The Joys Of Being An Adult

Last week Nick and I had to pay for his car getting fixed ... $500. And yesterday I had to get my car inspected and registered.... another $500. I also found out my schedule for the Holidays and well I am not loving it. Needless to say I was in one bad mood the past couple of days. The lyrics that best describe how I felt yesterday as I was driving back from Ephraim is by Jacks Mannequin.... "I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge. Unraveling with every word".  I was so stressed and so annoyed. Well today I got online and I saw that I finally got my degree posted on my transcripts. I also saw that I graduated Cum Laude. That made me feel a little better. Maybe there is a rainbow after a lot of rain.

Nick and I have been married for a year. Time has really gone by fast. It seems not long ago I was working at the Testing Center hoping Testing Center Boy would walk in. Now we are living in our second home. I am graduated from Utah State and Nick has his LPN and is going to school for his RN. We have had a lot of good times the past year.  And we have so many more good times to come.

Nick and I went with his mom and brother to Seattle for a few days. It was so much fun. It was just what the doctor ordered. We did all the things that tourists do. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe and let me tell you... that is my favorite one I have even been to. It was so awesome. The whole atmosphere and everything was so... well awesome.  We took a ferry to the San Juan Islands. It was interesting seeing how the ferry works. It was a lot of fun. We saw the famous gum wall. It was so nasty, but yet cool. Who does that? Who decides to put gum on a wall? Oh well.We went to a Mariners game and a Sounders game. It was a lot of fun. Nick was giddy about seeing both Safeco and Quest field. He loves his Seattle teams. We had donuts at Top Pot a famous donut shop. Of course we went to the Space needle and the Science center. It was so cool. The people from Seattle really love their coffee. They have a Starbucks on every corner! I really loved Seattle. I can't wait to go back again.
