MOVING...

So I have three words for you all... I HATE MOVING!!!! Logan and I found a beautiful townhouse that we are moving into at the beginning of next week and I am so excited about that! BUT... the bad part about it all is that we have to be out of the apartment we live in now TODAY!! Logan and I are stressing out pretty bad. We moved stuff onto trailers and trucks all day yesterday, but we still have more stuff to box up and move. And we have to have the apartment spotless before the landlord comes over so we can get all of our deposit back. I'm STRESSED! I am so happy and excited to move into a bigger place with a backyard for my doggie... but I don't know if I can handle this whole moving thing. If I live through this experience, I will be sure to put up some pictures of our new house for you all to see!

Smarty-pants!

So Logan just finished up another crazy semester at BYU-I and it was just as stressful as ever! But I just wanted to write a quick post to congragulate him on yet another 4.0 semester! Whoo-hoo!!! I am SO SO SO proud of him! Logan worked his butt off and it really paid off in the end! Good job Logan! Keep up the good work!

Love,
your wifey

Easter Egg Extravaganza!!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays and this year was the best yet! Every year my parents put on a great easter egg hunt and it never fails to be entertaining! The rules have changed a little bit from your average egg hunt, and the most difficult one is that you have to be tied to your partner. This makes it a little bit harder when you have got your eyes on the prize but you are both looking in different directions! Although Logan and I sucked at finding the "money-eggs," we made out like bandits in the soda area! This is because my amazing mom goes above and beyond by covering the whole back yard with not only eggs, but soda and candy too! So its not hard to say that this year did not fail to be as entertaining as ever! Here are a few of my favorite pitcures from the big hunt!
My sister Kalee and her friend Zach had a hard time getting into the tiny corner behind the power box without some major stretching!

As you can see, my brother Cory is super excited when Katelyn got her hands on something good!

Logan and Cory raced to the top of this tree to grab what they thought was a money egg... but it wasn't a money egg, and the only thing Katelyn and I got out of it was a few bruises!

Logan is really focused on winning! INTENSE!

Here is my favorite picture! From this picture you can see how hard it is when you and your partner are going in different directions while you are tied together!

Here is my awesome family after the blood-bath we call the Beck family easter egg hunt! This year's hunt was awesome and I can't until next year!

A few from Kalu

I was just flipping through our camera and found some funny pictures of our dog Kalu that I thought I should share!
Kalu was helping Logan with his studies by falling asleep on his book!


And then he decided that my neck was a good place to crash for the night! He really doesn't understand the concept of personal space! I know both of these pictures are of him sleeping but I just had to share! Enjoy!

Blog-Stalker

Today I was checking out some of my favorite blogs. So I clicked on Darci Gardner's because I Love reading her blog! (yes... I blog-stalk her regularly!) Well, in one of her recent posts she was talking about another blog by one of her good friends, so I clicked on the little link thing to take me to the blog and all I have to say is.. I'm inspired! Darci's friend started this thing called a "happy book". From what I could see it is a book that she writes 5 things in it a day that made her happy! (I think that's what it was anyways... if not than she inspired me to have a good idea of my own!) I am going to make my own happy book so that I can always remeber the special happy things that happen to me every day! So I have to say THANK YOU to Darci Gardner and her wonderful friend that I have never met! You inspired me today, and I have been long overdue for some good inspiration! Happy book here I come!

CRASH! BOOM! BANG!

Friday the 13th really is a day for bad luck! Let me explain.... On Friday night Logan and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a day early because we both had to work on V-Day. I was already out and about so I met Logan at Applebee's for what was a very fun and relaxing dinner, and left in our separate cars to go home and watch Prince Caspian together. I followed Logan (he was driving our nice car, thank goodness!) in my little old Honda and we were almost home when we got split up on the dreaded 17th street. Getting split up wasnt really a big deal but when I went to switch lanes, this crazy lady in a minivan sped up to cut me off causing me to have to swerve back into my lane and rear-end the car in front of me! I didn't hit the car in front of me very hard, but for some reason my airbags went off and almost blew my head off! After the initial shock of the exploding airbags, I figured out that I had wrecked and then noticed that the entire car was full of smoke and smelled absolutely horrible! (So not only do the airbags blow your head into the backseat, but they smell like someone lit a bucket of pee on fire!) When I got out of the car I saw that I had also caused the car in front of me to rear-end the car in front of them! CRAP! Logan turned around to rescue me and help me deal with the angry people in the other cars and by the end of the night it all turned out to be ok.. Only 2 out of the 3 cars were damaged and it was only a fender-bender. The bummer part is that our Honda is considered "totaled" by the insurance company because it costs more to replace the airbags alone than what our car is worth, so we are now on a car search! If anyone has any good ideas where to look for a sturdy car for me to drive, let me know!! Now that it has been a few days after the wreck I have come to find out that I am TERRIFIED of driving now! I guess a wreck was a good but unfortunate way to teach me to watch where I am going!

There is a new member in our little family!

We got a puppy! I have been begging Logan for a puppy since we got married and he finally buckled! Last Wednesday I asked Logan if we could go look at a puppy... I promised him that I wouldn't make him buy the puppy and all I wanted to do was look... Well we met the breeder at a gas station in Ririe and I tried my best to hide my excitement the whole way there. The moment I walked into the gas station and I saw the puppy I fell in love with it! Needless to say, Logan couldn't refuse me once he saw how attached I was and we took the puppy home with us that night! Our puppy is a Morkie (maltese-yorkie) and he is only 8 weeks old. He weighs 2lbs. 9oz. and is black and brown with little white spots on his back paws and chest! His name is Kalu. Logan picked the name from a common name on his mission in Africa. Kalu in Africa is the equivalent to "Carlos" here in the states (my parents just call him Carlos). Most of the time he is an angel, but he has his devilish moments too... For example, last night he jumped off of our bed while we were sleeping and decided that it would be a good idea to poop under the bed. You can guess that he was in A LOT of trouble when we woke up and found out what he did! Other than the occasional accident he "usually" goes to the bathroom where he is supposed to, doesn't bark, and knows just how to butter us up! He is a cuddle-bug and we can never stay mad at him for very long! We are so lucky to have him! Here are a few pictures we have of Kalu so far...


Playing with his new rope toy!


Getting caught chewing on the pillow.... he is so hard to be mad at!



Just hanging out!


His first bath... he is so little that the bathroom sink was the perfect size!



He didn't like bathtime very much...


I will post more pictures soon to keep you all updated with how he is doing!
