Big Big Plans

So many people (and by many I mean like five...) have mentioned that I need to update my blog, and that they actually do read it from time to time. I like people to know what is going on in my life, but at the same time I don't. Kinda weird but yeah.

We are moving to Las Vegas at the end of September. We have known this for a while, but I could not write about it because Josh's work was not aware of this until just a few weeks ago and we did not want it getting back to them so that he could work up until we moved. He got an accounting job at BDO Seidman, an auditing firm. We have to stay in Vegas for two years and if we don't like it we can move pretty much anywhere. I am looking forward to moving, even though I will miss my job, our ward, the mountains, grass, family, friends...etc... We are planning on renting for a while, and if we like it we might buy a house since the housing market there is so cheap.

Most of all, I am looking forward to insurance. I want to make and have a baby. Not only that, but I want my teeth cleaned. I haven't been to the dentist since before I was married. That is just nasty! But when you are a student/ poor married couple, teeth aren't really up there on the priorities list.

Still maintaining with the weight stuff. It is hard not eating all of the carbs I want, but it is definitely worth it. New favorites... egg salad with two smashed up saltine crackers mixed in with some tomato soup to accompany it. mmmmmm. Green apples with muenster cheese, Muenster and ham wraps with tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and ranch dressing inside (no tortilla). I have realized that I really like Athenos regular hummus. I love to eat this with carrots, tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and cucumbers. There are really good sugar free Popsicles from Walmart that are amazing as a substitute for ice cream on a hot night. They are the ones that have two sticks and you have to break in the middle. Amazing. I also made spaghetti, but instead of eating it over noodles, I ate the meat sauce over french cut green beans. Really good as well.

Sad story... I really wanted to get some icecream, so I bought the dryers sugar free kind. I sat down with my fork and was eating it out of the carton. I ate about a cup, and put it away. About 20 minutes go by and my stomach starts to hurt, and growl but not in a good way. So I think about it and take a look at the ingredients list on the carton. Right below the ingredients list is a warning that eating more than 1/2 cup can cause a laxative effect. Needless to say, I got a lot of reading done that day in my "personal study". Seriously, making any food that has a laxative effect should be illegal.

Other fun stuff that has been going on...

Mike got some free 311 tickets from his work. These weren't regular tickets, or lawn tickets, these were VIP SUITE tickets. My mom gave the four tickets to Chris and I to take one friend each. So it was me and Bree, and Chris and his gal pal. We were in this fenced in suite that was tiered to be at the same level as the stage, no one blocking the view, like 40 ft from the stage. We had two tables, and folding cushioned chairs that we could put away if we wanted to dance. We sure danced. I am an amazing dancer when it comes to 311 and sublime. We had a waiter that brought us drinks and Nachos. Bree and I bought matching shirts. We had parking that was from a separate VIP entrance, no walking out in BFE. No line to getin to the show, they didn't even frisk me because I was wearing shorts. They had a free VIP dinner. Took all of 2 minutes to get out of the show and out of the parking lot. Most of all the show was amazing. All of these great songs from long ago... and Nick Hexum singing in a wife beader. So happy. I am so glad I got to go with Bree. We had a blast and I am glad it is something I can cling to when I will be far away.

So yeah, I just realized that it is 12:37 am and I have to teach relief society in the morning.

Hope you had fun reading...
