update

So it's been super long i guess since either one of us has posted anything. Probably because nothing has really happened. Let's see...since the last post...we went to Chicago and spent Thanksgiving with my family. Our car died right when we got to Orem. Luckily Nick's sister lives there and thats where we were headed so we were sort of stranded there without a way to get to the airport the next day so I ended up calling my old babysitter Rosalie from way back in the day when I lived in Morris and she gave us a ride. It was good to go back and see the family. I didn't really get to spend a whole lot of time with dad or Jordan though since they got there pretty much a day before we left. The time we got with them was great though. When we got back to utah jacob's mom ended up picking us up from the airport. From her house, Nicks uncle picked us up and then from his house, Nicks dad came and got us and brought us back to Twin Falls. We spent the remainder of our break with his family and they lent us a car which we have been driving for the past month. This year Christmas was different for me because I was away from my family and with Nick's family. It was good though. They are great and I love them. It's been nice. all we've done since getting here is relax. Well, sort of. I have. Nick has been a little bit sick and he's been out helping his dad with carpet a few times. And car shopping. Which was successful by the way, we got a new car!!! Yay!! It's a 2005 toyota corolla. It's stick shift though so I don't know how to drive it. But I'm going to learn. Eventually. Anyways. That's been our life for now I guess. School starts in a week which I am not happy about. I'm super jealous of Kristin because she's done. I shouldn't be in school but I decided I wanted to graduate earlier and I am on fast track. Great. Anyways. Thats really all. The last semester ended uneventfully. I was happy with my grades though. 4 A's and 4 A-s and one C+ in my stupid writing class. Yup. Anyways. Story of my life and this post is super boring and now its done.

Pictures

So there's one more week until Thanksgiving break (THANK GOODNESS). I'm way excited because I am about ready to keel over from stress. Anyways really nothing is going on right now I just have some pictures to put up here. But one story I do have from my flute sectional today. So our band director had a meeting he had to go to so he wasn't there so the "assistant" band director ran our sectional. He is also still a student and in a bunch of my classes and my neighbor. He's a way nice guy and is always super nice to people. There's this one kid who plays pic in our band and for some reason has an issue with Bryan (student director). Can't figure out why. But anyways. Today Bryan asked this student if he was tonguing something that should have been slurred. Travis (student) said yes he was tonguing and he was going to continue to tongue the note even though his music said to slur it. Pretty much he was just giving Bryan a lot of crap about how he just doesn't care what the music says, he's going to play it how he wants to because "it's not that big a deal." This is false. All articulations in music are very important. Composers put them there for a reason. Anyways. Back to my story. Bryan is taking this all very well and is trying to help Travis, who continues to disregard every word of Bryans. Finally, I get fed up with this so I speak up. All I say is seriously? This guy is a teacher. You wouldn't talk to Bro. Neilsen that way. Just practice it how it's supposed to be played. Then he freaks out at me. Then Bryan just asks him what he thinks Bro. Neilsen would tell him to do to which he replies he would tell me to practice. Then he proceeds to say he doesn't care anymore and walks out. Seriously? We're in college. If you have a problem with someone that is not the way to go about it. This kid is a freshman and thinks he's basically all that. Travis and I are friends, but there was no reason for him to treat Bryan like that. It was super immature and I don't know how Bryan just stood there and took it. Kudos to him though because I wanted to slap the kid. Anyways. Makes me kind of not look forward to teaching because I know I'll have students who are like that and I have very little patience. Anyways. Nick just threw a piece of pasta at the wall. Haha. Back to why I really posted...Kristin is showing and here are some pictures of her!!

Ok that's all in my life right now. Sorry it's kind of super boring. Oh well!! One more week until Chicago!! Then maybe I'll have more to write about. Oh yeah! I don't know how I could forget this. Nick's mom and his two sisters came down this past weekend to go to a Collegiate dance show and it was so much fun to have them here. I'm way excited to see them after we go to Chicago. And to have them come back the first weekend in December. They're way fun to hang out with.

Home Alone

Well I am at our apartment right now home alone. My wife is working like she usually does around the weekends. I noticed that this blog is looking really...girly and decided I needed to help it. I don't have time to change the background or I would haha, so I guess I'll just post something so at least I'm on this thing. Everything is moving along great. Lindsay had a lot to whine about in those last few posts but she's really doing fine. I definitely pamper her too much at times I think. She forgot to mention that on the subway customer appreciation day I surprised her a visit and brought her a Jamba Juice. She was happy for that. Life is good, busy with school and work but we are surviving. I'm shocked it has already been two months since we got married. Thank goodness we have eternity together cuz time is flying by. We are almost to our year mark when we first started seeing eachother. That also means Jacob and Kristin will have been married a year already. Wow I'm starting to feel older just saying this stuff. I love my laptop and probably take too good of care of it haha. I have pictures of our apartment when we first moved in before it got way messy so I'll try to fit time in to post them this week. Well I have to go back to my lame calculus studies but at least this blog has been officially schenk'd.

