who's side of the bed is this?

Beds come in three different sizes: Too Small, Just Right, and Too Big. The interesting fact is that it all depends on the occupants as to which size of bed you've got. some beds can never get big enough for the person in question. I'm the kind of person who might complain about the bed being too big. If I can't just roll out of the bed at 6 a.m. to get ready it is definitely too big. Kylee is of the opinion that the bigger the bed the better and she has her reasons. namely if she doesn't want to get out of bed in the morning an increase in size would make the effort futile and will happily sleep in. There also happens to be a new sleeping technique that i had not heard of before but according to my wife and my best friends wife its the way to go, Drum roll please... Sleeping diagonally on the bed. one lays them self at an angle on the bed thus increasing the apparent bed size. this does not work so well for couples seeing as it leaves me with an eighth of the bed as my fair share. I can handle that because i can literally roll straight onto the floor every morning. As we can all see this is most advantageous.

many people can make popovers and enjoy them but tell me how many people can make corn bread " Flop-overs". Yes its a reason to be jealous. We had quite a few successes come out of the kitchen this week. Kylee assembled a splendid Chicken Italian Salad just like Mom Jensen makes. On Friday we drove past Pizza Hut and i got a craving for that cheesy goodness. We made the absolute best home made pizza from scratch and enjoyed it with a fresh iceberg lettuce salad(yes i made a mistake and bought iceberg cause it was the cheapest). Sadly the only thing we had to top the pizza with was the sausages we used to season the new pizza stone. We reccomend making pizza for any couple as a date night at home.

mashed potatoes and bare walls

And it came to pass that in the second week of the reign of the woods over the number six apartment there came a hunger over the home. Both were very hungry and had no idea what to eat. then like mana from heaven we looked in the cupboard and found two bags of instant potato mix. One was for garlic and seasoning while the other was for buttery red potatoes. it was decided to try the garlic potatoes first seeing as they had more color and flavor. NOTE TO THE READER, altitude changes everything when your cooking. That means when you are cooking from high elevations such as Logan, Utah one must remember to not use as much water when making instant anything. Otherwise mashed potatoes turn into MUSHED potatoes. At that point Kylee decided to leave and put me in charge of fixing our potato soup, a challenge I was willing to accept. flour, bisquick and even heating it more in the microwave didn't work. So, i grabbed the bag of red potato mix so as to balance out the mixture. after finishing off more than half of the red potatoes i had finally done it. I fixed The Potatoes! We sat down for a much anticipated dinner of mashed potatoes and water but the triumph was short lived. the garlic potatoes were too strong. and i was left to eat them alone{actually i kinda liked it:)} as Kylee used the rest of the red potato mix to make her own serving of buttery potatoes.
Growing up i was taught that the wall is something you don't touch, or do anything to for that matter. i am being instructed now on how much that isn't true when your wife is an interior design major. Bare walls to me say, "more spacious" but fashionably that just won't do. so yesterday i was put on pin and nail duty as we put up three new wall clocks eight or more frames of quotes and pictures. FYI, " live, laugh, love" may be an inspiring phrase but how many times can one person see that and still get the same kick out of it? i don't know but in a year it just won't hold the same meaning for me. we'll have to move on to something like, " keep your stick on the ice, we're all pulling for you" -Red Green

the start of a very interesting journey

Life is a journey That takes many twists and turns Kind of like a river that moves through rough waters and calm meadows.
this river of mine has just come to merge with the crystal blue waters of Kylee, a deceptively deep and fast moving river. Combining our lives and our experiences into a mix of similarities and complimenting opposites that make each day an adventure. the waters are not always smooth sometimes we we are like two mules pulling on either side of a tow rope. but it surprises me how her eye for fashion and my knack for function can meld together into a beautiful and working home.
We have just about finished unpacking and organizing our personal things and all of the wonderful gifts that our family and friends gave us for our reception. It was quite a surprise to come home to our apartment and find it wall to wall stocked with presents. so almost a week later we have made headway and even found some room to live in. I am so grateful that Kylee is a wiz at not only organizing but making it look perfectly placed in the new space saver shelf i put together for her in the bathroom.
Currently it has sort of been my responsibility to take care of the dishes, the cooking, and some of the sweeping as Kylee goes to work every day. I like it! I've tried pancakes, strawberry shakes, and even baked potatoes. I think my best dinner so far was the chicken and potatoes that we had the first night. granted I'm not Mr. Mom just yet but i have been tempted to pull out out of the flirty aprons that Kylee brought with her.
Hi five to who ever thought of having a DI so close to our apartment here in Logan! I think i might just shop there more than i do at Walmart. we just barely found the coolest entertainment center to fit the tv and playstation. so what if it has a few gouges in the side. According to the law of FUNCTION, it works so lets keep it. but the FASHION says, Eeew!!! hmmmmm... lets paint it. So the verdict is we will keep it but later this summer it will be blackish brown or brownish black. she could probably tell you the exact colors but that is beyond me.

Jake, Man of the house keeping!
