3 jobs?

Things are crazy right now. I am currently working 3 jobs. Yes I did say 3. Why do you ask? Because I am insane. Larry is working really hard in school trying to get the best grades and is also doing Moot Court, and Mock Trial so he is just too busy to work. I am done really with a lot of my pre-requisites for the nursing program and am just waiting to see if I get it. I am taking a full load but mainly just filler classes so I can work...and working I am! I am currently a supplemental instructor for Anatomy & Physiology. It really is a sweet job. I get to lecture 2 times a week for an hour to students because I kicked butt and got an A in both classes so I teach them the tricks on how to get an A too! I am also still working in the bookstore on campus which is busy off and on but I work there everyday and have made some great friends. It will almost be a year in April...time flies.

If that were not enough I just picked up a 3rd job which is a gross not so glamors job but is paying our rent! I work from 10pm-1am 5 days a week cleaning the gym. It is an awful job and I complain every time 10pm comes around but it pays well.

yes I scrub toilets on a daily basis. Yes I am a janitor.

Aren't we looking lovely...between the 3 jobs and the 26 unties we are taking this semester I am surprised we look this good!

Welcome 2009.

Happy New Year! We made it back to Utah! It was a long drive over the snowy mountains and I think we almost died a couple of times...but we made it alive! John came with us to visit before he starts back to school. I already miss my family and the warmer climate. Here is what it looks like from our windows from our apartment on campus. Keep warm!

A Crazy New Years Eve

We are spending New Years Eve with these little goof balls. The Martins are throughout a big party at there house with food, candy, and a hot tub. Happy New Years Eve everyone! Hope your night is fun and you have someone to kiss at midnight!

Just Call Him Lumber Jack Larry.

Larry is crazy. Oh and my brothers are crazy. Before everyone leaves to go back to school my dad wanted to cut down the front trees in our house. These trees are as old as I am and are starting to get a little dangerous when the weather is bad. So Larry being a boy, and the best son-in-law said he thought they could chop them all down. It was a crazy morning of chopping down trees and pulling them with cars. It was nuts and dangerous and I thought Larry would die because he was up in the trees with a stinking chain saw. They successfully cut down 4 huge trees and cleaned it all up and we headed over to Debbie Wong this Chinese place my family loves. It was a messy day. Its been pretty fun being back in California these last 2 weeks and I am not looking forward to going back to cold snowy Utah. It looks like John is going to come stay for a week or so though so that will be fun and prolong my sadness a little bit.

Family Pictures

I think these are the first pictures we have had of all of us in a long time. Tom was not in the country when Larry and I got married and went straight back to Hawaii after him mission and then we moved to Utah so really this is the newest in a long time! Emma Foell was baptized over the Christmas break and here is the proof! Did you know I love being with my family {most of the time} no really its pretty good some fights but not as many as we get older. Its fun watching the families grow as people get married and eventually babies will come along the way making it even larger and funner.

Recently things seem to change fast what with applying to nursing school, tutoring, marriage, jobs and everything its hard to keep up. It has been nice to take these 2 weeks off of work and school and just relax. After studying all semester and working its nice to just get a small break and have some sunny weather!

Mac Love

I got a mac book computer for Christmas. It is fancy and I am in love with it. Here is our first official photo booth picture. Aren't we lovely?

Welcome to my life mac book!

Christmas Season 2008

Merry Christmas!!
We have had a really great time here in El Dorado Hills. I know its not technically Christmas yet but today we had the Foells up to make candy houses with the Martin Family. It was really fun making candy houses and hanging out with everyone. It was a bit wild at times with lots of little kids and cousins but we ate a lot of candy and are enjoying this time together. Its so nice to be away from the snow and be back home! Hope everyone has a great holiday!
