This was a huge project, but it was totally worth all of the hard effort we put into it. This is what the couch used to look like.... and then the final piece....after a <strong>LOT</strong> of sewing and building. I sewed all of the pillows, cushions, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">actual</span> fabric that is covering the couch. Nick built the ottoman, and did all of the stapling of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">fabric</span>, and putting all of the couch pieces together. We made a great team, and it was a lot of work, about 3 weeks of work, but it was worth it!!!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376929703399395554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFI83iNXS9CSY470ghanCOvtjN3fSZc3Os0qiaReWAt4c_IeECs_0TIkAnEHvacTBxHsWA-038sqpBWpraMZsj-GnoDhP9oR_UYedfjB1ZLOJfkWcxHXsgstGZzM1TaAJsF4aIwcL6b8NU/s320/09012009+life+138.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376929690647226850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jWsRarnr82jKipkra0srI2iChjYrj8X11YDlWPJoUpwAsh-iuLTGge26Ec-Q8PpgaKkK0Zf_-wxDNCSPCi29pN0h7WOJN8A7z-4U5kmgyEcL-u9GyDI3SILtGQfu3Ur2z65d1L1_B01N/s320/09012009+life+137.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376929726267121378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLfCXf4gj-7qbb32F7i7dcXM_BzZIHN_X0oNDAunMcTsQiVA-HxtmZc4DnF3n6xewI19MrN1qu_KInl9rvZvgXfB0xPBFi6eTPVA4yB0LxGCorZUmGRbzvqIc19euHcGB2sHPmYWj8tyxy/s320/09012009+life+153.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376929709576567346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD55NI3qVYRPU5AFMrmUTW1BgbIF4Wjbs0j0UeU2KTfphTTNM-tJg81nkQJLuyx-ZFLvUdbs-VezM6MU63tkPhM4h8kPlz6gWW912fVi4KzQe_FHjVDChjZkHS528srp2dcrWraANCcIKb/s320/09012009+life+028.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376929718205158514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIuo4I70vtjgd1DK_-JKO7PikLB8BF2lBdKFovbbK17ti0Qbs0hkLQt_La0w8xJHUAerm2pLaZev1okU2cmgcC6vAZd56J3duFHAQ9KuVyejk_qr4iEt50f5rARSALJdH2ygkAZid4drjr/s320/09012009+life+029.JPG" /></span>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540632677080990054noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321754921096555031.post-20493029929830180142009-01-26T07:09:00.000-08:002009-01-26T07:39:24.653-08:00Hey so i am so sorry that i <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">truly</span> am bad at writing new post all the time. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">BUT i</span> am writing one now!! So school has started and i am running around like crazy but i am loving it of course. I started the dance major classes this semester and i am so excited to be doing this major, i am having such a great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">experience</span>. I am taking dance history which is very entertaining and educational. I have actually come to know who Mia <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Michaels</span>, Brian Friedman, and Wade Robson are. I only had heard of the last name prior to this class. If anyone knew these and thinks i am crazy for not knowing, i know, i know, i was way out of the loop. My teacher would say things in class, like, .... blah, blah, blah... Mia <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Michaels</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">choreography</span>....blah, blah... and they says well we all know who Mia <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Michaels</span> is so i don't need to go into that... and that is when it hit me that i didn't know very much about choreographers and dancers today or in history!! So for those of you who don't know Mia <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Michaels</span> she was ( and maybe still is i don't know <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">cuz</span> i don't get any channels on my TV) a judge for so you think you can dance...<br />she is on the far right....<img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 390px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.tvguide.com/images/pgimg/so-you-think-dance90.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">YeAh</span>!! I had no clue. Anyway school is going good and i am having a great time. I am in adv. clogging and it is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">kickin'</span> my butt. I really like my teacher though he is amazing....I found this video of him on you tube clogging and it was posted about a year ago.... I know i figured once you hit you tube you are like famous right??He is the taller one...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1RYeostZOE&feature=channel_page">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1RYeostZOE&feature=channel_page</a><br /><br /><br />Then i am taking ballet, and Jazz. Both of which i love. Ballet is good for me, I am learning all the good <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">technique</span> i should have learned <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">forever</span> ago... So nick is doing well too, he is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">workin'</span> hard with about a 40-45 hour work week and going to school full time! He is mostly taking generals right now, but he does it all at night time so that he can work during the day. He is gone almost <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">every night</span> now for school, except <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">fridays</span>!! I love my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">fridays</span> now and i really do cherish them, it is valuable <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Nick</span> and me time because we are both so busy... Well anyways everything is going <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">ok</span> and we are just super busy. I am working a few jobs this school year. I still work at the dental office assisting on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Tuesday</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">and</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Thursday</span> mornings, and then painting for the scenic painting drama department at school the next play is gonna be good. It is called burdens of the earth and it is about Joseph Smith in the liberty jail. A must see if you are up here at school. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Then</span> i am also doing the waitress thing on the weekends. Which is going AMAZING!!! the past three <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Saturdays</span> I have made a hundred dollars each night. It is such a blessing for us right now, because being in school the money is short:) <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Well</span> ill try to be better at posting on this.

