Look at our newest bathroom decoration!

This is our latest addition to the decor in our teeny bathroom. My sweet husband slapped it up on the wall after a Sam's Club run for pineapple and various other pizza toppings and said "Look, now it's like a tropical island in here!" Aw, just what I wanted! A tropical island bathroom, my dream come true.
Needless to say, it will probably stay in our bathroom til we move sometime next year. So, if there's anyone out there that has a great need for a tropical bathroom experience, you know where to find it. Goodness, I love him!

Boring Posts...

Ok, so apparently I have to apologize about how boring our blog has been lately. My mom and my sister were making fun of me and saying that if the only thing I had to blog about was roast (see previous post) that we needed some serious excitement in our life, and I whole heartedly agree! We honestly haven't had anything to write about. Literally the only thing we have done the past two weeks are work and homework. We haven't had time to do anything fun. I've worked about 45 hours a week for the past two and a half weeks. Mike has done that much in homework and work combined and then some. We apologize for being boring, but we are going on our first of two vacations before school starts next month, so hopefully we can have something fun and exciting to write about soon!
p.s. Yes, I know this post is just as boring as my other posts, but I wanted to explain myself. :)

I cooked a roast!

I know that it's no amazing feat to cook a roast - you just put it in the crock pot and a few hours you have a delicious roast! But I've never cooked a roast before, so it was a significant moment for me. :) It made me feel all wifey (not a real word) and like I'm finally getting to be grown up and be just like my mom! I've waited all my life for that! Anyway, here's a proud picture of me and my roast (in all honesty it was a tad bit dry, but nothing that gravy can't cure) and also a picture of my cute husband anxious to eat his Sunday dinner.

This is me trying to be positive...

Well this week has been great! (not really...)
We came home for our weekend reunion to find that it was time to buy all new food! (a.k.a. our fridge had gone out and all of our food was spoiled - two gallons of chunky milk and really gross meat...not good)
We got to come up with some interesting meals to eat for a few days! (It took two and a half days to finally get our new fridge to us. Yay for keeping milk in our cooler and eating cold cereal for most meals.)
We got our new fridge yesterday morning! (Neither of us were home when they came the first time, so they had to come back, we almost had to wait another day.)
We got to make sure our apartment was extra clean for our new fridge! (When the fridge mover guys took our old fridge they dragged it across our carpet and it was still dripping all the gross melted food from it - Mike had the pleasure of cleaning up that mess because I still wasn't home.)
Our new fridge apparently wants us to get the apartment a little more clean! (Last night Mike opened the fridge and one of the shelf's snapped off and a bunch of stuff fell out, including a can of 7-UP which proceeded to spray EVERYWHERE!)
I started a new job this week. (It's basically going to be torture, but I just keep telling myself it's only for two months.)
We are learning how to share our lives more everyday! (Mike's key to the apartment fell off his key ring sometime Sunday, so we are a one key family. We became quite concerned when we learned it takes under 15 seconds to break into our apartment.)
We get to serve our ward by doing the monthly newsletter! (Ok this really is a positive thing, but we have to get it done and printed today before we leave town, we haven't even started on it, and we both work all day.)
We are learning a lot of details about health insurance. (We've been trying to get real health insurance for almost two months and they are taking forever to process everything! So, we get to have lame temporary insurance that hardly does anything.)
Oh yes and one last thing. Mike made my lunch for me this morning and drove me to work! (I was supposed to be at work at 7...Mike woke me up at 7:10 (thank goodness!)...I've never accidentally slept in and missed work before. I wasn't too happy and neither was my boss.)
Fun week eh?
On the positive side we are so blessed to have health, family and all the things that we need to survive...like unspoiled food. :)
