Dumb Post but it's a Post!!

When life doesn't give you a lot of things to post you just have to take what you can get. Since school has started it has been rather busy. Nick will be finishing his CNA class next week and we both will be glad it is over. This last week he hasn't been home before 9:00p.m. every night! As much as I hated the humidity in Oklahoma, I am having withdrawals from my sister and her kids and the reason is probably because I know my mom is hanging out with them right now! Well the latest for us is nothing too exciting but I did redo an old dresser! I see all these talented people take something crappy looking and make it look so good so I thought I'd give it a try. It was definitely a learning experience but I am happy how it turned out for my very first project like that! Hopefully here in the next little bit I will be able to have something that is worth posting and worth for you 2 people out there to read. For now, this it what you get!

Latest...

I won't make this a super long post about having the opportunity of going to the Twin Falls temple open house since almost everyone I know in Idaho has already been but it was a neat experience and it was so nice having at least half of my family there. We also celebrated my neice's (Kira) birthday after and went to a park and had good food and cake! The following weekend we went to Idaho again for good ole fair week! I love fair and you know you'll probably see almost everyone you know there. It was fun and it was good to see some old friends and catch up with them. I didn't take any pictures from fair because usually if you've been once you know what its like and it doesn't change much from year to year! Now we are just getting ready for school to start...for Nick that is! It is going to be very weird for me not interacting with students and people my age all day. I have been going to school all my life and it will definitely be an adjustment! Nick keeps telling me I need to get a hobby so I'll have something to do while he has to do homework..So if you have any suggestions for a new hobby let me know!! (NOT SCRAPBOOKING..its just not my thing, not creative enough)



Girls only picture! Grandma, Mom holding Kira, Ericka, Lora, Me!
Caleb enjoyed Kiras birthday just as much as she did!! He had some fun with those party hats!


Me and Nick in front of the temple!

Oklahoma!

Well, I had the opportunity to go visit my sister and her kids in Oklahoma this past week. It was so fun to see her and her kids. I loved just being able to sit and talk with her. I hadn't see them since my wedding and it was so fun to play with the kids. They are amazing! Layla is all girl and loves to play dress up and house! Dillon is the most optimistic, energized, crazy kid. He is always trying to make sure everyone is happy. I can't believe how well mannered these kids are. They were always saying thank you to everything and please to everything. We went garage sale shopping one day and Lu bought a toy gun that was 50 cents and Dillon loved it and was so appreciative for it! I still am so amazed at how grown up they act! The humidity was definitely a new experience for me and I have to admit I am not a fan! Luckily we were in the pool the majority of the time. I had such a great time and wish we lived closer to each other so we could play more! I am glad to be back in the dry land and to see Nick. I am so glad I was able to spend some time with my sister. Thanks Lu and Doug!!

Baby Casen!!

Here are a few pictures from my sister's (Ericka) baby. He is one week old today and is doing great! I have had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time with the Coopers the last couple of days. It has been awhile since I've been around a newborn and from what I can tell he is a pretty good baby. Nick said this is his first time being around a newborn so he's practicing in the picture above! He has awhile to get practiced up too!! I'm glad Casen is doing so good since they are in the process of moving to Pocatello. I think I kind of forgot about them moving because we were all anxiously waiting for Casen to come! I'm really going to miss having a sister so close.

22 Days!

Okay, I know I am such a nerd for doing this but who cares! I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be at Borders to buy Breaking Dawn at midnight on August 1st! If anyone would like to join me in this crazy obsession with these books please come because I'm sure I'd enjoy it more if someone came with me! I think I almost had talked my mom into coming with me but I told her I would be staying up all through the night to read it. I haven't ever been a reader and probably won't ever get so obsessed with another book for the rest of my life so I figured it is okay to be this way once!

The Big One Year Anniversary!!

Well, on June 23, 2007 Nick and I were married in the Bountiful temple so it being a year ago Nick and I made it to our first anniversary!! I really do feel pretty old now being married for over a year! I can't believe how fast it has gone. Nick said that people always say that the first year is the hardest and if that is going to be our hardest we're pretty excited for the rest to come cuz it wasn't too shabby!! Nick surprised me and took me to Anniversary Inn which was so fun. We stayed in the Swiss Family Robinson room which was really cool. They are a little pricey but I definitely recommend it to anyone!! I really do appreciate Nick and all that he does for me. I truly can say that I did marry my best friend and although we may not always agree on some things I would not want to be with anyone else! Since being back from S.D. things have been fairly uneventful for us. Nick is taking a class and will start his CNA class this next week and he's working! It hasn't been one of those summers like in high school where every day you wake up wondering what you should do that day...go camping? boating? some kind of summer sport camp? no no..nothing like that anymore! The days are planned out for us so we have very little time to play but we do try to take advantage of every spare moment by going to play tennis or biking or something of the sort! We hope to make some time to enjoy this nice weather but we may just have to settle for looking out the windows of our cars while driving to work!! Life's great!!

This is just a shot of the room we stayed in! Ya that's a tree house thing!! Awesome!!

Trip of the Summer!!..so far!

Well lets not all make fun of my camo pants because the point of this post is to say thanks to my parents for taking me fishing this last weekend! I was fortunate enough to go home for the weekend and spend some quality time with them both. Nick had to study for a big test in his physiology class so he stayed here in Logan. It was kind of different because it felt like I was back in high school again where it was just us three hangin out! We hiked into Lake Cleveland because the road is still closed because of all the snow! That was an adventure! I can say with my dad's determination that wasn't the first time we have hiked in while it being covered in snow. We caught 9 fish between the 3 of us which is not the best for the amount but we had the entire lake to ourselves for almost the whole day! I had such a good time! Other big news is that I finally got a job which is going really well so far. I work at SOS Staffing which basically I help other people get jobs! I work with two guys who are LDS, married and fairly young so we all have a lot in common and they are really fun to work with. Nick and I are hoping to have a little time to spend camping this summer but other than that life just keeps ticking away!!

Back in Idaho/Utah!

Well, for those of you who haven't heard already. Nick and I are back in Logan working and going to school. Nick and I decided it was more important for him to get this physiology class and get his CNA this summer so it will increase his chances of getting into the Nursing program this winter. It has definitely been a crazy past week! We have been fortunate enough to have family here in Logan that has allowed us to live with them. Nick got his old job back and has started school. I am in the process of interviewing for a couple of jobs and hopefully I can get one soon. Along with being stressed to no end, I was able to go with Ericka and Darren to the good ol' Barrus family reunion. I had a blast seeing everyone and being able to catch up with those cousins I haven't seen in 2 years or more! I missed all of those who couldn't come. It was fairly cold but we still enjoyed spending time in the mountains.

This was at the talent show and this was pretty hilarious! I really enjoyed each person's part!













Ethan and Jasmine were playing some percussion instruments at the talent show!
