Someday

Sometimes at work I get really sleepy. I mean REALLY sleepy. I'm not sure. I guess it has something to do with the fact that it's dark outside and every other sane person in the world is sleeping. And then there is me. The crazy who decides that it's okay to work all night long. 

Unfortunately for me, my boss disapproves of sleeping on the job. I guess she expects me to actually take care of the people I'm supposed to be taking care of. I know, weird. So, to combat this awful sleepiness I find things to do. Sometimes I study. Sometimes I make people think I'm even more crazy by doing lunges and such down the hallway. Sometimes I clean. Sometimes I post crazy posts at three in the morning like the one you are reading right now. And sometimes I blog stalk (not sure if there is such a thing but it can't be too different from facebook stalking right?) As I've been trying to stay awake (and I still have three hours left!) I've been looking back at old posts from peoples' blogs that I follow. As I was skimming through my sister in law, Jennifer's blog, I came across this picture. 

I didn't know Andrew when this picture was taken. He had just got home from his mission when this picture was taken. He's shown it to me before, and he told me he was most worried because he had never met his nephew Seth, and he was worried that Seth wouldn't like him. Obviously that wasn't an issue. 

I smiled a really big smile when I saw this picture, and all my coworkers think I'm going crazy. This picture just makes me so excited to have kids! I know Andrew is going to be the most amazing dad ever. And I'm very thankful for family that let us practice on their children first!! Hopefully in the not to distant future we will be having kids of our own and then I'll be able to show off pictures of Andrew being the best dad ever to our  own kids, rather than the best uncle around. 

Happy Anniversary!!

This weekend Andrew and I were lucky enough to celebrate our 1st anniversary!!! Wahoo!! We made it one whole year!! This weekend was fantastic! I had so much fun! We were very smart when it came to planning our wedding over spring break last year. It meant that it fell on spring break again this year as well! And that meant that we got to go to Cali for 4 days and not have to worry about work or school or anything else (almost) for that matter! 

We got to visit the San Diego Temple, which is just as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside. We had so much fun and it is definitely a beautiful temple. Different than what we are used to but still amazing :)

We also went to the beach!! Unfortunately it was pretty chilly most of the time we were there, so these beach excursions weren't for sun bathing. We did have fun walking the beach and looking at all the animals though! We went to La Jolla Cove the first day. That was a cool place but I'm not sure I'd go back.... there were a whole bunch of seals and birds all over the rocks and the shore! It was fun to get to see them so close and watch them but oh man did they STINK!!! It hurt your lungs to breathe in there was so much stench in the air.... definitely not going back. 

We also went to Pacific Beach, and Oceanside Harbor Beach, which we were able to walk to from our hotel. Harbor Beach had an outcropping of rock we walked out on quite a ways out into the sea!!! You could tell it was low tide because of all the clams, or mussels, or what ever the heck they are attached to all the rocks a little ways down. We even saw a couple star fish!!! 

We also visited the Gaslamp Quarter, right in the middle of down town San Diego. What a cool place! Mostly it was a whole concoction of fancy restaurants and just as many bars, but it was still very cool to walk through it and see all the sights and all the people. We also got to visit the Padre's stadium, which is smack dab on the edge of the Gaslamp Quarter. 

For our anniversary we went to dinner at the Joe's Crab Shack, which was also just a walk from our hotel, which happened to sit smack dab on the harbor. 

The view from our table.

And that night we went to WICKED!! Wow that was so much fun!! I would definitely do that again!

We had such a fun time celebrating our anniversary and can't wait for many more!!

Dogs, Dogs, and More Dogs

In the past two weeks my house has gone from housing one dog to housing THREE!!! Yes you read that right, as in tres, trois, tre, 3!! Holy cow! So, You've met Katie

We now also have Reggie

and Julie.

Julie is now ours. One of Andrew's friends had to get rid of her and we decided we could take her... I'm not sure how I let him talk me into things sometimes. But she is adorable! She's also an inside dog and her and Katie are definitely still getting used to each other..... Katie won't be right next to her. At all. So, when I decided to take a nap after work one night and they wanted to nap with me we had to make certain arrangements. Katie slept in the crook of my legs and Julie slept in the crook of my stomach. That dividing line had to be there. If Julie moved Katie would bolt up and not lay back down for a while. 

Katie and Julie are about the same side, although Julie is a bit sturdier. Reggie is a great big boy though!!! He's so big he has to stay outside most of the time. We are just watching Reg until his real parents can get into their house as their apartment doesn't allow pets. 

He gets lonely when the girls have been out playing with him and then come back inside. He will sit by the window and just stare inside. Man it makes me so sad!!!