Here is some pictures of our shopping experience, and the computer actually set up in our now clean office. ( i refused to set up the computer until we had re- organized the office, because it was just pretty much a storage room for nick's hunting stuff which was everywhere.....)<br /><br /><div><div><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrnrCl04Vpc3K4VV8BpSDTcWQqTivlf3WyYymHA6wkk_ijvGeHjcwlP2_NRQqXO6itnVkSlNcGGPYz6NvfaZaG-qQ1xESnyJyi5n2DUo_tiV-iKdMkpUCeeEP3ItPKbf5UeRclFamMOJyl/s1600-h/Amanda's+camera+117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284348613712290530" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrnrCl04Vpc3K4VV8BpSDTcWQqTivlf3WyYymHA6wkk_ijvGeHjcwlP2_NRQqXO6itnVkSlNcGGPYz6NvfaZaG-qQ1xESnyJyi5n2DUo_tiV-iKdMkpUCeeEP3ItPKbf5UeRclFamMOJyl/s200/Amanda's+camera+117.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284348115642857826" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0W_LQAelHz0jFKXTBelTgZNnMO8SbUtoxdbse8KMm3kMXPBkdWqYVlONtDgAwGUNLCzI3rAMp-OBNMggsM_S-7T4I8SberSuk7ml6n2JjNw2l0CVckBJM9ja2-z4PCZIWTeHqxCUvxCd/s200/Amanda's+camera+119.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284340358015694402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvdlV0ecRN6mese9bLZRHaVqMxaZs-wQe92VVkmoMnzy3TC5fa8w4JFWHHaULwM0Rlmulj9BKWYCwT32wW9gb5uZcpVn-FvjeOmZRaVhMpfvOy7cMBodxJk-4mQ2Vzz3heKZrT5bb0QuY/s320/Amanda's+camera+120.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284340830841285698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDE49shkCDDiBDgyj1SJ8j3j8VMFW9LM40CbaM9YOGGiSgWYtagnLOFgu3ZwEUVf5d5APRgu1OXfbPHKm9tcruh4yqgIewIQFJnbQ-yQmXHVzVZz9Vh0CEu-7yhaoRJWHLzUYb0oQ6n_Jo/s320/Amanda's+camera+199.JPG" border="0" />Anyway so we ended up getting a nice Christmas tree. It was more $$$$ than we expected, but i guess that is what we get for living in Idaho and trying to get a <em>oregon</em> looking tree right? So we went on Saturday the 13th and drove around tree hunting. We had originally planned on going out to cut one down but it was blizzarding and we went with plan 'B', the lots on in the grocery store parking lots...... well crazy as it may seem, rexburg didn't have any of those... so we decided to drive to a gas station that we had seen selling them between rexburg and rigby. So we drove up and looked around. This is what we found... well this isn't the exact tree but this is what it looked like...I MISS OREGON TREES!!!!!!!<br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284344612900075474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy9D_sqQXhNGo-vu6iosGETv8fpKaxkt5umkQdqXzwFLXofb1nLDCs9ByUsnONUVVv3ETUzI3_T_fMenuopDQE_eHkWXBzua0_mk64KKZhlR_Zlcvim7Lr0OmDlroFlF3c5Tl7uL0YvVM0/s320/Charlie_Brown_Christmas_tree.jpg" border="0" />So we were like, well there really isn't much out there so these really are not too bad right? so lets go find out how much they are. We went inside to ask the guy and he told us it was 25 for the shorter ones and 35 or so for the taller ones!!!! WE though he was kidding at first because seriously these trees looked like branches that were just cuts off of a big tree that you would see in my back yard in Oregon.... and they wanted 35$$ for the branches that fell so freely in my parents back yard... i laugh and the guy looked a little offended, we just told him we were used to Oregon trees and that this was not something we were used to calling' Christmas trees'. Don't get me wrong we were nice, but this guy was a little older gentleman that reminded me a lot of scrooge... well kinda. He went on to tell us that those tree's were amazing for Idaho and we were not going to find anything better. Anyway the other guy working the counter followed us out and told us about a place we could go to get a better cheaper tree. So we went to the place he told us, and the lady went on to tell us that they only had 4 left and they were little guys, they looked kinda like this:<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284345824964900226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF7D20pmSvqeEG2qdxxA7fN8vYS1R3NPCFTlcduYgSHr0GH5seECTjO_XTGk_zddpd4vIUcTcoZpK4LFR-hJnASbwZP7J5QX2fCL-u8BW9oyAWL8qDjR4dfWRQsMshkYWDhJYnDR8SIpV3/s320/christmas-tree.jpg" border="0" />So we laughed when she told us 40 $$$$ Well to make a long story short we ended up paying about 35 $$ for this tree:<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284337190371840258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6rjqHMlgJrnqpH2Zjudz1Hn-emg63vyXa4iLH_wUSabEWLW9QzHFvc7vFIUKnY9TNOQ5FYMRabm_zA0cB02v8u-MaMTze16ReEvQ-MzIFFRuFF6DibI26XUdBUiwxbMXT8YrfJyj7B6Uc/s320/Amanda's+camera+136.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>It was way more than we wanted to pay but it was really all there was out there that was this decent.

