This weekend for the fourth of July Andrew and I went down to Ogden to visit my grandparents.  It was a fun and relaxing weekend.  The Struve's were there as well, so Andrew got to finally meet them!  We had to drive back monday afternoon because I had to work at five.  Work was actually extremely busy because we were pretty much the only place open in town.  My manager let me off around 9:30 so I could go with Andrew to watch the fireworks downtown by the temple and the falls.  I was kind of disappointed though; everyone kept talking about what a neat show it would be and how big the fireworks show was in Idaho Falls.  But, to me it was not that great....not compared to the show in Kansas or Oklahoma at least! :)  It was still fun though.  Andrew friend came with us, as well as Kristen.

We only have two weeks left of school, and we are SO excited.  It has been a stressful, but good semester and we are definitely ready for it to end!

Last week I had one of the worst days EVER! I had to wake up early to register for my classes, and this is critical because i HAVE to get certain classes at certain times since Andrew and I's schedule is so tight.  Of course, the internet was not working though.  Luckily Kristen happened to answer her phone at six in the morning and she was able to sign up for my classes for me.  Because that whole process ended up taking so long I missed my plasma donation appointment and Andrew was almost late to work.  Then when I came back home from dropping Andrew off at work I couldn't get into our apartment  because the dead bolt was jammed.  I drove to the apartment office, but they did not open until 9, and it was 7.  Plus I had to be at school by 9.  Andrew was able to run home for a few minutes and bust our door open.  THEN I started to feel sick...but I really had to go to school because I had a meeting with a teacher to redo a test that was vital to my grade.  SOooo I drove to school.  While working on my test in my teacher's office his son came in with a bologna sandwich (I HATE bologna!)  and he warmed it up in the microwave.  Is that not the most disgusting thing you have ever heard of?  Anyways, that smell did not help my sick stomach and I ended up running out of the office to the restroom so I could throw up.  It was a miserable experience.  I went home and slept for the rest of the day, but missed one of my classes.  Andrew tried to turn in my assignment that I had completed for the class that day, but he would not accept it since I wasn't there.  How rude.  Oh well!  Andrew being the wonderful husband that he is, came home early from school to take care of me and made a terrible day end well.  I love him :)  He is the absolute best.

Andrew's birthday was on Sunday so we celebrated it this weekend!  On Saturday we went to Blackfoot to watch Stephanie (Andrew's sister) compete in Special Olympics.  She got 3 gold medals! It was a lot of fun, but we all left with quite a bit of sun....especially me.  I was in SO MUCH pain the rest of Saturday and Sunday.  It hurt to move anywhere! haha.  Poor Andrew had to deal with me complaining about the pain all day on his birthday.  Saturday night Andrew and I went to Buddy's, a delicious Italian restaurant for his birthday dinner.  It was yummy and had a great atmosphere.  Plus, we pretty much had the place to ourselves.  It was really nice.

On Sunday we taught CTR 5.  There were five girls in our class and it was so much fun.  They were all in love with Andrew, one of the girls even drew him a picture with a big heart that said I love U on it! hahaha.  They were the cutest.  We also both got callings on Saturday, Andrew is a ward missionary and I am the primary chorister.  We are both really excited about them!  If anyone has any brilliant games and ideas for me to teach the kids songs please send them my way.  I can use all the help I can get!

We are midway through semester, and I cannot wait until it's over!  Really I just cannot wait until august when we go visit my familia in Kansas. :)

Here are pictures of our apartment :)

Feathers!

So I guess the new fad at the moment is putting crazy feathers in you hair.  I am totally in to this new trend and have wanted some in my hair forever!  Last week Andrew was in his Calculus class and saw a girl with some really cool feathers in her hair.  He asked her where she got them and she gave him the number of a girl who makes them and puts them in your hair for you.  He texted her and got an appointment set up so I could get it done. (He's the best husband ever.)  I was so excited when he told me.  We went yesterday to get them and now I have feathers in my hair and I can officially feel cool like all the rest of the girls at BYU-I. haha.  Too bad Amber's in Spain, she would LOVE this new fad.

Andrew reads the Hunger Games to me every night before I go to sleep.  Right now we are on the second book (Catching Fire) and I am so engrossed in it.  I have a hard time sleeping sometimes because I want to know what will happen! It's ridiculous. haha.  The worst part is that Andrew has read them and so he is always saying..."Oh, this is the best part! You will never guess what is going to happen!"  It kills me.  Anyways, so far they are pretty great books and you should read them.  CAUTION: You will become addicted.

Andrew's car has been acting up a lot lately.  For example, I had to have it towed twice in one week and it would never start when we really needed to get somewhere!  Of course. Not fun.  We will never buy a nissan again.  It was very unreliable.  So, we decided to try and trade it in, for some cash, or at least straight across.  We did that this weekend and got a little toyota camry 1997.  We LOVE it, it's perfect for us, and runs so smoothly.  Andrew is now driving Henry and I'm driving the camry :)  It even has cruise! Such a luxury!  And a huge blessing for us.

Now, for my unfortunate event this week.  On Monday night I got off work really early because we were extremely slow, (surprise, surprise).  We went to eat at Wingers, and our server literally talked to us twice.  Once at the beginning to ask us what we wanted to eat, and at the end she brought us our check.  She never did anything for us or even asked how our food was.  I was pretty bugged by her.  However, the hostess was really nice and brought us everything we needed and checked up on us.  So, when we were leaving we gave our tip to her.  I think that made our server pretty mad, but she didn't deserve it!  Anyways, the VERY NEXT night I was at work again, and GUESS who comes in, with her boyfriend?! Yes, that's right, our server from the night before.  Oh man, if that's not karma then I don't know what is.  Let's just say, I got a lot of glares from her direction in the next hour. haha

Besides that experience everything is going great, Andrew and I are really liking school and doing well.  We moved out of our stinking old apartment and are now living in a much cleaner environment and absolutely love it.  I really like being able to decorate it cute, it's so much fun!  Our schedule gets pretty crazy.  Andrew works in the morning at Broadway Ford, then we go to school, and I work as soon as schools over.  BUT we still have a total blast and love each other more than anything. :)

English Class

I've wanted to start one of these for a long time, and a project my English professor assigned gave me a perfect reason to join the blogging world! I've been having a hard time finding time to keep up with my journal writing, so I am going to sort of keep one on this blog. Hopefully it will be a way to release stress and write about all the crazy and fun times Andrew and I have everyday! :)
