John's got a job!!!

Yahoo! John got a job at Macey's and this is his first day of work!!! He loves his new dress code ;) hahaha, and he practices "Hello, welcome to Macey's, how can i help you?" all the time ;). And if you ask him what color his shirt is, he'll tell you its celery, he works in produce.... I sure love him!

Fun Weekend!!!

This last weekend John's fam came for a visit! It was so fun to have them. His parents, Kristen, Braxton, Nolan and Jackson came Friday and stayed through Sunday. It was so much fun to have them and we're just so glad we have room for visitors!!! We went to Willow Park (Zoo), that was fun, John and his dad went golfing, us ladies had a fun saturday full of shopping while the boys took a walk and found snakes and stuff like that. They had fun and so did we!
Me and Braxton, and below is my favorite duck at the zoo, i juse think it's so funny looking with its huge head and all ;)
And here's papa V BBQ'n it was good and so much fun! Thanks for coming and everyone, feel free to come any time! We'd love to have you ;)

Beautiful fall!

We love the fall! We love going on rides in the mountains and we're so glad we have a motorcycle so we can! Its just beautiful and we're wishing we had more time to enjoy it. Life is busy with school and work, but its good and we're just so blessed to be going to school and to finally have Jobs! YAY, John works at Macey's and we're happy :)

I'm not obsessed either! Just curious, and i'm sure glad i wasn't a Bella, isn't she just obnoixous??? JK, but she really is and i was talking to somebody about why anyone likes these series when Bella is such a complainer and really kind of annoying, but this lady told me its because we each can relate to her so well, i think she was right. Anyway, Take the quiz! Kinda lame, but fun :)

Suprise!!!

I got home from school today and i found this!!! I was so excited!!! We now have GRASS!!!! We've had dirt since we moved here and so we're super excited about grass, anyway, this is the front of our house and this picture below I just put up because i just think he is so good looking ;)

Saturday fun!!!

Saturday was was such a fun day! It started out with John going to play tennis and i went on a walk/run with Emily, on my run i stareted noticing all these pretty flowers along the road so after John got home, me and him went for a ride and gathered flowers and other things, it was so fun and i just loved!!! my flowers :). After that, we went and played tennis, it was so fun and i'm getting better than i have been, i love tennis and we go play whenever we can.
John had also brought a soccer ball and a frisbee so we played for a little bit but i got distracted with the camera, i wish i was a photographer and could take really cool pictures, so i started having john pose, and here are some of the results :)....

On the way home he picked me even mores (Oh i love him) and when we got back, he learned how to play the song Grow old with you on his guitar and sang it to me, it was so sweet, except for the part when it says he'd do the "dishes in our kitchen sink", and then told me that that part didn't really apply to our situation.... looks like i get to keep doing them....
(P.S. John's all talk :), he does the dishes whenever i ask him to, and doesn't complain too much about it either ;) )

So i have this blank...

So i have this blank wall, its just above our table in our kitchen and i just want to do something with it because i'm sick of it....anyway, i'm asking for any ideas! I have this picture frames (below) and a mirror (also below) that i could use, but i'm sick of hanging up pictures of us so i'm looking for some great ideas from anybody out there of what i could put in the frames, or what i could do with my blank wall..... :)

We really have been having a good time, above is a picture of us on a walk we went on last Sunday, there's this beautiful river trail that we took and it was fun. Below is us in my Aprons and i love them, i like to wear them all the time :) but John makes fun of me....

This is John on his skateboard, he loves his skateboard, and the view behind John is the view from our garage, all the houses in the background are just like ours, but ours is a green color. You can kind of see it below.

But sometimes John loves his skateboard a little too much and this kind of stuff happens. He wrecked skateboarding down the old main hill, probably going who knows how fast... i'm just glad i didn't see it, but he had some pretty good scrapes on his arm and hip, and he ripped his only pair of jeans. I told him we couldn't go buy any more til he had a job... we thought he had a job starting this week, but we were wrong, but before we knew that we went ahead and got him a couple more pairs.... he really did need them and we got a pretty good deal :)
This is me after last Sunday's ride. We went on an amazingly beautiful motorcycle ride up Mendon canyon, the leaves are all changing and it was just so pretty! We wished we would have had our camera the whole time but we didn't, so all you get is the picture of my wind blown hair, i guess i shouldn't have worn it....but it was so fun, its times like these that i'm just so happy we broke down and bought the bike, now we can go places we never would have been able to otherwise...
This is Rayden, we were babysitting him while his parents went to dinner and he was so cute, we took him to the grocery store and he was just happy the whole time, but he opened the oven drawer and crawled in, it was pretty funny. :)
This is John holding Matthew and Brittany's baby Carter. He's super cute too, so many of our friends have kids, its pretty crazy. Anyway, life is good, and there's some pictures!