For Christmas we got lots of snow, i mean lots of snow, the difference between Oregon and here though is when we get this much snow nothing closes down, they just plow it and expect you to get to church, in Oregon you better have food storage, because you are snowed in and NOTHING is open, not even gas stations! I can't believe oregon got 16 in! that is record for Oregon, i sure do miss it, but i am glad that i am not snowed in. Here is some snow that was in our front yard....<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284347477084404146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizCCWLndKvJ0r0MVYokmHrQYpOXESpT3DKtP-VbaHKXZoH58jwh5x8cqfFat1GwuFqff5BumL22J07i3hSLoavKF3n7jGvilRd4gu7Axk_dqnviWlaC_oQ2F14_HAo8k9kWB0JU1wGFtQK/s320/Amanda's+camera+171.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>Nick and I slept in Christmas morning and then ate some cinnamon rolls, and made our way over to the tree to open presents at about 10 or so, I think this was nick's first year sleeping in ever on Christmas... it was fun to just have it be us though. Then we lounged around the rest of the day until about 5 or so and we went to heather's and keith's for Christmas dinner. It was SSSOOOO good, Keith made a Delicious ham that i literally couldn't stop eating , and there was rolls, mashed potatoes, salad, and cheesecake and cinnamon rolls, um it was awesome...... but i am still full today ha.

We both are pretty much the only ones staying around in our apartment building and a lot of the people in our ward went home for Christmas too, so naturally we both have big things to do for Sunday. Nick got asked to do a musical number in Sacrament meeting, and i get to teach R.S. which i have never done and i am nervous. Anyway i will update again later, we start school in about 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited even though i will be taking about 16 credits, which will be hard, i am so excited because i am enrolled in a bunch of dance classes, for my new dance major i got into, i am nervous for some of them but so so so excited at the same time. Thank you to everyone who helped to make Nick and I's Christmas special, being in school things get tight with $$ and we had a lot of things come up at the last minute, we are just so grateful for family and friends who really look out for us and care for us, we wouldn't have been able to do it without you..we are so blessed and really enjoyed christmas together this year..... happy holidays... we miss all of you in Oregon!! - amanda</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540632677080990054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321754921096555031.post-11651170174548338922008-12-07T18:52:00.000-08:002008-12-08T11:48:56.363-08:00It's startin' to smell a lot like christmas???Hey <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ok</span> i know i am really bad at keeping things updated on this blog i really should write more here and post more fun pictures... I will try to recap quickly but A LOT has happened. I think my last post was about my first item for sale on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ebay</span>... well yep that was exactly one month ago... and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><em>TeAr</em></span>... the necklace didn't sell. but hey it's all good maybe next time. Um, lets see lately things have been shall we say interesting not too mention a little bit chaotic:) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ok</span> the good stuff first thanksgiving was yummy, we went down