multiples in one day!

i find little time to do this blog business so i take advantage of the chances i get to keep updated. but i feel bad putting one huge long one cause then noone likes to read it!

One day driving home from work i passed this house that had a huuge snow fort out front and i was hooked. i wanted to build one. so last big storm betty and i spent about an hour in our back yard where it will be shady all season long piling up the snow. it was a saturday night, and the next day after church we were napping and heard screams and running little kids. Betty thought they were on our fort, but i was out of it/ didn't care. we wake up and go look and it's demolished! it was seriously half as high and we were very upset. So Betty's plan is to either put up a sign that it's for scientific experiments, cuss out their parents, or we could use michael's idea and put rocks or barbed wire inside the snow next time so they know not to mess with us anymore! haha

so evil... but oh so good. we are yet to build it back up.. we need some more snow.

twas good...

The birthday went really well.. Betty was very thoughtful and kind to plan it all. Although there was some last minute running for the party we enjoyed being with old friends. and when i say old i mean as of 1.5 months ago when we got married.
We had a bunch of people over and snacked on a bunch of healthy stuff since one of my buddies is vegan. Also played loaded questions which got a bit dirty at a couple points. Lots of fun though. This monday we played again with a couple people we home teach, no fun compared to two nights earlier!
We also watched transformers which has become one of our favorite movies, even though it's so long. Betty and i felt important and somehow cool to have had my buddy Trent spend the night over here on our couch. haha... we're pathetic.
anyways.... we leave in the morning tomorrow (thursday) for houston. we're excited to have a vacation again. we are too spoiled. real life will hit one day. we'll be gone for one week to have an open house and then spend christmas in the warmth.

turning 23...

this week has been really good. Betty and I say our prayers thanking our Heavenly Father for our jobs and the ease they make of our lives. We really believe that that has made my week incredible.
I have walked home everyday with over one hundred dollars in 5 hours or less. Easily the best paying job around and making the beginning of our marriage less financially stressful.
hopefully we get the hook up as well on the gifts in Houston, that should help out a bit as well since i'll be full time at school next semester with much less time to work. But Betty will be doing something she will hopefully like more.
Not bragging, but just expressing gratitude for an incredible job opportunity.

Also, i took my bosses wife to the post office in their brand new car for only about 40 minutes and he's like "don't worry i'll take care of you" so i get back and he tells me that he will offer Betty and I ANYTHING we want from the restaurant to eat and he'll take care of it. To say the least, we have our meal planned for tomorrow. My birthday meal will be about $80, and we don't have to do a thing, just sit down, order, and feast!

I'm excited for the transformers party, it will be fun to be with friends. I love when Betty does little things, they speak loudly to me. I think my language is "words of gratitude" and followed up with "acts of service" or whatever they are called.
