Shane was home all week so I haven't spent much time on here. Life is still good. Like I said, Shane was home all week working at Lewis. He was with a trainer the whole time and got a better idea as to what he'll be doing after the academy. The stories he came home with were interesting at the very least!

It was super nice to have him here this week. We got things done but we also relaxed and hung out every night, which I've missed a lot since he started the academy. Friday night we packed our blanket and drove to the temple to watch the Easter pageant. It was cool because we went to the Easter pageant a year ago for our first date (and sat way in the back where we couldn't see anything!!). After the pageant, we picked Steve up from Auto Body World. He looks brand new! We spent Saturday running errands, and ate some seafood alfredo at Olive Garden. We also bought a new couch and loveseat! It was a great deal. We're looking forward to using them when we get our own place again. They're shrink-wrapped and sitting in storage right now or else I'd take pictures.

That was just a small update. I'm pretty tired so I'm kind of at a loss for thoughts and ideas. Hopefully I'll be better about writing in the future!

Weird Day

Today was really weird. I worked eight hours today and we had like, 3 customers the entire time. Now that is bad. My co-workers and I felt like we were the only ones left on the planet or something because we didn't even see any cars on the street. Then, at 4:00 pm, the weirdest thing of all happened: our table broke. We were decorating our kitchen area (I work at a home decor place) and the table that we were using just snapped in half! For no apparent reason! Rose thinks we have a ghost...


On a happier note, I talked to Shane tonight. He's doing good, is getting good grades, and is ready to come home tomorrow...and this time he doesn't have to go back until the 23rd!! Plus, this Saturday is our six month anniversary. All I'll say is that it's been an amazing learning experience, and whole lot of fun! I'm sure it will only get better.

So, those were the highlights of my day. Now I'm just sitting in bed, wrapped in my totally awesome goose down comforter (seriously, this is the best bedset ever...it's so hard for me to get out of bed in the morning). This is probably the best part of the day, when all my work is done and I can just hang out for a little while before bed. The only things that would make it better is if Shane were here and House were on TV!

Poor Steve

Meet Steve, our 2008 Corolla. We shared five magical weeks with him before rear-ending a fellow Toyota on the 101 North and Union Hills. That's a new PR for me! I went six months before getting in an accident in my Ford (and it wasn't my fault, I swear).

Shane's in Tucson so it was up to me to drive Steve to Auto Body World. I don't drive stick very well (I won't even move Steve out of the driveway if I don't have to) but I made it the whole way without stalling. The car was making funny noises, though, and I kept picturing that scene from Tommy Boy where the hood of the car flies up and they swerve all over the road. Anyway, I made it okay and everyone should be proud. :)

Besides the fact that our brand new car's broken, I had a fantastic day. Bree and Mani and I ate lunch at Chilis, after which we hit up the Big Apple Bagels Cafe. We drank smoothies, went shoe shopping and looked for new Sunday dresses. I had fun.

Then, after dinner, Shane called to tell me about his day. This week his class is practicing self -defense so he was pretty beat. He's happy that he's losing weight, though. He's lost about 10 lbs so far and he still has five more weeks of the academy to go.

Overall, life is good. We've been so blessed. Shane has a steady job and I am working on one - 11 more months till I graduate school! We have new cars, a roof over our heads, money for our bills, and we have each other. Sometimes customers at work or people I don't know very well see my wedding ring and give me a bad time about being young and married, but I love it. It's fun to make decisions and see the results and learn from our mistakes. And when we see everything start to come together, it makes it all worth it.
