Summer 2010

So this summer has been crazy. Let's see...I work full-time plus at least two extra weekends a month. It is chaotic and stressful. Jordan has been working full-time for Provo City and just got a new job at APX, where his brother works. He will be working full-time. The last couple weeks he has been trying to juggle both jobs. It has been crazy for us. Our new schedules mean less time together and a lot less free-time! It really sucks, but it will be great the time we are both home together.

We recently went to California. I went for work to do a conference for parents I work with. Here are a few of the pictures from our fun trip. It was cut short by work, since Jordan got the new job and had to be back to Utah last minute. Oh well, the price we pay for needing to survive in life and make money.

Hopefully, one of these days life will calm down. But I am starting to become a doubter...I am accepting this is the story called life.

I am working on updating this blog and will try to be better about keeping everyone in the know.


Jordan and I are excited for spring and then summer! We will both be working lots this summer. Jordan just got a full-time job with parks & recreation and I got a second job at the hospital here in Provo. Jordan is still looking for apartment management jobs and has interviewed once again. We are waiting to hear back and hope things will work out for the summer! Keep checking back for more on our life! And hopefully next time we will have some pictures and not just words! Pictures are more fun to tell a story anyways.

All the pictures from the Olympics make me want to add one more city to the list of places to go...VANCOUVER

places to go

I have a fascination with big cities. The buildings, the lighting, the colors, I love it all. Here are some places I really want to visit and am in love with...some I have never visited and places I'd love to go back to:

1. Seattle - I am in love with this city from the pictures I see, I love northwest cities
2. New York City - an obvious pick, so many cool pictures to take there
3. San Francisco - the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay, I don't need to say more
4. San Diego - cool zoo
5. Atlanta - I grew up there, it is a cool city and people are so nice
7. Las Vegas - I love the lights
8. Portland - One word, LOVE
9. Los Angeles -I would love to pollute my lungs with the fresh air
10. Miami - the beach and the bright colors everywhere
11. Dallas - my sister is moving there

Ok, and then international cities:

1. Paris - who wouldn't want to see the Eiffel tower in real life
2. Berlin - architecture is amazing
3. Mexico City - I was there for a short time, I need to see the rest of the city
4. Buenos Aires - so much culture
5. London - you can get around here speaking English
6. Madrid - don't you love the Spanish lisp

(Jordan is not involved in this and if he reads this, he will probably have heart problems due to stress since this is a long list of places I would love to go.)

I am on a "remodeling binge" as Jordan has called it. One of our latest projects was redoing our living room fan. Unfortunately, I don't have the before picture. You will just have to take my word for it that the fan was dated, back to the 80's. So with a couple cans of spray paint and a perfectionist husband, we now have a really cool fan! I got started on the project, but then Jordan had to get involved when breaker boxes, wires, and screwdrivers got involved. Then he ended up helping with most of the painting. So I get credit for the idea and being crazy, he gets credit for making it happen. This was a fun project that makes our light fixture look great, but was super cheap! Check it out (not the best quality)...