I know i know

So I know its been forever since i've blogged and i'm so sorry! It's not like we haven't had anything to blog about, we're just both been so busy! I've got another job at the bookstore in recieving, but John still doesn't have a job yet. He's been so busy with school so its been a good thing for him but he probably needs to get one soon, he's still trying. Anyway on Sunday john got a calling in our ward, he's the chair setter upper :). Every single sunday we fill up the gym because our ward is so huge, so he gets to go a half hour early and set up. Then i got a calling yesterday and I'm going to be in the Nursery! i was kinda shocked with that calling but i'm excited, it'll be interesting. John's got a new skateboard and he loves it! He wanted one for trasportation but he uses it more to feel like he's a punk kid again ;). No i'm just joking but he does love to ride it and he practices jumping in the driveway over a piece of food... he's funny. Anyway, we've been having the hardest time finding parking here at USU because there is none! Last week we parked almost a mile away from campus on a road that was full of other cars so we figured it was fine, little did we know it was only 2 hour parking and when we got back to the car in the afternoon after all of our classes, not only did we have a ticket but we had 2! They had given us one at 10:30 and another one at 12:30, ridiculous i know, we were pretty upset. Actually, i'm trying to appeal at least one of them so we'll see how that turns out. We've started parking at the transit center and taking the bus up to campus, its just easier.... Well, life is good, we love it up here and are having a good time with everyone that we know, we still go to Cafe Sabor every wednesday (Cheap night, super yummy) but tonight we're not going to because John's been begging me to cook deer, so i did, we'll see how it tastes. Anyway, life is good, and we're been blessed, we're most definatly grateful. i'll post pictures when i get home :), Promise :)

Today...

Oh wow! I feel so bad about that last post! I'm such a complainer, but John and i are hanging out at the university today because the exterminators just came so we can't go back quite yet, hopefully that will do it! Thanks for all the advice! We'll get rid of them thats for sure. I just hope once we do, they'll never come back.... Life is good, John's waiting to hear on a couple jobs tomorrow, they both sound promising and would be good. My job ends next week when rush is over so i'm looking again, but i've been so blessed to have something all the time, I'm almost ready for a little break.... But we love it here, we're been having tons of fun, it's been fun to have friends from snow just house's away and then we've been making new friends too, last night we went to Club Sabor with Chad and Emily and it was way fun and such good food! It's mexican and Wednesday nights are Aggie night specials and john and i got our whole meal and were full for just $6! it was great, best burrito i've ever had :), the company wasn't bad either ;) (Thanks Emily, for the invite!). Anyway, life is good and we truly are blessed! We miss everyone though! Keep up your blogs so we can know whats going on!

Our House is Crawling!!!

Everything is crawling with ants and i'm ready to throw a fit! Today i went to use the laptop and as soon as i opened it up hundreds of ants started pouring out of the keyboard! I'm just so frustrated and i so badly want them all to just disappear! John and i are quite used to smashing ants 24/7 with our fingers ugh, i'm kinda upset.... Anyway, if anyone knows some secret about getting rid of ants, we'd love to hear it!
Today was our first day of school, mine was awesome, my first class was let out 20 minutes early, my second was institute which was good and my third, all that happened was we showed up, and were told that our instructer is in Beging at the Olympics all week so we don't have class again til next wednesday! It was pretty exciting. John's was a little more...hard... He has all 4 of his classes monday, wednesday, friday but mine are spread out. And John's got hard classes, i just have fun interesting ones that i'm excited for. Anyway, i did end up cashiering for 8 hours strait, and that was killer but i'm home now and i'm super excited for bed! John still doesn't have a job, if any body knows of any jobs around here, please let us know! Thanks

We Made It!

So here we are in Logan! We made it and i finally feel like everything is put away... well most everything, and we got the internet! We're so excited! I started working at the USU Bookstore last wednesday and worked there everyday since then. It's fun, and i've never done cashiering before so its kinda fun to scan things and stuff like that, it reminds me of when me and my sister and friends used to play store in our foodroom :). Anyway, life is great, we love the house, except for the ants (i think they built ours on an ant hill but they're working on getting the exterminators over to spray the foundation, but until then, i'm obsessed with vaccuuming up all the ants over and over and over again.) We've met a lot of new friends since we got up here and been with a lot of old friends too so its been fun. Natalie stayed with us while she was homeless inbetween apartments and it was fun to have her here too, she moved into her place yesterday though so now its kinda weird to be just me and John but we love it. I'll post pictures of our house sometime soon after i hang out more stuff but until then.... We start school on Monday so wish us luck!!!
