Anyway, my Jacob is so cute. I told him thank you, because we got over 500.00 in clothes for around $50.00. He told me that he loves to go shopping with me because he loves to see me happy. I thought that was so sweet. I hate waiting around while other people try stuff on. I guess a guy will do anything for love.

My new coats and sweaters!
So Jacob and I went to Idaho Falls (for those of you that don't know Idaho, Idaho falls is about 30mins from Rexburg) about a month ago so I could buy some new bras. You know how that goes. Well the Lane Bryant here has two entrances to the two sides of the store, so I purposely walked in the sides with the bras because I knew we did not have any extra money and so I did not want to get tempted by the clothes. Well I picked out some $6.99 bras. I was very impressed with my find. Then low and behold I see Jacob over in the clearance area with an arm full of clothes.
This is one of his finds. It is a long sweater, you can't tell by the picture. I thought it was going to look awful but I actually really like it. It was Reg 49.99 we got it for $6.99.
Then he found me this pea coat and he was very proud of himself. He said that there was another couple in front of the rack and he was just hoping and praying that they didn't grab it. I didn't know if I would like this either but I love it. Reg 69.99 we got it for 6.99!
This is my treanchcoat/raincoat. I absolutely love it. It is regularly 119.99 and I thought it was 6.99, we got to the register and they said it was 20.00 but I loved it so much and it was such a good deal I had to get it. I thought it looked really cute with my skirt I wear to church.
This demin coat too was 6.99, I wasn't sure what I thought about it. However, I did wear it to school and I got a ton of compliments. I guess it looked pretty good then. I think in some ways it makes my torso seem really short.
Anyway, my Jacob is so cute. I told him thank you, because we got over 500.00 in clothes for around $50.00. He told me that he loves to go shopping with me because he loves to see me happy. I thought that was so sweet. I hate waiting around while other people try stuff on. I guess a guy will do anything for love.

Wicked fast internet in our new apartments
Okay so I just had to post about how wicked fast the internet at BYUi is. Danielle and I just moved in to University Village which is owned by Brigham Young University-Idaho and the internet for the apartments (all of our utilities are included in the rent even electricity) is the same internet that the school has and while it has some drawbacks (i.e. web filter blocks all access to gaming websites until 5pm M-F and facebook is blocked during that time also :( but this has definitely helped in not wasting time doing things on the internet when we are supposed to be doing schoolwork!!
Anywho I was curious how fast the internet connection is here so I went to www.speedtest.net here and tested the Idaho Falls server (it's like 30 minutes away) and these are the results that I got back

Why do people ask stupid questions?
I know this shouldn't be a complaining blog. However, there are just some questions that are better left un-asked. Since being here in Idaho I have had many people make comments about how we have been married three years and don't have any children yet. My very first week in church one of the sister had the audacity to tell me, "she couldn't believe that we had been married three years and didn't have any children. Then she went on to ask me if I knew that the prophets tell us we should have children". I am about ready to switch to a family ward instead of a married student ward, because you don't really fit in with the newlyweds and we don't fit in with the longer married couples because they all have children. It just gets really frustrating sometimes. I am also not trying to get a pity party, I think sometimes it just helps to voice your feelings. Then today I saw a guy that grew up in the same home ward as me. He asked how long we had been married. I showed him a pictures of Alia (Denise's daughter), because he was closer in age to Denise. He asked if we had any children yet? of course I said no, and then he said, "isn't that what the next step is after marriage". Anyway, he probably didn't say it to be mean, but maybe I should just wear a sign on me that says, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR THREE YEARS! I know for a fact that Jacob and I will have children someday. I know we will. It has taken me a lot of time and tears to figure that out. It just really puts a damper on your day. So please the next time you want to ask someone when they are going to start having children, don't do it because you never know what is going on in their life and their relationship.

MY AMAZING WIFE!!
I just HAD TO POST ABOUT HOW AWESOME AND AMAZING DANIELLE IS!! Today was moving day for us again :( We had already moved most of our stuff last weekend and then the maintainence crew made a mistake (see Danielle's earlier post) and so we had to move all of the stuff we moved in last week into our storage unit while they put in new carpet and painted our apartment. Not that Danielle needs any help in the amazing department but while I was at work today she completely finished packing up our apartment!! I love you so much sweetie!!

Moving in horrible! Why are we doing it again?
So we started moving stuff into our new apartment this weekend. They still had to clean the carpet so we could just move in stuff that fit in the closets and on the shelves. Any who, Jacob and I spent most of the weekend packing and moving. On Monday the landlord said we should be able to move in on Tuesday because the carpet should be dry. Anyway, she called this morning and she said that the maintenance guys made a mistake and took out the carpet, so now they have to re-paint and re-carpet. So she said we could move into one of the two bedroom flats. So we went to go look at it and we decided that we would take the flat instead of having to wait for the townhouse. We packed up our stuff in the town house to take it over to the flat and the manager called to tell us the school had already rented out the flat. So now we are waiting for the apartment to be finished with most of our belongings in our storage. It has been a crazy couple of days. Hopefully by the end of the week we will be ion our new apartment. It is super nice and will be perfect for us. It is also super close to the school.
This is the downstairs floor plan. It is more square footage than the flat but the flat has a bigger kitchen and master bedroom. The townhouse has 1.5bath so that is exciting.
This is the floor plan of the upstairs. Not to much to it. Right at the top of the stairs there is a empty closet that we will be able to stack boxes in and so we are going to be able to get rid of our storage. We are super excited because this apartment is going to save us tons of money. They pay for electricity, phone, cable and Internet. We are getting rid of one of our cell phones and our storage so we are going to have a bunch less bills.
This is the master bedroom and our awesome closet. I don't have any idea what we are going to put on the shelves. We don't have enough belongings.
This is a view from the spare bedroom of the upstairs hallway, with the bathroom on the right and the master bedroom straight ahead.
This is a view of the living room. Our pantry is right next to the cubby (sp) under the stairs. Then our kitchen and dining room is to the left of that.
This is a view from the dining room of the kitchen. I am excited to have a dining room because in the apartment we are in right now the living room, dining room, and kitchen are all connected.
Our Small kitchen. I like it but I liked the one in the flat a lot more because it was open and has lots of space.
This is in our dining room. I am really glad that the washer and dry we will not be close to the living room like it is in our apartment now. I am excited to have a bathroom downstairs too. It will be nice when people come over, I won't always have to stress.Anyway, once we get moved in and decorate the house I will take pictures and post it. I just told Jacob yesterday we never took pictures of the place we are in now. Maybe we will have to do that before we leave. Wish us luck so we will be moved in before school starts on Monday.
