I am happy to let everyone know that I have survived being alone for the past week and a half!! Except for the weekend when Brandon came home! :) I definately don't like it, but I am doing it! It is hard to not have anyone to come home to and to be alone when you are so used to having someone else there all the time, but I try to keep myself busy so I don't think about it! I am feeling a little bit more independent! I am not sure if I like it or not! :)
One night I heard noises in my wall. It sounded like someone was in the attic. It freaked me out, so I called Brandon. We decided that it was a bird that got in the attic and was trying to get out! It kept me up ALL night! I was so mad! That was only the beginning! There are birds stuck in just about every wall possible! They aren't as loud as that one was, but they are still annoying! I feel bad and wish I could get them out, but I can't!! They somehow get in through the small holes in the siding and then can't figure out how to get out! :) Kind of funny!
I am planning on going up to Idaho for the weekend. I am so excited to see Brandon! I talk to him all the time, but it is not the same! I have every other Friday off from now till the end of June to go see Brandon.
Brandon did excellent in his classes! I am so dang proud of him!! He is amazing!
Well, I guess that is it for now! :) I hope that everyone is doing well!

saying goodbye
Guess it is time for a new post!
We never really have exciting news like everyone else!!
Brandon finally finished with his finals (6 of them) and was so relieved to be done.
He was so drained mentally, physically, emotionally! I felt so bad for him! He got all rested up and we headed for Brigham on Friday. We were so excited to get to go see Spiderman 3! It was okay.. not the best, but okay! Cara thinks that Brandon looks so much like Toby/spiderman that it is scary! :) I think that is funny!
On saturday we tried to spend as much time as possible together before Brandon had to leave to Idaho. Kind of hard when you have 3 kids to watch while making cookies, grocery shopping and doing other errands! Wow! Kids are a handful, but they sure are cute!
Brandon left for Idaho on Saturday evening. Yes, I did cry (a couple times.) It was so hard to say goodbye! IT SUCKS! I act like he is going forever and I won't see him for the whole 10 weeks! I am just so used to him always being there! He starts his internship today and is really excited about it! I am excited for him!
We have worked out a plan to switch off the weekends. I have some time to take off, so I have taken every other Friday off so I can go up there with him!! We talk constantly! I already miss him so much and it has only been 2 days! We will see how the driving thing works out! If anyone needs a road trip I am all for some driving company! :)
I stayed with my parents till sunday night and went home. It is so weird to go home without Brandon. I was not excited to spend the night alone, but I checked all the closets and places that a boogey man can hide, made sure I had my phone and a flashlight and went to bed and SURPRISE, I was fine!! I know that I can do it, it just sucks! I hope that it will make me stronger and I will surprise myself. Also, that it will make our love stronger.. Okay, I am done with the cheesy stuff! :)
We found out that Brandon's tuition for this semester is half of what we thought! What a relief!! I can breathe now! :)
I hope that everything is good for everyone!

Finals and work!
I never really have anything exciting to post!! We just keep to our same old routine stuff, although Brandon is finishing up with his finals. i think that he had a total of 6 finals! Poor guy! He is almost done though! I have to brag for a minute.. he so far has gotten straight A's in 3 of his classes--one of those being a 5 credit neuroanatomy
class!! I couldn't be more proud of him!! He hasn't found out his other grades yet, but I am sure they are great, because all he does is studies!
He is glad to have a 3 day break before he heads to Idaho Falls to start his internship. It is less than a week away and I think that I will have an emotional breakdown when he leaves! I know it isn't that far and it is ridiculous that I am acting this way. It is amazing how much you become dependant on each other! We did it last summer so I know that we can do it again.. .it just is not any fun! I would rather him get his out of state internship done though!! We will just be spending lots of money on gas back and forth! Good thing that Brandon's tuition for summer is half of what we thought! :)I have time off that I have to use before July, so I might take a long trip and go stay with him!
Work is still good! I am still not sure when I will start working from home! They say it could be 2 weeks or 2 months! They aren't really sure! That will be nice to be able to work in my jammies if I want! I am most excited about being able to work out in the morning! I think that might be why I cannot seem to loose ANY weight! I work out every day (or atleast 4 times/wk) for atleast an hour since January and haven't lost a pound! I am even eating better! AGH!!! So Dang frusterating! Oh well... guess I am not supposed to be skinny in my life! :)
P.S. sorry we never have pictures.. we are horrible and never take any! :)
Hope that everyone is doing good!!

