Long over due update

So its been forever since i updated this-but better late than never right? So Joel got a job! Im so proud of him! Its at 20/20 optical and its the perfect job for him since hes going into optometry. Plus its part time so he can still go to school full time! Its so funny how things work out- i was so frustrated that joel couldnt find a job anywhere, and it was just because this one was waiting :) AND this whole experience has been a real testimony builder. I have never been the best at fasting i will admit it (if i dont eat every 2-3 hours i get sick) so ive always been lazy with it. So a few sundays ago joel asked me to fast with him that he would get the job...(and to make things worse i had to work that sunday) BUT i said a prayer that id be able to get through the day so i could help joel...and on tuesday we got the call saying he got it! It was so great to see the outcome of our fast and has really given me the boost i needed to make sure i do it each month.

In other less important news, i colored my hair for the first time about two months ago...kinda scary! ha ha and today i went in and went even lighter- it was sort of shocking at first but i am starting to really like it- Joel hasnt seen it yet so hopefully he does too. So i went from dark brown (as seen in the wedding picture) to that! but anywho ill post more later!

Funtivities and a sad puppy

So last night we had a little get together at the Richmans with the Pugmires! It was alot of fun- however im pretty sure the Pugmires think we are crazy! ha ha Joel and I are really competetive and we played the game Remote Possibilities...and I will just say that it gets REALLY intense...screaming, shouting, victory dances...etc. But it was alot of fun- Then later that night after the Pugmires had left Joel found that Kyle has this little remote helicopter- This then entertained us well past midnight. We even went as far as to make it take off from megans head...ha ha which was an indicator that it was way past bed time.

So by the time we get home- little Miley has been home alone for like...4 hours...and I dont know if she did it for attention or out of boredom...but she had 1. Torn up two pairs of my shoes 2. chewed on my new shoes :( 3. attacked our potted tree and got dirt ALL over the floor 4. got into the garbage and shredded countless papertowels, napkins, and packages.... and lastly 5. Peed on the carpet Ha ha so needless to say she got quit the spanking... So since she was covered in dirt from the tree and somehow managed to get pee on herself we had to give her a bath. Now Joel and I hate the smell of wet dog so everytime we give her a cleaning we blowdry her- This also helps keep her nice and fluffy :) ha ha so the picture below shows the position she takes when she knows she needs to be dried off...ha ha and look at that remorse on her face! I knew she felt bad so of course after she was dry Joel and I cuddled her up on her little bed and gave her lots of kisses goodnigt :)

So needless to say it was an eventful night and I am now paying for it by being ridiculously tired at work, but it was worth it!

The game that brings out the worst in me!
Joel being 5 years old

ha ha the rest of us joining in
she feels bad- you can tell ha ha or im just a pushover

Funny Hats and Sushi!

So yesterday was my day off. I LOVE my days off, Joel and I slept in till like 10, then made a big breakfast and lounged on the couch and watched the office till like 1...ha ha and of course little miley was just as lazy with us as this photo will give evidence to. After that we drove up to Idaho Falls with Megan and Kyle for some awesome Sushi! I have been really disappointed with the sushi here in Poky and the one we usually go to in IF but we tried a new one called the Blue Hashi and it was amazing! Also the customer service was way good too which just made it that much better!



After sushi we had some time to kill before our movie started- so of course we HAD to go over to Target! (I miss having a target so bad!) But we went so I could look at shoes and Megan could get some sheets...but we got a little distracted by hats! ha ha we decided one day we are going to buy random hats like this and all wear them golfing. Also the sunglasses were right next to the hats, so of course we had to play with those too. ha ha so here are some of the pics from the excitement.

ha ha they loved these


And I actually liked my cowboy hat- im considering getting one for when we go to rodeos...well more for modivation to go to rodeos ha ha

ha ha Megan looked way cute in the hat in the last pic so we convinced her to get it :)

Anywho after the festivities at Target we went to see "Night at the Museum" and I was kinda disappointed- I didnt love it but it was entertaining and had alot of funny parts.

New Car- woot woot!

So Joel and I went down to Utah this weekend to see my family and to look for a car. It was sooo nice to be back in Bountiful- I kinda wish we had moved there and gone to the U- but oh well Poky is nice too. I should have taken pictures of my family and stuff but of course I forgot...ha ha But we DID find a car- Wahoo! Its the same car Joel already had, just like 10 years newer ha ha so its definitely a step up. Here's some pics- this isnt our car but it looks just the same (im too lazy to go take pictures ha ha)

Our interior is the same just minus the navigation :(

But anywho enough about that!

Joel and I have decided that with the expense of the new car we need to start actually budgeting our money for once- we've been lucky not to have to worry about it to much so far but I know the day will come when that wont be the case- and if we keep the same habits we'll be in trouble! ha ha so im trying to put together a meal schedule (to keep us from eating out so much!) so if anyone knows of any inexpensive EASY meals let me know i'd love the feedback!

Sundays are full of fun...wait wait- yeah not so much

As you can see there is no one in the store and danny is napping on the floor- pretty exciting!

Our little puppy miley :) she keeps things interesting!

So this is my first official blog post...pretty exciting ha ha I have been extremely bored at work for the past few days so thought this might give me something to do to relieve the boredom. Little did I know its kinda hard to figure out- for me anyway- so my blog is pretty boring but hopefully ill figure it out!