to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">georgetown</span> on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">wednesday</span> night and stayed with my grandparents it was fun, and we had quite a few rounds of sequence, turns out they even in their aged years ( :) ) are quick and pretty much kicked nick and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">I's</span> butt's at it.... but none the less it was fun anyway. The next day we drove down to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">preston</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">which</span> i thought was in Utah for some crazy reason but it is close at least. but it was good and was a filling day:) the only sad part was that we didn't get to take any turkey home... no leftovers that was sad, but we lived on some rolls i brought for about two days afterwards though. still...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">grrrrrrrr</span>..... um no this is not the turkey we ate but it looked really yummy... and it's fried! really want to try this some year... has anyone tried it or know how it tastes i bet it is waist <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">widening</span> bliss...:)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Kmco76HbhYmXwjpG3LUnEYnH1rAG2hW15yY_TAPzmhWBS4lUmv22YyoUxoWj4YO_uSwkyARd40VYsWXoRhIFQ3uCsDOhFMiXMPcLDeAjH_rqrxi_BGuTpCbGyO7qIaXhW1lHgpfUfoz0/s1600-h/turkey.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277260962604420610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Kmco76HbhYmXwjpG3LUnEYnH1rAG2hW15yY_TAPzmhWBS4lUmv22YyoUxoWj4YO_uSwkyARd40VYsWXoRhIFQ3uCsDOhFMiXMPcLDeAjH_rqrxi_BGuTpCbGyO7qIaXhW1lHgpfUfoz0/s320/turkey.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />OH, yes well i saw the twilight movie, and i had mixed feelings about it. It probably didn't really help that I finished reading the last 1/4 of the book to nick about two hours before the midnight showing that we went to, but i practically had that book memorized. It was hard watching it and not seeing parts that i had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">visualized</span> in my head a million times, and knowing that a line by a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">character</span> was coming up only to never hear them say it, but all in all i think it was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">ok</span>, i just don't think that i will be staying up until 3 in the morning with the midnight showing with the second one. I thought they casted most of the roles very well though. I thought <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">alice</span> was perfect.. Did anyone else see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">rosalie</span> a little differently though? She was a pretty girl but i just thought it was not quite what i had pictured, but look up pictures of her on google( her name is Nikki Reed) and she looks amazing. I had no idea that her natural hair color is brown, check this out:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHKDJxexXwlKFHupwZf_9vbfnR6cnsiYdb0OI6jdPxk4jxvsAhuGUBcYgsfhtAXusxtMVxLoPeduDOJLoX3qpu_m2k-LtCstgMzcaEWJy-9h-GPB9iL1DFGC6GiTbR_uQflK9QNip5sfn0/s1600-h/rosalie+blond.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277261282128260690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 281px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 211px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHKDJxexXwlKFHupwZf_9vbfnR6cnsiYdb0OI6jdPxk4jxvsAhuGUBcYgsfhtAXusxtMVxLoPeduDOJLoX3qpu_m2k-LtCstgMzcaEWJy-9h-GPB9iL1DFGC6GiTbR_uQflK9QNip5sfn0/s320/rosalie+blond.jpg" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuO3tys4XK2MrNNzTToauN3pQmtQq93FVDEE96A1X75YZBjxmT2lw89VrSZIX-u_eGXrNXBmj5k_C-6P5duKoR9trgfCnazX9slARm_oxv3oltwkc_Y8VNzOwzttYGcu6ld6X97nDeZoES/s1600-h/rosalie+burnette.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277261286365985218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuO3tys4XK2MrNNzTToauN3pQmtQq93FVDEE96A1X75YZBjxmT2lw89VrSZIX-u_eGXrNXBmj5k_C-6P5duKoR9trgfCnazX9slARm_oxv3oltwkc_Y8VNzOwzttYGcu6ld6X97nDeZoES/s320/rosalie+burnette.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />It doesn't even look like the same girl.

