Schools Out Forever!

I am DONE! No more school!

This weekend we had both sets of parents in town along with my grandparents and brother to celebrate my graduation. I am glad that they all came to show support.

We actually had graduation on a Friday which made things a little difficult seeing as I had to work all day. Both bosses were getting ready for an extended family reunion. Bosses trump secretaries. Always. Thankfully, the only other person that can run the office came back from a fence job half an hour early and told me to go home. So I went home stuffed myself with Jacobs left over lunch and got my cap and gown on. I had to line up at 5:30 even though graduation didn't start until 6:15. Everything I learned about graduation the first time in high school held true the second time in college. They are hot and you are going to sweat places you didn't know you could sweat, you're going to get hat hair, and it'll feel good. I seriously think those robes were made for Eskimos. Not to be worn in the hot afternoon sun.

So after sitting and listening to speeches for I don't even know how long , I finally got to walk across the stage.A very short but momentous walk for four years of a lot of work.

Recent Events

So, after our happy moving announcements our managers called us and told us the rent of the apartment we were moving to was now $600 a month. No thank you. Compared to other apartments around here, frankly, it was a rip off. So, we will stay where we are until we finish school and maybe put some of the money we will save towards a graduation trip for Jacob.

We spent the 4th of July in Jackson Hole WY. Jacob's friends Jaimen and Joe came with us. Jaimen is a mountain man and took us on a 16 mile bike ride with a 4 mile hike in the middle. Needless to say Jacob and I were dead after that trip. But we did find a really good "homemade" ice cream shop in Jackson that also sold guns. I was very glad to find a homemade ice cream shop because it just isn't the Fourth of July with out homemade ice cream.

We also went to the Idaho Falls Zoo with free tickets from Jacobs work. I felt really bad for those animals. They had really small cages or little areas of land to live on. If I were a PETA member they would be hearing from me, but the animals were fun to see nonetheless.
Lastly, we had some toilet problems. Not to talk toilet on my blog because no one likes that, but we had some real problems. We went to ACE Hardware and asked for their best stuff. They gave us liquid fire and told us to be very very careful. Well, not even liquid fire solved the problem and we treated our toilet three times with the strongest acid we could find. So, I felt that the managers owed it to us to fix our toilet after raising the rent on us and had them get us a plumber. Now the toilet, thankfully works like a charm.

Our 2nd Move!

Jacob and I got news today that we are moving! Not very far at all. Infact, its only about 100 feet. We love the apartment we are in now. It's perfect for newlyweds and just me and Jacob. But once you get more than three people in there, it is just too cramped. With everything that bothered us about the apartment, we decided to move two doors down to a house that its devided into two apartments. We thankfully will be in the upstairs and we are so excited about the move. Here is a link to pictures of the apartment from tenants that lived there before the current tenants, Tim and Amy. I dont think the pictures do this cute apartment any justice, or gives you a real idea of what it looks like but you can see that this is much bigger than our old one. We are very excited.
