Surprise!!

We're pregnant! Actually, not really at all. It's April's Fools day so I figure I'll do something even if it's so lame. Anyways...

We are moving to Iona in 2 weeks! That's right, we finally got the place we wanted. Well, we're not going to be moving all the way in, we have to be out of these apartments by the 30th and I still have to clean it too. Oh! And it's not out in Iona...it's just listed in Iona. It's right before the railroad tracks when you go to Bonneville on Ammon. But anyways, we are so excited! We get the keys on the 14th, but in reality, we are not suppose to get them until the 18th. Logan was surprise that we can get the keys so early. I have pictures of some of the rooms in the duplex. I'll post them...just to let you know it's a lot bigger than what the photos make them look like. Anyways, I'll find time to update about school and what not sometime soon. I've been so busy with school, packing and taking care of Logan (he has a fever right now and still doing everything for school and work). I'll post more pictures later when we get the keys. Talk to you later! ^-^

This is the bathroom upstairs...the downstairs looks just like this too.

This is the outside of the duplex...only it's the other side of the duplex. ^-^

This is part of the living room...It's really is huge. I promise.

This is the kitchen...like I said, it's kind of small but I'll live with it.

 

This is the hallway when you walk into the place...

Update on the Moving Status

So we finally think we have decided on what place we want. There is still a chance that we won't get it but we won't know until tomorrow. Anyways, we are going to try our hardest to get a duplex! Weird huh? It's so huge! And there's so much room. I can't wait. I don't even think that our stuff is going to take up half of it. It has four bedrooms, a two car garage, two bathrooms and a basement! I told you that it was huge. The only think that I don't like about it is the kitchen is kind of small but I'll deal with it. With this place I still can't get a dog...I can't wait for the day when I can get one. ^-^ Anyways, it's located on Deloy street which is by Bonneville High and Rocky Mountain Middle School. I don't think I'll let my kids got there but anyway. I am so hoping that we get it! If we don't I think we will end up over by my Dad's house. There is apartments called Foxboro that we was also looking at which is by Hillcrest High and Sandcreek Middle School. It has three rooms and two bathrooms. Isn't that weird too? Somehow we ended up out in Ammon (which I also hoped for). Anyways, I'll update you all within a week about everything. Talk to you guys later. ^-^

Makeover and Update on Us (Along with My Secret)

I've been looking for a background that fits both Logan and I and I did. I love the new background and I finally figured out how to add a good banner too (that's because of Logan...he's so smart. ^-^)

Anyways, a small update on us is needed. It's been a while since I lasted updated on us. We are at midterms week...and life just got 3 times busier for us. Not only do we have to study, catch up on homework and do midterms...we also have to start packing. I know that we are starting to packing earlier than we should but I think it's better this way because about once or twice a week we end up going to Idaho Falls, so we can drop off some of our stuff off at either of our parents which will making it easier moving out. We wanted to move out by the 29th of April now. Yes, that's the final date. We also got accepted into some of the apartments that we applied for too. Logan wants to look more into a townhouse since there is a chance that he may continue on with school and get his masters since the economy is still so bad. As for me, I'm still looking for an internship. I'm not really looking at the moment with school being so busy since I've missed so many days of school because of my body (I'll talk about that in a minute). I'm so behind now it's not funny. I may be able to catch up this week with Monday a holiday.

As for missing days of school...that's all because I finally figured out a way to get better. As I have stated on Facebook, I have recently lost another 7 lbs and in total I have lost 38 lbs. Anyways, my body has been doing a cleansing on it's own...so I have been visiting the bathroom a lot out of the day going with diarrhea. Sometimes I got really sick too..but I never threw up, lucky. The big secret behind me losing so much weight is that I'm not eating a lot of meat and carbs together and more fruits and vegges and drinking lots of water (I've also been asked multiple times if I was pregnant since I was going to the bathroom so much, but I'm not). Pretty much when I eat, 75% of my plate is a combination of fruits and vegges and the other 25% as either be a small portion of meat (usually chicken) or carbs (whole wheat breads or pasta). Just to let you know, with all the fruits and vegges...our groceries have been costing a little more than we like but Logan is fine with it since I'm getting better. I've also been trying to drink about 4 liters of water...because for every 50 lbs, you drink 1 litter. For example 200 lbs would be 4 litters. I've not been able to exercise because I'm so busy with school but then again I do walk about half the campus every day but Tuesday.  

