"gud nus fo ah man"- good news for all men.

i need to post a picture of our bike baskets up hurrr.

i also need to be doing my anthropology class and my marriage class (WHAT?)
work.


i also need to shower and curl my hair

and
i'd rather be on here telling you all about life.

we went to the gym yesterday (together bahhh ill never get over saying tha)

and i had a really good time in spin
people say dan always plays the same music but i disagree and i think he has excellent taste as well as a good demeanor for teaching.

i want a bike really badly
and ive promise brandon when he graduates i'll buy him a full home gym outfit (which, frankly is going to be rather expensive as brandon hates those doohickey thingamabobbers that are "full gym" sets in one piece that are so popular. (ie/ bowflex etc.)


hopefully the spin bike will make it in there somewhere...

(it has to otherwise in ten years ill be old and fat)

(especially with the way we've been eating)
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, at the shock (and slight pleasure, and maybe relief? i cant lie) of my own husband i get to say that I LOVE TO COOK. it is a pleasure to run my own home and clean and cook and ignore my online classes.

yesterday i made pork loin in a stew that slow cooked for 6 hours and angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries.

unfortunately i forgot that... red sauce stuff that all shortcake has and... fail.
but
it was still nummy.

and i am so proud of myself.


im getting bruises all over myself and i think brandon and i tussle in the night because we aren't used to the queen bed yet- the best part is that i dont really wake up. i sleep like the dead.

which is a christmas miracle for my mood because since he's been gone, i got up like once every hour to check the house because i was so scared at living alone.


pathetic.

but true.

my favorite
is that brandon remembers almost everything he learns
(he has an amazing brain)

and so sometimes i have him just talk to me in creole (he served his mission in africa on the ivory coast and ghana) and
i love love love it.

we are excited to be going back to rexburg (who knew?)
next weekend we are planning on going up there to look at housing and find a place for falllll (yesss!)

we are sad to l eave most of our furniture behind (we probably will live in a little bitty)
just as long as i can hook up our washer and dryer.

i HATE doing laundry somewhere besides my home (and i always have A LOT of it)

its weird.

and everyone can see your delicates.

blehg

well, on to the day.

brief thoughts:

"If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree." ~Jim Rohn (thank you lauren merk you are a font of knowledge)

(after brandon sat down and tried to explain diagramming english sentences this is how i feel)

the surest way to unlearn something properly is to try to teach it.


if you aren't confident in your subject
you probably shouldn't teach it.

which is why i think teachers are ever increasingly dependent on books instead of their own minds.


(he will be a marvelous teacher- already he has taught me so much. this thought wasn't directed at him)
