Hooked on Lost

Yes it's been awhile again since I've updated my lame blog and yes I have an extremely lame reason why. Tyler and I got lost in the t.v. show LOST and we haven't been able to function as normal adults because we've been so addicted to the show! It is seriously like t.v. heroin (not that I would now), it's just really addictive. I have already watched the past four seasons in just a couple short weeks, and I'm dying for the fifth season to start. So if you haven't seen the show I don't recommend starting it unless you have no life or you want to have no life.

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.

Summer Shows

"Get Back" Beatle cover band at Summerfest in Logan!

The 23rd Army rock band playing a show at the Newgate mall

Tyler has done some shows this summer so I thought I post pictures from a couple of them.
The Beatle band show was really fun because both our families were able to go. I'll have to post the date on here the next time he has a show so everyone can come. Good times!!

Photo Booth Fun!

Tyler and I have spend countless hours messing around with the photo booth on our computer ever since Nikki and I discovered how much fun it is, so I thought I'd share a few pics from our time wasting activity. There are quite a few more distorted ones of both of us but I'll spare you from the most hideous ones. I'll have to put a few more up of Nikki and I later cause there are some pretty hilarious ones.

Bored thoughts

Tyler just left for and Army band gig out in Murray and I'm home bored as usual, so I thought I just write my thoughts for the day. I don't think I've ever really done a real blog entry before, it's mostly just pictures of happenings in our lives, so here goes my thoughts for the day.... Oh and I'll explain the picture later.

Tyler and I both worked at the Post Office today, and it was such a beautiful day. It might seem weird, but I really don't mind delivering mail when the weather is nice like today. The only thing I don't like about sorting the mail at the Post Office is that I have way too much time to just sit, actually stand, and think. Don't get me wrong pondering about life is good, but having a few hours a day to ponder just gets annoying. I think that is part of the reason why I have to take a nap almost everyday when I get home. My mind just needs a break.

Was anyone else disappointed with the season finale of The Office? I really need to have Jim and Pam get married... for my sanity. I don't think I can handle having them possibly split up in the next season. I kind of like the new character though they brought in to take Toby's place. Maybe Michael can get married and have a baby with the new character. Ha!

There are a family of birds living in our bathroom vent. I noticed chirping every time I went in there and I honestly thought I was going crazy, but finally Tyler told me he heard it too. Soon we figured out that there is a vent covering that is missing on the side of our townhome and they must have pushed their way through it and built a nest and had babies in there. Every time I accidently turn on the fan in there the image of baby birds being sucked up to their death flashes through my mind. Tyler's dad said they won't leave till the babies are ready to venture out and fly. I guess I'll have to deal with the chirping for another month.

I'm not sure what to do with my life as far as a career. Every time Tyler brings it up, I try to change the subject because I don't want to have to face possibly getting more schooling or starting a scary new job. I don't want to work at the Post Office forever. I didn't go to college for four and a half years to do that, but I guess I just hate the process of finding a new job or figuring out what I really want to do enough that I wouldn't mind just staying at the Post Office the rest of the Summer. I've narrowed down my list of possible career choices but again it makes me nervous. I'm not good with big decisions. Hate 'em!

There are a couple of new movies coming out that I'm excited to see. First off Indiana Jones looks good. I wish Harrison Ford was a bit younger for it but oh well. He's still pretty good looking. Tyler and I need to sit down and watch the first three before we go. Second, The Chronicles of Narnia looks pretty good and I think I remember Adam (my bro) telling me that he helped work on some of the graphics for the movie, so I want to see it for that reason too. Speaking of Adam, I don't know about anyone else in my family but I would love to see some pictures and actual entries on Adams blog. I know you have your new expensive camera and you're living in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, so come on Ad lets see some pictures!! In fact, I promise you (Adam if you read this) if you put one or two good entries with pictures on your blog, I will send you a package with your favorite food or candy that you can't get in New Zealand immediately! I got side tracked there back to movies coming out. I heard somewhere that they are planning on making "Arrested Development" the movie. For fans of the show including myself this is exciting news. If you never got into the show, go and buy or rent the first season on DVD and watch 3 or 4 episodes and trust me you'll be a fan. This is why I have the picture posted above.

I think that about wraps up my thoughts for the day, thanks for reading.

Temple Square

For Mothers day last weekend Tyler and I went to my parents' house in Centerville and enjoyed a nice dinner with my family and then afterwards we all went down to temple square and looked at all of the new Spring flowers that had just been planted. If you haven't been down there in the last few weeks, I highly recommend going. It was so beautiful!! We couldn't stop taking pictures of the flowers, except now I have a bunch of pictures of flowers on my camera, and they don't look as cool in the pictures as they did in real life. Oh well!

Anyway I thought I'd share some of my not as cool as in real life pictures because I love Spring and I know it's not going to last much longer. Oh and Happy belated Mothers day to all you mothers out there especially the ones I'm related to!

New Job!

Well, after a few nerve wracking interviews Tyler was offered a full-time guitar/general music position at Syracuse Jr. High! This is exactly what he went to school at Utah State to teach so he is really excited that he found such a sweet position. He'll start this fall, so he'll have the Summer to prepare his curriculum. Luckily the school is only about 3 or 4 miles west of our place right now, and with rising gas prices we're extremely grateful it's so close. Now we just need to find a job closer to home for me. I couldn't find a good picture of the school so I'll have to take one myself but here is an awesome picture of the school mascot. Go Seahawks!!
