Donny Fans


Tuacahn is having Donny Osmond in concert. That actually isn't the bad part...Donny Osmond is very popular, and he has a great voice and personality. The problem is with his fans. They are all middle aged women who dont remember that it's not 1970 anymore. I have had ladies call me every single day wanting to know when the tickets will go on sale, and they wont settle for anything less than the first row. Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning and my life will be filled with Donny dot com members until August.

Spring Cleaning

Last night Robbie and I went to our new house to do some cleaning before we moved in. We spent 2 hours cleaning the kitchen. I realize now that different people have different standards of clean. Maybe they thought they were leaving us a nice clean kitchen, but we didn't agree. We cleaned off all the counters and inside all the cupboards and microwave and stove were pretty gross. But the refrigerator was the worst of all. We spent an hour cleaning that. Tonight we are cleaning the carpet as well as the bathrooms. Then we should be ready to move in! I am really excited to get all my stuff moved in. When we were over there last night I felt like an intruder. It didn't seem like it was really my house.
I think I am most excited to fix up the yard. The back yard is actually pretty good size, but right now it is all dirt. We plan on putting in grass and a garden and, if Robbie has his way, a putting green. Of course this is all in the future, because right now we have no money because we just bought a house. :)

smooth move

so getting your legs waxed hurts. And then after you get them waxed and you get cold chills, it hurts. but they are smooth and it was quick and if you can count to five you will be alright. It was worth the pain, and I will probably do it again.

Todays Thoughts

My house closes today! Wahoo. After today I will be poor for the next thirty years, most likely longer, and I'm still excited about it. I can not wait to move in, and make my own curtains, and decorate exactly how I want. Now if I only had money to buy stuff for my new home. That would be nice.
Rain! I love that it has been raining all weekend and its still raining. It's been so nice. It looks like it will clear up today finally, but I wish it would keep going. Its been so refreshing. By the end of the week the temperature is supposed to be up around 90 again.
Tomorrow I am getting a full leg wax. I've never had my legs waxed before and I'm pretty nervous. I'm afraid it is going to hurt really really bad. The girl that is doing it for me says that it only hurts on the shin and around the ankle, but for some reason I don't believe her. Last night I was in bed trying to sleep, but I started thinking about my leg wax and it woke me right up. I'll sleep better once it's over.

Boxed up

Packing Packing Packing. A couple of weeks ago a friend in the ward called Robbie and I and asked for help moving. We went over to her house only to find it a mess. When we asked where she wanted to start she just said everything needed to go. We spent the afternoon throwing unorganized stuff into the back of a moving truck. That is when I decided that everything that I moved into my new house would be gone through, organized, and packed neatly. I figure this way I wont move any trash or junk into my new house. Also my friends and family who help me move will keep some of their sanity while hauling everything out. I also dont think that everyone needs to see and go through all your personal belongings. Ha - Easier said than done I'm finding out. Packing is pretty hard. No matter how many boxes I get packed and piled up it still seems like I'm not getting any closer. On moving day it will be interesting to find out how it goes.

Long time...

I guess my family is saying its been to long since I've posted anything on my blog. I guess they are right. What an interesting weekend. We had the most frustrating time getting approved for a home loan, and yesterday we found out that we make TOO MUCH money to qualify for the program that we wanted. To much money...here we are trying to prove that we really do make enough money for them to loan us over 200,000 and then it turns out we make to much money. That is totally insane. No wonder mortgage companys are going out of business, they are stupid. Anyway, today we finally got it all settled and we should close by the middle of next week. Sandi, the loan lady, said she might be able to get it all done and close early (but I'm not holding my breath this time).

Happy Family


Earlier this week my oldest brother Carlton got married. I really thought that he would never get married. He surprised all of us when he said told us he was engaged, but the real shocker was that he was planning on getting married in the temple. The wedding day was beautiful. It was so fun having our whole family gather together and celebrate his marrage. Carl told me that he loved me for the first time in a long time. You could see in his eyes that he was truly happy. Carls wife, Debra, is the perfect addition to our family. She is so sweet. One of my favorite parts is that not only did I gain a wonderful sister-in-law, but a wonderful neice and nephew.
Being at the wedding was such a great reminder of the love that I have for my husband, Robbie. I was just remembering how I felt when we got married. It is strange to see how love grows in only two years. Our wedding day was so special, but I wouldn't go back for anything. We've grown so much since then.
