Sicky!

Today I am miserable. I hate being sick during the summer but I am! I didn't sleep well last night because I was up blowing my nose or trying to pop my ear or thinking how nice it would be to swallow without a sore throat. This started on Sunday and I wondered at first if it had anything to do with the amazing sunburn I got on Saturday but then it wouldn't go away Monday and so I started to take it as allergies due to the spring but medicine didn't help clear my nose away at all and so now I know that I am sick. I don't want to eat because it hurts, I don't want to swallow because it reminds me of my ear and I don't have that much energy which is why I am skipping my gym classes today. i am okay with that though.

On another note I have some great news! We have had my green car and our red car. During February sometime the green car stopped working. We had no idea why it stopped working but it did. The lights would turn on and the car would turn over but it would never catch. We chalked it up to some mysterious reason that Chris and i would never figure out without the help of someone who knew cars. Jennifer and crew are coming next Monday and we are going to let them borrow a car while they are here so that they don't have to worry about renting a car and so we had to get the green car fixed. Now mind you, it has been sitting in the best spot in our parking lot for over 2 months. We have no idea what is wrong with it and we don't want to pay the towing fee to get it to a mechanic but we will have to. I figured that we should at least try jumping the car to see if maybe it would work now so our friend Tyler came over with his cables and jumped it for us. And voila! It worked! It was amazing! We had no idea that the battery was dead the whole time. We figured it was something else since the car would turn on but not start. The best part is that we now have a car for Jennifer and kids to use as well as a spare and we potentially saved hundreds of dollars by not taking it to a shop to get fixed.

And with that happy story I will close. I still don't feel tip top after the 15 minutes it took me to write that so I am going to go lay down so my ear stops telling me that it wants to pop even though it won't. Have a great week!

Another Lazy Day

This is my last semester and I only actually have one class that I had to take. I would have taken it last semester but I think if I had taken it I would have done worse in my other two classes. Not to mention I really really really don't like the teacher who was teaching the class that fit in my schedule. So I put off graduation for another semester, which is okay because now Chris and I will graduate at the same time. The only problem with this arrangement is that I frequently have a lot of spare time on my hands that I don't know what to do with! Chris works and does homework like the good husband/student that he is but I never have homework really and so I sit around a lot! To combat the laziness I am actually enrolled in 3 gym classes as well: swimming, water aerobics and weight training. Those only take up 6 hours a week though and that leaves me with a lot of time on my hands.

Tonight for my entertainment I went to my sisters' blogs and was seeing what wonderful families they have and I decided that I want people to see what a wonderful family I have! Granted, it is a little harder when there are only two of us, but we do things as well! Last week we went to "The Entertainer". He was this amazingly funny guy who sings and acts but the whole time he is impersonating other people! Chris' favorite part was when the guy sang the oldies "Sheri, Sheri baby She-e-e-riiii". Chris was singing the song for the next few days, not as well as the performer, but he was singing it.

We have been waiting for summer to finally come around and we think spring has finally set in so now we wait for the warm days of summer! It continually snows here and the mornings are still really cold so when we go to the car at 7:30 in the mornings there is ice on the windows. Once it warms up we will be able to go play at the park, ride our bikes, go hiking and maybe even go camping. I really want to go camping but Chris doesn't seem all that enthusiastic about it. Maybe someday when we are rich (we plan to be millionaires by 40) we can afford all the nice camping equipment that makes camping easy and then he will look forward to it! Until then, I guess I just have to live with hiking.

We are currently planning on moving at the end of the summer. We both graduate in July, me with my degree in biology and Chris with his degree in computer science. Chris doesn't have a job lined up yet but he is going to start applying soon to companies in Louisville! Colorado though, not Kentucky and apparently when you say Louis it actually sounds like Lewis. When we decided that we didn't want to stay in Rexburg after all we looked up good places to live and Louisville satisfied us both, rather than satisfying one or the other, which is why we aren't moving to Alaska for me or Maryland for him! Someday I might be able to convince him otherwise but I think it will take a few years.

Once I figure out how to do everything on this site I will probably post pictures of us recently and maybe do some of the fun post-things that Jennifer and Bethany do. I hope to hear about all of your lives!
