stealing internet

So, usually I find myself being a very honest person, but one of the things bryce and I have done from the time we've gotten married is saving money by stealing internet. Well, sometimes it's great, but lately it's just plain sucked. It hasn't worked for like a week because of a huge storm we had! So that's why it's taken so long.
well Bryce and I have been wanting a dual sport motorcycle (street legal dirt bike) for quite some time. we've been keeping our eye out on craigslist and after a year of looking we found it. It's an 82' honda. It has 16,000 miles on it and is a 500cc. I love it. It's just barely too tall/heavy for me to hold it up by myself, but Bryce lets me ride it in the parking lot at the church when no one's there. HE just has to hold it up until I start going. If I were 2 inches taller I think I'd be able to ride it by myself, it's just too hard to hold up standing on my tippy toes. He took me for a ride right when he got it and after like 2 minutes it just sputtered and stopped. We got a little nervous and then Bryce realized he had turend off the fuel. what a dork. It runs great and Bryce has ridden it to work 2x now. I can't go back to sleep yet because of how nervous I am, but he's a good driver so I'm sure he'll be fine. we're both very cautious drivers, me more than him, but hopefully he'll get there soon. Oh and the best part...we got it for $850! $600 came from my tip jar and then the rest came out of our account. It's pretty cool how fast tips add up. i'm saving up the rest I get before we move to fix up our new little home. I'm so excited! well I'm laying out at a park with my new swim suit (super cute and only $20 by the way) and stealing internet since our aparment complex's internet is broken. I read some harry potter and checked my email and now i'm going to take a nap. can you believe that 1 week ago we had a blizzard (at least 6 inches of snow in 1 day) and now I'm laying out? that's colorado for you!!

Hair question




So, once we have kids I won't be working, so I won't be able to get my hair done for free wherever I work. So I am trying to think of a way I can color it that Bryce and I can do on our own that won't look BORING. I am thinking Brown with some blonde pieces showing through in some spots, that way you'll never see the roots because they're under the top layer! Do you think that'd look lame with long hair? I can't decide!! I like my hair dark brown, but I always get bored after awhile of having my hair all one color! what color hair do you like me with best? blonde or Brown? These pictures are my reminders to grow my hair out and not chop it off!!! what do you think?

I LOVE RACQUETBALL!!




So as most of you my family and I have always loved Racquetball. My mom and dad taught us how to play and I taught Bryce. His goal is to beat me 10x this year and has succeeded 4x. Hopefully that's all he'll make it to! :) I just found these raqcuetball pictures of my sister, brother and us in Rexburg and thought they'd be fun to put on this racquetball post! I'm getting homesick for my brother and sister. It seems like it's been forever since we've all been together! Hopefully we'll be able to see each other on Christmas! Oh and if any of you haven't played racquetball, i'd seriously suggest giving it a try. It's SO MUCH FUN, and slightly dangerous, so it's a good game for an adreniline rush!

The New Bryce!




So every 3-4 months, after Byrce grows his hair out to about 5 inches on top (to the point it's in his eyes) Bryce asks me to cut his hair and after every time, he gets sad and wishes he didn't cut it and grows it out again. So this time we cut the length in half instead of in thirds. I love it. He looks great and now he lost another pound!! :) doesn't he look hansome?

Happy Easter!!

All of our beautiful eggs!!!
Bryce with his "holy catholic egg"

I thought bryce looked kinda like an indian with the sticker in the middle so I said "act like an indian" and this is the face he made!!!




Easter morning I woke up to and easter basket and plastic eggs hidden all over the house. It was wonderful! Bryce is so sweet.

One of my favorite easter memories is of somethign my Mom wrote in a book of funny things us kids said growing up. I went to my friends house easter morning for some reason and when i came back I had my easter basket and I said "Wow....we must have had the same easter bunny lindsey did, because we got the same stuff!!" I was so excited. Little did i know that easter eggs and chocolate were pretty normal things to get in your easter basket!

Well for easter we went to church, and then came home to dye easter eggs. we were having so much fun dying the hard boiled eggs, we dyed the rest too...we just had to be careful we didn't get them mixed up!! :) We got this kit with stickers, litters and stuff...so that was fun. A lot of it was totally catholic, so bryce made a holy egg! He's such a dork. His tradition is to always make a grey egg by putting the last egg in all of the colors for a while. I don't know if they did this in his family or if it was his original idea, but it's kinda fun. I had more fun dying eggs this year than I think i EVER have....including my child years. It was just so fun. When we ran out of eggs and still had stickers left, i decorated Bryce's face. He likes to act like he doesn't like it, but I know he secretly loves it! lol. Hope you guys had a good easter.

ENTERTAINMENT CENTER!!







So I've been wanting a nice entertainment center for quite some time. We've had these 2 shelves hodling our TV and all of our nintendo systems (x box, 64, sega) and our DVD/VCR. It was so cluttered. So I've been craigslisting it for the last couple months. We bought a nice table w/four chairs for $100 (oh and it has a fold out leaf) and now an entertainment center. The people we bought this from paid $1900 for it 7 years ago. Guess how much we got it for? I love getting good deals. I also sanded and restained my vanity. We don't have anywhere to do it so I did it in our room. Sawdust was everywhere, including in my nose!! I've had sawdust boogers for 3 days now!! :) It looks great though!! now all we need is a big bookshelf. We have like 4 little ones, so it'd be nice to just have 1 big one that fits all of our books! I love craigslist!!! We alsmost have everything we need for our new home in Texas. All we need is a bed for the guest bedroom, but I don't think we'll have any guests until October, so we'll probably wait awhile for that. I'm so excited! Oh and pick the colors you like the most. The red will be the accent wall in the living room, and office. Which brown do you like the most for most of the other walls?

skinny binn

So Bryce always calls me skinny binny. So now I call him skinny binny since he's been losing weight. He has a chart where he writes down how much he weighs every morning and he's almost down to how much he weighed when we got married. when I told him how good he was doing and how "skinny" he was and he looked at me and said "now you see me..." turned to his side and said "now you don't." WHAT A DORK! I love that boy. He's looking good....he's always looked good, but now he's looking dang fine!! :)