I will move on to the next topic....<br /><br />So Nick and I have had a few <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">fun </span>things happen. So about 2 weeks ago i did a load of laundry and i noticed a small dripping sound right at the bottom of our washer. So i took a look and sure enough <span style="font-size:180%;">a leak</span>. So i stuck a towel under it and it was soaked in minutes. So i turned off the water and unplugged the washer and waited anxiously for my handy dandy fix it man husband to hurry home and work his magic. So he took it apart and diagnosed the problem and had it fixed that night. <em>No problem right?</em> We even did a test load to make sure and it worked fine. So my sister lives in a building where there are coin operated washers and dryers ...blah...... so we let her and her hubby so their laundry at our house. So while I was at work on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">monday</span> the 24<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">th</span> I get a call that the washer had flooded our apartment and that the carpet in the hall and beginning of the living room were wet. So I got a shop vac after work and tried my hand at sucking up some of the water.. <em><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">But</span> </em>there was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"><strong>SSSSOOOO</strong></span> much water. Every one of our towels was being used to soak it all up, and there was still puddles of standing water in the kitchen. The water had sunk under the transitions to the carpets and was wet to the office, into the bathroom, and to the window in the living room, so pretty much all of our carpet except for our bedroom. So we were a lot bit frazzled and having a really hard time figuring out how we were going to get all of the water out. So i began ringing out the sopping towels and re- using what i could while sticking the other half in the dryer so we could re- use them as well. Well we called our manager and they had the carpet cleaning company over within 20 minutes and we cleared out all of the furniture in the living room, thanks to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Pratts</span> our neighbors who <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">acquired</span> another living rooms worth of furniture while we got things taken care of. They used crazy sucker machines and sucked up tons of water probably close to <span style="font-size:130%;">75 gallons!!!!!!!!!!!</span> Um <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">thats</span> enough water for a small trough.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibd7fungSR0FMhjAgx1RfpOtZVIkSUGEsKo1i4zaBkQDO6yjUAdx72dSp_kdeyt7Gllk3Aq0ubBzAkKUgGflUTl1c0mlqMzjOEGsC_83-EEGdOJnmTMigpoIRRyu59u6Ag4GStug469gfp/s1600-h/trough.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277262727373838466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibd7fungSR0FMhjAgx1RfpOtZVIkSUGEsKo1i4zaBkQDO6yjUAdx72dSp_kdeyt7Gllk3Aq0ubBzAkKUgGflUTl1c0mlqMzjOEGsC_83-EEGdOJnmTMigpoIRRyu59u6Ag4GStug469gfp/s320/trough.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Then they pulled back all of the carpets and stuck huge fans under them to help dry the carpet pad. Well this went on for about 4 days of drying, and it stunk, <em><span style="font-size:130%;">really bad.</span></em><br /><br />I never imagined walking into my home during the start of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Christmas</span> season and had it smell like a hotel smoking lobby, i have no idea why it did smell this way but the glue or something when drying just made the place smell horrible. So we Tried to make the best of it, and played many a game on the floor, while waiting to move our furniture back in.I even learned how to play poker, using our bag of collasal berry crunch ceral as money... All the while i dreamed of cinnamon sticks and hot cocoa smells trying to block out the fumes that we were probably not supposed to really be inhaling;) Well <strong>long <span style="font-size:130%;">long </span><span style="font-size:180%;">long</span></strong> story short, the washer is not yet fixed and laundry is getting taller by the day, and they just re-stretched the carpets after a week and a half of them being dry, still need to be cleaned though. Also the worst part of it i think is that we are being told that we are going to have to pay for the water extraction and carpet re-pair/ cleaning. We thought <span style="font-size:180%;">WHAT!!!</span> so we did our research and really <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">don't</span> think we should have to pay for this. It is still in the process and not going well but this has <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">differently</span> been a humbling experience. Ha just the other night we <em>REALLY</em> needed some clean bath towels so i filled up the bath tub with hot water and soap and did some laundry the old fashioned way. I even used a spatula to "churn" the clothes with. It really reminded me of that one scene in the old Charlie and the Chocolate factory movie when the mom is doing that load of laundry in that big tub with that giant stir stick, i just wanted to burst out and song while doing it and really make the moment feel the same but i couldn't remember the words..<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">lol</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">But</span> thanks to great neighbors and friends <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Nick</span> and I are at least able to wear a clean pair of underwear everyday.. well most days....J/K oh my gosh <strong>just kidding,</strong> <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">just kidding,</span> <span style="font-size:180%;">just kidding</span></strong>......but we only smell a little...:) but it is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">differently</span> a experience to realize how blessed we are.

