Summer Update

It's been quite awhile since I've updated, and to be honest it's mostly because of the sheer exhaustion that Tyler and I feel when we finally get home after driving two hours in construction and working at the Post Office all day. Is anyone else tired of all of the construction? I swear that every stretch of road has construction going on right now. Can't they wait to do some of it next year? I've developed terrible road rage because we drive so much, and because Davis County traffic makes you want to rip out your hair, so to help with my little problem I bought some nice classical music to listen to while I drive and it's helped a bit.

Tyler starts teaching in a few weeks, and he's pretty nervous but I know he's going to do a great job. We went "school shopping" at the Factory Stores so that he'll look like a professional teacher and not a student because Tyler has such a little boy look. Maybe I can get him to model his new looks and get a few pics to post.

We've been looking around at houses in the Davis County area, not that we're planning on buying right now, but we just want to see if we can't find any good deals that we can jump on. Everyone says that it's a buyers market but I still think that people need to lower their prices otherwise no one is going to buy them. (At least not us).

I went to the American Idol concert a couple weeks ago with all the girls in Tyler's fam and we had a great time. Maybe I'll post a few of my favorite pics. My favorite performers of the night were: David A. (of course), Brooke, and Michael J.
Tyler seriously considered trying out for American Idol since they were here in Salt Lake the past couple days, but he chickened out at the last minute. Oh well I think he has one more year before he's too old, so maybe next year.

Tyler has been playing lots of shows this Summer for the Army band, The Beatle band, and his own thing which has convinced me that I need a hobby of my own. I wish I could just wake up with a talent of some sort. I guess that's not how it works though, darnit. I guess while I'm wishing, I wish I could also wake up and be fit and lose all my flab. Ty and I haven't lost the first year marriage weight that I thought everyone got, so we've been looking into trying a six week boot camp that we have to pay for, so we HAVE to get our butts up and to the gym otherwise we waste money. I'll let you all know how that goes.

That's all I can think of as far as updates goes, but I'll try to have some pics to follow this post.