Another week past!
Hey everyone!! It is time again for the weekly post. Usually I wait to do it on Monday morning at work, but I am waiting for Brandon to get home from his elders quorum meeting that is going way over time and I am getting bored, so I decided to just go ahead and write anyway.
I have finally posted our easter pictures. The together one is not so good.. but that is the best we could get with Brandon holding the camera out! :)
This week totally flew by!! Hey, I am not complaining! The faster the better at this point until school is over!
I have good news! We finally have a second car so we get some of our freedom back! Brandon's dad bought a new truck, so Brandon gets to drive his old one until we get to buy my dad's car. it is a 92 brown ford ranger, but in excellent condition. Probably not the best lookin thing, but who cares at this point! We are just very grateful to have another car!! It has as many miles as our 2000 Camry!! (70000).
I am really starting to dread Brandon leaving! It is like 3 more weeks and he will be going!! I think he is really excited about going to do his internship.. so I need to grow up and let him go! We are probably going to be planning a camp-out up there in Driggs/Idaho sometime. If anyone is interested.. you are welcome to come.. it isn't too far from my grandparents.. so we will have showers close by! We can totally make it fun!!
OH!! Did you guys all see the she cop on the news with the Walmart incident? That was the one that pulled us over! Very rude!

Happy Easter!!
It is time for the weekly post. We had a fun weekend. The weekdays are pretty boring. Brandon just studies and I try to keep my time occupied!! It is a good thing there are some good shows on tv every once and awhile!! I need to get back into scrapbooking and get those finished! It is just so expensive and I don't have money to be expensive right now! :)
We had a fun weekend! It started out by going to the temple on Friday night. We did initiatories. I love doing those. The little old lady was so cute when I was finished.. she said "Now you have 5 new friends". I thought that was so cute and I have never really thought of it that way!!
We went home and Brandon and I colored easter eggs! That was fun and gave us good practice for the kids in a couple years! We took pictures and I will try to post them later tonight. I am at work right now and can't do that here. Of course Brandon had to do a Utah State one! :)
On Saturday we went home to Brigham to hang out with the fam! Brandon spent all morning making our car shine.. he cleaned inside (armor all and vacumn) then he washed it and then waxed it!! He worked hard on it and it paid off---it looks GREAT!!
We had a BBQ at my parents with the fam. It was lots of fun! Then the annual easter egg hunt! It was so much fun to watch the kids find the eggs! Tegunn was bound and determined to find all the eggs. Trey just wanted all the candy. And Hadlee was so fun to watch grab the eggs and get them into her basket!! :)
My Dad bought a 4-wheeler (and has my grandpa's and uncles there too), so we decided to go on a 4-wheeler ride. we rode them down to lyss and greg's and boy was that a mistake! We got pulled over by an ornery she cop!! Man, I think she had a hard time getting into those nice cop pants that they wear, so she was having a bad day. She was not being very nice! She gave us warnings, but hadlee did not have a helmet so they got a ticket (which is totally understandable), but she did not have to be so dang rude. It turned into quite the ordeal!! She was not nice!! I guess it is STATE LAW that you can't ride on the streets and if you want to take it on trails.. you have to take it there on a trailer.. since we live .25 miles from the beginning of the trail! How dumb!! Because "perry is becoming a city, not farm country!" CRAZY!! Then Dad got mad and told us no more 4 wheelers for a couple days! :(
The rest of the day we pretty much hung out.. it was fun to be at home.
Easter morning we went to church, then got out our easter baskets!! I got some shirts and a cute notepad.. Brandon got some new socks and the new james bond movie and of course lots of candy!! We have to do easter for each other since I don't have kids to buy fun stuff for! :)
It was a great weekend.. too bad we have to start another week, but it is okay.. the more weeks that go by.. the faster Brandon is done with school! :)
I hope that everyone is doing okay.. I better get to work!

Hey everyone!! I just thought I would do a weekly posting. Nothing ever changes, but I will try to update as much as I can! :)
We had a great week. I had my first Saturday off in a long time and Brandon had to do a weekend class. Doesn't it always seem to work that way? :) I just enjoyed the day. I did my daily workout and then cleaned my entire house while listening to conference! I love that Pres. Hinkley! He is such an amazing man and I am so grateful to be a member of the true church! What a blessing it has been to Brandon and I!
Brandon is looking forward to being done in a couple weeks, although he has about a 4 day break and then he heads for Driggs/Idaho Falls for his 10 week internship. It makes me sick to think about what I am going to do when he is gone! I am glad I have family not too far!! We also have to figure out a plan with one car! We either have to find a car to buy (with no money) or borrow the big beastly truck from my parents untill we can afford to get another car, although I think that I will be able to work from home, so it won't be so bad to have the truck!
I am still enjoying my job and looking forward to my 3.00 raise and working at home in the next couple months! We are merging with the department of health so from now untill july we get to learn a bunch of new stuff! I am excited to be able to learn more but scared also! :) It shouldn't be too bad!
