Whoo!!!!

Okay so I guess it's fair to say that I haven't updated in a while. Ummm.... Lots has happened so I guess lets start with the boring/fun stuff. I know, no sense, but thats me. Okay well I did get a job as a Dental Assistant in Idaho Falls. That is so much fun I absolutely love it. I get to look into peoples mouths and tell them, " Hey! Brush your teeth everyday and this wouldn't happen!" Hehehehe... good times. It is sad to see little kids come in and their mouths are a disaster. Because at that age, it's not their fault, it is their parents fault who doesn't brush their teeth. Like, we had a child come in that his mom didn't brush his teeth with toothpaste... because the child didn't like it. What the HECK!!!!??? YOUR CHILD ISN'T YOUR BOSS, PARENTS YOU ARE OVER YOUR KIDS, YOUR KIDS ARE NOT YOUR BOSS!!!! UGHHHHH!!!!! That makes me so angry. You are not supposed to be your kids best friend, but their parent! Okay sorry a little venting. Steve found this new game online called Last Chaos. He has been trying to get me to play it with him online. SO finally last night for Family Night Activity, I played with him online for a while and it was actually pretty fun. I had fun playing with him on something that he enjoyed. I don't think that I will play it very much without him. It is fun to talk to him and to do something with him online. We got a new computer this past week. It is very sleek and cute and cheap. So we bought it. We didn't get a monitor because we already had an extra one. FUN!!! I like having two computers again, I can get on the internet and do what I need to do while Steve is doing what he needs to do. WHOOO HOOO!!!! Alright, well school is almost over and Steve is sooooo excited. He needs a break he has been working so hard on everything! I hope he does really well in his classes this year. When school is all done is when everything starts! We are going to visit family this year hopefully to see them because we haven't in so long. And then we are going to a family reunion with Steve's family this year! I am so excited. Okay well anything else? I don't think so... But if I think of something I will let you know!

Sweet Home Alabama....wait.....

Alrighty, I have had several complaints that I haven't updated in a while and I guess it's true so here I go. Texas was so much fun! We got to go and do things that we wanted to do and some things that we didn't want to do, but it all turned out to be fun and exciting anyways! We got to go hunting, and shooting at a range, and hang out with family and eat really good food, and did I mention hang out with family and eat REALLY GOOD FOOD? Man, sometimes a girl overeats herself because the food is so good... ya know what I'm talking about? Well anyways we are home again and safe and sound for all those out there who care. It hasn't really been snowing here yet and we woke up this morning with snow!!! yea!!! we were way excited. Steve has been dying for some snow so he got his wish. Oh and he changed his major to Business Management from Mechanical Engineering. So way less math and he is so excited about that. I don't really know what else is going on in our lives right now... we are just living or at least trying to live to the fullest and happiest that we can. We are craving sushi but that is an expensive craving that we are just going to have to put on the back burner for a while now. Monday is our 9 month anniversary!!! yea!!! We don't know what to do about Valentines Day yet, that will be an interesting holiday. OH and Steve didn't know when Valentines Day was! Sorry to all you ex's out there who had to remind your boyfriend about Valentines Day. Oh if you have any cheap, amazingly romantic ideas for Valentines Day let me know so I can steal them and do them for my amazing man. Love you guys and I will talk to you later!

On the Road Again...

So we are leaving the "frozen" tundra of Idaho to come to the "cold" desert of Texas for Christmas. We leave here on December 17 and come back on January 3, 2009. It seems like we travel all the time! I think we have gone somewhere to someone's house every month since we got here. That is a whole freaking lot of gas. UGGHGHHH!!!! Sorry just a little frustrated there. But the good news is that we get to travel down to Texas with my brother, his lovely wife, and their darling son. Who will be about a month old by then. He is so adorable. They are so lucky and you can tell that this was THE right decision for them and their family. Its hard not to be jealous sometimes. They have their life all together and everything is going great for them. Oh well, life is hard and then we die.  Oh well. Well I am really looking forward to spending time with our different families. I am SOOOO looking forward to it. Maybe I can spend one on one time with my sisters. That would be way fun! I will see you guys soon!

I HAVE A JOB!!!!!

WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy! I finally have a job! I am a cashier/work the front at Arctic Circle. I have worked there for 3 weeks now and it is bringing money in. I make $6.55 an hour, which isn't much and isn't going to be enough for rent plus gas, electric, gas for the car, groceries, care credit payment, and more. But the fact that I finally have a job is ecstatic! It feels good to know that I am no longer failing my family because I couldn't provide for them. I just love the way that feels. It feels good to work again. To be able to do something during the day and feel useful that I am actually doing something! So nice. Well, school gets out soon for Steve and I graduate on the December 6th. Which is nice because then I can start working on and getting my externship completed. Steve is doing GREAT in school. He is making excellent grades. I am learning to love life. Life is what happens when you make plans and they go otherwise. I love my hubby and am so grateful for everything that he does for me. He is the best husband that I could ever ask for. Mu-wah! I love you honey!

Finally!!!!

Okay so via my last post, I finally got some interviews. I am interviewing  at UPS, Verizon Wireless, Key Bank, and Toys R Us. All in the next two days. I am so excited for these interviews. My hard work has definitely paid off. I have been working on finding a job for five hours a day. So finally I have interviews and am so excited for them. So THANK YOU to everyone out there who put in a good word for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

The Never Ending Search

Okay so if you've ever been to Rexburg, you know that the city was not made for as many students as it has.  There just aren't enough jobs for everyone to have a job in Rexburg. So what are you to do when you find yourself in my situation and barely have enough money for rent and the bills for next month? You look harder. I have been looking for a job since we moved here to Rexburg in September. Ya, I know. Where does all the money go? It seemed like we were doing fine, but apparantly we're not. We don't have enough money for food next month. No one is hiring here and I have gotten really discouraged to the point where I feel like I have failed Steve because I haven't been able to provide the things that we need. If I don't find a job within the next two weeks, we will have to start selling stuff to get money for bills. Neither Steve or I can donate blood or plasma. Conditions vary between us so we can't bring money in that way. So if any of you out there know of somewhere that is hiring, please let me know. I'm just frustrated that I am either over qualified for a job or under qualified for a job. So I guess the moral is, JUST GIVE ME A FREAKING CHANCE!!!!!

Trip to Utah...

Steve and I bought 4th row floor seats to a Dashboard Confessional, Panic at the Disco, Plain White T's Concert. I know, freaking amazing. How we could afford this you may ask while we are but poor college students is that we bought them in the summer when we had money and we didn't have to pay rent. Well the concert was in West Valley, Utah so we of course had to drive all the way down there to go to the concert. We left at 1:10 p.m. We were almost to Centerville, Utah at about 5. Then our car broke down. It just stopped working. We pulled over to the side of the highway and thought maybe we just ran out of gas and the gas light wasn't working or the sensor wasn't working. So Steve was going to walk to the nearest gas station and get some gas to put in the car. But we happened to be right by a busy construction site and they just gave us 1/4 of a tank of gas for free! That doesn't happen often and they were so nice! But that didn't work. The car still wouldn't start. It would crank and turn over but not start. So we tried all kinds of things to try and get it to start, still nothing. Then we tried calling family that we had in Utah to see if they could come help us out. Steve's brother ended up coming to get us and tow us to a gas station until we could take it to a shop and find out what the heck was wrong with our car. He didn't show up for a couple of hours. So we sat on the side of the road for 4 hours almost. (When you go on a trip, bring food and water or something to drink. Trust me.) We went to dinner and then the next day took it to a shop only to find out there was a million things wrong with the car. Timing belt, injection springs, pulley, ball bearings, and something else I can't remember. Anyways, it ended up costing us $608!!!!!! That is a whole lot of money! Thankfully my parents are either helping us pay for it or paying for it because they felt bad for us. If they wouldn't have we would have almost no money. Thank heaven for parents and everything they teach you! Was it worth it? Quite possibly. We got to see family, had free food for a little bit, gas was paid for almost, and Kelcie got Steve a birthday present. So yes it was definitely worth it. Now, if WE had to pay for everything, that would be a different situation all together. Lesson learned: pay attention in class, you will learn something about cars that could save you and your spouse's life if you're stuck on the side of the road. THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT HELPED US OUT THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE LOVE YOU!!!!
