random things

5 DAYS and counting till my jobs change. I am SO excited to start the new job that i think this week might be a LONG one!

Here is the Valentine Card that Kevin made for me. I LOVE IT!! He also wrote some very lovely things on the inside too.


We got Kevin two more new ties. You'd think that he wears then everyday (which he doesn't). But we had to replace some ties he has had for like 15 years! LOL. We got his last two on clearance at JC Penny. They are great ties! We spent $9.00 and on the receipt it said..."You've saved $42.85". AWESOME!!

Saturday night we went for a drive to get out of the apartment. We decided to drive up to Magic Mountain where we camped once like 5-6 years ago. The roads were fantastic. We were chatting and i joked that we would run into a bear. Kevin said "no there are no bears in these mountains, but there are cougars (mountain lions), but I've never seen on before." Literally like 5 mins later there was a HUGE cougar walking up the other side of the road! We were shocked! It was totally awesome to see. Made me all the more nervous now to go camping up there. Mr Cougar was hunting for some dinner...it was about 7pm.

We meet with ANOTHER Realtor this past Saturday. Talked about the neighborhood, houses, taxes, etc. I am very excited to be actively now looking and getting ready to buy another house!

3rd job's the charm...

...you interested to know what going on?? I'll tell you later today! LOL.

HAPPY MONDAY

updated: Apparently no one is interested. But i'll tell you anyway. I haven't been all that happy at my job with the Hospital. Kevin told me his office was hiring, i inquired about the position, interviewed, was offered the position and accepted it! I have officially given my two weeks notice. We are way excited. It will be good. The pay will be much better then the hospital. Now we know where we will buy a house...in Jerome (Emily here we come!!). Since we will both be working there, there is no point in living in Twin and commuting. So that is the big news here. Here's to my 3rd job since December. LOL.

new things

Yesterday we ran lots of errands. Some weren't planned on. Such as blowing a tire on our way to Walmart in Jerome. Luckily our tires were under warranty, so that was an easy fix. Thank goodness we had the tire paperwork in the car still. That could have been an expensive fix.

NEW TIES!

Kevin has been in need of some new ties for Chruch. Alot of his ties have been around since his mission (and before)! So Jeffrey told us he gets his ties at TJ Max. So we thought we'd check over there. We got Kevin three new ties yesterday - starting with the green one and working your way to the right. The one on the left is one we got a JCPenny about 2-3 weeks ago.

My "big" purchase yesterday were new shoelaces for my brown Doc boots. I bought these boots back in 1997! LOVE THEM! I haven't worn them lately cause the needed new laces. Well i found some yesterday. WOO HOO! Now i just need to polish them. LOL.

updates

Seeing how i haven't posted in like 2 weeks, i thought i would do some updates.

1. the bathroom wall has been repaired! WOO HOO!!! One night we could smell cigarette smoke in the house. we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Apparently since it was too cold to stand outside and smoke our downstairs neighbor decided to sit in his bathroom with the fan on and smoke. Well it came right into our place. WE WERE PISSED!!!! We immediately left a phone message for the apartment office. This is a brand new building and it's SMOKE FREE. So i think we might have gotten him in a little bit of trouble. LOL. But boy did they fix the hole fast. To prevent future smoke coming up Kevin cover the hole with suran wrap and taped it closed. It worked great!

2. We had gotten quite a bit of snow over the past little while. Not as much as some other friends have gotten. But thankfully a lot of ours is GONE! Don't get me wrong. I love snow! But driving in it isn't always fun. People park like CRAP when it snows cause you can't see the parking lines. I HATE the ice it creates during the melting/re-freezing it does everyday. I am SO hungry for SPRING! The last fews days have been so nice! We have been hitting into the low 40s. WOO HOO! Kevin wishes the snow would stay. I'm sure we'll get more snow, it's only February.

3. We are still house hunting/deciding. We just want to make sure the area/neighborhood/ house are what we want. We plan on staying a while here.

4. I have a Doctors appt in Boise on March 7th to meet with a Fertility specialist/Dr. I met with an OB/GYN here at the end of January and she suggested with my past history and problems that we just start over there. So here's to hoping we can start our family soon!!! We are only going on 8yrs of Marriage this Summer! I feel like we get looks sometimes like, why don't you have kids? Don't you want kids?! It used to bug me SO BAD. I don't mind talking about it and stuff. Just don't accuse us of not wanting a family! oh, sorry about that. lol. just starting venting. lol.
