Another game night, toads, and Pioneer Day!

Well, here is a picture of yet another game night. L-R... George and Becca, Derek and Arian Riddle, Amanda and Curt Jensen. This is at the Riddles apartment. We live in the same complex as them and the Jensen's live in a complex just around the corner. They moved in about a month or so ago and we have really come to like them a lot. We always seem to have a good time with them.

OK...... so right between our two complexes there is a huge wash for when it rains like crazy here and floods (it's too dry here for the water to sink in the ground so they have to build washes because it always floods). Anyway, George and I have gone for walks in the evenings before and when we walk by the wash we hear this moaning, crying sound. There was one night when I really almost jumped the wall because I though either there was someone DYING there or someone had ABANDONED a baby or something. It was CREEPY!!!! So we were at the Jensen's one night and they were like,"Do you guys hear all those toads at night or is our apartment just way close to the wash?" Ha ha, so I guess the noise at night is toads, not dying, abandoned children. After our game night on Sunday when George and I were walking home, we finally SAW one. It really was this green and HUGE! I had to take a picture!

On the 19th our stake did a big Pioneer Day sha-bang. They have done it for years, this is just the first time I really enjoyed it.

The missionaries holding a HUGE flag!

Us with the Jensen's and Mom Hunt.
The firetruck totally SOAKING all of us. There really was nowhere to hide. We all got drenched!

Mad Gab and summer fun.

Last night we had our best friends, Derek and Arian Riddle, over for a game night. We had a blast playing Mad Gab. The girls won (of course!) but we all had a blast. The guys were cracking us up the whole time. They made the game a LOT harder than it should be. Unless of course, we girls are just way better at the game than them! he he Anyway, the game night was great. The Riddles are moving soon and we are so sad to see them go. George and Derek were in Elders Quorum together in the singles ward. We did a double date with them when Derek and Arian had been engaged for just a while and we had a blast. They got married last year just like us so we're all kind of on the same page in the life department :) We have been the best of friends ever since.

Here's a picture of George and I, really enjoying our summer. We've spent a lot of time in our apartment complex's pool. Way fun! We've also gone to a couple fun restaurants and seen some good movies. Favorite movie thus far, "Get Smart". We quote it all the time and can't wait for the DVD to come out. If you haven't seen it and LOVE Steve Carrell as much as us, you should see it!

Also for the past couple of weeks I have had the wonderful opportunity to practice mothering by watching my sister-in-law's one month old baby boy, Drew, a couple days a week. It's actually so much fun for me. I wake up a 6:30 and pick him up, we both kind of sleep a little until 8ish, then while he's still asleep I get showered and ready for the day, and sometimes even have a little bit to get some laundry going. Then he wakes up for about an hour or two and we just sit and watch TV and I feed him and then I'll put him in his car seat to go run some errands. He really is the perfect baby. I have yet to experience a crying fit from him. He just kind of pouts. Anyway, I love it. I could totally do this! :)

Well, I think that's about all that's going on in our little world. Hope you all are doing fantastic!

Happy Birthday Husband!!!

Yesterday was George's 23rd birthday and we had a really nice day. We both had to work, but I had about a 2 hour break in my day and made his birthday cake from scratch! I must say, I am really proud of this cake. Except the frosting job. I just bought some and didn't have enough for the whole cake. It was Red Velvet!! So so good. We went to the temple together last night and then had a bunch of people over after for cake and ice cream. At first I was totally stressing out because there were 24 people over in our tiny little one bedroom apartment. There were people standing all over the place and I felt bad. Then some family left early and there was a little more room. Then I had a chance to breath a little more. Seriously, I was so claustrophobic in there for a while. Anyway, some people brought some ice cream and cookies so we were totally set in the food department. I thought we would run out of cake, but coincidentally, there were two pieces left when everyone was gone. It was a lot of fun to visit with friends and family on George's special day. He got a couple gifts that totally crack me up. It's kind of tradition in his family for birthdays to get each other a ton of food items. So they'll get this TOWER of gifts all wrapped up and it's things like, in George's case, cereal, mac & cheese, cheeze-its, more cereal, croissants.... and a sudoku book :) My parents gave him a new white shirt for church and some bags of his favorite candy. He was SO excited about the shirt and remembered how much my mom loves the movie, "Nacho Libre" and called her and said in the Nacho voice, "Thank you for the new blouse." This part is only funny if you've seen the movie. I laughed hard and after repeating it again and again for my mom (we were laughing a lot so it made it hard to understand, I'm sure) she laughed hard too.

