You're living in a what?!

So since it's pretty official and a lot of people have been approaching me about living in a barn.. I think I can now say yes that is true. 

We are moving to an old milk barn the first of may, and we cannot wait! I laugh to myself because if we stay there until we have kids we can tell our kids that they were raised in a barn! 

It sounds way sketchy, I know, but it's way better than it sounds I promise! I'll post pictures when we get all settled in, but for now I'll let your imaginations scare you ;) 

No but seriously all jokes aside, we couldn't be more blessed to have this house become available to us at such a perfect timing. We were excited when the option became available and we were able to have a house in our same ward. 

The house is smaller than our apartment now, which is kind of scary, but honestly I feel like less is more. I'm tired of having boxes of stuff in our spare bedrooms. I have gotten rid of so much crap that we have accumulated just from being in this apartment for a year. I am changing all my decorations for our new house though, and the excitement is killing me! I have already taken everything off my walls here, and started lots of projects for the new place.

There were two weeks in March that I barely touched my homework. Soo not a good thing. I'm already struggling with the idea of staying in school right now. I'm so ready to be D O N E. I will finish it out til the end.. But let's get one thing clear.. I'm so ready to be done with homework deadlines and traveling to take tests! The day can't come soon enough. But really though, who else is struggling with the idea of forking out thousands of dollars a year for school? I refuse to take out a student loan, and I hate not working as much and taking a pay cut, but this semester has taught me that I can't do it all. I am going to have to choose next semester.. Work a lot and little school? Or little school and work a lot. Time will tell what's best for me. 

Farm work is starting to pick up and get busier. As the weeks go by the time that Collin gets home will slowly get later and later. I can't wait for summertime! But dread seeing him less.

I posted a picture on Instagram a couple weeks ago about going to the dermatologist and what not. Girls if you are tanning. Stop! I have always been good about going to the dermatologist since I was younger and having my moles checked, but I've had some start changing. And since I used to tan a lot in high school I, along with my dermatologist, was worried about them. Long story short they took some off and biopsied them only to find out they are pre-cancerous. So now I have to go back in and let them cut out the tissue around where the moles were and then they'll stitch me up. Yuck. Who wants two ugly scars on their stomach? Not me! But I'd surely rather be safe than sorry. Quit tanning and go to the dermatologist if you have any moles changing or itching. End of rant. :)

Anyways, life is good. We are great! Busy as always and blessed as ever. Until next time! 










Did I mention my husband has a mullet?

February

February was short. We didn't do a whole lot to be honest. We did go to Cheesecake Factory for Valentines Day, which is my all time favorite. 

It's starting to be more like spring, with the exception of some random snowfalls here and there.

We have been addicted to this tv show called Nashville. We love it! Every time we finish a series on Netflix we think we will never find one we like as much as the one we just finished, and then we always get proved wrong and find one we like even more! Collin got suckered into the Direct TV guy's whole spill on what it would cost, the deals we can get etc etc. I really just can't get myself to spend that kind of money on just TV! So we passed for now. Hulu and Netflix will have to do. --I just re-read this and we totally sound like tv junkies! We aren't, but when you only have Netflix or Hulu it adds up fast!

Toshy girl had to go to the vet a couple weeks ago and she was put under. Well she decided to pee all over the vet counter, which they said is totally normal, but It was still funny. Then, the whole drive home she was still peeing and I had to hold a rag to her bum to soak it up and keep it from going all over the truck. It was pretty funny. We love her. 



Track has started which means Collin will start helping to coach hurdles here pretty quick. I love the fact that he coaches because it means we get to go to state track in Boise, and what's in Boise? Oh yeah another Cheesecake Factory! Bahahaha.. 

I have spring fever and just want to be outside and cleaning things right now! I can't stand just sitting and I always want to be doing something! I love this time of the year almost as much as I love fall.

The change of seasons makes me want to go shopping crazy and get a whole new wardrobe. Bright colors, sandals, capris, swimsuits, the whole thing! I can't let myself go shopping without my husband because he reminds me what I don't need, which is basically everything, but I just want springy clothes I can't help it! 

By next time I write we could be moved into our new place and I'm super excited! Can't wait to show you all. :)
