New Post

Doug got me some flowers. There is a before picture of them in our favorite U of U cup. And then an after picture after I arranged them in a jar.

Then here's Doug making Ramen Noodles, I think. (For some reason it started underlining and there isn't a button to make it stop).
Side notes (my computer is wacko and won't turn off italics either):
Can't wait for Thanksgiving break.
(I can't wait to be finished with school period.)
These are the most interesting pictures I could come up with, since some of you have demanded some.
Friday night we went and saw the 6th Harry Potter movie at the dollar theater. The movie didn't start until 10:10 p.m. And there were THE (too bad everything is italicized so you don't get the full emphasis) most annoying girls there. I assured Doug that I was not like that when I was 13.
I haven't had too many more frightening encounters with spiders in the last couple days. I still want to get pest control in here and spray for them though.
We go through cereal pretty fast. We buy 2 bags (one of his kind, and one of mine) each week, and they're usually gone by the time we go shopping again. However, my new breakfast of choice is strawberry poptarts and chocolate milk. So I still have a pretty full bag of Marshmallow Matey's.
At this moment I am procrastinating doing homework. The story of my life.
Doug doesn't have anything to add, and neither do I.

Hope this will suffice for another month.

Nothin' much

Nothing much has happened since the last post. But here are a few:
School started, it stinks.
I got a new job at BYU laundry. It feels like I'm working in a big industrial factory.
Football season started. And I'm actually watching it. Another shock, I'm actually kinda interested in it. Too bad BYU lost so horribly at our first home game (my first live college football game ever).
It's getting colder, which means the Hot Chocolate is making his appearance one again. And now I have awesome Ute mugs to drink it out of (Thanks Sarah and Nate.)
We still don't have callings in our ward... no complaints here.
So life is good, school and work keeps us pretty busy.
More to come when there are actually interesting things to report.

New York

First day:
Went to the Museum of Natural History. That was a lot of fun, I couldn't help trying to find all the spots featured in the movie "Night at the Museum." I got a picture with the Eastern Island Statue

We walked around Central Park for a bit and then went off to find the Hard Rock Cafe. I got the twisted macaroni and it was delicious!



Second Day:
Went to Staten Island on the ferry. Then to Liberty and Ellis Island. We came back to Times Square and walked around and in to the cool stores. Such as the Toys-R-Us, the M&M's store, Hershey's store, etc etc. We ate at TGI Fridays. Yum.

Third Day:
Went to the Metropolitan Museum. We spent a lot of time there. There's just so much to see. I was amazed at all the artifacts, I've seen a bunch of that kind of stuff in text books, it was just so much different seeing it for real. Like the Met is one of those "real" museums where the real stuff is, not just one of those little podunk museums I've been to that have the "fake" cheap stuff. I don't know, it was just cool. After the museum we stopped at a hot dog stnad and got hot dogs. Man they were good! I don't know what spices or whatever they put in them, but it's delicious. We then walked through Central Park, it's so stinkin' big! There's a cool little castle right in the middle of it.
As a side note. It really wasn't that bad staying at a hotel right by the airport. There was a free shuttle to the airport from the hotel, so we'd take that to the AirTrain, which took us to the subway. The subway ride was maybe 30-45 minutes and the air conditioning was great. I'd do it again anytime. Being back in Provo I'm really missing the subway system. It was just so convenient.

New Apartment

This is the view of the kitchen filled with all the great gifts we got from the shower... minus a couple (Thanks Jen and Cath). And then the table we bought from IKEA. It was a great deal, and fun to put together. I convinced Doug to read the directions, and to let me help. Thanks to Cheryl we were able to purchase a new table.

Then the bed and dresser we got from RC Willey. Another great deal. A night stand was included, it's not shown in the pictures because it just doesn't fit in the bedroom. We painted the walls this color, they used to be lime green. That wasn't what we were going for.

Happy Father's Day

Well school is finally over for the summer, and I think I got fairly good grades, especially considering how awful they were last semester. I got put on academic warning for it... oops. Doug has been a good influence on me, he gets good grades, and my competitive nature won't allow me to totally fail. We found a place to live for the fall. It's a really nice apartment, close to campus, and it's right across the street from where Doug works. We decided to just bite the bullet and sign it for July, a lot of places are only renting for July, August contracts are hard to find, and we wanted to secure a place. It will be nice to have the extra month to gradually move the big stuff in as we get it. Plus, the bedroom is lime green, that doesn't really fly with either of us, so we'll be painting that. We got our engagement pictures taken last week, and we're going to get the announcements taken care of this week. We met with a lady yesterday who does the decorations for weddings, and picked out what we wanted. Everything is just coming along nicely.

The Ring

So here's the ring. I had told Doug basics of what I'd like, and he just picked it out. He did an amazing job.

Engagement

It's official. Tell your friends. Lizzie is engaged.
