Changes

Bye Old Car :(

Hello New Car

Bye Old Dan

Helllllooooo New Dan

I'm joking. He's the same Dan, but now he's in a uniform

I miss him a lot.

Camp

So, my new calling in our Ward is Assistant Camp Director. Not to be confused with Assistant TO the Camp Director. Lately, because of this, I've been thinking about my girl's camp experiences. I loved girl's camp. Seriously, what a blast. Unfortunately I could only find 2 pictures to document my good time.

I'm the lady in red


Eat your heart out.

Our New Baby

Our "new to us" car!! yay!

Yes, it is yellow. And yes, it's stick shift, but we love it anyway just the way it is.

So, the majority of my week has been spent learning to drive this lemon.

Dan leaves for boot camp on Sunday for 6 weeks. :(

Lianne is now a Clements. Yay!!!

We can barely afford living with all the curve balls life has been throwing at us lately, but what doesn't kill you, only brings you closer. 

We got to spend a whole week with my family for Lianne's wedding.

While in Dallas, we were camping in Jill's living room in our brand new tent!

Chris and Blaire were also camping in the living room.

Chris snores and the earplugs were less than mediocre. Haha.

Dan and I are scrambling to get everything done before he leaves.

I'm struggling to keep my composure and be supportive because I'm going to miss him so much, and selfishly I don't want him to leave. 

But, amidst all the stress and trials, we are so incredibly blessed. 

So, that's the update. Our life is pretty stressful right now and busy, but we're still disgustingly happy. :)

This is what happens...

When your alarm that you set on your phone doesn't go off:

You wake up late and panic

Don't get to shower cause you have to rush

Miss your flight to SLC for your brother-in-law's wedding

And are tired and exhausted the whole rest of the day.

We missed Mike's sealing, but only just barely. From sprinting across Temple Square, we were able to make it into some of the pictures. No promises on how good we look in those. Gross. But, other than that, our trip to Utah was a lot of fun. We got to spend some quality time with Dan's family and eat lunch with my Grandparents. All in all a really good vacation. It was just that one day, really, that wasn't so great. Chantale looked beautiful and they both looked so happy, so that's all that really matters. I have another sister! I think that makes 6 now. Wow.

Another side effect: No time for contacts. Lol. Isn't he handsome? I love him.

The one blog to rule them all

Hey fellow bloggers and bloggees.  I'm blogging like I never blogged before.  I think I've studied so much my brain cells are actually undergoing autolysis.  Our new garden is doing pretty well, but one of the tomatoe plants might not make it.  I can't afford advanced medical care for the little guy since the municipal court of Haysville decided they needed 400 dollars of my money to purchase antidepressants for their secretaries.  Our soccer team won the kansas state intramural indoor soccer tournament, and I can't seem to get Manchester United to stop calling me with lucrative contract offers.  Seriously.  Plus, I seem to have lost the skill to fold my laundry so I move the pile everyday from the coach to the bed to the chair to the coach again.  Its the laundry migration of shame, but I can't muster enough OCD power to change it.  That's all I got for now.

10 Things

I LOVE:

1. Reading scriptures with my Hubby before I go to sleep
2. Coming home to a cool apartment after a hot day
3. Toasted bagels with butter and jelly
4. Hugs
5. That clean feeling after you brush your teeth
6. Watching movies as a study break
7. Cuddling up and reading a good book
8. Learning about early British Literature and writers
9. Going out and not staying in

And mostly...

10. Dan

Attention!!

Apparently my comment thing hasn't been working. Sad times. So, hopefully I fixed it.

Here's what's been going on:

We went down to Wichita this weekend for my mom's birthday, and that was a lot of fun. We saw Wolverine which was sooo awesome! Plus, we were able to take my mom to Red Lobster for her birthday, she really loves Red Lobster. I kind of love my family.

It's been raining for like a week straight here, which is miserable if you have a swamp for a car. BUT! We finally bought a car cover the beginning of this week, so it hasn't gotten any wetter, it just hasn't gotten dryer either. I think it's supposed to be sunny today though, so maybe now it'll dry out. We affectionately now call my car swamp thing. :)

This week is "dead week" and next week is finals!! Almost done!
