Sports Fanatic

Lets get something straight. I don't HATE sports, as I heard my husband tell one of our friends the other day. I don't. I just don't have the attention span to watch them especially on TV. No thanks - I'd rather be slapped by a spoon.

As for live games, I like live athletic events - at least for awhile. I have a major case of Athletic A.D.D. I care more about watching the crowd then the game. I start playing games such as: 'real or fake', 'husband or brother', 'wife or mistress', 'ooh look at _____', or the classic 'don't look now but...'

So really you could say I'm a huge fan of sports. As long as I can see a crowd and you don't mind me saying 'oooh ooh look at that!!' every few minutes.

Am I alone? Who else plays these games?

Someday...

Fred will make an amazing dad. I love seeing him with kids. Our kids will be pretty lucky.

This little man just loves him (but hates me).

Working from Home (er...the Inlaws)

Last week was insane. This week begins our month at the inlaws and my first REAL week of working from home.

Why a month you ask?

Well, my job was nice enough to let me work remotely and since Fred didn't have a job just yet we decided to come spend some quality time with his fam while we could (cough - and not pay rent - cough). So here we are.


Right - smack - dab - in the dirty dirty.


Here it is at the end of the day and what is my assessment of working from home?? eee. Well. it's more productive - probably because it's boring.


(insert that noise that the movies have - like a ripping or eeerrrk)

The above was written on Monday. See below for an update.


Day 3: must have someone to entertain me. please. an 18-month old that doesn't like me yet doesn't count.

I got a package today from work (I nearly skipped to the door and hugged the delivery man) inside was stuff for a project and a surprise my coworker sent. Yep. it's a flask. Perfect for that moonshine (disclaimer: no I won't actually be using it. well maybe I'll try water in there. that could be fun).

I'm still getting all my stuff done BUT I'm bored to tears. I have to take walks to the end of the hallway and back. Or take pictures of myself which leads to thoughts like, 'oh. my. I think I've let myself go.' or 'people are going to think that all you wear is a Gap sweat shirt - wait. is it?' or even 'I bet Fred tells me I'm gay for taking pictures of myself and then posting them online. too bad soo sad. He's stuck with me.'

The perks of working from home?



Please reference the pictures again. yep. I'm still in my PJs and I can bust a move in the kitchen without anyone seeing me.

Still I'm bored. Help!!

Pictures would suggest...

that I often look as though I have a droopy eye. hmm. when did this happen?
Remember the incident? I definitely look a little like the hunchback (because of the eye...not the posture)

Well yesterday we took some Wald family photos (images to come...hint Christina) and once again I questioned that I might indeed have a droopy eye. Sheesh.

Maybe instead of getting sagging skin - my eyes will get saggy. Won't I be a treat for the eyes in a few years!

pictures would also suggest that I have gained some weight. hmm. that won't do either. Anyone know how to get a stress fracture to heal? Mine is back from the Ragnar...

The Move

Well we were in Arizona for about 3 days -
day one was spent unloading our uhaul and reloading it into the exact same trailer type thing (what they call a storage unit) in the 95 degree weather.

day two - we searched for housing. Narrowed our search to our top three and now we can't decide. So looks like we'll just wait until we get back to Arizona. (but for those of you in Logan - we're paying double what we paid there. how awesome is that...yeah).

day three - we headed to St. Louis for Johnathan and Grace's sealing and the beginnings of our month with Fred's family.

However, while we were in Arizona I loved it. I can't wait to get back and settle in.

Thanks Ashley & Tyler and Kecia & Brian for letting us stay at your houses!!

Where's Waldo?

Are we in Utah? Arizona? Missouri? Arkansas?

We're in one of these states although, I'm not sure we know where we are right now!

The Journey

Well we've left Logan. It was really sad for me and I might have teared up a little. Huge thanks to our friends you came to help haul, clean, and shove boxes into vehicles. Good news - somehow we got it all to fit.

We drove down to my parents house where we stayed until Sunday morning so we could do some last minute family time, hangouts, and Utah errands.



Then we left bright and early Sunday morning to head to Pheonix. The drive took us two extra hours with the giant truck and it was a freaking beast to fill up. The greatest victory was the 60 miles of downhill coming out of Flagstaff - that's 60 miles that kept the truck on Full - woot!



But we're here now and its perfect. literally...
