Look Alike

I think my mom is 19 in this picture (my sis or dad can correct me on that if I'm wrong) and that's me at 21.

Happy Mother's Day. Love you mom, miss you.

Day to Day

6:15 a.m. - alarm starts going off...try to convince myself to get up early and get to work early
7:45 a.m. - actually get out of bed ... if I'm lucky
9:00 a.m. - work
lunch break for an hour sometime in there
6:30 - 7ish p.m. - go home
7:30 p.m. - whip something up for dinner
maybe watch a show while we eat and try to relax for a sec
8:30 - 9:00 p.m. - go feed Charles and the horses in Lehi
10 ish ish p.m. - get home, get ready for bed
11 ish - in bed, trying to fall asleep
Repeat

This is why our poor blog is neglected as well as just about everything else in our lives except for work, which still feels like I'm not putting in enough time there to get the things I need done. This is me making excuses, but I'm perfectly fine making them for now. Life is good ... just overwhelmingly time consuming.

Hopefully I'll be back around soon.

I Feel Loved

I've been way sick since Saturday afternoon and Matt ...

-slept on the couch for 2 nights so that I could have the bed to myself
-cuddled with me on the couch to keep me warm when I was having crazy chills
-volunteered to go to Walmart to get me 7-up and saltine crackers that I said I wanted and then came back with not only 7-up and saltine crackers but with popsicles, ice cream, orange juice, and 3 redbox movies
-let me overtake the couch multiple times so that I could lay down and watch tv and movies
-scheduled an appointment with the doctor for me this morning
-and then took me to the doctor

has been so incredibly sweet and is taking such good care of me :)

I'm probably forgetting something in that list too.

He's so easy to love. Thank you sweetheart!

Farewell to Brotherhood

http://mikealger.com/vlog/farewell-to-brotherhood/

Here's another video made by my awesome brother ... starring Matt (his acting debut) and if you look closely I'm an extra. It was filmed about a year ago for the LDS Film Festival. If you click on the link it will take you to my brother's post about the video ... which I highly recommend reading so you get his description and explanation of the video - it will probably make more sense that way.

Freedom ... Maybe

We put an offer in on a townhome last Saturday. It's a short-sale though ... so it could take awhile. It's nothing extravagant ... but we can see a lot of potential in it. We're already getting excited about it. Matt's been on Home Depot and Lowe's websites all week and I've been on DIY blogs and refurnishing thrift store furniture sites all week. Just thinking about being able to paint the walls, replace whatever we want (sorta...depending on $...but still), have a garage to refurnish furniture, have a little yard for Charles, have Charles live with us (I'm kinda sick of him having to live so far away from us at the moment), etc etc etc. We're ready to move ... now.

And so ... we're crossing our fingers and trying to wait patiently for a response from the bank ... hopefully it comes quickly and they accept our offer!
