Looks like Linsey tagged me here it goes:

7 Quirks

1. Before I can fall asleep at night all the closet doors have to be closed in our bedroom and everything picked up off the floor.  Phil will open the closet door just to see if I will get up and close it.  Of course I will! Also, Seinfeld has to be on the TV with the sleep timer set for 1 hour to shut the TV off. 

2. I love to SNOOZE!! I will set my alarm 30 to 40 minutes before I have to get up.  My alarm goes off every 9 minutes!

3. I DVR a lot of shows and like to fast forward through the parts that don't interest me.  Phil always ask "Are you going to watch it normal or fast forward through it." It drives him crazy.

4. I like to be really warm when I sleep.  I sleep with a heating pad, flannel blanket, top sheet, comforter and a feather blanket all year round.  

5. I bite my nails.  I have tried to determine if it is nerves or what but I think I just get bored.

6. I love SALT!! I put it on everything.  I know I shouldn't but I do.

7. I change my scentsy candle almost every day.  I pour the old wax into a glass cup and have ruined 3 glasses.  What else am I suppose to do with the wax.  

Now that you know how weird I am, I tag anyone who is brave enough to expose the weird things about YOU!!

 P.S. Did you notice how many of my quirks had to do with SLEEPING!!

I am stealing this picture from a friends post but I just wanted to to remember what a historic night!
Fall has come and gone and I am afraid that Winter is right around the corner.  I love the snow, but why does it have to be so COLD!! I am looking forward to this winter because Phil and I bought season passes to TARGHEE!! I hope I remember how to ski from last season and that Phil will be patient with me.  He is the best SKI teacher.

We have had a couple of changes in our family.  I have transferred to the Rexburg Westmark as a loan officer.  I am so excited to be closer to Phil but will miss my co workers.  I always thought of them as my family away from home and will miss them.  

The other change is that we sold the VOLVO!! I loved that car.  We decided where I was going to be working in Rexburg why not eliminate a payment.  BYE BYE CAR!

I celebrated my 28Th b-day and wow, I am closer to 30!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and am looking forward to spending it with my family.

Wow, it has been forever since I have updated.  The last TWO months of summer have been crazy. I won't bore you with all of it but I will tell you all how much fun our VACATION was.  We flew out on a Wednesday and arrived in San Fran.  It was humid and nice.  We got checked into our hotel that was nice.  It definitely wasn't the Fitzpatrick that we stayed in New York.  After getting settled in we headed down to Union Square to do some SHOPPING!! We each had a certain $ amount that we could spend and I spent mine the first day we were there.  Good thing I snuck the debit card a few times when Phil wasn't looking.  The next day we headed down to the Wharf.  It was beautiful.  I love the ocean.  We hung out there all day and watched the Sea Lions, the street performers, and ate lots of YUMMY food.  Friday was RADIO HEAD!!! We slept in got ready and headed to the Golden Gate Park.  It was HUGE.  The concert was AWESOME!! After 8 hours of music we headed home.  Saturday was just a casual day china town, aquarium of the bay, and union square.  Sunday we biked the Golden Gate Bridge.  It was AWESOME.  I never thought of a vacation where you would bike 8 miles but it was beautiful.  You start out at the Wharf follow the bike path to the bridge and end up in Saucilito where you catch a ferry bike to the wharf.  Saucilto was this cute little yacht type town.  I loved it there.  Monday was our final day in San Fran and we went to Alcatraz.  Alcatraz was a maximum security federal penitentiary.  We got to tour the prison and see how the prisoners lived.  You had a tour that was audio and it explained about the famous prisoners.  After that we caught a flight bake to reality.  Phil starts school and we both will continue to work.

Okay this is a lot to take in for one day but I really want to get caught up.

Yesterday was our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! The day started with my making breakfast in bed for Phil. A bowl of Raisin Bran. Then off to work. I got home and it was the worst day at work. I cried for most of the ride home but who cares right! I got home and Phil walked in behind me with flowers, a popcorn popper, and popcorn.

For those of you who don't know I love air popped popcorn. When we got married Phil helped me move out of my apartment and threw my popcorn popper away. I tease him all the time about "I wish I had my popcorn popper" so now I have one. I on the other hand opted not to get my husband anything because I didn't know what to get him. The only thing I could think of was a WII and that is $300.00. After lots of crying because Phil kept asking where his gift and I felt like a bad wife, we went and ate. I just want Phil to know he is a great husband. I am an emotional person (who isn't once a month) and he is always so patient with me. I love you BABE!!

Oh, about the one photo of him, he tried to grow some facial hair
last winter. The stach is all he could grow. Looks kinda creepy if you ask me.
What a busy few weeks for us. Phil is still in school and I am still working. Phil's mom went to Japan for 3 weeks and got home right before the 4Th. She bought us some great Japanese souvenirs. My favorite gift were the socks. I have never seen anything like them. She told me she got them because I always were FLIP FLOPS and now in the winter my feet will stay warm and I can still wear my favorite shoes. Thanks Sally for the gifts we loved them.

The 4Th was good as usual. We spent the day just chillaxion (sp) and went up to the Ashton's for a BBQ. After that we set off fire works. I was sad that my family weren't able to make it but hopefully next year.

On the 5Th Phil and I woke up really early to go to LAGOON with July, Cory and Cayman. Cayman got sick so she was not able to come. It was a BLAST!! They have got some pretty good rides and I was impressed with July for riding most of them. Cory and Phil were so excited it reminded me of little boys. After Lagoon, Phil and I got a hotel room and went to Gateway. We ran into July, Cory, and Cayman. I love that little girl. I wish she lived closer. Uncle Phil let her build a bear and it was fun.

Phil's brother Seth blessed Baby Miles on Sunday. It was fun to be with the Ashton's. Phil was so cute with Miles. I have never seem him like that with a baby before. I only see him teasing Sage, Annie, and Brig. After the blessing it was back to reality. We had to come home, clean, do laundry and get ready for the week ahead of us. Only two more weeks and Phil is done with SCHOOL!!!
