17 Days

Alright, so as you can probably tell by the little countdown on our blog page, I graduate in 17 days, and this semester has been more work than any other semester in my 5 years (I know it should have been 4) years of college. It is INSANE, but I am starting to wind down with assignments and rev up for finals. I am trying really hard to stay motivated and not to think about the trip we are going on a week after graduation, but it is rough. Let me tell you, if I thought I had bad senioritis in high school, this is ten times worse!

Anyway, I took a ton of pictures of our new place, because I keep having people ask me about it, and lets be honest, I totally love it! However, they are on my computer at home, and I am currently at work, so I will have to post them next time I am on the home computer.

So, I got this tag from Amber, so I figured I would give it a shot.

My Love and I
Where did you go on your first date?
Well after Jeff blew me off, (not once, not twice, but three times), we finally went and had dinner at Diego's Taco Shop in Provo and then we went to go work at the UVSC Western Dance

How long have you been together?
We have been married for a year next month, and we dated for 8 months before we got married

Who eats more?
Easy... Jeff

Who said I love you first?
I think I did, but it was kind of a mutual thing

Who is taller?
Depends on what shoes I am wearing... but technically Jeff by like 1 inch.

Who sings better?
I don't know... we never sing.

Who does the laundry?
Jeff, only because he runs out of clothes way faster than I do.

Who pays the bills?
ME!

Who mows the lawn?
We are putting in our yard right now, so once its done Jeff will for sure

Who cooks dinner?
Wendy's... No, I enjoy cooking when I have time, but if its BBQ, it is Jeff

Who drives when you are together?
Jeff, I hate driving

Who is more stubborn?
That is a toss up, we are both pretty stubborn

Whose parents do you see the most?
Probably Jeff's since they live closer, especially since my family just moved to Washington.

Who kissed who first?
Jeff kissed me first.

Who proposed?
Jeff

Who is more sensitive?
That would be me... I don't know if Jeff has a sensitive bone in his body. Just kidding, he has gotten a lot better, but I guess that is what happens when you grow up with all brothers.

Who has more friends?
I hope Jeff, because I don't have many anymore

Who wears the pants in the family?
We both do on different things.

Lets see... I tag Kara, and Stephanie (Mostly because Amber already tagged Annie, but I second that tag)

Midterms & Elections

Wow, February just slipped away from me before I even knew it! We are now into March and I can't even seem to catch my breath we are so busy. Midterms are finally wrapping up, and you would think that after five years of college I would be able to handle midterms, but this semester was brutal! Also, Jeff is currently in the middle of running of Executive Vice President of UVUSA. It is a little bit of deja vu for me, but I am really excited and proud of him. We are in the thick of things and will find out tomorrow night the results. Yesterday was Jeff's 25th birthday, and I can't wait until all this is over so we can finally celebrate! We also got a new camera, and as soon as I figure out how to upload the pictures I will post some more :)

Valentine's Day

I warned everyone that I might not be very good at keeping this thing up to date, but that is mostly because #1 - we don't have much going on in our lives right now, and #2 - we don't have a workable camera that isn't part of a cell phone. This makes it hard to document our lives at the moment. However, I do have to tell everyone about my fantastic Valentine's morning. So Jeff and I decided that we had a $10 limit for Valentine's this year, this pretty much limited what we could get each other to a card and a candy bar. Well I went to bed last night after I had reaffirmed with Jeff that he had not spent more than his limit. He assured me that he hadn't done "much" for today. Well I woke up this morning and I could see a red note taped to our bedroom door, so I got a little suspicious. I crawled out of bed (late of course) and started to walk down the hall towards to kitchen. The whole entire apartment was covered in paper hearts, each one he had written on it some reason why he loved me. It honestly takes a lot to surprise me, but man he did a good job this morning. He would kill me if he knew I was posting these pictures and telling this story, but he is just such an amazing husband! Anyway, I am hoping that is the extent of his Valentine's Day because it is already leaving me looking incredible inadequate with my card and my candy bar, but knowing Jeff I am sure this is not over yet...




These are the hearts all over my house... taken with my cell phone, so they are not that great

And in case anyone was wondering about my tulips, this is what they look like now... after only two weeks and in the middle of winter :)

Tulips

So I was at Costco on Monday and I noticed that they had something called Long Life Tulips that are made to grow inside. I was really excited, because since I don't currently have any place to plant flowers, and everywhere I look is covered with snow it might be fun to have a piece of early spring. So I bought them hoping that maybe this time I can keep them alive. I currently have them sitting on my desk at work, but once we move I will take them home and put them on a table somewhere, if they are still alive. I just thought I would post a picture of how fast they are growing. When I bought them on Monday they were simply bulbs floating in water, now they are several inches tall. At this rate they should be in full bloom in a few weeks!






This is what mine look like now, after three days

This is what they are supposed to look like in 28 - 36 days:

Crazy Snow!

So for those of you who no longer reside in Utah, today is one day when I am jealous. We have been hearing rumors of a big snow storm that is supposed to visit us anyday, and today it came. Wow, its crazy!! I was almost blown over just walking from my office to the car for lunch. All in all I guess it is a good thing so we can have some moisture this summer, but it is still really annoying for those of us who have to commute to work.

Just a side note, only 46 days until we get to move into our new place. I can hardly wait, once we get a better camera I will have to post pictures. :)

Lets try this out...

So, I was noticing today that I often check the blogs of friends of ours that have moved away, so I know all about what is going on in their lives, but I am really bad at keeping people updated about our lives... So, to attempt to remedy that problem I have decided to try this blog idea. I warn you that our lives aren't super exciting, but I will do my best :)
