dreams

So lately I have been having some weird dreams and pretty much each night the last few days. I'd really just like if they stopped all together so that I could get a decent nights rest. These are a few I've had lately...

Dream #1 - I'm in a mexican restaurant with my high school friends and for some strange reason my sister's dog Sadie is there. Maybe Sadie was there because all I do is hear her bark at home constantly. She barks at everything - other dogs, squirrls in the trees, lizards, the wind, a blade of grass. You get it so back to the dream. She starts her *yip*yip*yip* so I say "Here Sadie, go in this." And let her potty in a box of guacamole. Weird right?

Dream #2 - There was a huge black, yellow and red snake hiding under the patio table. Dad told me to kill it with an axe so I took a swing. The snake was so big I only put a scratch on him and it only made the snake more upset. He snapped at my little sister, Alaina, and bit her on the elbow.

update...

I thought it'd be good to let everyone know we are here in Louisiana now. We are almost settled in - we have a place to sleep and a storage unit for most of our belongings (for the time being). Once something interesting happens, I'll be sure to post!

Markie was right...

I can't do it. The purpose of this blog is to keep in touch with friends and family and I feel as though I'm making it impossible to keep them updated with this blog on private. My friend, Markie, told me "everyone that decides to go private goes back." Well, I'm going back. I lasted almost a month.

On another note, why is it snowing now? It has gone almost all winter long with little skiffs that melt quick and now it is sticking - of course it happens the week we are moving. I guess we will be packing the truck in snow/rainy weather. Looking forward to that and driving it in the unplowed streets.

Great news...everything is packed and ready to go. What is even more impressive is I did it alone since Kevin has been working in Louisiana. And just to note, I am so glad we only have enough to fit in our apartment. I couldn't imagine packing a house.

And even better news... Kevin will be home tomorrow! I can't even tell you how excited I am! As long as I can help it, we will never do that again. Ever.

How I spent my weekend...

I found this puzzle of New Orleans' French Quarter at Walmart while I was picking up some cleaning supplies. I was thrilled and worked on it while watching episodes of The Office.

I was actually productive and did some cleaning in between sittings.
The oven has never looked better!

big news... no we're not pregnant

We had come to the conclusion that we would remain in Idaho after Kevin's graduation. We thought it would be smart to avoid the cost of a move and keep my job, which I absolutely love. It has paid the bills and we have insurance benefits and... Idaho might have grown on us a little. Disclaimer: I do not love Idaho, but it has been good to us and I think we've grown up. After a few interviews, prayers, and trying to exercise as much patience as possible...we have decided to move back home to Lafayette at the end of February. Kevin will be working with my dad at the lockshop and getting to use his degree, which is pretty exciting. He hopes to also begin in the Fall 2012 semester for his MBA at U of L. I'm fortunate enough to keep my job with the hospital and I'll be also working at the shop. With this situation it is win-win for everyone involved, which is always great.
We'll be busy and these are big changes but we are excited to be back in the south!

Temple Square - looking at the beautiful lights and freezing!

Kevin graduated from BYU Idaho! Elder Quentin L. Cook attended the ceremonies.

Way to go, Kev!

Dad and Scott came. You know, I just can't see the resemblance...I'm so proud.

Christmas was just us in our apartment. We enjoyed the traditional Bradley German pancake breakfast and opened our stockings and other gifts. We attended church for sacrament meeting and afterwards enjoyed Christmas dinner at our home with a couple of our friends. We then played a few games on new gift - our XBox 360 and kinect! It was a quiet and very relaxing holiday. As wonderful as it would have been (and I wanted to) spend the time with family, I did like it more than I thought I would.
