Lamp

Our first apartment as a couple was a dark little one bedroom basement apartment. Our windows were so little that I'm sure it was a fire hazard because the only thing that was getting through there was maybe a cat. It was rather dark and gloomy so I ended up acquiring a few free lamps to brighten the place up. One was an intricate brown one, and while I wasn't particularly attached to the shade, the base of it was quite pretty.
Allen hated it. He thought it was an ugly lamp and has wanted me to get rid of it since we got it. I haven't caved, so it sits on top of our dresser with our bluray.

One day, as he almost knocked it over, he exclaimed 

"that's it! I'm getting rid of this dumb lamp!"

I looked at him in horror and said 

"I love lamp."

Canned Pumpkin and Other Fun Facts

I have just finished my time at SLCC and I feel so free! 

I had plans to clean out my closet and do all of the tasks that I had been neglecting with my few weeks of free time between finishing up at SLCC and starting at Weber. What I failed to account for was the fact that I had the rest of my life to live. While I do have a lot less to stress about, I am also still working full time and I have a whole slew of family events to catch up on. Weddings and baby blessings and mission farewells fill all of my weekends from here until I start back at school, so the next time I will see a free Saturday will be in December. Ha! As if anyone ever has free time on a Saturday in December. 

I did do the dishes! All of the dishes in our house are done. Also, thanks to my husband, the last load of laundry is in the washer. I am not entirely sure that we have EVER had all the dishes done AND all the laundry done at the same time ever in our lives, so this is an excellent accomplishment for us. Gold Stars. 

Some fun facts for you. 

- I just finished all of my courses for my associate's degree, and I have to use spell check every single time because I strongly believe that associate's degree should be spelled differently than it is. I am waiting for a grade from my Marketing teacher and then everything will be DONE! Even though I didn't actually have to take a marketing class.. I just took it because I wanted to see if I'd like it. Who takes courses for fun in college? 

- I am now scuba certified. As long as I remember to send in my certification paperwork!

- I just wrote part of a blog post. As long as we're following the trend, this will stay in my drafts for years to come and never actually be published. 

- canned 100% pumpkin settles upset puppy tummies. 

And that's it! Hope you weren't hoping for a funny story today!
