Week In Review

So I'm sitting here in front of the computer and listening to the BYU Football game online on the radio and getting ready to think about this past week. We have had a great week!

I started a job on Tuesday and I have been working alot since then. I can work overtime so that means I often stay until Scott is done working too. My job keeps me really busy. I am working for a guy from church that recently started a new business. Alot of what they are doing right now is transfering old home vidoes to DVD. I get to record all of the videos. I usually have 6 machines going and am cleaning another project at the same time... and usually when one machine is done that means that at least one more will finish a second later. Right now there is another guy working with me but that won't be for long. I stay really busy and it is pretty fun.

Scott has been going out this week. The office from Texas came out to join the office here after the hurricane last weekend. This is really good news for us because it means the office here will have more structure and that techs will be avaible. It has been hard for Scott the last few weeks because the other people here weren't really excited to go out and were only out for like an hour on some days.... it is nice for us to feel like we are getting into a normal life. We even should be able to move into our own place in the next week or so. Its been fun living with the parents but it just isn't the same as having your own place.

I also wanted to wish some of my sisters Happy Birthday... Betsy had a birthday on the 11th and Meija's was on the 15th. The 15th would also have been my big sisters 38 birthday! I love and miss Michelle and I am grateful for the example she was to me. She was my role model all growing up! I am forever grateful for those months I spent with her and the family while I was engaged. I learned so much from her....... Happy Birthday to those I love

Scott and I now have plane tickets and we will be in Utah conference weekend, the first weekend in October. We fly in Thursday morning and will drive our other car down here on Sunday or Monday. We are excited to visit with family and friends and be home for the weekend.

Well I guess that is the update for now... I'm still listening to the BYU game... They are winning with 10 min to go in the first half... Hopefully it will stay that way. GO COUGARS!

Fun Times

So we have had some fun times since we arrived here in AZ... Last week we went on a date and were walking around the mall. We went into the Disney store and found T-shirts for $5 and we each got one! We also spent last weekend with Brian and Meija and had tons of fun. We stayed up late playing video games and then the next day went and looked at model homes. Scott and I are starting to get ideas of what kind of floor plan we want in our dream home in the future. We also played Mother May I. That is what this picture is... we let the boys call it out and they got a little weird.

Scott and I had a really fun date night this last week. We decided to go on a progressive dinner. At first we let the flip of the coin determine which direction we would turn.





We started out at Burger King for drinks, we got shakes.







Then we went to Applebes and got Potato Skins! We even brought our shakes inside with us! Our waitress thought it was such a cute idea! She said she would steal it for her and her boyfriend. We said that is okay since we stole it from Scott's mom.




That was where our following the coin ended. We wanted something a little more healty for the main course so we went to Rumbi and shared a chicken and stake bowl. It wasn't too hot so we even ate outside... (it is still over 100 here everyday, yesterday our car thermomother said it was 115)

We then went to the dollar store and picked out something funny to wear. We had fun with the glow necklaces and the bucket hat!







Then for dessert Scott wanted a blizzard from Diary Queen. I wanted a snow cone so we made two more stops for dessert on our way home. When we got home we watched a movie. It was a really fun night and we enjoyed spending the time together!
