Getting Ready for Christmas 2010

This Thanksgiving we went to Tooele to be with Lisa's family and grandparents. It was a lot of fun. Once we got back home on Friday we decided to set up for Christmas and we went a little overboard. As far as life goes we have three weeks of school left before Christmas break. We both registered for our final semester at Utah State. Very very exciting. The countdown to graduation has begun. Hopefully soon we will know where I will go for grad school. I have set up a visit to the University of Nebraska so hopefully everything will go well.

Pumpkin Madness!

So this year we kinda overdid it with pumpkin carving. We each carved three pumpkins. While we should be posting interesting stuff about our life and how awesome we are, we are boring people. We go to school, go to work, come home, eat dinner, do homework, and go to bed. Then we repeat it. We are worn out but we are happy. So this week we decided to go crazy on pumpkins. We started last Sunday with Lisa's Family.

We then had a pumpkin carving party on Wednesday with some of our friends. It was a lot of fun and we decided to try some challenging patterns. It was a good time.

Finally, today Lisa and I got back from watching Lisa's sister, Dayna, dive at a BYU diving meet and we decided to do one last set of pumpkins. We had already bought the pumpkins so we sucked it up and carved them.

So that was our Halloween celebration this year. We are doing great. I am starting to apply to grad school. I took the GRE and now I am working on the applications. Tons of fun. So far I am thinking of either going to the University of Nebraska or staying here at Utah State. I'm not sure which one I will pick yet but hopefully we will figure it out soon.

Catching Up, Its been a while!

It's been a long time.

We haven't been very good about keeping up on our blog. We have decided to undertake a few projects this past summer. We refinished a bench seat that we received when we got married. It had a flower patterned fabric on it and we really didn't like it so we decided to fix it. We also sanded down a nightstand and attempted to stain it. It turned out okay for our first attempt. Over the Summer we really didn't do much. We worked and Lisa had a few classes. Lisa is still working at the Providence Inn coordinating weddings and working the front desk. She is also working for a company called ULA, Ultra Light Adventure Equipment. She helps sew and assemble high end ultralight backpacks that are mostly used on the Appalachian Trail back east. I continued to work at the Waterlab over the summer. I spent a majority of the Summer out in a field that was irrigated with treated wastewater (Yummy!) and also out sampling the Bear River and Cutler Reservoir. I also worked with handicapped adults at North Eastern Services. Lisa passed her Anatomy class over the Summer and I passed my Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Lisa has also been making a lot of jam. A lot lot lot lot of jam and I love it. We have Strawberry, Peach, Raspberry, and Peach-Raspberry Jam. They are all amazing.

School has once again started back up. This is our final year of school. Graduation is so close and yet so far. Lisa wants to become a personal trainer once she graduates. She is very very excited to almost be done with school. Once I graduate in Environmental Engineering I will immediately start into grad school. I am not quite sure where I will end up going but I will quickly start filling out applications and going through all the motions. We moved to a new apartment in May. It is a nice 2 bedroom apartment in Providence. For those who don't know where that is, it immediately South of Logan. We are ten minutes away from campus. We love our new place and are very happy here.

Other than that we are same old same old. Once we get out of school we might have interesting lives.

Our Project!

My Aunt gave us this bench seat when we got married. We finally got around to recovering it.

Our Bedroom!

We wanted to make the bench seat match the bed.

We also bought a Wii. That was mainly for my enjoyment but it has been nice to watch movies on with Netflix.

Hello!!! I'm actually writing on our blog. I think it's a miracle. Seth is usually the one to do it. Just wanted to post a little update. There isn't much going on in our lives. We started school again today. We both have three semester then we will graduate with out bachelors then we will start into our masters programs. Other than that we are just working hard.
