day sixty - stand a little taller.

Day 60 - A picture of something you are excited about.

Iono. I'm excited about being married to the most awesome girl in the world. And the most beautiful. No offense. I was excited about McDonald's for dinner this evening after work too. I needed that greasy food to liven up my long day.

Katie and I ate in the park. The breeze was perfect but I was totally out of it. Still am. Can't wait to jump on that memory foam topper and..spoon. That's how Katie likes to sleep anyway. By five tomorrow morning, I'll be back on my stomach, mad that the alarm clock is al-ready going off. I feel bad because Katie wants to get out of the house and do things before school when I get off of work, but all I can think about is bed. So if you know of any part-time jobs that start later than six in the morning, please let me know. Katie likes walking to school too. I don't blame her, it's beautiful. But I'm lame and take the Boise State Shuttle.

Maybe because I'm exhausted. Maybe I'm just lazy. But Katie comes with me anyway 'cause she loves me. I always walk home. I like to watch the river. Especially when class is over and the sun is setting. Katie makes fun of me because I like to take the elevator at school. She tries to makes me take the stairs. When I can break free from Katie's gorilla grip, I race her up. I think she cheats by running up the stairs. She's always breathing hard at the top as she explains how much faster taking the stairs is. Can't trick me. I'll find the easy way. And I'll take it. Putting all jokes aside, I really do work hard. I couldn't imagine having children right now with my schedule. Don't get me wrong, I want one. A child that is. I just want to be able to support a family. A good dad. One that makes time to attend every school event. One that makes time to teach and to play. And I'm still working on that best husband award. I don't know what it takes to accomplish the feat. I still have a lot of work to do. But I do know one thing, everyday I stand a little taller.

day fifty-nine - it's a robot monopoly.

Day 59 - A picture of a random item that you own.


I am determined to finish this sixty day challenge. I've come so far. ha. I haven't written on here in a while because I was sad that all of my pictures disappeared on me. I still am. And I'm not going to re-upload eevery single picture because I don't have the time. I did redo a lot of things though. I had a little time on Sunday, because I finally have Sunday's off again! I'm so excited about it! You have no idea. I haven't been to church in like a year because I've had to work to support our family. It's only the two of us and our little dog, Jimi, but we still require a small paycheck, a lot of love, and student loans. But with the little money we had, we still managed to have a fun last week of summer. We went down to Burley, Idaho and brought Shalis back with us to Boise. We saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which I thought was awesome. I didn't expect much. I just hoped for the best and got it. Shalis, Katie and I also went to the Mayday Parade concert where we were soaked with water..and sweat. I know, I know. Gross. All Time Low headlined, but we pretty much went for Mayday Parade. Tonight, Katie and I have class again. This is the second week of fall semester. Katie and I are off to Chemistry 102 at six and then Katie gets to go home while I angrily speed walk to my math class. Just a little over exaggerated, but that's not important. What's important is..I need to quit one of my jobs. I'm working two and going to school full-time. The problem is the home health agency I work for won't give me enough consistent hours and the nursing home I work for gives me too many hours. I'm working like forty hours a week. Actually, more if you count my home health hours. And I'm going to school full-time. I feel pretty run down. Katie is applying for jobs but we only have one car and I don't want her to have to work. But whatever. Enough about my life. 

Let's look at a random thing that I own. So much more exciting. Monopoly. The Here & Now New Zealand Edition. Not gonna' lie, this game is totally legit. Sheep, a jar of vegemite, jandals. Ninety mile beach, Waimoto caves, ports, and ferries. Apparently, it's suppose to be the future edition. I guess that's why the 'here and now' was added so they added a mobile phone to the game pieces. haha. I guess it makes sense since New Zealand had just started getting cell phones when I bought this. I think they have like two different cell phone companies now. So they can compete with each other. It use to be just the one. 

And Katie's random item is her robot necklace. She wears it all of the time. And personally, I think it's awesome. She bought it with Shalis so they both have one. They take pictures at different places with their robots and send them back and forth. Shalis' robot is missing a leg. It's kind of funny, because Shalis is missing a leg. But only temporarily. She sprained her knee so technically it's not missing. But it's basically missing. I find it pretty extraordinary that they can still go on adventures together. Having one leg each and all.

i lost my pictures..and my summer.

Alright, so I don't know what's up with the pictures on my blog. None of them work anymore. Which really sucks. Katie and I still have two weeks left in Anatomy and Physiology. I just got a new job at Capitol Care and Rehabilitation and the old people at my work are really funny. Here's a conversation I overheard this morning while feeding a resident her breakfast:

Dorris referring to her breakfast this morning: "It's a slam dunk..it's a slam dunk."

She gets a confused look from Tonnie across the table.

Dorris: "It's a slam dunk."

Tonnie: "What's a slam dunk?"

Dorris: "Michael Jordan. Put the ball in the basket. Slam dunk."

Tonnie: "Huh."

She thought her breakfast looked like the Denny's grand slam. Grand slam. Slam dunk. I guess it works. 

Last week, Katie and I floated the river from Barber Park to Ann Morrison Park. It was really fun. Besides the fact that the 102 degree weather disappeared five minutes into the float. Clouds covered the sky and the sun pretty much disappeared, leaving us cold and wet. The breeze didn't help either. We may go again this weekend if we get a little free time. I guess I won't be doing any chillin' 'til next break. I really wish my pictures would reappear. Oh well. Thanks for letting me vent.
