Finish your milk

Today is my day off and I have been able to get a lot done actually. ( and by that I mean my house is clean, you're welcome, Bart). However, I usually try to work longer at my internship but sometimes there is just nothing to do. If no one calls me back, or they are out of town, what am I supposed to do? I kind of feel like a slacker for leaving but honestly it's either I waste my time on the internet in the office or I leave and get all my chores and errands done. Obviously when I have a job there are always slow days, but at least I will have more things to do ( I am assuming). Either way, I feel bad for not being there for very long today.

I will be going to the Beach Boys concert tonight and covering that so at least I will be doing something for them. I am pretty excited but also nervous, I never feel legit enough to be behind the scenes asking questions. The cool part of that though is people do think I am legit so I just fake it and they talk to me...it's pretty cool.

Bart is signing our lease for the apartment tomorrow so I guess we will be living in Murray! I am getting more and more excited.

I really just want to go outside and get wet today! It is such a nice hot day I feel like being wet would feel wonderful. Bart gets off work in half an hour, maybe I can convince him to take his bored wife out to play!

I think sometimes (and by think I mean I KNOW) that Bart feels like he is married to a child. I however, do not see this as a bad thing.

Examples:

While helping him coach his little baseball team I asked if we could get snow cones after and spent the majority of the time complaining of the heat

When my feet are not covered with the blanket I have "peekies" and that needs to be fixed immidiately

I do not eat the crust of wheat bread. Gross.

I can't sit still enough to watch an entire movie at home.

I sometimes feel like I am married to an old man or have a father instead of a husband because of how he acts sometimes so I guess that means we are even!

"Did you pick up your mess?"

"Finish your milk"

"Did you hear what I just said?"

a clock in the background keeps my mind moving

making me aware that time's never stopping

the continual motion of the pendulum swinging

never slowing, sometimes singing

always a constant in a world ever moving

all the while with the pendulum swinging.

Q: Quiet time = stalking time

So I have recently stalked quite a few blogs...blogs written by people I don't know (hence the word stalk) and I am starting to feel like my blog is a little inadequate.

Here is what I feel like I need to happen to make my blog just as BA as theirs

Live in a cool place

Learn how to take cool pictures

Have WAY too much time on my hands

Be artsy 

Find 18,983 more friends

Cool! I'll get started on all this another day :)

S%&@ Bart Says

This is the first installment of S@%# that Bart Says:


B "What did you ever do without me?"

M "Take care of myself...?"

B "How? It's kind of a two person job."

M "What are you and your mom doing?"

B "Swapping recipes"

B "Don't sass me Meg." 

B "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life gives you a Bart, make what you can and be thankful you didn't get more lemons." 

B "Babe, you need to do a good job keeping me out of jail in the future."
M "Why?"

B "Because I am not very good at holding onto the soap."

B "I noticed some shoes you put in the box to throw away were still in pretty good condition."

M "Does that mean I can keep them!?"

B "No."

B "Do you know how to read a tape measure?"

M "Yes Bart."

B " I'm just making sure, I don't really know what you can do."

(On the drive home from our Honeymoon)

B "I am so glad we saw another Utah State Car. That's the best thing that has happened on this whole trip."

(After combining bank accounts)

B  "Now I know I am committed to you, you have access to all my money."

M "You don't have any money."

B  "Oh yeah..."

B " At some point today you are going to realize you have married a great man, at that point, anything is possible."

B "What are you going to do when I die? The Relief Society isn't going to bring you food forever."

B "You are clingy."

M "No I'm not!
B "Yes you are, you are like clothes right out of the dryer without a Bounce sheet."

B "You not letting me see that movie is like me not letting you buy shoes."

M "But you don't let me buy shoes."

B "Oh yeah."

 

The Dealio

So it is official, Bart and I are leaving the wonderful world of Cache Valley. He got a job at Jefferson Junior High in SLC and it's an opportunity we couldn't pass up. He will be teaching Health, the subject that he loves to hundreds of little 8th graders (poor guy). We are very excited for this new step.

We are also really mad that we have to move again seeing as how we JUST got settled into our new place. Oh well, we are hopefully going to find a place with a tub and some cupboard space! As well as a place where we get direct sunlight so I can get my dang plants back into my life!
We will be moving probably the first of August, depending on where we find a place to live. I am currently figuring out the University of Utah situation..and praying I will be able to get everything transferred and figured out. I am not excited to wear red. I have always hated red, and will continue to hate red. However, that being said, I will not be the student that wears the wrong school shirt on campus. I have heard countless complaints about that happening here at USU and I won't be a hypocrite? On the other hand, if and when the U plays USU I will be sporting my blue until further notice.

I am really sad to be leaving behind my great job, and friends and opportunities here in Logan. I have grown to love Logan and call it my home. I dread having to drive down there -and this is coming from the girl who drove on those freeways every day from ages 16-19-. I also realized yesterday as Bart and I were canoeing that nature isn't going to be around the corner anymore. This is also interesting because until about a year ago I didn't really care about nature, but this summer I have been looking forward to becoming a granola-y person.

I am exteremly happy, nervous, aprehensive, excited and stressed. This is such an amazing opportunity for Bart and we had to make the best decision for our family. Logan changed my life and I will always remember the past 2 1/2 years here.
