update-ish

I guess I should update...It's been a while! Not much has happened recently in my life. The investors came to work a little while ago, so we had to have a clean office and where business casual...blah blah. LOL We should keep the office clean anyway, but wearing business casual was actually pretty fun. I do love hoodies and jeans, but it's nice to play dress-up every once in a while.

We are thinking about selling our house here pretty soon. We want to get into a cheap apartment and save for a down payment on a nicer house for a year or so...But we'll see how that goes. We tried to sell our house around last Thanksgiving, but that didn't go so well. Even if we break even, I'll be happy..I just don't want to lose anything. The problem with our house is that it can't grow with us. If we wanted to add on another bedroom, it just wouldn't work because the property is so small. But living here has been a good experience for us. We had a little debt scare earlier this year, and that taught us to pay better attention to our finances. Cody has gotten a much better job, and since I got a raise, we feel more comfortable with getting a nice house. Preferably in Spanish Fork, but we'll see.

I'm playing the scrapbooking game with my best friend this weekend for a gift for Cody (SHHH!) and I'm so excited! I have a lot of materials, thanks to my job at Xpedx. But I've never had time or the patience to actually sit down and do it. She is beyond excited to help me, so I'm giving her something to look forward to as well.

Even though it's a little boring, I love my life. I am so blessed to live with the things I have, love and be loved by the people in my life. There's always something else I want, but everything is good for now. 4:30 pm and all is well! Slow day at work, obviously...Boss-man is out for a dentist appointment today and there isn't any mail going out. Holiday = lazy day!

Tchussy!

hi hi hi hi

I was messing around online and came upon an avatar-creating site...so HERE I AM!:











She totally looks like me, right? Well, I had fun..

In other news, I had my sister-in-law Aubry highlight my hair on Saturday, so I'll have to get a photo sometime soon...don't get mad at me if it's not for a while. It's not that I'm busy really, there's just a lot of cleaning I need to do this week. It never recovered from our Denver trip (and the lack of regular cleaning for that week). Also, I finished reading Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon (the 4th in her Outlander series) and I don't know why I didn't do this before hand, but I had to order the next two in the series. So, while waiting for Fiery Cross, I started reading Promise Me by Harlan Coben and I am hooked! I thought I could put that away when I got my book in the mail, but that's not happening! I really like the way he writes, it's not the best book I've read, but I'm too far into the story to put it down now. This book is a little shorter than the Diana Gabaldon books, so I should be able to finish it soon. Wish me luck!

P.S. We saw The Dark Knight over the weekend as well...not sure how we felt about it. I really loved Heath, Christian, and Maggies performances, but I don't know about the movie itself. I'm usually pretty easy going about movies, and I did like most of it. I guess maybe I just need to see it again when it comes to DVD and see how I feel then.
