures to post up and adventures to blog about. I don't know why I haven't been keeping up with this, but I promise we will be better! As far as updates, Taylor is going to Tarleton with a double major in bio-chem and animal science (he still plans on becoming a vet) and he is working again at First Command in tax services for the time being. It really is a great blessing because they were willing to work around his crazy school schedule. I am looking for a job and hoping to find one soon. At least we have money to pay our bills now, but we need money to save for things too. And to buy new clothes. Taylor and I have both mentioned the lack of work clothes we have. Anyway, I will be back to post pictures of our trip to Lake Texoma and other funny things that have happened to us. Anyway, until then!

More Pictures of the Weekend!

On Saturday we got a lot of snow. It was pretty and I'm glad its just happening right before we leave. I think I would get tired of it if I had to deal with it for more than a week. If you notice how I am bundled up in a down coat and fleece lined mittens while Taylor is not even wearing a jacket. Yep, we couldn't be more opposite when it comes to temperature. Anyway, here are some more pictures!

Adventures we sometimes wish didn't happen to us

Friday evening came and I bought tickets to see The Day the Earth Stood Still at the IMAX theater about 40 minutes away. The ticket time was for 10:30 pm so we had pretty much the entire evening to do other stuff. We went to a Chinese buffet that was actually the best we've had since we've been here. Too bad we discovered it a little too late. After the buffet we realized we had about two and a half hours to burn. We decided to head across the highway to see the lights at Thanksgiving Point. After trying to figure out how to enter the place in the first place we found the entry point. Unfortunately, for one car it was $7.00! Uh...I am not paying $7.00 to see lights. They didn't even look incredibly spectacular. That is almost the price of a movie ticket. That is about 6 movie tickets at the dollar theater. So, we decided against it. At this time we thought we would have enough time to go to Temple Square and see the lights. It was incredibly crowded! A Mormon Tabernacle Performance had just ended. We were still able to see all the beautiful lights. We took some pictures, but they came out kind of blurry. Anyway, we left in a hurry so we wouldn't be late and arrived at the theater barely in time. BUT! It was the wrong one! Anyway, we decided to see it the next day. Anyway, here are some pictures!

Taylor is 23!

Happy Birthday to Taylor!! He still had to go to work, but in the evening we went to Chili's. I told the waitress it was his birthday and he got a free dessert in a shot glass. They didn't sing to him and I think he was really glad they didn't. I went shopping with my friend Allyson for Taylor earlier in the afternoon. And I bought him a really nice, soft sweater and a nice t-shirt. Taylor says I'm trying to change him, but I say I'm just trying to improve him. haha just kidding. Anyway, here are a few pictures from our evening. Sorry if you don't like kissy photos, but I thought Taylor's face was really cute. Also, I couldn't get Taylor to stand up for a photo of him in his new clothes. He only let me take one of him laying down, but I hope you get the picture. :)

Where'd we go?

Okay, so Taylor and I didn't go to San Diego. But we did end up going to Montana. Taylor was invited by one of his old mission buddies to go hunting. I didn't really want to stay by myself so I went too. I just kind of hung out in the hotel room. Taylor, unfortunately, didn't get anything. But it was still neat to travel through Idaho and Montana. It was both of our first times up there. We have a few pictures, but they're mostly on the road home. It really wasn't too cold. But we had fun.
