I tried...

Ok one thing I am looking forward to when we move to Rexburg is internet!!! We will have our own connection (emphasis on own -- and not trying to pick up whatever signal we can from the neighbors). I just tried to upload a bunch of pictures but it just isn't happening, so sorry. I'll be a lot better when we are up north keeping this thing updated. This is the first time I've sat at the computer in like a week (I remember when it used to be a couple times a day). I'm just busy, busy. So the big move is only a few weeks away -- and I just don't even want to think about it. I remember when I first moved up to Pocatello I could load all my belongings in the back of my jeep -- now we have to do the whole moving truck business. Packing and cleaning is the worst part! I have decided though that a change will be nice - it will stink having to meet new people and get adjusted but it will mix things up a bit. I will be working a lot less which is good and bad. Good because I would rather be home being more of a wife and mom and bad because we will have no money -- we will be pretty poor. I am excited to brush up on my suzie homemaking skills... I must admit I'm not a very good wife... I get home from work and cooking and cleaning is the last thing on my mind. So we might be poor but there will be a nice meal on the table and a clean house for Todd to come home too. It will be nice to also have a more structured day -- Reese has little to no routine - due to our crazy schedule. Ok so I'm babbling...

Not much on this week's agenda... tomorrow there will be another football game (like every Sunday), we still need to finish up our Christmas shopping, Todd's work Christmas party is also tomorrow, and that's about it until Christmas. I have major plans to de-clutter my house and send some things to the DI in preparation for the big move -- but really not much else. How exciting are we?

Don't kill me... no pictures again..

Ok so we are over at a friends and we are using their internet and I don't have my memory card with me to upload some pictures. So what's been going on... Thanksgiving was great. We were in Preston for the blessed holiday -- it's so nice to have good food! Reese loved dinner too... she sat on my lap and sat mouth open the whole time -- she needed a taste of everything especially potatoes!!! We didn't stay too late since Todd had to be back to work at 8 (oh the joys of working retail during the holiday season). I had to work at 5:30 the next morning. Todd did get off work in time to hit the early morning sales. He managed to find a laptop after waiting in line for hours like all those other mad crazy shoppers! He didn't get the one he wanted but found one that will work for school and it ended up being a $100 less than the one he was hoping to get. I never do the early morning shopping... I think it's crazy and there never seems to be anything worth getting up that early for. I would rather sleep. So not much else has been going on -- we did find an apartment finally! It has been a nightmare trying to find a new place to live -- so we had originally planned on living in Idaho Falls but we found a place in Rexburg. So we are moving to Rexburg the first of January, ugh... I'm looking forward to a change... but not so much living in Rexburg. Who knows though I may end up liking it up there. Soooo... not much else going on - just working on getting my Christmas shopping done. Well I better get back to socializing with my friends ---later...