Kelsey jardine, Kari otto, and OF COURSE Emma jardine:) and I all had a girls night out. We drove to IF and went shopping for beads to fill our beading addiction, then went to a Primerica meeting with Kelsey and then we went out to eat at olive garden. I know spoiled right:) we bought two of the chicken alfredo pizzas and split them between the three of us, they were so good, and we were stuffed. It was awesome. We decided to kinda make it a monthly thing to just go out us girls. It is a healthy fun way to get out, do girl stuff and have fun together!!!

The wedding went very well. It rained, but hey that is Oregon for you.. Regardless of the rain though everything went well and all the pictures turned out super cute. The one thing that I think surprised me the most was how calm everyone was. Sorry heather if you read this, but I totally expected you to be much more stressed out and be a <span style="font-style: italic;">total bridezilla</span>! :) but after spending the weekend there with all of the wedding stuff going on I came to realize that you were far from being stressed out or even a little bit anxious. I was way more of a bridezilla than you were!!! I just got stressed out so much more easy than she did. I thought the way that Heather and Keith handled everything was <span style="font-style: italic;">very</span> calm and cool, they were fun to be around. Well I am glad that things went that way because they should be calm on their special day while everyone else runs around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get everything done and done <span style="font-style: italic;">perfect</span>... Much love though, I had a great time regardless of the craziness and lost sleep. I got the opportunity to make heathers wedding cake for her. I took a class at BYU-Idaho two semesters ago. Although the things I learned in this class were very helpful, I still had a hard time with his cake. I was up till like 3 the morning before because the bottom layer was being less than cooperative:) But Nick was very helpful and was a great stress coach especially at 3 am..... but he suggested that every place there was a little imperfection that I just stick a flower or something there. It worked perfectly and as long as no one looked too closely at the backside it was picture perfect:) All in all it was a fun project and I learned a lot and had a great time at her wedding.... to bad there was enough cake left over to feed a small country afterwards though if I would have known that I would have made some layers out of Styrofoam or rice krispies or something that didn't crumble quit so easily. Ha, well it was hard work not exactly a piece of cake but totally worth it.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540632677080990054noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321754921096555031.post-36468200711797289522008-10-06T17:11:00.000-07:002008-10-08T17:26:13.871-07:00My secret Gangsta LIfe<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUfdUI9zQv04-Qhq7WdaZ3oix9m0YEzVBnh6rK8eAzsohJXfqaaIKYAVi19rLBJHhNl0QnOg3Ytv9EHG_xaGw9mHQkYi5scCbDccI8-5bS6qPr-E0GvBnbF4qzECBdlA6uyQ8tRmjPVmsa/s1600-h/Gangsta+amanda.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 392px; height: 295px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUfdUI9zQv04-Qhq7WdaZ3oix9m0YEzVBnh6rK8eAzsohJXfqaaIKYAVi19rLBJHhNl0QnOg3Ytv9EHG_xaGw9mHQkYi5scCbDccI8-5bS6qPr-E0GvBnbF4qzECBdlA6uyQ8tRmjPVmsa/s400/Gangsta+amanda.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254201809816675858" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >So yeah i have a secret. well not totally a secret, but something that most people don't really know about me that is totally out there.....

