Happy Aniversary 8/17/09: a belated post

The second year really does go by way faster than the first!

Picture of the Week...

So, I was at my parent's house last week working on a project while they were gone. All of a sudden I heard this really loud bird. At first I was annoyed, then I decided to go see if I could shoo it away. Well, there was no bird. This is what I did see:


A marmot! In the middle of town! He was stuck in the fence. I was so wierded-out I didn't know what to do so I called our family friends the Lindermans. They had the presence of mind to get a two-by-four and push him out. He ran into the neighbors yard and hopefully found his way back home. Poor critter!

Plaino Bridge Jumping

This was my first try. No one told me what and how I should do it, so I flopped. luckily I had enough sense to flex my back so that it didn't hurt so bad.

One Life Goal Down...

Gettin my diploma

Ta-dah! I got my bachelors degree in Exercise Science finally. For me it has been a rough four years and so it's a big deal. I'm so happy!

Two Weeks Left!

Well, I don't have any pictures but it's about time to update. There will be pictures next time. After much thought and prayer Troy came home from Sacramento last week for good. We might try the security sales thing again next year when I can go with him, but we'll see. I personally am very glad he's home because it been a very rough week and the next two weeks promise to be very rough as well. It's my last two weeks of school ever! At least until grad-school and I'm not sure when that will be. I'm so excited that I bought a BYUI class of 09 t-shirt and I broke my own rule and wore it to class today. Maybe I'll put a picture up of it later. Anyways, I have nine group projects (which includes four dances to choreograph and perform and three slide show presentations) and three tests (that I know of. I hate group projects- all the meeting time problems and discussion and time! They are so time consuming just to get people to agree on something! I'm not sure how to squeeze this all into two weeks. I guess eating will be out, and so will sleeping, and probably blogging. I better get started.....

Weekend in Sacramento

First of all a picture for Troy: this is the boy, Chaco.

Now about my trip: I got to go to Sacramento last weekend with my Mom to see Troy. I didn't take very many pictures, but I went shopping with my mom and Heidi, hung out, anddid some homework while Troy was at work. We went to Olive Garden, an awesome ward party with really good food and a crazy water-basketball game, and to the lake when Troy wasn't working. It seems they like to make the guys work extra hours whenever I go down there (I went down for Memorial day weekend, too, and they worked extra), but Troy managed to get off a little early. It was so good to see him!

I don't recommend being apart if possible, but Troy and I are trying to look on the bright side. We decided that being apart helped us realize that we still like each other, we appreciate each other more, and we do, actualy and (after two years of marriage) need each other after all.
