4 Bedspreads Later

A couple of weekends ago we bought a new bedroom set and I absolutely love it. The only problem, it didn't all fit in our room. We could only fit three of the five pieces, but I'm sure we'll use it all in the future. Ever since we bought the bed I've been trying to find a new bedspread. I kept buying them, not liking them, and then taking them back. I did this about 3 times until I finally found one that I really liked.

So we had a bit of a crazy Easter weekend. It started Friday night when we delivered my Dad's new truck to him in Arbon. Bryce was so jealous. I'm pretty sure he wanted to keep the truck for himself. My Dad was quite excited about having a new truck too. But I'm pretty sure Dustin will be taking it over when he gets back from his mission.














On Saturday Bryce spent the day helping my Dad get some projects done on the farm. They did everything from moving vehicles to changing the starter in a tracker. I really appreciate Bryce being so willing to help my Dad. I know my Dad really appreciates the help too, especially with Dustin being gone. Late that afternoon we left Arbon and headed straight to Burley. We had plans to hang out with one of Bryce's high school buddies, Brooks. We ate at my favorite resturant, the Drift. They have the most delicious finger steaks. On a whim we decided to head to Jackpot, Nevada. Me and Brooks had never been before. We got there around 10:30, gambled for a couple of hours, ate some nasty breakfast, and then headed home. Bryce and Brooks played blackjack the whole night while I watched and played the penny slots. We didn't win anything but we had a great time. We didn't get home until about 4:00 in the morning. So we spent the next day catching up on our sleep.

We finally made it.

Bingham Update

So it's been a while since my last post so I thought I'd give every one an update. Currently Bryce and I are just both working. Bryce works at Miller Autobody fixing cars and he loves it. He has worked at a few different shops in the valley and this seems to be the best fit. I am working at Malad High School teaching math. I teach Math Essentials, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. I, too, love my job. I love the students that I teach (most days); they keep me laughing all day. My biggest worry about teaching in Malad was making the commute everyday, especially during the winter. However, it really hasn't been that bad. I only had one emotional break down after the first and worst snow storm of the year.

Last summer, Bryce and I bought our first house and it's absolutely perfect. This year the house will be a century old. We have spent the last year making this house into our home. We haven’t had to do a lot, just a little painting and cleaning all the junk out of the shop/garage. The house was in great condition when we moved in. We’re excited for this summer so we can get some work done outside. Our plans include putting in a new fence, planting some grass, and redoing the retaining wall.

When we bought the house the previous owners left use a letter explaining that they started feeding a stray cat and it usually stays around the house. Bryce and I are not really cat people but we fell in love with this cat. Her name is Indiana but Bryce likes to call her Huey. She has such an attitude and keeps us entertained. She is also quite the “killing machine,” we find bird feathers outside all the time. I’m pretty sure she thinks she owns the house and just lets us stay in it. We like to joke that we bought a really expensive cat and they threw in a house.
