Dan and Allyx

Long time, no post. Sorry I haven't given anyone an update on our lives in forever. But we are alive and well. :) Here are some things that have happened with us in the last month or so.

1. We moved into our apartment in Idaho Falls. Its a good size for us and we really like it. Oh wait... our neighbors below us SMOKE in the apartment A LOT so our place smells like smoke every now and then. Its annoying and I have been trying to talk to the manager about it but communication has been difficult with him. We have purchased a few things of febreeze that have become my best friend. Dan thinks the smell is in my head most of the time. I disagree. We also got a really delicious air freshner. It looks sort of like this. So it's cute and it smells good. win-win.

2. My lovely cousin Celeste got married. It was a beautiful wedding. i don't really have any pics because I forgot my camera. I'm a really bad cousin apparantly. Anyway, her dress was gorgeous and she looked beautiful. It was a happy occasion. At the reception people got up and were saying nice things in the microphone about the couple. My cousin McCall and I knew we had to say something because us three are really close. So me and mccall went off and tried to come up with something clever and funny to say and right when we came up with the greatest thing... the mic closed down for people to talk. Well, they let us come up anyway and it was embarrassing because people made a big deal that we HAD to go up there and turns out what we said wasn't as funny as we thought it was. Still... overall... a success. The night before we had a shower and bachelerette party for Celestey. We went bowling and had a blast being silly...and naughty. Heres a pic from the shower. The Bride is in the middle.

3. Dan kicked open and broke our front door. I actually do have pictures of this but I don't have my camera with me so I will upload them at another time. Anyway... Heres the story. Another really big plus about our apartment is the locks are ridiculous. The dead bolt works okay but the other lock is messed up. It will lock but it will NOT unlock. We generally don't lock that one except at night but one day Dan wasn't thinking and just locked it before we left. We went throughout the day having a lovely and carefree time with eachother. We rented some movies and came back home to enjoy them. Well our key was not unlocking the door. We stood there for who knows how long trying to get it unlocked. We gave up and went to McDonalds. When it still didn't open after trying again we went to some friends house. Then Dan decides he CAN get it open. Which he does. However, he was sick of trying to get it unlocked and decided it would be super cool to kick the door down. So thats what he did. Well it let us in the house but it also took the door frame off the wall. NICE. luckily we are handy folks and we have fixed it ourselves. No big deal that now our lock works worse, you can see where we glued the frame back on, and now the wall surrounding the door is a different color then the rest of the wall because the white spray paint didn't match up exactly. But other than that I think it looks great. It was pretty hilarious so it was hard for us to be really upset about it. Here is a pic of what Dan looked like. Just imagine the other person as a door instead.

4. We have been working all the time. Carinos Italian is where we spend most of our time. It is a good job. especially while we are going to school. Dan has to wear a brace to work because of his floppy foot. Sadly, his brace has very recently broken in half. It was specially made for his leg and cost a grand so I'm really hoping its under warranty still.
5. FINALS. SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER. I have two days left of class and then the semester is over. YES YES YES. I have three finals to go. It shouldn't be too bad but I will be studying a lot over the next day or two. I'm just so happy this semester is over. It went incredibly fast.

That is basically what is going on with us at the moment. Unless you want to count the fact that I am reading the Twilight series again. and I love the movie. and I can't wait for the movie 17 Again to come out because Zac Efron is in it and it looks fabulous. But Dan does NOT want to count that so there ya go. :)