Well, this is already turning into a long post, but I want to publicly tell George how much I love him and how grateful I am to be his wife. He makes me so happy and is always so patient with me. We always have so much fun together. He'll say things that just make me roll on the floor laughing. I feel safe and protected with him. He has so much knowledge and doesn't ever hesitate to teach me things. I love you so much George. Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

I'm such a girl

Ok. Best story ever. So, I wake up this morning to get ready for work and hear that our toilet is kind of running. I don't think much of it and turn on the shower first before I go to the bathroom. So I flush the toilet and I'm not even joking, water comes spewing out of the wall! We're talking fire hose here. Within 3 minutes of me trying to figure it out, failing and then calling George, our entire bathroom was flooded. He instructed me to turn off the valve. Wow, seriously? That easy? Geeze, I'm such a girl. So I turn it off and the water stops but I still have a flooded bathroom... and we live UPstairs. I quickly throw down a million towels and call the "emergency maintenance" guy in our apartment complex. He's here within 10 minutes (speedy service!) and is thanking heaven for me putting down towels. Uh, guy, I'm not stupid! Anyway, he fixed it and now, all is well. As for all you readers, never come to me for plumbing assistance.

'Till next time!

Baby Hungry....

Ok,before I start, Mom, please do not freak out. We're not pregnant. Nor do I honestly think it'll be happening anytime soon. Now, I'm sure this is something that just kind of happens when you get married and all your friends and sisters-in-law and co-workers and cousins start getting pregnant and having babies. And frankly, I'm a little jealous. I kinda want to be pregnant. Maybe. I don't know, maybe I don't but my whole thinking is this... If we start having kids now, we'll be young and energetic and then when they're teenagers and leaving the house, we'll still be on the younger side of middle-aged and be able to have fun with them. That's how it is in my family. I love that my parents are young enough to still enjoy going on vacations to Disneyland and Legoland and Seaworld and stuff like that. Sigh..... George and I have talked about waiting about a year and a half until he's actually in PT school. But I think I don't really want to wait anymore. Then again, I could just be hormonal today and really want one and then I'll wake up in the morning and be like, wow, I'm so glad we don't have kids. I love sleeping in on Sundays. Ok, done venting about the baby wanting.

I love Logan

Over the Memorial Day weekend, George and I went up to Logan, Utah to visit with family and celebrate his Grandma's 80th birthday. It was so much fun. I loved getting to know his cousins and aunts and uncles better. There were conversations that had my laughing so hard, I thought I was going to cry. It was so fun. Oh, and his Grandma seriously is almost EXACTLY like my grandma that passed away in August. It was fun to spend time with her as she made dinner and breakfasts. She wrote me a letter after my surgery and the handwriting is seriously the same as my grandma's. It was really sweet to see that and get a letter from her, but it made me cry. I really miss my grandma sometimes. But I realized this weekend one of Heavenly Father's little tender mercies for me. He sent me a grandmother-in-law that is so much like MY grandmother. So wonderful.
Back to Logan. I love it. I love the green and the rain and the mall where I bought 2 cute dresses and the cute little towns outside of Logan. I could totally live there. Maybe. Maybe I need to visit in the winter. I hear they're brutal.
We're planning on going up again over Labor Day weekend. Apparently there's this Cowboys and Indians fight thing? I don't know. Should be fun!

Traumatic May

Ok, I officially declare the month of May, "The Worst Month Since George and Rebecca Have Been Married." Well, let me explain that a little. Relationship, marriage-wise, it's been wonderful. But seriously.... first my wisdom teeth (two weeks solid of pain and lortab's) then my appendix (sore muscles for about a week, no getting up quickly=no dates or anything with George) and now I'm sick with either a cold, or killer allergies (miserable wife=miserable husband).

However, in this ridiculously SICK month, I have been able to read a very very good book. It's called Twilight. Read it. You won't be able to put it down, I promise!

Sad week...

Well, this week started out great. I had a busy first two days of my work week (always nice) and then Wednesday happened! I woke up Wednesday morning with a stomach ache. I've had some bad stomach aches in my life so I figured it would go away. I went to work and did a girls color then was in our back room doubled over in pain. I thought my insides were going to explode! So I went home from work and called my mom to ask her what I should do. We spent the next couple of minutes on our computers looking up possible things it could be. She told me to call my doctor. So I tried to gather my emotions and stop crying while I talked to her. Then the pain hit me really hard and I started bawling again. She told me to get off the phone with her and go to the ER. So I called George and we went to the ER. After some tests and waiting, pain medication (FINALLY!) and more waiting, they said I had appendicitis and needed it removed that night. So I am now appendix free! I'm glad it's out, but the whole experience was seriously traumatizing. The hospital was so crowded that I never got a room. SOOO, I was stuck in a hallway with this guy who kept barfing. Nice. The stay at home has been pretty ok. George is taking good care of me and getting up and down so I can have yet, ANOTHER drink of water, and oh can you grab that pillow, I dropped the remote, will you get it? I'm sick of being cooped up in this house though. No fun. I walk around like an old lady with back problems. Hopefully it'll get better. Yay for good husbands!

That is all for this week. I think I'll post some wedding pics (6 months later...) for you all to see.
