Apples, Apples and more Apples.

Well I cannot even tell you how many apples we got off our tree. I know how cool is it that we rent and have our own apple tree. Anyway we went ahead and picked all the apples off our tree. Who would have thought that a little apple tree could produce so many apples, it did. I had already been spending my spare time peeling, coring and slicing apples to dehydrate. Now I know why my mom never did this, it is a lot of work for something that gets eaten so fast, not only that but it takes so long. I would have made applesauce or even apple pie filling but someone doesn't like any of those things so dried apples is what we have. Like I said I've been doing this for quite some time( like 2 weeks) then to pick all the apples and find out that I still have 4.5 bags left to do. I was so happy that Grandpa & Grandma Johnson wanted some and that Bryce wanted some as well. I know it takes away from my food storage but I don't know how much more I can take. If anyone in eastern Idaho would like a bag of apples let me know I'm willing to part with one.

Been a long time!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. I guess I've been a little busy. I'm busy working for my Aunt Sharon, doing some buying and accounting things for her. Since I've been working for her a lot of my other hobbies and projects have been put on hold. But I have done some fun things as well, such as go to Phoenix, AZ with Aunt Sharon. It was a lot of fun but I also did a lot of work. We stayed really busy for those four days, even though we stayed at the Hyatt in Scottsdale we really didn't utilize the resort like we should have. But we did see the pool for a few hours, we watched 2 shows by Spain the Band. They were really good, really enjoyed them. We were also able to get a massage, even though I think I would have been better off not getting one. The therapist that I had did more harm than she did good. I had a hard time sitting and walking for the rest of the trip. Anyway since then I've been doing a lot of work, spending lots of time at the temple. I forgot that Mitch and I went on a camping trip to Salmon. We tried to catch some steel-head (that's a fish) but we didn't catch any. It was a lot of fun to go up there with Mitch's family, could have done without the snoring which came from one of Mitch's grandparents but they were  very generous to have let us stay with them. I've also been running erands and finally setting up my house like I should have 1 1/2 months ago. It's taken me so long. But this is better than it was when we lived in Rigby. We had been there for 6 months and didn't have anything on the walls. We're real close to having our pictures on the wall. Maybe I'll even go and have a few of our wedding pictures printed. Been married for 1 1/2 years and the only picture we have from our wedding day was given to us from our photographer(it was even framed). Ha ha how horrible I have so many ideas just not enough enthusiasm. Hopefully I'll get in gear and get it done. Maybe I'll be better for the rest of the month at posting. Sorry Don't have any pics at this time maybe I'll find some and put them up later.

Our Vacation!!!!

Well we went on vacation this past week and it was lots of fun and very busy. I'm so glad we were able to go but I am also very glad that we are now home so that I can get back to looking for a job and enjoying my time before I do start working.
On our 1st day this is what we did.

Spent 3.5 hours in Reno Airport

After spending about 6 hours total on airplanes or in airports we finally arrived in SEATTLE, WA. We spent some time with our friends and then we went here....

  

Where I watched my first major league baseball game to bad the Mariners lost.

 I know it's a cheesy smile but it's what I was giving at the moment.

This is what we did on day 2.

Washington Lake

After we went to Washington Lake we had lunch and then we headed over to see

this who would have thought that going to Washington we would see this lady.
We also went to Pike Place Market where we did this.

Gum Wall under Pike Place Market

Yes we each chewed a piece of gum and stuck it on the wall. Just to warn you it was really smelly down there.

I hope we all know what this is

We also went over to the Space Needle, no we didn't go up because we didn't think $25 per person was worth it so but we got to take a pic and go into the gift shop. After we went there we went to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and that was fun.

On day three we spent the day outside and went on a hike and had a picnic lunch. This was the first place we went for a hike and saw that the trail was closed.

Snoqualmi Waterfalls

After going there we went over to ...

Twin Falls, WA

I'll admit when they were talking about it I was a little skeptical because how could they have a Twin Falls like the one in Idaho. Any way it was such a nice hike and having lunch with this view was so great.

So glad we were able to find the waterfall

That night there was a party which we attended and then on Saturday I attended a baby shower for my friend and Mitch went bowling. After that we attending another party and it was very fun and enjoyable. We were able to spend our time getting to know our friends families and see where they came from and why they are they way they are.
THANKS NEIL AND EMILY FOR THE INVITE AND TAKING US TO ALL OF THOSE PLACES. WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

Back From Vaca more info in the morning!!!!

Well we are finally back from vacation. I'm really glad we're home, it was really fun and I have lots of pics to share with you tomorrow if I can remember to post them. I'll let you all know what we did and how fun it was.

Long Day and No Ball Game

So I've worked on my quilt yet again today want to see what it looked like earlier today, well here it is...

It's starting to come together, I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing what the final product will look like. I'm really excited to get done with it and have the finished product.  We had been planning on going to the baseball game tonight and it would have been lots of fun. But we didn't get to go because the Man had to drive to Jackson and didn't get home in time to go. So what a bummer, we were going to take my Grandma and she was really excited to but the Man was so tired we just couldn't go.

More Quilting

So I know that I still haven't posted any pics of my car but I just haven't taken any and we'll see when it actually happens. Hopefully this next week my fingers are crossed.

Going on, I've still been working on my quilt and this is what it looked like as of last Friday.

This is not what it looks like currently but maybe I'll take a pick when it is laid out tomorrow, it is really coming along if you ask me. I think it is going to look very elegant and classy. Looking forward to also seeing the end and see what it really ends up looking like.

On another note, still don't have a job that I want, still looking though. I'm really looking forward to having a real job not just a job to get me to the next step. This is the next step. Oh on top of that I will be sending out my graduation announcements soon. Don't know how soon, I can never seem to get things out on time hopefully this will be better than the thank you cards that were supposed to be sent out to those who gave us wedding presents.

Oh, so excited that JP won on the Bachelorrette. Don't think that I would have watched another season if he had lost.

Hope your Tuesday will be as good as mine!!!

Graduation It Really Happened!!!

Just so you all know I really Graduated!!! NO JOKE!! Want to see.....

See Look Me and the Man

Once Again

All my siblings came to celebrate!!!! LOVE THEM!!!

Look Mom and Dad and Grandma Too!!! 

I'm a little sad that I didn't get pictures of the other people that came to support me, Doug and Becky, and Julie too!! I sure am glad I have great in-laws that are so supportive.

Just let me tell you this they all sure were proud, lets just admit it I was a little proud too. Now that I'm done I don't really have much to do in terms of work so I've been spending time with my Grandma. This is what I've been doing.

Just one of each block that I had finished.

So I've been working on this black, white, and red quilt I've been working pretty hard on it the last 3 days. I am 2 blocks short of having done 44 blocks in total, I'm going to try and keep posting on my progress and all the other things that have been going on.

Oh and maybe I'll take a pic of the car so that you can see what it looks like. Just so you know I was skeptical about the car but pretty sure I'm in love with it now that I've been driving it around.

Signing off...............
