Seriously?

July. Really? July was the last time I blogged? Pathetic.

I am truly a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad" blogger. (Remember that book?)

And to top it all off, I'm a hypocrite. I am always reading other blogs, and when I finally get all caught up with nothing else to read, I think, "Geez, why won't this person blog already? It's been forever!" Huh.

So, with that said, there is no where else to go but UP! Right? I can improve! Right? I will improve! right??? I surely hope so.

Life. It is a many splendid thing. Here is what is happening up here in "the Burg," as my father calls it.

Nothing. Hence why I haven't blogged. Yet, EVERYTHING! Hence why I haven't blogged. Nothing too exciting has been happening, but we have been so busy! So I'll start at the beginning, a very good place to start.

- July - 

My little sister got married! Crazy, but it truly happened. And it was truly beautiful. And I truly forgot my camera. Sheesh. They are such a gorgeous and happy couple. I'm so glad Tom and I set them up. :)

My darling sister-in-law taught Tom and I how to make jam. Our first attempt was freezer jam. Mmmmm, strawberry... Some of it didn't set up quite right, so we used it for syrup on waffles. I wasn't complaining a bit! We also learned how to make homemade yogurt. Who knew it was so easy? It is also very revealing as to how much sugar and other sweeteners actually go into the store bought stuff. It's bitter! But add some jam, and it is delightful.

- August - 

We went to Lagoon! More than once actually. The first time was for Tom's work. He drove a bus of Junior High Students.... Yay. On the plus side, it was a lovely day...

The skies eventually cleared up and we had some fun. And Tom made a new friend.

And then, a few weeks later, we went with Tom's family. It was a lot of fun to be with them. I ended up getting so sick though. I told Tom I couldn't ride that ride, but he talked me into it somehow. Bad news. You can tell I wasn't feeling well by the picture we took on the SkyRide.

Do we not look like we're 10 or something?

WE MOVED!

Outside our old place.
Can you tell we had been moving all day? I can.

Again, you ask? Yes, again. And thank goodness. 

The reason being, we got new jobs! Tom and I are now the Onsite Managers of Brighton Apartments and Townhomes. It's been great so far. We love our new place, our new boss, the new students, etc. Life is pretty good. It's super stressful since we're new and still trying to figure things out, but it has been such a good change for us. This also means I am no longer working at the Marriott. I loved the people I worked with, and I miss them already, but I am so thankful to not work until 11:00pm and never again on Sunday! Hooray! Though working at the nicest hotel in Rexburg had it's perks...

Terrible quality, but yes, that is Jon Schmidt's name on the arrival list. Like, THE Jon Schmidt. The piano player. I will miss being in the loop with the famous people.

P.S. This new job was the very exciting news from my last post that MANY people mistook for a pregnancy announcement. Sorry. Not as exciting for you as a baby would have been, I know.

Oops... How did that get on here....
