Christmas presents and burnt out light bulbs

Kevin always tells me that he never knows what to get me for my birthday, Christmas, etc. I think he should not complain about this fact because in reality, I just don't care. I think that should be viewed as a blessing :) If I really want something, I'll tell him.

That is what happened yesterday. I found out that "The Forgotten Carols" will be playing in Idaho Falls the last week in November. I guess it's a little early for a Christmas present, but I told him that's what I want. Plus, we're planning on going to Washington for Christmas, so that's present enough since it will have been over a year since we were last there. I saw the play in high school. It was put on by a local theater group I believe. It was good, but I can't imagine how much better it will be watching professionals act out such a great story. I remember as a kid reading it as a family around Christmas time. It's such a beautiful story and I can't wait to go see it live!

So we'll see if Kevin remembers to get tickets before they sell out...fingers crossed!!

In other news, today I went into our bathroom and turned on the light. It flickered and rattled a bit, so I turned it off. Then I tried to turn it back on. That was a no-go. So we went to Wal-mart tonight to get a replacement bulb. Kevin went to replace it and realized the new bulb is about 1/2 the size of the original bulb. It fits in the spot, but now we can see in to light fixture where there is lots of dust and whatever else. Eventually I'll get around to dusting it out. Eventually...

Déjà vu

So it seems this Fall sickness will be a yearly thing. This is the second year in a row that Kevin has gotten sick and then just as he is getting better, I get it. Yay. Runny nose and coughing are no fun especially during school and work. Oh well, if that's the worse part of a yearly sickness, I think it'll be ok.

On the plus side, Rexburg has been absolutely gorgeous these past few days. The temperature has been in the mid to upper 70s. Loving it! Right now it's 79 degrees and tomorrows high is 83 degrees and sunny :) Maybe I'll try doing my homework outside. Hopefully that will make me feel healthier...we'll see :)

Here Goes Nothing

Since I have always been terrible at journal writing, this should be an interesting endeavor. Even though I've never been good at writing down anything or everything, I have a knack for "bloggin stalkin" as Kevin so lovingly calls it. And in my opinion it's only fair to let others stalk us from the comfort of their own couch as well! So enjoy! Our life is anything but boring, so hopefully we (or probably just I) will find the time to at least get little tidbits about our life on here for you all to read.
