Will post soon

Sorry for teasing ya'll with a ton of posts and then leaving you hanging.. I hate that. I just wanted to give a quick update of where we are and what we're up to right now. We're currently in Spokane staying with family and anticipating the arrival of the rest of the fam for Justin's wedding. We were planning on taking a trip to Washington for the wedding anyway, but work was cut short much earlier than expected. We decided if they were willing to fly us back home we may as well save the money and just have them fly us home to Spokane, so now we're having a good long visit with the fam. We've been having a great time getting to know Stephanie (Justin's fiance), spending time with some of Brad's long time friends Steve and Baden, and just hanging with the fam. Things have been pretty busy around here but stay tuned, there will be pictures of our many adventures to follow.

Can you tell I'm bored yet?

So with all this out of town living we're basically eating out every meal. One of those things you think will be fun until you've had one to many burgers or tacos. Needless to say it's definitely not helping my figure, so I decided to try to be a little more careful about what I'm eating. I had no idea it would be so hard. I just wanted to give a shout out to Wendy's for having decently priced decently healthy options and a huge sign posting all the nutrition information. I was so interested that I came back to the hotel and looked it up. If you're looking for something to fill up some of your free time like I am, and you're prepared to feel guilty next time you eat out check it out at wendysnutritioninfo. Looks like I'm not going to be downing three five piece nuggets with honey mustard anymore.. Who knew the dipping sauce would be as many grams of fat as the actual nuggets!

But on the plus side if you're really lookin to make a change eating out I found this really cool website where you can put in your location and price range and it will bring up a list of nearby restaurants and the healthiest options. Not too shabby.

If you just read this full post.. you deserve a gold star. Either to distract you from your intense boredom or reward you for being such an interested friend.

SoCal!

Evidence bein in SoCal is going to Brad's Head.Gangsta, pay no attention to that National Geographic hat.

Check out those sweet kicks!

We're currently working in Ontario California. Our hotel is conveniently located next to an outlet mall. Suprisingly I'm the only one that hasn't bought a thing.. Strange how shopping with a bunch of guys results in different store selections :) Brad picked up these bad boys for 15 bucks! They're his Party City shoes (that's the store we're working in). This one of the many plusses of being married to BW, constant entertainment!

As many as you know Brad's been out of town working for his cousin installing store shelfing, I recently joined him in California and am now working with him.... installing shelfing. Thus far it's been an interesting experience. There are a few things I wasn't expecting/ didn't realize:

1. The affect of so much testoterone in one place, I'm missin you Mons!
2. Discovery of muscles I never knew I had
3. I enjoy ripping things apart
4. How much the guys enjoyed me wielding a sledge hammer - even the electricians stopped to comment
5. Spending 4 hrs in traffic can be worth it to see family, and even some what enjoyable.
6. How hard Brad works doing this job to support me. He's such a great husband!!!

Yesterday we hitched a ride to Angela's house and then ended up having her drop us back in
Ontario . The only problem- they were on their way to utah for a wedding where they are going to hand off aubrielle and benson until Justin's wedding. Needless to say their mini van was packed with 3 car seats four adults and a months worth of luggage.

The above mentioned situation. Jaycie's even looking!

Before Ang and Cameron dropped us off we had dinner together at Denny's. Cameron put a dogers hat on Jaycie and she rocked it almost all dinner.

Dinner's lots of fun with these guys.

What a cutie!

The difference in a little hair

Just figured ya'll would appreciate the results of Justin's lawn mower job to Brad's head a day too early.

Never seen an MTC teacher look like that before huh?! The missionaries were shocked when Brad showed up with no hair. A few of them told him he looked pretty scary without hair and if they didn't know him they'd think he'd break somebody's neck. They decided to pose like tough guys in honor of Brad's new do... (looks like a few missed the memo :))

Not really sure what just happened, but J & I have a way of making memories...

So I had considered buzzing my head because I'm going out of town for around 5 weeks for work. I'm leaving tuesday. I talked to Miranda about it, we decided it might be a good chance for her to try and cut my hair first and if she messed it up we'd just finish it off with a buzz. I got the idea in my head and wanted to do it earlier. On Saturday night we went to Justin and Monica's. Miranda declined the opportunity. That left Justin and I alone with buzzers..... not a good combination. So he mentioned going right to it without any guard on the buzzers, I said, uh we should start longer and then work it down. Next thing I know I'm sitting down and remember glancing up as he began and thinking...uh that doesn't have a guard on it..... I figured this wild pics would be the best part of the hair cut so I hope they can brighten someones day.
Sidenote: Unfortunately there wasn't any alcohol involved in this incident, which may have made it a lot easier toexplain....

Cookie, Monster

So here are those heart shaped monster cookies BW posted about earlier. I'm proud to say he made them all by himself, while he kindly allowed me to start taking control of my coupon situation. Lets just say Brad delivers the paper and brings home at least 5 extra Sunday newspapers a week which usually contain around 2-3 coupon inserts each and I haven't cut coupons for about 3 months...... you do the math. Anywho while I started on the monster project Brad made these delicious Monster cookies. Aren't I a lucky girl. No offense Pam but your fired, you've been replaced by a more qualified applicant. :) Now if I can just get him to master those caramel ribbon brownies.. Yum!