Fiestas, Pumpkins and Cinnamon Rolls

So I'm in one of the bands out here and as all bands, we have parties. Since we're playing the Carmen Suite in my band and one of the other bands is doing something mexican also, we decided to have a fiesta! It was fun even though we weren't there for the whole time. It was good though. Free tacos so I didn't have to cook. Then there were pinatas also. Jacob and Nick were really excited. They both got to hit it. Then we went back to mine and Nick's place to hang out. I've decided I really miss carving pumpkins and whatnot. Last night Kris and Jacob came over and all four of us carved some pumpkins. It was way fun. Made me miss the good old days of our family all going out together and getting pumpkins then carving them together. Anyways. So we did that for a while and then cleaned up and then Kris and I made cinnamon rolls which didn't end up getting done until about 10:30. Jacob and Nick rented a movie and wouldn't tell us what it was until it was playing. They decided to rent Arachnophobia. Not cool. We watched it anyway though. Now I'm afraid of deadly spiders coming from nowhere and killing everyone. I don't recommend it to people if you're not a fan of spiders. Then after that to make things better, we put on It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Great movie. Ugh. Let me just rant for a second about work Friday night. Someone up high in the Subway chain decided that there should be such a thing as "customer appreciation day." Who does that? Basically what it was is a buy one footlong get one free thing. That many people coming in and getting mass amounts of sandwiches does not make me appreciate people. Not a good night at work pretty much. There was a solid line of customers to the door from 4 to at least 830. Also. I wasn't supposed to go into work until 4 but since I don't have time to go home on Fridays between class and work I just went in to work. As soon as I got there, mass amounts of people came in and they needed help or else they would have run out of bread. Cool for them because they're leaving. Not for me because I had to close. Not having any bread is not a good way to start a shift. Anyways, it's over now and hopefully I won't have to deal with it again.

Just a thought

So I just thought this was really cool and wanted to share it with people. Yesterday morning Nick and I were getting ready for school and our neighbor knocked on the door. I thought it was weird at first. It was 7:20 in the morning. Who does that? Then he asked Nick if he could give him a blessing. After that, I was thinking, how awesome is it that we can just walk next door and ask for a blessing. I mean for me all I have to do is look at the person next to me, but same idea. I didn't grow up with that so it's a new experience to me. It made me realize how lucky I am that I got married in the temple and have a husband who holds the priesthood and can do things like give me a blessing. Anyways. I just thought it was the coolest thing ever since I always had to go to some other place to get a blessing while I was growing up.

Just Bored

So nothing has changed. School started and its way stressful for both of us. Let's see...we got our financial aid and got new toys with it. Nick got a new lap top and I got a new flute (finally). Nick is telling me to get up and help clean. Our apartment is a disaster and the bishop is coming over tomorrow so we need to clean tonight because I am in class from 7:45 in the morning til 6:45 at night (oh how I love Tuesdays...) and the bishop is coming over at 7 tomorrow. Lovely. We went to Twin this past weekend. It was fun. We got to hang out with his family for a little while. Except his mom. She was out of town which was sad. Since none of the women in his family that were there were old enough to go to Relief Society and I would rather not go by myself I got to go to Young Womens with Nick's sisters. It was fun. For once they didn't talk about getting married. It was kind of weird though and they added a new value. Virtue. It's gold. Then we had to write down as many fruits and vegetables as we could think of. Nick's sister won that game and got a sweet potato squash. Anyone know anything to do with those? She tried to pawn it off on me but that didn't happen. Also this weekend we got a CD with all our pictures from the Twin Falls reception so maybe I'll put some of those up. We'll see. I'm putting them on facebook right now and it's taking FOREVER. I'm ready for a break. It's only the fifth week of school and I can't handle it already. Let me just whine for a minute. I'm on campus all day, I never get to see my husband, I have to try and find time to squeeze in two hours a day of flute practice, and I have to have a whole bunch of scale exercises passed off by the end of the semester and as of right now its not looking too great. Oh well though. I'm trying. That was my whining. Ok well I'm going to try and put some of our pictures up from the reception out in Idaho now. If there's none on here it's because I gave up. And if our apartment ever gets clean I'll put some of those on here too. Also. Caitlyn I tried to do better with my grammar. Just for you. Ha. Dang. I accidentally uploaded the same picture twice and it won't let me delete it. Probably because I'm technilogically retarded. I'm sure Caitlyn is going to leave me a comment and tell me that.

So here is our blog...i don't have my computer so i can't really put anything on it yet...pictures anyways. but hopefully ill get it back soon then i can put things up here. like things from our wedding and our new apartment which kristin has deemed super cute. since our wedding nothing has happened really. we went to twin falls last weekend and spent a few days with his family and had a second reception which was nice. also. we finally got our bed last night so we don't have to sleep on an air mattress anymore which is AWESOME!! school starts again in two days which im not excited about. its going to be interesting going to school working and being married all at the same time. obviously its doable. but anyways. first post! yay!
