Blog Blah

I haven't felt like blogging much for awhile. Lots of reasons, from everyone else's cute cleverly written blogs and pictures, to annoyed with what people say, and a bad attitude.

We moved. I hate moving. working only 3 nights a week can make things easier. I packed up the apartment while Ryan was working. Because of his crazy schedule we ended up moving on a Sunday. My family came up and some great neighbors helped. Thank you everyone!

I hate moving. We moved into our new condo. No one above or below us! we are above the garages though (people don't seem to use them too much) View of a large building. :( Closer to work for both Ryan and I.

Instant problems. Night #1. Ryan showers and the drain backs up. Toilet water backs up into shower. we can't shower or use toilet. Landlord comes next day and plumbers.

1st load of laundry that I don't have to take out of my apartment to do! Move clothes to dryer- nothing. The old dryer isn't working. The old dryer our landlord told us worked when we first saw the place isn't working. Super hard towels. Few nights later appliance man comes after we try resetting the breakers and blowing them, sparks. Laundry at my parents again. Thanks!
Dryer is fixed, not efficient, but works.

Come home notice a large pocket behind the front door up by the ceiling. Full of water. Landlord mad. Maintenance comes and cuts holes in my wall and ceiling. Days. Previous owners smoked can smell stale smoke. gross. wierd maintenance guys sheet rock and mud, come back and paint. Finally done! Please don't come back.




When we moved in I had to deep clean the fridge it was disgusting. Mad. Sanitize tub and bathroom floor after plumbers removed toilet to clean drain. I have done more work on this remodeled place then I have ever had to before. If anything else goes wrong I might move out!

It is coming along. I think everything is clean. I got curtains which my dad spent all day Saturday helping me measure and hang, and measure and hang pictures, IKEA trip. He is the greatest!

Still trying to find a place for a few more things, but all in all it is starting to feel like home.

Ryan graduated in December. we managed to lay low for awhile before the apartments noticed we weren't in school and told us to leave. So we did. Ryan is still working for UPS in the mornings and also selling cars at Murdock Hyundai. He is doing great!! I am not just saying that because I am his wife. he really is. He works long hours, but I am grateful for all he does! He is the best!

I am still at St. Marks working as a CNA on med/surg. Would love to work in the L&D Nursery or NICU, but at least I have a job. This week was pretty brutal but I am done until monday. Nice. Haven't seen Ryan more than a kiss hello or good bye in 2 days. He is supposed to be getting off right now, but has some appointments coming in at 6:30. Dang. that is good and bad. Bad for me because I don't get to see him, but that is how he makes us money! He is great!

I have actually been cooking now that I have some counter space, a full size oven and a dishwasher. That might seem trivial to some of you, unless you live at the Village! I feel so domestic. And I love it. tried some new recipes, received well.

My sister Leslie got a job at Murdock Hyundai as well. Not selling cars. She does not like Hyundai's. Snob. She is the receptionist. So I try to bring her dinner sometimes, even she liked my new recipes! I like being able to see Leslie more it is fun!

Sorry no pics. We cleaned the computer and put everything onto an external hard drive, now nothing is grouped and I am not going to search through all my pics to find the ones I am looking for. Plus we haven't really taken any. Bad pics from this post are from my phone. My 'My touch 4G'. Don't really love it. Miss my iphone, want the new one! but this will work and it is not bad, just not as good!

I am a good wife. I cook, sometimes, I clean, I take dinner to my husband (and sister) at work, and Ryan got a motorcycle. Yes a motorcycle. I never thought I would have a motorcycle but after having the scooter it became more of a possibility. He LOVES his motorcycle. I mean LOVES it! I hope not more than me because I am awesome!



I have to admit it is pretty fun to drive, and my brothers and dad LOVE it too! Spencer never used to text me, now he lets me know the weather all the time and invites us to come down!

Debating on making cookies and taking them to Leslie and Ryan at work , at Leslies request. But that would mean I have to get ready...
