Tribute to MJ


I was sad to hear the passing of Michael Jackson. I mean, what is a childhood without his songs?! I remember several times my sisters turning up his songs and we all danced. Yes, with hairbrushes...we were cool! Turn up your volume to hear some of my fav. songs from the King of Pop! If you are on facebook, look at my videos...my sister Jen, does a great job singing his song "Beat It" hehe!
Tribute to MJ Part II
So to begin, I will start with our night. Spencer and I are saving money by being creative~well hanging out at home! We watched Friends just as we do every night. On the show, Rachel ate a cookie, so at around midnight, I thought hmm I want a cookie (yes, this show influences us in the wrong wayyyy). Now giving me a cookie is like giving me an ounce of alcohol (never tried it, but I have no doubt). I walked over to the computer and turned up my MJ songs from the blog and started dancing. Spencer casually watched until his cookie kicked in and he joined me! It was so much fun! We busted our moves to "Man in the Mirror." I am pretty sure we have a whole routine down (I'm thinking we missed our calling~our parents would be so proud :) AND I am sure MJ had a good smile...did I say smile? I meant laugh! Awhh I love my husband and the crazy, fun things we do for entertainment!

What has the world come to?

Friday night Spencer and I thought we would jump in the truck and head to Smiths to get a Redbox movie. We also brought Pays and Chade along~they needed out of the house as well. We pull into the parking lot and a kid, maybe 18, came up to our window. We rolled it down and he asked if our dogs were shih tzus. He then told us about his shih tzu and even showed us a picture off his phone. After chatting about how great the dogs are, he tells us in a nonchalant way, that his car ran out of gas down the road just a little bit ago and he's trying to gather up change to help him out. It seemed harmless and we gave him a buck. Then seconds after this kid left, a Smith's worker came to our window and asked if he was asking for money. He then proceeded to tell us that kid has been there all day doing it and he then went and told him to leave. We then watched him walk across the street to Albertsons where I'm guessing he did it there. Being the natural detective that I am, I said lets go see if his car is where he said it was. Well, nope, and thank goodness we were only out a buck. It is so sad how some people go to extreme measures in these difficult times. I guess that's when you tell the true measure of a person.

At a crossroads...

We are going to make our blog private...again. I took it off so my parents could get into it (not quite tech savy) and I forgot to put it back. Spencer and I have reached a crossroads in our life and as things come our way I would prefer to share details in private. If you already gave me your address, great, but if you haven't please do so. I would love to see who else is looking at our blog. Thanks guys...and girls:)

~Busy, Busy, Busy~


For more than a week, Spencer and I have been running ragged. This past weekend we went to Idaho to pack up the rest of our stuff from our cute 'lil duplex in Idaho. We laughed when we saw how big, nice, and cute our first home was. It was so much fun living in Idaho! We miss it! Anyway, sorry for the rambling, we spent all weekend loading it up and then when we came back here, we had to unload it. We had fun though. We find that we can entertain ourselves quite easily. We also found that we would give any other couple a run for their money when it comes to stuff like the Newlywed Game. We seriously know each other so well! This week I have been helping Spencer with work. He is a manager over a company and today I had to help him install insulation for one of his workers. Talk about blood, sweat, and tears...Okay, maybe not tears, but it was hard work. First off, I was dressed in my husband's dirty, baggy, work clothes along with my bottom scrub pants from school (I knew they would be put to good use). I also had to wear goggles and a mask. It was an awful feeling. Then I had to load huge bags of insulation that weighed a ton into some machine. Spencer said it didn't go fast, but he was wrong. I think he was trying to make me feel better about working for him, but once the machine started, I knew he was a big, fat liar! I worked my butt off~too bad there is no pictures of me covered in sweat and insulation with my eyes bright red from irritation~just this picture that Spencer had to get of my arm. Both my arms are so sore! I am sure the home owners had a good laugh at me, probably because they watched this crazy girl running in the back of a truck with insulation blowing everywhere. Well, there's an update. Can't wait to be a nurse and I feel soooo bad for the people that work under Spencer. Now it is midnight and I still have to study. It has been a long day!
