I am aware that I haven't been so great at blogging and I am reminded of it quite a bit..thanks Mom and Cara! :) This might be a little boring, but it's all I got! :)
I am extremely behind. On the 7th... last weekend we had a birthday party for my Dad's 50th birthday. I am sure that you have all already seen the pictures on Cara and Alyssa's blogs, but I will post them again on mine. He was super surprised and had fun. I suck at bowling, but what do you expect when you haven't been in a very long time? I made the wonderful cake. I didn't dare cut the 5 without Brandon's help afraid that it would end up looking nothing like a 5! :) We did it together, although Brandon was quite proud of himself and struttin' his stuff when it turned out good! :) It melted a little on the way there, but from what I was told was pretty tasty. I couldn't eat any.. I must have had too much of the scraps from cutting it earlier! :) And.. we put on 52 candles instead of 50! Whoops! We counted wrong! Oh well.. past a certain number it doesn't matter anyway, right?
I had Tuesday off of work for Veterans day. It is a really random day to have off, but I will take it! I ran errands and got stuff ready to start a Christmas project, which I am still trying to get stuff together to start it! :) Why do I do this to myself? :)
Work has been insanely busy. It gets that way when it starts to get cold and around Christmas when everyone has spent all their money on Christmas, so it is just going to get worse! They keep trying new things and make us even busier, but I guess I like to be challenged and have something to do so it is a good thing..except for when the computers go all funky! :) I really am so grateful to have such a great job!
My cousin, who is a personal trainer, recommended this to my sister (why she needs it.. not quite sure) to try. She told me about it and I decided to give it a try.. 30 days... heck ya! I have been doing it 3 times a week with my regular workout and I can finally see a change!! Thanks Kellie! I haven't lost a pound, but my pants fit better and my love handles are almost gone! I am hoping that the pounds will start to come off soon! So for any of you who are looking for a good DVD to tone up and maybe lose some weight..TRY THIS!! I found it on deepdiscountdvd.com for like 11.00 and free shipping!
Brandon has been so busy working on his doctorate project and stressed out as can be. I don't think I have ever seen him stressed! Poor kid, but hey.. I told him during the summer when he wasn't doing anything to start working on it! He wouldn't listen. He has almost got it done and the professor helping him thinks that they can get it published into health journals.. or whatever they are called! I don't understand it enough to proofread it! :) He only has a few more weeks of school for this semester, which will be his LAST semester of course work. WOW!! That feels so good to say!!! I thought we would never be here! He has two internships in the spring.. one in Logan and one here in SLC and then he is DONE and will have his doctorate!!!!! I am so proud of him for all the hard work he has put into his school and how well he has done!! I know I could never do what he has done! HOORAY!!! Hopefully I can make it 5 more months! We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to first of all, allow Brandon to be a part of this program and second, to stay in state and stay close to family through it all!
We went and saw the new Bond movie.
Brandon loves the Bond movies and owns ALL of them ever made. I still can't follow it, but we made a deal if I went to that with him... he would go to Twilight with me next week! :)
Pretty fair trade, I think, except for Twilight will be much better!
This weekend we worked on a bunch of projects. I borrowed my Dad's hand sander to sand wood for my project. Brandon was so good to come out in the cold and help me. We had to sit outside the back of our apartments. We got a few bad looks out the windows, because it was so loud, but I didn't really care! About 20 minutes into the project..the sander busted!! Sorry Dad! DANG IT! I hate leaving unfinished stuff! Then Brandon started on our bathroom project. Our tub/shower is so dang annoying. Every time we take a shower, it leaks about a gallon of water out onto our floor getting it, the rug, and our shelf thing ALL WET and nasty. We had the maintenance people come fix it, but it seemed to just make it worse. We decided to take matters into our own hands and do the job RIGHT by adding the splash guards where they needed to go and resealing around the bottom with CLEAR silicone instead of weird white glue stuff that grew mold! I know.. super nasty!! Hopefully we have the problem solved now! I guess the people that lived here before us, put up a new back in the shower and our apartment is the only one that has this! LUCKY US!
We ended our week getting numerous medical bills that we were not expecting. We still aren't quite sure where we are getting the money for that and for our $1200.00 car problem that HAD to be fixed! Anyone have a really rich uncle that we could adopt? :) I guess that it will be an easy Christmas this year.. a fixed 2000 Toyota Camry and a healthy body without a gallbladder! :) I am going to tie a big red bow on our car and around Brandon on Christmas morning!

YEA! that is a great post! i loved it! i love the pictures of brandon bowlng! they were excellent! If you would just be patience sis i would help with the christmas project! :)
My kitchen table has had several half finished christmas projects for at least 3 weeks. Pathetic I know. One of these days I will get up the energy to finish them.
How fun, you did a great job on the cake. I am so excited for you guys that Brandon will be done with school. Do you want to stay in Salt Lake or where do you want to live? Eureka is a great place, you should pray about it. Hee Hee
I was so excited that you posted, not that I can complain, because I haven't posted forever! I am so jealous that you only have 5 more months! I only have two years and 5more months! :) I think I am going to look into that DVD too. I just need someone to come and kick my butt out of bed so I can excercise! :)