That's about all I can say for now. I got to get back to homework...I can't wait until I'm done! ^-^

Looking for a new apartment...

That's right. We are going to move back to Idaho Falls very soon. At the beginning of the year Logan and I sat down and talked about what we are going to do when the semester ends in May. Logan thought we should move back at the end of April just so we are comfortable and plus we only have school for one week in May. 

What we are looking at are either a 2 bed and 2 bath or a 3 bed and 2 bath apartment. We was shooting for this because we may have a roommate a few times starting at the end of May but we are hoping there will be another excuse to why we are getting a bigger apartment. We went looking at some apartments on Friday. It was so much fun...I just hope when we go looking for a house it's just as fun! Anyways, we saw about 6 or 7 places and only really liked one of them. It was Foxboro Apartments that are behind Sandcreek Middle School. But when we was looking online we fell in love with a different apartment place. It's called Applegate Apartments. These are located behind Kmart. We wanted to see them but there wasn't an open apartment to go see. So we are hoping that they will call us back soon. 


We are going to go looking again but this time we are going to look at townhouses and Homesteads. Logan really wants a garage so he can play with all his tools and not have to worry about them being in the apartment. I won't mind for one either but for another reason...I would use it for my car.

June & July 2009

In June, we moved to Pocatello and have enjoyed it the whole time. We live at the Katsilometes Courts at 695 N. 7th Ave Apt 9, Pocatello, ID 83201. We still haven’t finished unpacking yet because we’ve been so busy with work and getting ready for school. We love the apartments…they seems so open. We have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen with a bar, dining room and living room. I’ve yet to use the front door…Logan has used it a few times. We love the fact that we get two spots to plant whatever we want. We’ve not planted anything yet…we are waiting for the fall, so we can plant some iris. I’m so excited!!
Logan has gotten a job down here at Sears in the Pine Ridge Mall. He is enjoying this job as much as his last job. He works in the electronics department. He’s actually quite good at what he does and the job doesn’t make him work all the time which I’m grateful for. He still has a job up in Idaho Falls with the engineering lab for ISU, which he only works once or twice a week. I’m still working at the Aquatic Center in Idaho Falls up until the end of the month. Also I’ve been coaching a swim team for the last two months. They did a great job, but unfortunately my team was the one that ended up having a lot of my kids gone for both of the meets. But they almost took 2nd place for them both. I’ve applied at the aquatics in Reed’s Gym and as yet to hear from the lady who is in charge. She went on vacation when I turned in my application. If I don’t get the job, I plan on applying at some other places. Hopefully I will get a job soon or I won’t be able to get a job.
My family has been good. Earlier this month, our nephew, Oaklen, turned one on 4th of July. He got so spoiled and so did my niece in a way. He got a lot of clothes…I think he had plenty to last him up to two years for the summer. Taylor, our niece, is growing up so fast! She’s still in the middle of her terrible twos at the age of three, but I’ve been talking to her mom, (my sister Amanda) and she is starting to get over them. Amanda has been having some health trouble ever since her miscarriage and the doctors don’t really know why either at the moment. Korey turned in his papers for his mission and now he is waiting for his cal which we are all excited for! Shami and Breanna have been having a great summer. They have been to Lagoon a few times and camping many times. My father has been at work for quite a while now. He’ll be getting back in state on August 17. I’m not sure what he does while he has nothing to do while at work but he as a blast at the casino in Nevada that he is near. Mom has been doing great. Cale has been working for the whole summer to make money so he can play football in the fall for Idaho Falls High School’s Football Team. Char took Driver’s Ed this summer and just finished. I’m not sure if he passed or not but it sure scares me to think that he will be driving soon. My mom and Cale just got a new red nose pit bull dog and she is so much like her father, Shilo who lives with them and there may be a chance that my mom will be getting Bristle who is the mom. Brooke has been playing a lot with her friends and hanging out with me when I’m off and in town. We have two family reunions coming up on the 1st weekend of August up in Black Tail Lake and one in September down in Nampa. Logan and I are planning on going to Lagoon on August 22nd with one of my friends and with Cale, Char and Brooke. The kids have never been there so we decide it would be fun to take them there for a summer vacation.
We wanted to thank everyone who came to the funeral and supporting us through it. It meant a lot to us all and we enjoyed seeing everyone there, too.
