Adios!

Dear Sandy Roommates,
I am loving my new place. I have a bathroom with no mold, an outlet in the actual bathroom, and I'm rid of annoying things like the following:

A note left on the mirror the morning after my home teachers left at 10:15.
"Frizz, can we please have guests in the upstair living room after 9:30 pm? All of the sound carries straight into my room making it really hard for me to sleep. Also, it's really awkward when I need to use the restroom and get ready for bed in the bathroom. I need to be able to use the bathroom and come out in my pj's without guys being there. Can we just keep guests upstairs at night? Thanks!"

The things I decided would be best left unsaid in response to that note:
I'm sorry that you NEVER have anybody over to visit except your mom (I'm not kidding).
Buy a pair of earplugs.
The only guests that I have that comes over other than the hometeachers is my fiancé, and he is not checking you out in your pj's, trust me.
Don't put your pj's on until you have returned to bedroom maybe?
There are three girls upstair that I would be disturbing rather than just one downstairs.
My big screen is in the basement living room.
Etc., etc., etc.

Here's another little treat. She emptied a roll of toilet paper that I had bought and then doesn't replace it on the roller but gets her own and sticks it in her drawer like so:

Lo siento amiga, it's cool, I'll pay to wipe your little hiney and then when that is all gone I'll just drip dry while you hoard your new roll in your drawer. Ridiculous and silly. I pity the people that had to live with her in the college scene. I loved the majority of my BYU roommates but living in this house made me appreciate them all so much more!!

Mile Markers

Sheesh!!! It's been a while!!

There has been lots going on since I last blogged, clearly, I missed the holiday portion of blogging, hopefully I can go back and fix that, in the meantime, here is an update of why it's been so busy.

The day after Christmas I traveled to California to see Brock and his family. We took our engagement pictures, hung out and flew back. It was a super short trip but still productive and lots of fun.

Two days later, we drove to St. George for a day for the blessing of Baby Emma. She is such a cute little baby. We babysat her for an hour and she cried for a straight 45 minutes of that. Like, screamed. Poor thing. After the blessing we drove back up to Salt Lake.

Two days after that, we took off to Rexburg. We drove up on Tuesday Jan 3, got him all settled in at his cousins' house and then the following morning I dropped him off at class and came back to Utah. On that drive I had no idea what was in store, I still don't know if I really do.

Two days after that, Brock drove back down to Utah. His cousins offered to pay the gas and let him bring their truck if he'd pick up a freezer for them and a bookshelf from Ikea. He left and drove back to Rexburg on Sunday, that was a lot harder than leaving him for just two days.

We didn't see each other all week and then I drove up here last night since I have the holiday weekend off and he doesn't have school.

So, there you have it, lots of traveling back and forth going on!! Looks like that's how it will be for the next few months while we are living in separate states. Let me give a word of advice to any future engaged people....don't do long distance. It has only been a week and a half and I already hate it. But, if you have to do it, just try to take it one day at a time and be patient.

And learn to love the mile markers that countdown getting closer to the one you love.
