I want a kitty!



I saw this video on facebook and loved it! It made me want a cat.  Jacob and I almost had a cat a few months ago.  It was in November and on our way into our apartment one day I saw this tiny little kitty.  I felt so bad for him because he was so tiny and looked so cold sitting there in the snow.  So I picked him up and decided to name him Gary.  I convinced Jacob that we needed to take care of Gary because he was so cold and so little and so hungry.  So we made a little bed out of a basket and a towel and put it on our front porch.  We put out tuna and milk every day for Gary.  One night a big fat ugly cat was eating Gary's food and so Jacob threw an oreo at him.  Then he kept whipping the door open because he wanted to catch the fat cat in the act again so he could dump water on him. Haha but bottom line: We loved Gary! One night we even followed kitty footprints all over our apartment complex looking for Gary because we hadn't seen him all day.  But then the next day, he came to our apartment with a collar on!!! So Gary was cheating on us that whole time! He had two owners!! Needless to say, we took his bed inside and have not put food out for him since.  Haha, but I can't wait until we can get a house so we can get our own cute little kitty!!

Rexburg Winter!

This is my first winter in Rexburg and it is cold! Right now it's -15 and -27 with the wind chill. I didn't know it was possible to get this cold! Luckily since Jacob and I go to school during the summer and fall semesters, we don't have to walk around campus in this weather.  We're just both working full-time at Melaleuca right now.  Jacob works from 6-3 and I work from 10-7 every day.  This is our first week with us both working our full time shifts and it's going pretty good. We've been going to bed at 10:00 every night so that Jacob can wake up at 5:00 and get ready for work and I can roll out of bed at 5:40 and drive him to work.  I thought it would be kind of hard for me to adjust to spending my mornings getting stuff done around the house, instead of the evenings, but it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be.  The worst part for me has been that Jacob and I don't get to spend any time together from 6am-7pm.  I know that sounds lame, but we're used to seeing each other pretty often throughout the day in between our classes.  But at least we've been able to spend our evenings together watching TV shows and working out and eating dinner.  


So anyway, I kind of got off-topic there, but the main point was I'm really grateful we're not in school this semester, AND I'm not a fan of Rexburg winters.


My sister sent me the picture below and I couldn't stop laughing. Any ideas what the heck it is?? Haha

Booty Pop!

K, so everyone remembers the Bump-it, and Snuggie infomercials, and how ridiculous they are.  I found a new one on my sister's facebook page and I couldn't help but post it. Hahaha. Enjoy :)
