Snowing in May?!

This is what we saw out the window this morning:

It's the middle of May and it's snowing?!? Yeah, never seen this before. Luckily it's not sticking, but it's snowing and it's May!!

Soundtracks to our lives!!

Thought it would be funny, maybe?

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)

3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing

My friend, January, had this website on her blog. As you can tell I was having fun with it!

We're Moving!

We're moving! Everything went through smoothly and we'll be in a new apartment next Saturday. The couple that wanted our apartment came and signed everything over yesterday. I was a little nervous about the whole thing, but Todd calls me a worry wort so I guess it was only natural for me. Once everything was done it felt good. I know it's what we're suppose to be doing. We're going to have a lot more space, we're closer to campus, and I think the atmosphere there is better. We've only been to the complex a couple times, but it feels good to know that's where we're going to be. So we'll be packing and cleaning all week!

This isn't our exact building, but this is what all the buildings look like. This picture is from the Hyde Park Apartments website. Our apartment will be on the top right. I'm excited we're on the top floor again and not as many stairs!

Bargain Buy

I was informed that the cereal at Albertsons was on sale today so I thought I'd check it out. I was only going to get a couple boxes but I ended up buying 20! It only came to about $10. On the receipt it showed I saved $70! I was excited. Not many other people were very enthused, but oh well. Todd and I are now stocked up on cereal for awhile.

Hidden Camera

So tonight Todd started putting playlists on both here and his facebook. Well, there's one song he really likes now, and when Todd likes a new song he tends to play it over and over. At one point I looked over and saw him dancin to it. So I wanted to get a video of it. He caught me so I had to act like I was doing something else. I finally got him to start dancing again, but it was not as extreme. Just so ya know there's a spot where I'm trying to hide it from him. So here's what I got plus a little surprise at the end.





Well, I guess you can say we're already starting to make memories!

The Texas Tucketts

So I'm pretty much the only one in my family who just up and left Texas. Well, I didn't just up and leave. When I first graduated high school I went to Elmira, NY for a couple months. Then I went to school up in Rhode Island, and after a year transfered over to Denver. It was always nice cause I knew that even though I was away I would always be going back home. Those places weren't permanent. I always said that I wanted to move away from Texas, but now that I'm pretty much officially away I miss it more than ever. Oddly enough I miss things I never thought I'd miss.

• I hated storms (and still do) but I miss a good rainstorm. I guess I should clarify, I hate storms where when you're watching T.V. and the weather men keep interrupting your show to tell you that a tornado is going to hit you any minute now! I've never been in a tornado, but we've had some pretty bad weather.
  
• I miss the humidity. Never thought I'd say that, but I do. I have to apply loads of lotion on here cause it's so dry.
• I miss the Tex Mex. I thought that no matter where I went mexican food would always be the same, but it's not. You can only find good Tex Mex in Texas.
• I miss the warm weather. I thought I wanted to be where it snowed, but after a couple winters in snowy weather I'm ready to move back where it barely gets to freezing during the winter.
• The one thing I miss the most that's in Texas is my family.

I know you're suppose to grow up and move on, but it's hard to be away. Like I said before, anytime that I was away I knew I'd be back soon. I love where I am with Todd, but sometimes I wish Texas wasn't so far away. But the best part is that no matter where I am I know my family is always there for me.
I have one of the best families anyone could ask for.

• I have a sister who is such an amazing example to me and despite the past still loves me. I know whenever I need her I can just call her. When her and Dallin first got married I would love going over and having a girls night. We would end up watching old movies. And with her, and the help of my mother, I have learned many labor stories. I was usually in the car stuck between two car seats while her and my mom would talk about it! So maybe I'll be somewhat prepared when that time comes.
• Scott can make anyone laugh. Once he walks in the room there's usually never a dull moment. I remember once when he was suppose to be watching me he fell asleep and I almost set the house on fire by burning my mom's crocheted tabled cloth. The smart person he was, he turned the whole to face the wall so my mom wouldn't notice! And then there's the time when he was watching me and Spencer and when asked to throw me the ranch dressing he literally threw me the ranch and it busted on the tile floor! So we cleaned the mess, taped the bottle and put it back in the fridge!!
• Spencer pretty much taught me how to to defend myself with wrestling moves. No he's great guy and any girl that marries him is one lucky person. When I went to Elmira he probably doesn't realize it, or may not even remember, but he gave me the courage to stay because of an email that he sent me that I still keep.
• Then there's my parents. My dad loves his kids and I know he would do anything for us. Once in elementary he helped me build a rocket out of medical supplies that he brought home from work. It was pretty sweet. He's someone that likes to spoil and now that his kids are grown he's spoiling his grandkids, especially with candy! And my mom. She has the biggest heart I know of. She has raised 4 amazing kids and many other's kids through her day care. Growing up I loved laying with her and watching Life Time movies! Most of all she has never given up on me.

My family has helped me to become who I am today. I love you guys. I truly can't wait till Todd and I will be able to have a family and create as many memories as we both have our own families. Maybe someday if the stars all align Todd will get into Vet school at A&M and we'll be back in Texas! But as for now we're enjoying creating our own memories in good ol Idaho!

New Classes, New Job, Maybe New Home?!

Well, Todd has been through almost 2 weeks of classes the semester. He is taking a math class, history, Book of Mormon, New Testament, and a Military training class. So far everything is looking good. He took his first math test today and got a 93.3! In his military training class he gets to do a lot of running, the first Wednesday they ran 3 1/2 miles. Every Wednesday is their long distant run. So Tim and Tom, Todd is getting a little glimpse of what you guys got to go through for boot camp!
Along with new classes Todd started a new job. Well, last week he started training for a phone marketing place and pretty much hated it. So he decided to go get a job on campus and is now a custodian for the boys dorms. Today was his first day. The best part...the hours are 4am to 7am! So he gets up goes to work, comes home, showers, and then we leave again for me to take him to school before I go to work. At least he's home in the evenings now. The other job he was working till 10 at night. I honestly didn't know what to do. It was kinda weird. After a day he enjoys it. He pretty much just goes around the dorms and checks everything. He's just glad he doesn't have to clean the bathrooms!
Anyway, so we might be moving to new apartments. We posted our lease on the BYU-I bulletin just to see if anyone would be interested in taking it over. Well, after a couple days some people came and checked out the apartment and pretty much said they wanted it. So we've been spending this week trying to find a place and decide on what we needed to do. But we both feel like the right thing to do is move. Our apartment is tiny, its only 538 square feet. It's a studio made into a one bedroom by putting up a wall. It's way expensive too. So the new one we found is a two bedroom and its the same price as what we're paying now. They're closer to campus, so when Todd has to walk to school it wont be as bad. I was a little hesitant by the set up but today we went and talked to the mangers and got to go into theirs and it really made me feel a lot better. It was just nice to see how someone else set their place up. It gave me some ideas to do! So now I'm really excited. All we're waiting for is the couple to sign a contract for our apartment. Once they do that I'll feel much better. I just don't want to move and then they back out. That would really stink. So we might be in a new place as soon as May 10th! The only bad part is moving out of here. The list the manager gave us, for our apartment, gave us is so extensive. The last place we lived all we had to do is just make sure everything was clean and decent, here you have to do everything plus they take a butt load of money out of your deposit. But oh well, we'll either move out now or in January so I'd rather just get it done with now. Hopefully we'll have some good news in a couple days and know if we get to move or not!
