Wow! I'm BAD at blogging!

Alright! So it's been over 2 months since my last post. I am definitely a blogtard! I just made that up, and its true in every sense of the ... word. I think about things to blog, but I've gotten so bad at taking pictures. I used to carry my camera with me everywhere, but now its definitely a rarity to actually pull it out and take a picture. Although, in coming to realize and admit this major flaw, I've decided to be better. Or at least try to! So, we'll see how I do.

Anyway, a few notable things have happened in the last 2 months. I just need to remember what they are. Oh ya! I have a new job. I think anyone who will actually reads this already know, but I quit my job at Hallmark at the end of July and started training at Chase! Its an amazing job, and exactly what Collin and I needed. Its perfect: benefits, full time, challenging, interesting, valuable and has helped Collin get back into school so he can graduate. I've had a lot of training, so I feel like I'm beginning to do well and hopefully lead to a successful Banker!! So...ya... I love it! :)

Let's see, what else?! I got to hang out with my best friends a few different times, which was awesome. Carly, Kristy and I went to the Fray concert together, which was so great to be together along with our other halves.

A few times, I made it down to Provo to see the Bakkens and their adorable apartment. LOVE it! Brooke has the most creative eye. Collin and I had a double date day with Melissa and Skyler, full of Cheesecake Factory, Croquet and Bocce Ball. Man, I wish I had my camera; good times! I'm so glad for the times that we get together with our friends down south, because I REALLY miss them a lot, living so far. Ok, 2 hours isn't THAT bad, but its enough to miss people. I truly love it here in Logan, so don't think I'm miserable here. I'm excited to spend the next few years here, but I do love friends. A lot! (subtle hidden message: COME VISIT ME before the crazy cold snowy winter!)

We went to Colorado a few times too and down to Layton a bunch for fun days with our family! I love how big our family tree is now! So many nieces and nephews and amazing examples (all our sibs and their spouses). I don't think we could be more blessed with our family! Such a fantastic feeling! LOVE it!

Oh! So, Logan just got Gold's Gym. I had been Anti-Golds for years while living in Provo with my 24 Hour Fitness membership. But, I am SO grateful that a man from Idaho decided to build a Golds in Logan. Hallelujah!!! :) What a blessing! I go work out in the mornings while Collin has his 7:20 math class! Its so great! They have classes, and the raddest cardio machines. You plug your ipod in, have your own tv screen and control what you want to watch or hear when you want it. Genius! AND, to top it off, when you take your ipod home to plug it in the computer, it connects to nikeplus.com. Ya... it tracks your workouts. Are you kidding me? The coolest, most brilliant idea! Now, when I start to get hooked to Sportscenter, CSI and the news in the morning, all at the same time, I get my butt to the gym and hop on the elliptical while I watch. Then switch over to my new tunes during commercial breaks. Thank you, Golds, for becoming a part of my life! :) (haha, i'm a nerd)

Alright, until I get more pictures, my last 2 cents: I'm stoked for College Football. Collin and I are obsessed with football. Ok scratch that, sports in general. We love them! (magical that we got married, isn't it?) Anyway, we're in a NCAA fb pool. So, there are certain picks each week that we pick the winner. And at the end of the season, the 2 losers fund a pizza party for the BCS championships. Pretty sweet deal. Collin and I have resolved to win the whole thing. Just you wait and see! This one's for you, Stevo!