I have never read so much in my life before..... <span style="font-weight: bold;">i LOVE THEM!</span> The weird part is though, and maybe it is this way for everyone, but i start to think in my head as if i were writing a book too. Just like the story is through bella's perspective i have started to write me own little novel inside my head just going throughout daily routines. I know this sounds a little weird maybe, maybe not... maybe this is how people who read all the time always think and i have been missing out all these years.... anywho all i know is that it makes me see things in a new perspective that i really didn't even get a glimpse of before... I made my imagination do it's part though and not watch the trailer to the movie, which is stellar by the way, until i had at least read the first book so i could envision what everything looked like.... but better believe that i will be there midnight on <span style="font-weight: bold;">November 21st</span>!</span>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540632677080990054noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321754921096555031.post-28614618972969234242008-09-18T12:54:00.000-07:002008-09-21T20:16:06.590-07:00Beading it up...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2rUI93RGTkIdStgGOnD_IqMuKr2byffqxfdd70D3ChHAmmkZQmOgiOlt53vq5Y5kckE6epkkaPJH19e17LYWjAd1mD9QhTiBVZaj8hoTcfWQuMUec80KAsdv-QjTtyVNkke3Ch6SMtZ8F/s1600-h/CIMG4146.JPG"> </a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5K4WS6LtgW2WhyHXYX-F3xxWKkwEiT6RAm14va45E64QQcg2almKCigo93erJY3ZTv9wgS9qTKhs2R2W8tOqyg9TS0xJCOhGhcOdZT10ljdasfYvMq15Qhk_25ShNGEQtzwcK7foZUjl_/s1600-h/CIMG4042.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5K4WS6LtgW2WhyHXYX-F3xxWKkwEiT6RAm14va45E64QQcg2almKCigo93erJY3ZTv9wgS9qTKhs2R2W8tOqyg9TS0xJCOhGhcOdZT10ljdasfYvMq15Qhk_25ShNGEQtzwcK7foZUjl_/s320/CIMG4042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247460400806539954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9AaseGhWC9Qgx_8Xi1xVnrbDmtxhLDaeUs1OW8-FFk2YSDQLa61v8swdZw-RZXcrBt13VGmu_gAOfTftQkrxJ-EVKlOBwZd1vlXL0GQGX1in9ZOXckelcjbdYreBL0DoN2J9POCrNv-6H/s1600-h/CIMG4044.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 204px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9AaseGhWC9Qgx_8Xi1xVnrbDmtxhLDaeUs1OW8-FFk2YSDQLa61v8swdZw-RZXcrBt13VGmu_gAOfTftQkrxJ-EVKlOBwZd1vlXL0GQGX1in9ZOXckelcjbdYreBL0DoN2J9POCrNv-6H/s320/CIMG4044.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247460406193423650" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrEVTjCqjQ45dpeIwXdT5TUItED3ehh0v_omozciM4vPuI2fhWRvHWvG5SfEqahgZc87dfmgoGJWDsylt9L6eijEd2sIMmr3gnIR9JXV_eR1DJ7K2vMZH37tmBYQYP77ciwjNK74odZYMJ/s1600-h/CIMG4151.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 196px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrEVTjCqjQ45dpeIwXdT5TUItED3ehh0v_omozciM4vPuI2fhWRvHWvG5SfEqahgZc87dfmgoGJWDsylt9L6eijEd2sIMmr3gnIR9JXV_eR1DJ7K2vMZH37tmBYQYP77ciwjNK74odZYMJ/s320/CIMG4151.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247460410238901026" border="0" /></a><br /><blockquote></blockquote> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" > So I am fairly new to this whole blog thing and need to get down in dirty with all of the other details bought me and the hubby, but for my first blog i just wanted to gab about some stuff that makes me :) </span> <span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" > So yes i have gotten into a few new things lately.

Well i had been a big fan of the whole hemp necklace thing growing up, at girls camp, and with my sisters, etc. but i was and am not a huge fan of the smell of that real hemp stuff. </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >It is nauseating... </span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >So i would just settle for the other fake stuff to try and reduce the smell and get the same effect, but for those of you who know it is not the same effect, just really scratchy... anyways i didn't do jewelry for a while after that.... until recently. I love to bead and make necklaces, </span><span style="font-size:100%;">bracelets</span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" > and earrings now!! I just kinda experimented with the wire and crimp beads until something semi- normal and wearable was born and i have been a fan ever since.... Although it is a great new hobby it is also an </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >expensive</span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" > one.. therefore i opted to find a cheaper way, as i usually do with everything( no seriously everything...), and I began ravaging thrift stores for second hand necklaces. Not to wear though but to cut up.. yes i buy those ugly ones that nobody really wants because it could never match with anything... and then i </span><span style="font-size:100%;">dissect</span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" > what each bead could look like as a part of something else... then i cut it up and make better, prettier things.. for cheaper. It is <span style="font-weight: bold;">AWESOME</span>. Although i wish i could get all of my beads and supplies this way it is not possible, but it sure does cut down on costs. DI has deals sometimes like two necklaces for 50 cents... which is better than the $5-10 you would spend for half the amount of beads at porters:) N E ways after i post more you will soon learn that i do a lot of things this way, <span style="font-style: italic;">take some thing </span></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" >thrifty</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"> and turn into something nifty.... :)</span> </span></span>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540632677080990054noreply@blogger.com0
