so, obviously i'm not a blogger. however, while i might not blog much i thoroughly enjoy reading others' blogs! i guess you can say "blog stalker" is the technical term ;)
anyway, since i read blogs that everyone has worked hard over, why not give back and share my thoughts? admittedly, we're at a slow pace here in our lives with both of us working full time and nothing super exciting in between. but i'm willing to give it a shot again. comment away; it'll bring encouragement!

Weird...
What?! I'm willing to redo my blog background but too lazy to put up a post? Yep!
Sorry guys, I'm just really bad at this whole blogging thing. Not much to really blog about! Maybe when the holidays are here I can post up some pics! But for now, just check Facebook to see how we're all doing!

An update...
So, this summer hasn't been that eventful so far, but we've had some fun trips home to Caldwell and to the park. Because of our dear economy (and living in Rexburg), I haven't been able to find a job. A couple of weeks ago, a guy in our ward mentioned that he had lost his job and was working for the temp. service while searching for a new job. "Well, why didn't we think of that a long time ago!" Kyle and I were thinking. The temp. service can also be used to find long-term and permanent jobs. So, this past week I got all signed up and interviewed and am now enduring the "waiting game" -- waiting for them to call and give me an assignment! Of course, it's kind of nerve wracking to go work at a random place, but at least it's work. My goal is to have something permanent before the summer is over!
As you can probably tell, I've had more spare time than I can handle. After I graduated, I was driving myself nuts with boredom and job searching! Thankfully, I have found some nice things to do. I've been going to the public library about once a week to get some books. Unfortunately, a lot of people have the same idea, so most of the books I want to read are always checked out. Also, the nature park in northern Rexburg is such a nice place to go to, and not a lot of the students go there. They have a huge pond with ducks, so we always bring bread to feed the ducks! Hey, it's a kid thing, but there will always be a little kid inside an adult! Haha! The park is right by the Rexburg airport, which is actually pretty entertaining. It's fun to watch the planes and helicopters come and go. Kyle and I want to try camping a couple of times before the summer is over. We don't have a lot of camping stuff, so we'd have to rent from BYU-I's ORC (outdoor rec. center). Not being Eastern Idahoans, we also don't know good places to camp. Anyone have any good locations? I heard that Island Park was a good place...
Recently I organized my pictures on my computer. Holy crap, I have a ton of pictures from over the years! I've always wanted to try photo shop and, after surfing around the Internet for a while, found a site that I can use for free (there is a Premium version available for about $25/year, but I'll stick to the free basics!). The website is www.Picnik.com, and I recommend it if anyone is looking for some basic photo shopping! I did a couple of experiments, too. I tried first on my wedding photos, since they're the prettiest in my opinion, but found that they didn't need photo shop done to them at all! They're just pretty as they are. So, I did a couple of other random photos.
This pic I took last month when Kinsey, Mama Bert, and I went and got ice cream. I basically just enhanced the photo's colors to make the ice cream experience more "fun." Plus, it's a cute picture of Kinsey! Haha.
I added some simple words to this photo!
Kinsey and I modeling the purses that Ben sent from Peru. I made it so that the purses were the focal point of the pic.
I looove this pic of Ben! This is his area in Peru: the dirty hills.
This is from our honeymoon. Kyle wanted a picture with this hippy fortune teller. Since it's hard to tell why this picture was taken, I fixed it so that the hippy fortune teller guy was the focal point. I also love this pic because Kyle looks nervous getting his pic. with this guy! Haha. He had no reason to be nervous!
Well, that's all for the update! Maybe I'll be better with posting on this blog in the future.

The Wounds of Earning Money...
Yes, I know it's been a while since I posted; don't remind me ;). Lately, there's been nothing to post about: school, work, and other unexciting stuff! Well, one exciting event is coming up in less than 3 weeks...my graduation! I am very excited about graduating from BYU-I and I'm so surprised at how fast these 4 years have gone by! I've been tired of going to school for a month now, but I will be sad to leave BYU-I. It has been a great school these past 4 years.
To pick up some extra money, Kyle's been donating plasma twice a week; here at the plasma center you get PAID to donate it! I don't really want to do it (why feel sick twice a week? It's like giving blood), but Kyle loves doing it and it's an easy $70/week. He rarely has had any problems with feeling woozy and such, but the other day a new guy was trying to put the needle into his arm. To make a long story short, the new guy did a rather crappy job of trying to find a vein and ended up bruising both of Kyle's arms and making him bleed! He never ended up donating plasma that day, but he still got paid for it.
I took this after he came home from the plasma center that day. Poor Kyle...
And this was taken about a day or so after. Surprisingly, the other arm didn't bruise!

Long time no blog!
It's been a while since the last post, and plenty has happened, so I thought I'd fill with what's happened!
About a month ago, before school started, we decided to go play mini-golf! There's this activity place in Rigby that also has go-karts and a corn-maze in the fall. It's kinda like a mini-Boondocks. VERY mini. It was a little windy (go figure), but the wind didn't hinder the game too much!
As you can tell, Kyle takes golf VERY seriously. Seriously. lol
I, on the other hand, have no idea what I'm doing and just aim the ball for the hole!
I actually didn't play too badly!
My ball always fell in this little pond, though. Kyle had to fetch the ball a lot. :) He's so nice!
But, at the very end, it was I who had the best score! Can you believe it? As you can see in the above pic. Kyle didn't take it very well. lol jk!
And that concludes the little fun outing we had!
School also started the eight of September, so Kyle and I have been pretty busy with all that junk! That, and jobs. I'm wanting to graduate next April so I'm taking a full load this semester to graduate in time! 17 credits has been kicking my butt so far, too! I also have a little job on campus as a TA for one of the teachers. It's my second TA job and I really enjoy it. TAing is fun, but I don't ever think I could be a teacher! Kyle has been taking 14 credits so that he can work more since I'm not working a lot. He works at a Paralegal call center where people in debt call in for help and Kyle tries to sell debt-consultation, or something like that! He really likes it and has been doing really well in sells! He really loves his classes, too! His favorite classes are Old Testament and his humanities class. Fun fun! I don't really have a favorite class, but there are classes I enjoy more than others because of the teacher and the class! That's been our semester so far! We also can't wait for Halloween and have cool costumes lined up!
