Fishy Laundry.

I know, it's been too long since my last post, but really...that's how boring it's been around here. Brennen and i have been working our tails off both at work and school.

We've joined a softball team too. Ha. Funny story about that. Our first game with our team was last Wednesday (about a week ago. The team had already played two games without us.) and we got there just in time to be thrown into the outfield. Well, I got to play catcher. I was about 4 feet away from home plate and the pitcher says, "you can move up, you know!" So i move up about 8 inches. Then i hear, "...you can move up some more!" by now i'm about 2.5 feet away from the plate and ready to get pelted in the face by the batter! I would rather not have reconstructive surgery on my face people! Not to mention that the next 2 days my legs KILLED from squatting behind the plate. LAME. I could barely walk down stairs or downhill for that matter, and my legs felt like wiggly jello every time i took a step. Tomorrow: round 2.

Brennen's had a lot of free time this semester which is unusual. he spends lots of time working and doing stuff with friends. Yesterday, Memorial Day, they tried to go four-wheeling, but it was freezing and pouring rain all afternoon.

I have 4 tests this week. That's right. 4. Well, 3 because i took one already today, and let me tell you, it was a doozy! It's for this class that i HAVE to take to graduate. DUMB. Luckily my wonderfully intelligent husband can help me out here, and that's just what he did last week. I've never really studied for a test until now. I got into the Testing Center and just about cried through the first 20 questions because i was sure i was going to fail. But, i came out with an 82%! I think I almost cried then too. Sent up a few prayers of thanks and some thanks to my personal tutor as well. The other tests i'm not so concerned about. Brennen on the other hand has more than 100% in all of his classes so far.

Another funny story, you ask? Well, Ok. You talked me into it. Brennen's got low HDLs (that's the good cholesterol in your body). So he takes all sorts of stuff to try and get them up since the doctor didn't think he needed statins (medication) for it. So some of the stuff he takes is Niacin and Fish Oil. So the other day i'm doing laundry and the washer kinda smells like fish. Weird. I go home and close a dresser drawer and it smells like fish. Pretty weird. I put on a clean jacket. it REEKS of fish!!! I'm gagging on this smell as i tell Brennen that something "fishy" is going on. Ha. He gives me this look of enlightenment and says "Oh, I know what happened." And suddenly I do too. He put a fish oil capsule in his pocket and then washed his pants. And now i have an entire basket of laundry that smells like fish, and i don't even know if i can get it out or not! I mean these clothes SMELL. and i don't even like fish.

We have way too much time on our hands...

So this week has been full of fun stuff like tearing apart a motorcycle. Here's what's going on. Brennen's only got 9 credits this semester. NINE. pft. well with his nine credits, he has LOADS and LOADS of free time. Which is weird, because i never get to see him while school's in session. Well, he's been riding his bike, you know, for like two days, because there's only been two good riding days this year, and has noticed that his clutch isn't working right. SO. He decided to try and fix it. He drained it or something and that didn't work very well. So he ordered some parts online. In the meantime, he's taking apart more stuff and doing more stuff to it....I don't even know! Ha. He can't do anything until those parts come in today and tomorrow. What do I do in my spare time, you ask? NOTHING. The good thing about that though is that i'm going to the temple pretty much every week. That's definitely a good thing. Other than that i'm just sleeping my life away. Blah. I made my schedule so that i could work during the days, and my boss just won't schedule me..during the day. So i've got all this time i really don't know what to do with. I guess i could work on making my pajama pants. I've had the fabric and pattern for a while. Maybe that'll be my next project.

Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY MOMMY!!!! I love my mommy! and all she does for me! I miss her terribly even though i just live 30 minutes away. She is always there for me and is willing to help me with whatever i need. Ich Liebe Dich.

Lost Motivation

I have officially lost all motivation to blog. Poop. Well, maybe i can get it back up again? Haha. We'll see. happenings here? Wind for the 523 day in a row. I knew it was a bad idea to curl my hair today.. Ha. Well, some good things that have been happening: Brennen came home from Idaho Falls one day with this:

A brand new $150 helmet. ("It's ok, it was $100 off")

I made sticky buns the other day and they were WONDERFUL.
The only thing is though, DON'T make them in a bundt pan. All the sticky oozes out the bottom. I pretty much ate ALL of them... Sick. Now i get to work extra hard at the gym. Yay. And i miss my newly married friend Melissa who is living in Indiana right now :(. She needs to come back. And a friend of mine just got called to the Louisville, Kentucky mission, which is the mission that Brennen went to. That was pretty cool. well, that's about all for today. Loves.
