Time to READ

So we are starting to think that we don't have as many people reading this as we thought but thats just fine. As we said in our last post we are completely moved into our new arartment. Our address is 3905 Alpine St. in Boise. We are so much more at home and happier here than we thought we would be and we have only been here for two days. Still no pictures but they are soon to come.

Move Along

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post to let everyone know that we are officially moved over to the new apartment. We did it in 2 and a half days by ourselves and we are exhausted but very happy:)

Anyway, this is very short and lame but that's all I have time or energy to write at the time being. I will be posting pictures soon of my new hair cut and color and of the new place.

That's all for now!

What a couple of weeks!

Lets start with a couple of gooooood jokes.

Okay now down to the matter at hand.

Okay so its been a little while since our last update so here it goes. We have been so busy doing everything that we can. Last weekend we went to one of Boise's many b-e-a-utiful parks and took diesel for a walk and to chase the ducks and geese. We got there and saw all the little baby geese and just had to watch them and get real close. They are just so cute and fuzzy and you just want to grab it and snuggle it right up. (But stay away from MOM)

This week Alan has been playing with a Snorkelift Boom at work. It is a boom that extends out to fifty feet and is just too much fun to be driving around on. He used it to clean out the rain gutters at the apartments and also patch holes in the roof and holes in the eaves from birds nesting and squirals getting in and trying to live and eat through wires and right into some homes. Its quite a view looking over the city of trees from that high up.


And in other news, our little lap dog is no longer a little lap dog or ferret size like he thinks that he is. He is now five months old and 20 plus pounds! He is not the same kind of dog that we were told he is. We think that a larger dog (maybe a lab or such) got into the mix and has turned him into a good looking medium sized dog. We are excited to see just how large he will get by the time he is full grown. We also think that some type of gremlin or ewak is in there because he can be a little monster and looks the part some times.

The New Lowdown on the New Skinny

Okay so it is now official. We will be moving the the apartment complex this month. We will still be so close to everything that we can do anything we want. We will also be so much close to work now so that will help with gas money and everything else. We will be getting pictures of the new place and will put them up as soon as we can. We will be slowly moving over tho make it easier on us. It will be easier to move over time than all at once. By the time you are done reading this you will be tired of the word will.

Moving????

Okay so it is true. We are planning on moving to one of the apartments at Alan's work. At first we didn't like the idea of living on site because we have this wonderful house that is in the woods next to the river and a large pond but now we are thinking that it would be good for us.

We are going to be able to go back to school and be a lot closer to everything. We are thinking that by living on site we will be able to help our mother earth by not using as much gas and we will be helping out the company by having someone on site.

Okay but the real reason is to save money and to go back to school. We will be only about five minutes from campus and downtown. Plus it will be a lot cheaper rent and no utilities so double bonus.

Stacy will be going back to school first and after a while Alan will go and get it done. Stacy is looking into Social Work for her major and Anthropology as a minor. Alan is planning on going into nursing. We are thinking that Stacy could be able to graduate with a bachelors in two to three years. Alan would be able to do the RN progam in about the same amount of time. Nothing is set in stone right now until we work out all of the details and logistics of the process but we will keep everyone in the loop and let you all know what the final plans are and when the change will be coming. Until that time nothing is changing.

Oh the Beauty of NATURE

So this has been a very exciting and happening week. On Wednesday we went with Alan's work and residents to watch an Idaho Stampede basketball game. It's not bad getting paid to go on a date night. We got court side seats and ten dollars worth of food each. Why can't we always get paid to do things like that?

On our way to the store on Saturday we were able to watch as a graceful eagle majestically soared over our heads with a large fish grasped in its large and powerful talons. Shortly after we saw a loving mother goose with her newly hatched baby balls of fluff standing beside the pond along the road way. Later in the day after helping with an alternator problem, we decided to go for a fish. Upon arrival of said pond we watched as a large (ten to fifteen pounds or even larger) grass carp jumped out of the water after some little bugs a few times in a row. We had a couple of visiting fishermen at the pond with us but they were unlucky and did not catch anything. We however were very skilled and were able to fight and prevail over the fish. We caught a total of five before calling it a day. Oh and did I mention that it was all with flyrods and not the traditional spinner rods?

Our largest prize of the day was a five pound Smallmouth Bass that put up a real good fight and did not want to be caught. He was pulled in and photographed to ensure that everyone is able to see just what we are all about.

Weekend Sillyness . . . Silliness? Silleeeenessss

We were walking around downtown the other day and it was too hot for hoody's so . . . there was MUCH skipping involved.

Alan's been remodeling some apartments at his work. They look so good! Plus he got to use a cool paint sprayer machine . . .
