Pinteresting?

The Boys have discovered Pinterest!

Making baskets,building shelves, lets see that.

soon after this picture they pulled it up the internet on the TV so they could

see it bigger! P.S. I love how they are all on the same couch.

Lyle stayed up way after me measuring and concocting ideas in his head

for some home additions!

Picture Overload- Loving Pullman

I am loving Pullman, we have have great friends here, the community is overwhelmingly nice- really they go out of there way to get to know a new face-- did I already tell you that? So here are some misc. pictures that I have not posted and a little caption below them to explain kind of what is going on! I stole the last of summer ones from Mary- So thanks Mar for the great photos! We have a new found love of ice cream here and Dairy Queen is the winner of our choice most nights. Lyle has taken us exploring, farmers markets (they are great here), walks, and little activities on improving my house!

Looky Looky TJ fits in a 'One Size Fits All'

maybe thats why they were at Rite-Aid?

Welcome to our Home Tour.

I am deciding to give you a peak of my house, do not judge because it is not done yet but soon enough it will be! This place is starting to grow on me I like it more and more, I think its so nice to be walking distance from friends and the ward here is so great, we've got recipe group, walking group, zumba group. I have become quite the little hippie who knows by the end of these 4 years I will be wearing Patagonia shirts, Jerusalem cruiser/water shoe looking sandals and own a pair of Birkenstocks. I am loving that TJ and Micall our really good friends are just up the stairs and down the hall its so fun- like living in a hotel. It would get old permanently but for now I am loving it! Our other friends Kyle and Tess just live down the hill as well and I am so glad that we have great friends up here. They have become our family away from our family. We have family dinners, family decorate/hang things up at britts house-- I am sure they love coming to my house, game night, movie night. sit and stair at Whitakers blank wall where there should be a TV night, etc etc etc.

Welcome to our home room/apartment

if only I could paint that wall.

We found this old Dairy Milk Carrier so Lyle puts his shoes in it. Because

Im Back! - Update

Ok, not having internet has been exhausting literally. Yesterday I had to go to the public library.- I am not too good for the public library but instances like this make me 'uncomfortable'. I'll tell

my story and then catch up and everything that has happened in the last couple of weeks.

NOTICE: CAT LOVERS MAY FIND THIS OFFENSIVE-

We have not had internet here for a while (ok 2 weeks) and I have been using for my phone for

everything. Looking for jobs on my phone is a joke so I headed to the public library and found a great spot, pulled out my lap top and began. Then, some lady with her cat in her jazzy cart comes wheeling over past me. At first I was not bothered ( ok a little but Im working on it) but when the cat got out of the cart and was wondering around the furniture getting comfortable I died-then she brings out lunch for the kitty. And they shared.

seriously?

yep it happened-- she shared lunch with her cat at the public library and I took pictures.(that I cannot share on my blog until I go private)

Lyle is going to kill me and make me take this off of here so read while you can.

He is working on animal bond/love between patients.

Ok catching up:

We moved here and into our place all in one day it was exhausting but so worth it to just get it done. The next day we ordered furniture, put things away, filled out contracts and boring things no one cares about. That Monday ( which was my birthday) Lyle left for "girls camp" its the orientation camp they do for school. There I was all alone on my birthday with not even furniture. Ok, Birthdays are a huge deal in my house. [Let me rephrase that anything that involves anything is a big deal in my house]. However my Birthday was not bad at all, the spouses from the vet school took me out to dinner and we had a blast. I spent a few day getting our house together, We picked Linda up at the airport, Lyle had his white coat ceremony, took Linda to the airport, Lyle started school Monday. whoooof did you get all that?

When we first got here I was so terribly home sick for Logan, I know that sounds like a total 'Utah snob' quite frankly I do not care. I love logan, but this place is growing on me there is no 'real' stores and Spokane feels like a bajillion (74) miles to be exact away. It seriously feels like we live in the 60's here everyone is unbelievably nice. Not just nice- incredibly nice anywhere you go Mcdonalds,Dairy queen, Ace Hardware even Walmart well thats all the stores. haha The Ward is incredibly nice and great, our Apartment makes me feel a little civilized I will post pictures when its done, I cant stand the the thought of my internet world seeing my house not all done* Perfectionist 101 but I am working on it.

Ok I have to go pick Lyle from school ( oh one last thought the campus here rocks, makes me feel like my USU education was jipped) AND YES THE CAMPUS IS BIGGER THAN BYU for those of you who compare everything in size to them.

ADIOS!

Leaving

Just thinking- Last night I was listening to the coyotes' howl and it reminded me of

my very first hunting trip with my dad. ( I was 6) and was so scared the coyotes would pace the tent and howl so I kept waking him up asking what they wanted He finally goes "Britt Nothing is going to happen" and a classic line "they are more scared of you than you are of them" 'Oh thats reassuring i'll go right to sleep right now'( Get real).

The next day He took me into Grouse Creek to my Grandma Roche's lifetime friend Luanna- she lived in Riverside but had a house there and happened to be there that weekend so I spent the day with her watching Milo & Otis.

Oh P.S. This was my first time going to the 'Desert' - I had in my mind like a Saudi Arabian rolling hills ( Aladdin) I was in for a real shock ha I kept saying this is not the desert.

Ok- So I am starting to pack and I do not have that much stuff and I seriously am getting discouraged. I cannot wait to see our new place and meet up with all of our friends that will be up there. Lyle is nervous, I am not that nervous I am just anxious to get a job, move in, and be settled. I do get nervous with the thought of being 12 hours from either of our families. I am going to miss Fallon and all of our friends and family here as well as my family and friends in Logan/Riverside. We pull out Thursday! It feels weird not going back to Logan or Starting school

This is what grown up feels like

( ok so my dad use to say when your all growd up) I am

not a complete hill billy.

right?

Sometimes I wish I was starting Kindergarden again- then again I remember counting the Years until I was done with school when I was in k-5. Especially in H.S. just wanting to stay out and now I kill to be in bed by 10:30.

this picture is off but there is me and Josh Capener (purple shirt) I do not know who the

rest of them are sadly. My mom loves bows--nuff said

ps does anyone remember the enuf sweats?

late 80's-90's era

I am pretty sure my Gram- who took my bus picture still uses her Kodak instant shot

camera.
