BABY!... (no, not that kind)

We want a little kitty or puppy SO bad, but our apartment doesn't allow them. It's so sad, i want a little cuddle buddy... since we don't have a child of our own yet, and aren't planning on it for a while, i feel like there is a void in my cuddle-lovin! So the other night, Patrick went to take out the trash, and when he got close to the dumpster, the shadow moved... and answer to our prayer ( not really) it was a little kitten. he and his 2 brothers were scrounging for food. We named him.... I know that's bad, and one day he just won't show up, but for now.... he is our Midnight. We sat out by the dumpsters on a curb and fed them tuna fish. We have been slowly trying to coax them into liking us, and trusting us. Patrick is such a natural at it. I swear if he was reincarnated he would be a cat! He is so patient with them, he watches them like a father, making sure that all of them get some food. They are our little surrogate children for now. Patrick is going to be such a good dad! I can't wait till we have a baby of our own! The other night we were making pizza, and well, I need to clean out the oven apparently because something was burning and filled the house with smoke. So we hurriedly opened the front and back door to try to get the smoke out before the alarm went off. after about 4 minutes, I went to shut the front door, and Midnight had walked all the way to our door and was just kinda looking in... that's a long way for a kitty. He must have been really hungry, because he never ventures out from the shadows. We fed him. After he ate he ran away, but changed his mind halfway through. It was like he knows he should run, but he wasn't sure why, because we have never hurt or scared him before. He ended up crossing the parking lot and hiding in the safety of the shadows and just watched us. I want him! he is so cute and small. Oh, sigh. One day!

So Midnight is now our little baby, maybe he will trust us enough to let us pet him?!?!

Can't wait for the Fourth of July Weekend! I will mainly be studying for a math test and doing an ISys project, but at least no school or work... and FIREWORKS!! YAY! I can't wait.. maybe we will do a little grillin too!!

One down... how many more to go???

Well, Spring Semester finally ended!! And can I tell ya, WOW finals weeks was LONG. I had to do a group project for my History final, which of course I did practically all by myself because I actually CARE about my grade! lets just say by the end of the week I was so stressed out, and had not slept enough that my left foot twitched constantly for about 3 days... which didn't help the whole sleeping thing! But we ended the semester pretty well; Pat got all A's and I got an A in guitar, a B+ in History and a B in New Testament. I am so glad we did well this semester

So I started the Pre-requisites for the English program, and WOW did I have an experience. So, I like English...but I don't think I want to do it as a profession! So I decided to switch things up a bit. I decided to just go for it... I am going to try to get into the Business school here at BYU, I will be taking other classes that count toward a major, as a back up plan- just in case!

But for now I am working on the classes I need to get into the school. I think I CAN do well, as long as I actually TRY! (what a concept... right?) So this semester I am taking Algebra, reviewing for Calculus next semester, and I am taking an Isys class with Pat. It's fun to be in the same class, except his style of learning is a bit different than mine. He likes to comment A LOT about things... and now that i am sitting next to him he decides to share these wonderful tidbits of information with me. I don't mind, except i lose track of what the teacher is saying... great! But I really like the class so far. Who knows maybe I will go into Isys?!?!?

So today I took my first Algebra test... got a 100% on it woooo hoooo!!!! Never in my LIFE have I gotten a 100% on a math test, I am pretty excited!!!!

maybe just maybe I could do this! it will take a lot more time to complete my college career, but if i actually come out of it with something I like, and am good at, it will be worth it. I keep telling myself it's better to try and fail, than to not try at all!!!

Hope ya'll are doing wonderful! Enjoy the summer!!

~~SUMMER~~

So today after work I went to the pool for the first time!! Summer is officially stared! I LOVE the summer! I am going to spend ANY extra time this summer at the pool!! I just have to find that extra time because I will still be working and going to school!

OH and guess what?!?!?! I got a B+ on my History Midterm! YAY Being married really helps the grades because you become a loser and never go out! :)

So we decided to get rid of our cable it is so LAME that Utah doesn't have Verizon FIOS yet, because we LOVED that. But we were NOT impressed with DISH at all!! So we decided to try out Netflicks. it streams right into our XBOX and it has been awesome! We get the DVDs in the mail, but we also have instant movies and TV shows streaming, so I can watch pretty much anything I want! YAY

Patrick's favorite part of this is that in order for it to go through our XBOX we had to get XBOX live... so he is playing HALO online with all the rest of the nerds! :)

Hope ya'll are having a wonderful summer

make the most of it!!!

Michael and Aubrey Lydiksen

Today Michael and Aubrey were sealed for Time and all Eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. The ceremony was beautiful, and I am so happy that I have a new sister that is just so wonderful!

A little catch up

So this is what happens when you wait to do laundry for like.... well..... ENTIRELY too long!!!

Keep in mind this is a king size bed full of clothes. I hate laundry!

Well, anyway I am sick today... have been for about a week, the stomach flu is a killer! But so today I have been sleeping, watching movies and doing laundry. Well, maybe DOING laundry is not the right word, I have been switching the laundry... folding is a different story!

LOST tomorrow

Michael's wedding in a week!!!

Rain

So it's raining today. usually this doesn't bother my- i actually like the rain... but I got dressed cute today and now I have to go trudging outside on campus. Oh well! i took my History midterm.(just finishes, now i'm sitting in the library trying to avoid doing homework) I hope I did OK, I'm nervous. I think I have done well on all my essays though, so hopefully it will even out!

Tonight is the last REAL episode of LOST and then the season finale... gasp what am i going to do with myself?

So I would like to start suggesting good books that I read to you.
