public humiliation diet.

My friend Brittanie posted about the public humiliation diet and I found it intriguing.  I find that it is hard for me to loose weight because I can just do what I want while I am at school.  There is no accountability!!  So, I started another blog that I will be posting my weight daily.  My measurements weekly and a summary of the foods that I eat during the day.  I don't care if you read it.  I know another friend that does the same thing and has for a long time.  She is awesome.  So...that is it.  I will be writing my weight on my white board every day too.  Good luck to me.

4 day weekend/description

Today is my Friday for this week and I have Monday off.  This means that I get a 4 day weekend.  How will that weekend be spent? Grading.  With starting school I have not done my grading responsibilities.  I am so far behind!!  It will take hours upon hours to finish, but I have a long weekend so it isn't the end of the world.  

The house sale is coming along nicely.  My brother Phillip (Fred, Warren, Sargent, Boss, whatever name you prefer to call him) was able to go over to the house yesterday and look in the windows because the sellers had taken the keys from the key box.  I think that he liked it.  He sounded like he liked it.  

    On a side note, I got the cutest jewelry from Nicole and clothes!  

I guess I haven't said much about the house.  The front apartment that is closest to west temple is the 2 bedroom that Endrit and I will be living in.  It has a wall mounted tv place that we will utilize!  It has new paint, new carpet, and the bathroom is through the master bedroom.  I guess Endrit and I will have to keep our bedroom clean.  The back yard is completely enclosed with a tall wood fence.  There are mature rose bushes and iris plants that are in full bloom right now and are gorgeous!  The entrance to the 1 bedroom apartment that Endrit's parents will live in is in the back yard.  It is just a regular apartment with new paint and carpet as well.  Between the 2 apartments is the laundry room and the entrance to the basement.  The basement is quite large.  That, I think, is the biggest upgrade from the apartment that we have now.  We don't have to store all we have in the apartment.  That is awesome!  

So we will have a guest bedroom as well as a bed in the front room as a upgraded sofa bed that is a lot more comfy than normal ones.  Since we will live right next to the Bee's Stadium if anyone wants to go to a game and then crash at the house, you are more than welcome to come.  I am super excited for it to close in a couple of weeks.

That is life as it stands right now.  Pictures will come....I promise!

Grad School Project

In one of my classes I have to make several websites.  The first one is just a practice one.  Here is the link to the one that I am working on right now.  It is a work in progress for sure, but I still think that it looks pretty cool.

job interview

And just to add another wonderful thing to the list I have a contract teacher job for a middle school science teacher on Monday!

Home

Endrit and I have been looking for a place to buy for a few months now.  It has been disheartening at times because of the low budget that we have to be able to buy a home.  I have been periodically looking at the listings in the area that we were willing to look in and there was just nothing that we really liked and were willing to place an offer on.  That all changed 2 days ago.

I found a cute duplex in our price range in our location range too.  That is unheard of.  We went and looked at the property that day between me teaching and my class.  We placed an offer on it that night after my class.  We allowed the sellers to accept or reject our offer by 5 pm last night.  Well, we heard just after noon that they had a counter offer that we would accept.  

So, last night we accepted the offer and we are under contract.  We should close by June 20th.  It has been interesting to go from not many things to being in the middle of financing a house  and graduate school.  

It is a really cute duplex.  It is green!!  (as in the color green)  We seem to like green places to live as we haven't lived in a place that wasn't green since we have been married.  

That is life as it stands right now.  We are getting all of our inspections done this week on the house.  We are finally entering the real "adult" world.  

Pictures as Promised

It is early in the day.  The sun hasn't broken the horizon yet.  Endrit wanted to drive again...I let him.  Here is Trinity!

Trinity Ki

Endrit's dad finally got his drivers licence so it was time for them to get a car.  We were going to go to Ogden to get them a Corolla when Endrit finds a Prius that we could use.  So, we sold Stella (our Corolla) to his parents and got the Prius.  Her name is Trinity.  It is too late to take pictures so those will come tomorrow.  It is a 2006. It is a really great car.  I love driving it!!
