sharing my excitement!

i am so excited to go to reggae in the desert this year.  i went a couple of years ago with my friend nikki and had a blast! last year i was unable to go because of a wedding and a wonderful trip to yellowstone.  this year i will be going and dragging the husband along (although he appreciates reggae).  i dont even know who's performing this year, im. just. going. and that's that.

life..

wow.. i haven't posted on this thing in a while.  i like the idea of having and keeping a blog, because that's how i feel like i'm involved in other people's lives (and i assume they do the same) even if i don't really talk to them that much, between facebook and blogging, i'm always (kinda) caught up!

anyway, spencer and i have been married a whole 4 months now.  i feel like i'm starting to get the hang of things.. how he likes things a certain way- doesn't like his shirts hung up unless they've got a collar, regular shirts folded into thirds with the front of them facing out, how he likes his long socks folded (wow all i guess i do is laundry!)

i've discovered that i have keep things a bit tidier with him, if not he goes on a rampage of "cleaning" and puts things "away" into special places... (ie- i couldnt find a pair of shorts or my ONE pair of black flats for at least 2 months and i had looked everywhere!!  turns out they're sitting in the bottom of a box in my closet under wedding cards (that are still waiting for thank you's..), folded up blankets and a few other odds and ends)  i wonder what else has been hiding!!!

i've just started working (about a month ago) at my father-in-law's office, helping out for the busy tax season.  i really like it there, everyone is so nice and everyone kinda does their own thing.  i'm not micromanaged like i was at my last job....it makes me appreciate this one a million times more!

spence is working for a medical supply company, he likes it a lot.  he gets to interact with some quite interesting people!  the only downfall (i think) is that he works freaking LATE.  he goes in at 10am and gets off at 8:30, which means that he really doesn't get home until 930, and then he has to eat (his gourmet dinner), unwind and take a shower.. by then its generally 11 and i'm ready for bed!  But he enjoys it, and hasn't complained yet, and it definitely helps pay the bills. 

so i finally fulfilled my wifely duty and cooked dinner last week.  my mom got me THREE (and another one in the works, so almost four) cookbooks for my birthday.... thanks for the subtle hint mom.  anyway, i picked the easy 5 ingredient recipe- pasta, pesto sauce, EXPENSIVE pine nuts, tomatoes, and chicken... it turned out really well i thought!  until spencer sat down to eat it with me.. he liked it, but then had to add some olive oil (which i should have in the first place) and some cheese.  adding all of that definitely made the meal. though next time it'll be better. and no i haven't cooked since, unless you count heating up the spaghettios on the stove tonight as cooking!

okay i'm posting this now, so i dont look back and see that i forgot to post it 3 months from now... since it's happened oh, once or four times.. =]
