Boys Trip to Alaska!!!

For the last two weeks, Jord has been in Alaska with my dad and brothers. The first week I was really lonely, and kinda scared to be at home alone in our new house, but the second week I took off with my mom to Vegas for a shopping trip. Both Jordan and I got home yesterday, it was a nice reunion! Here are some highlights from Jord's trip.....He saw a bunch of moose, and was a bit disappointed not to see a bear, however, was excited when they stumbled across some bear poop (you'll see that bears do NOT digest berries very good)! They figured between the four of them, they caught over 2000 pounds of fish- only bringing home about of fourth of that in filets in the eight coolers that they were allowed to check on the airplane! Jordan was pretty mad that my little brother Nic took his lucky fishing spot on the halibut charter they took out, when he reeled in the two biggest fish of the trip. Jordan said halibut fishing was the funnest day. Nic may have been the best with the halibut, but Jord was King of the Kenai River!! Jordan caught the most salmon and the prettiest (and hopefully tastiest) fish of the trip. Although it was a vacation...as always Jord's workaholic personality always comes out somewhere. While they were there, he split a bunch of wood, built a smokehouse to smoke fish in, and finished a shower in one of my dad's buddies cabin. All in all, I'm convinced they had an amazing trip!!

So I am thrilled to FINALLY be able to tell you all that our house is DONE!! Yes, you heard me...DONE! It's about freakin time! (not like it's really taken that long, they built our entire house in 2 months and 3 days) But still, it seems like forever! And oh the stress........anyway.....we should be closing on it tomorrow or monday, and when I get the house looking all cute I'll post some pics of the inside! For right now you just get the exterior....and its not even landscaped yet, but oh well. As of right now the basement is unfinished, but in the next month or so Jord is going to finish it himself (with a little help of course) and we are going to rent it out to Zac and Cami. But for right now we are just REAAAAAAAAALLY excited to move into our new house, it will be so nice!!! P.S. the door really is not going to be white! I just took the pic before it got painted!

Josh Gracin!

So the other day Jord went out of town for his friend Deven's bachelor party...so it was saturday night and for the first time in a long time I was all by my lonesome! Then I got a call from my friend Jess begging me to go to the Josh Gracin concert with her and her hubby Chett. So, because I love being the third wheel soooo much, I decided to tag along. It ended up being a blast, we got front row and had lots of fun!!!

oops...forgot the cabin and house pics!

Update- HOUSE, VEGAS, CABIN!

Ok....so it's been a little while since I posted, so here's the update! Jord and I went to Vegas with our friends Scott and Ash after finals and before I started my summer semester, we had a blast with them it was so much fun! The house finally got to the point where we could put the flooring in (jord layed the tile, we did travertine (cant spell that) in the bathrooms and laundry room, and Jord put a travertine and hardwood lattice in the kitchen. I absolutely love it, he did amazing! He's such a handyman, I'm a lucky girl. I helped as much as I could but I'm not going to lie I pretty much just watched him and went and got him treats and drinks when he was hungry and thirsty! Oh, and I ran the ipod and made sure we had good music playing the entire time. Then just this last weekend we went up to the cabin for memorial day, it was nice to get away, as you can see in one of the pics, Jord and my daddy were having a little too much fun suiting up to go out on the Rhino in the rain and mud and muck!! We just barely got stucco on the house this week, and I don't have pics yet, but I'll post them soon! It's starting to look like a real house, I'm getting super excited!

House Update!

SO...The framing is done! YAY, it actually looks somewhat like a house now, we're getting so excited! Jordan just called me from work and said that they got all the windows in today, and have started doing the shingles, and the electrical guys are there too...So it's going up pretty dang fast! I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!

Sure feels good...........

So....FINALS ARE OVER!!! HOORAY~!! Seriously, making it through the first semester of my nursing program feels so good! Yes, I know it's only the first semester, and I'm sure it's only going to get much harder...but at least I got through the shock of the heavy workload and crazy schedule, so now I'm prepared! Let's just say that before I started this nursing program it would about put me in tears if I got anything but and "A" grade...and after this semester, I have never been more happy to get "B"s!!!! Like they say, B's and C's get degrees! I never thought I'd agree with that saying, now I'm it's biggest fan! Jord is also excited to have finals over with and did really well in all of his classes. One more semester and he'll have his associates (yay!) Sowe are going to hit up Vegas this weekend to take a little chill pill before I start back to school on Monday!
