Doggy
Meet Chello Barker
15 months old (ish?)
Shih Tzu
I have a feeling this dog will be here longer than our last one. Aubrey found him free off ksl (again) and he's super good with our babies. Potty trained, doesn't bark, doesn't shed, doesn't eat a lot of food. Drawback... he's definitely not the dog to go running with but he's small enough for Leila to walk. Let's hope Aubrey doesn't decide he needs a friend.

Marble Countertop
I'm spent. I think I will be until school is over. Spent.... like it's past, happened already but I'm still going? Does that make sense? Okay so I'm going into energy debt. I think I'll need a nice massage, pedicure, manicure, and hair do to balance out my energy account after the semester. Anyway, the best dad in the world (my dad), and I just finished tiling the marble counter top downstairs. I've still got to seal it and find an edge piece but it's done. Now for the bathroom floor........

Ughhhhh....... School
School is keeping me busy and I'm finishing up week 7. Counting the days has really helped time fly so that is good.
We found some good renters and I still need to do a lot of work on the basement before our renters move in so that's what been up.
I'll write more when I have the energy.
Also, I need to do something about my facebook account. I like millions of people spend too much time on it when there is really nothing new going on, so I think I am going to have Aubrey change my password and keep it from me for a while.
ugh... life is good!
Over and out.
P.S. Lexi is doin the army crawl, I currently find her under the crib and in the hallway. She is so cute and fat I love it.
Pictures will come soon.

Taxes
How do you do your taxes?
This year I am using Turbo tax. We usually have an accountant do it because Aubrey's mom has always gone to him. He charged us a lot last year but he made sure everything was right.
So I'm going to do most of the work and then compare with the accountant and see what is better for us.
What do you do? What would you recommend based on your experience?

Spent!
Man I am spent... physically. Hollie my oldest sister is moving to Tucson tomorrow morning so I spent most of the morning packing up boxes, loading up my truck, driving to the DI, and stuff. It was fun and the weather was good but I was just so exhausted when I got home. But... I got home and saw how much cleaning my house needs. Plus I just brought tons of stuff home from my sisters to store until the playroom becomes existant at my parent's house. Anyway, I wanted to get it all taken care of and put away to I started cleaning and working on the basement.
My dad talked me into buying marble tiles for the kitchen countertop downstairs so I hauled 30 pieces of marble downstairs... fun! I was getting a workout so I did enjoy it but I was just tired. So I'm working on the basement because I see that my Christmas stuff needs to be put away, I go to put it in the storage room and realize all those nasty spider webs are still up on the ceiling so I get the vacuum and start sucking up those nasty cob webs. Man there was a lot of sacs and spider bones.. Gross. I have no idea when the last time was when they were cleaned up. Well it's done now so that is good. Well then I see that I still have some time before the ward party so I get out the paint and start painting the kitchen. Yes, I'm giong to paint the kitchen and the hallway, entry way, bathroom, bedroom, and living room. The place is old and man it needs it bad. I can't believe how nasty the walls are down there. Had I known we were going to buy this house I would have overhauled it while I lived down there. So anyway I got a lot done today and I got to relax at our ward party by playing some games with some of my bestest friends in the world/ward. I tell Aubrey all the time, "I NEVER get to play games." Ya know like real games before technology took over. My family used to really like to play games and we have over 100 but it's like pulling teeth and then a root canal to get anyone to play with me. Aubrey knows that I always want to play games. He was good about it, let me play and even played with me. I LOVE HIM.
So I got home and started painting again but I want to get it done dang it. Aubrey talks about moving and like real soon but honestly I can't see myself living anywhere else than in this house, that I'm investing all of my time and memories into.
We'll see what happens and where that takes us but I've still got until December until I graduate. Don't even get me started on school................
