Sleep is over rated

Alright, obviously I can't sleep. Maybe if it wasn't so warm in this house... or maybe if I didn't take naps during the day... Anyhow, I have been in a slight panic mode, I've apparently lost my passport. I know I put it in a safe place... Maybe too safe. I don't know where I've hid the darn thing!!

This Friday one of my best friends is getting married, to another one of my very good friends. I am so happy for them! I know that they will be so blessed together! I just can't wait to see them get sealed in the temple, I just know how amazing it is and will be for them!

Next weekend Josh is going on a "man-cation" with his boys. I can't remember who's all going, but a group of his old roomies and guy friends are leaving the girls at home and enjoying Lake Havasu for a few days. I'm really excited for him, but super nervous because this will be THREE nights away from my hubby! Oh the pain! I'm sure I'll be ok, it's just very scary.

I'm trying to plan a surprise getaway for just Josh and I to celebrate our 6 months, but he's not making it very easy on me. He's already taking a day off of work to go to this man-cation, so I'm afraid to see about another day off. I also will have some troubles taking the time off, so I'm really praying that we'll be able to get some free time. Shh, don't tell Josh!

Saturday!!

I love the weekend! It's such a great time to relax, catch up on cleaning, shows and time with family! I just don't see how we're supposed to fit all of that into two days!!

Josh got the jeep towed to the mechanic Thursday. He said it'll probably be about a week before we get it back. Justin is letting us borrow his truck in the meantime. I don't know what we'd do without the help from our families!

I've been looking at houses all week, trying to find some good ones. I keep hoping we'll find one that's in foreclosure for $20... I just don't think it'll happen.

I'm getting over the baby crazy phase, I realized that we are far too busy to have a child. We don't get very much time to ourselves, so bringing a baby in the picture probably isn't a bright idea, besides, I really would like to have a house before that step is taken.

I have to teach tomorrow morning in church, I honestly haven't even looked at the lesson yet, but for some reason I'd rather update the blog. Silly me.

We went to Chili's for dinner last night (Thanks Joe and Britt!). It was nice to go to a restaurant and have a meal that is more than just pizza... Oh kidding, I cook all the time. Except during the week we usually just make something quick because Josh is at school, scouts or softball.

Last Sunday we found out that Josh's scouts only have to meet twice per month. Now we have a whole two days more per month, just to be home!! Yay!

Well, that's most of our updates, if I think of more, we'll put them up!

Good news, bad news

So, Friday night was Josh's first camp out with the scouts. It was also our first night apart since getting married. I was completely scared, mainly because I'm a big baby when it comes to that stuff. Well, he left for the camp out two hours before I would get off work. Of course the one night we couldn't go do something, I got off an hour early. As I was driving home, Josh called me and apparently they still hadn't left. He needed a lantern, which just happened to be in the car, so I'd be able to see him before he left! Yay! So I settled in at home, caught up on some shows (lazy, I know). About 8:00, Josh called me from the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon. A piece that we just recently fixed on the jeep, had broken again, and he was overheating. So I picked up the piece and some more antifreeze and met him at the canyon. I drove back home, and settled into my previous mode, quite ready to fall asleep. Fortunately, I didn't. Josh called about an hour later, same issue. So I went back out there, ready to bring Josh home. Another scout leader picked up the boys and took them up to camp. I was so excited that I wouldn't have to sleep alone! I felt bad that Josh didn't get to go camp and that his jeep was broken, but I was too happy to feel too bad.
Saturday morning Josh and I went to tow the jeep back to our house and he began tearing it apart. A few hours later he came to the conclusion that he'll have to take it to the mechanic. We now have a torn apart jeep in our garage until we can tow it to a mechanic.
What an adventure, life stays interesting!

Busy Busy!!

Well, it's 11:05, I really ought to be in bed. I want to be, but I'm addicted to Heroes, which is what we're watching. Oh how fun. I've had a lot on my mind lately. For some reason I've gotten pretty baby crazy (shh, don't tell Leslie :P). Josh keeps telling me no, but I just can't stop thinking about it. Well, I guess we really should work on getting a house first.

Anyways, enough about that. I'm pretty sure our landlord is a little crazy. He really likes all of the improvements in the apartment. He liked it so much he hugged me. It was pretty funny. What a goon. I will admit we have done some pretty great things to our place. We redid the kitchen floor and now we have beautiful pergo laminate. We put shelves up in the garage for more storage, new contact paper in the cupboards, new lighting throughout the place. It is pretty decent now (fairly ghetto before, but not trashy) maybe we can survive another 6 months here, we'll see.

We have officially hit the busy season at work. It's pretty tough to work so many hours and know that Josh is at home and missing me. It drives me crazy that we can't be together, I know it'll all be worth it soon. Or maybe we should just quit our jobs in live deep in the mountains some where. Ha, yeah right.

Well, fun times, I best be going, episodes over and we're hopefully going to bed, I hope I get enough sleep to not be completely useless tomorrow!

Sitting at home is a luxury now a days. I wish we had a chance to just sit and relax, be lazy. So far we've stayed super busy and I'm ready for a break.

Our lease is up on the 1st of October, so we we're looking to find a bigger place. Unfortunately we we're banking on getting a townhouse from one of Randy's coworkers. Bad idea (no offense Randy, we appreciate your help!). He decided at the last minute to sell it, leaving us with no time to look for other options. Now at this point, we're looking to try to buy something. The market is so good right now and with all the benefits of home ownership, it probably isn't smart to miss this ship.

Anywho, we're about to the busiest season at my job, so I'll be little distant (and even more busy) until...Christmas. Josh is in school super late Mondays and Wednesdays, and has scouts Tuesdays and softball Thursdays. Pretty much it'll be interesting if we ever get a chance to see each other.

Well, it's been a real fun time being married, I really can't imagine what I would do without Josh! I really am so blessed to have such a great family!
