Flash Forward

My sister ashley got Amanda and I hooked on a TV show called "Flash Forward." I think we probably watched all 10 episodes in like 3 days. But then it ended. Well, fortunately they just announced that will start up again on March 18. Oh yeah. I am wondering if they will try and wrap it up by april 29, 2010 because in the show that is they day all their flash forwards went to. (if you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the trailer on youtube.) We'll see where this series goes.

From the same writers came LOST. I am having a hard time watching one episode at a time now. All the other seasons I was behind and would rent or borrow them on DVD, but now its in the 6th season and I have to watch each episode on the computer as it comes. Its killing me. I'm excited to see where this all ends up.

My favorite super bowl ad

There were some great commercials this super bowl. My all time favorite of them all was this one.



My 2nd favorite was this one:



Anyways, good ads. They never cease to amaze me. Also, the new Robin Hood movie coming out with Russel Crowe Looks AWESOME!

My new Design

So, after a lot of work, and confusing stuff, I finally have my very own personalized background for my blog. I designed it on Adobe Illustrator, and thanks to about 9 emails back and forth from a lady in TX named Teresa, we got it onto my blog. I had to update my template, and go through a bunch of hoops to get it up there. So tell me, what do you think about it? I kind of like it. and I will be doing custom ones in the future from now on now that I know how to do it. Thanks Teresa (if your reading this).

So, how about a little update in our lives. We have been married a grand total of 8 weeks and 3 days now. On thursday it will be exactly 2 months. I can't believe how fast it has gone so far. I love being married. Amanda makes my life so much better. School has started up, and I'm taking 15 credits. Its not going to be too bad. Although this is Amanda's last semester, so she is wicked busy. She is doing her capstone (like an internship) at Primary Children's Hospital in SLC. She has to be there at 7AM, and take the TRAX there, so she leaves our apartment at 5:30AM, drives to 1300 E. in Salt Lake, jumps on TRAX, and rides it to the hospital. She doesn't get home until about 9PM. So with that and work and school, its going to be a long semester of us not seeing each other very much. We just keep telling ourselves it will be worth it in the end.

And, some big new............I FINALLY GOT ANOTHER JOB! I have been booting cars since August, and it is 100% commission, which can really suck if nobody parks illegally. I've gotten some huge paychecks, and some really small ones. My last two paychecks totaled $201. So I have been job hunting for a while, and applying at a ton of different places. And I finally got a job at Office Max here in provo. I will be doing everything from warehouse work to running the cash register to helping people find stuff they want. I will start probably monday. To start I will only make $7.50 an hour, but hey, thats still more than I made over the past month. Working twenty hours a week will put me at about $300 a pay check, so it will be nice to know how much I'm getting paid each pay period. I'm excited for it.

Funny Commercial

2010 thus far

Last saturday Amanda and I decided to take a little excursion to Ogden.  We made it a little day trip.  It was about a two hour drive up to Ogden.  We stopped at the Hill Air Force Base and went to their Airplane museum.  It was great!  I swear I could spend all day there.  They have so many cool planes.  We took a picture next to the Douglas C-3 which is the plane my Grandpa flew during the vietnam era.

It was a huge plane used for Cargo.  It was pretty neat.  After the museum we went to the Ogden temple.  We had planned on doing an endowment session, but when we got there they asked us if we could do sealings.  It was neat to be able to remember those promises and covenants.  After the temple we drove to layton and went to a mexican restaurant called Garcia's.  It was great.  We had to pick up Amanda's sister from the airport that night in SLC.  Her plane was supposed to land at 11:37 p.m. but she didn't walk out of the gate until about 12:30 a.m.  So needless to say it was a late night by the time we got back to provo.  And besides that and school starting today, that just about wraps up the exciting stuff for 2010 thus far.

Accountability

I thought I would be a little accountable for my new years goals for 2009, seeing as how it is rapidly coming to a close.  My goals for 2009 were as follows:

1. Don't drink carbonation- Completed

2. Find someone who I can legitimately kiss new years eve 2010- Completed

3. Don't eat anything past 10 p.m.- Failed Miserably

I haven't given this much though yet, but I here are a few of my 2010 new years resolutions.  I will probably add some as we go.

1. Don't drink carbonation OR sugary drinks (such as fruit punch, juices, etc. Crystal Light is ok cause its sugar free)

2. Get my weight down to 185 by the time I go to Field Training sometime this summer (right now I am fluctuating between 197-200)

3. Boost my GPA back up to at least a 3.5 (as of this last semester it is a 3.35)

4. Run a 10 minute (or faster) mile and a half

I know some of these are lofty goals, but I feel like I can obtain these in a year.  I will try and be accountable, but if you think about it, check up on me to see how I'm doing.  Thanks.

A place of refuge

As promised here are some pictures of our married apartment.  We live in provo just 1/2 a block south of Center Street.  Its a nice place and pretty cheap for the neighborhood we live in. 

This Is A pic of the outside front of the house.  We live in the basement around the side.
Just walk down these steps to our front door.........
This is our kitchen.Here is our makeshift table.  Its just a card table (for now)
Our Living room is connected to our kitchen.
Our tree, entertainment center from Ikea, our 32" Vizio flat screen TV (Thank you Target Gift Cards).
Our bedroom is pretty small, but cozy.  there isn't much room for anything.
And that is the digital tour of our new apartment.  However, we just bought a progressive sleigh bed from RC Wiley, so I will have to get a picture of that when its up.
