Bryan & Brittney Austin

Well haven't done an update on some of the latest movie watchings so here we are:

Well there is not much new to report this week. We spent the week working (of course) and really was lazy most of the weekend. We spent most of Saturday running little errands then spent the evening at my parental's house. Bryan watched the U of U vs TCU game with my padre while me madre and I watched Bride Wars for the first time and talked about the lovely life that is my family. We then went to church on Sunday, and had our good friends Brad and Brie and their little cutie, Xander, over for dinner. He has gotten so big and I still remember the day he was born. We had just finished watching the fireworks going off at Magna park fourth of july in 2008. I was trying to drive to parent's house because we were watching their hosue while they were on vacation. As I sat in a line that seemed not to be moving and a mile long as well, I suddenly saw a blue jeep go zooming by me on the shoulder kicking up all sorts of dust. I recognized the jeep as Brad's jeep and figured he was just driving his usual crazy self. I later found out that Brie had gone into labor and they were rushing to the hospital. As soon as I got off work the next day, Xander Man had already been born and I went to see him in the hospital. He was so cute and what seemed big baby but tiny in comparison to how big he is now. He is walking, talking little, and laughing now which melts my heart. He is so CUTE!! Bryan loves him to death and has such a good time when he comes over. We have some really good friends and really enjoy getting to just hang out with them. We played one of Brie's favorites Skipbo card game. Three games total. I won the first, Brie won the second and Brad won the third. (Skipbo is not Bryan's best game.) All in all a good weekend with not having to do much and just relaxing most of the days. Ahhh...

Wow! It has been a long time since I have updated this thing. I need to get better at this. Well a lot has happened just in the past week even. I am now working two jobs again. Well I never really stopped I guess. I do janitorial work at nights after my day job. I work at the Riverton Church Office building off of bangeter highway and 13600 south in Riverton just cleaning cubicles and offices. Nothing fancy by any means but I love it in comparison to the paper route. BEST NEWS EVER !!! NO MORE PAPER ROUTE!!! WOO HOO!!! I cannot express how much happier we are now that we do not have to do the evil paper route. We were grateful for it because it made it possible for us to pay our bills. So glad that it is over with though. I now only have to work an additional 20 hours a week and it is at night. Not at 2 o'clock in the morning every day including holidays. Love it. I also have some really wonderful people that I work with and they are all so nice that it is really not that bad at all to do janitor work. It could be worse so I am very grateful for the job. Another great set of news would be that Bryan now has a job!!! He is working hard and getting in a lot of hours. It is wonderful. And even better news, Bryan passed his Union test!!! Woo Hoo! That is actually a really hard test and I am very proud of him. The math is hardest and not always his strongest subject but he passed and did wonderfully. He just has to interview and he will be in!! Yeah to more health insurance, 401K, and a actual future of a job. Double coverage on dental... MUCH needed. Things are really looking up in that aspect...
Our newest addition Blue is growing quickly and he is such a cutie!! He now has one blue eye and one brown. The brown eye has changed colors a few time being it started out brown, went gray, then green, and has decided to be a brown eye now. He is weighing in at 28 pounds which is exactly where he should be. Daisy the beast is now weighing in at 80 pounds. Wow! Chew man is still tipping the scale at 18 pounds. He is so tiny but so cute! Henry and Gretchen are starting to get along better too. Gretchen made her first kills too a couple of weeks ago. We are not really cat people by any means but got the cats to help with the mice that like to come into our house since we live around so many fields. Henry has been taking care of all the outside mice but recently with the colder weather the mice have made their ways into the house. Two were having a party everyday in our closet in our living room. Well we opened the closet door and Gretchen stood watch everyday for about two weeks. She then got her first one and left it for Bryan to find. She was so proud of herself she even got the other one the next day. We are so proud of her. She is doing better but we fear she may have blindness taking over in one of her eyes. She does fine though.
Got a different car now too. Had to sell my baby the Mazda 6 because $350 per tire is too much out of our budget. Can't afford it anymore. So we traded it in for a 2007 Ford 500. Liking it. Not my favorite but it is a good car and is practical.
Darcy and Danny finally tied the knot this year as well. The wedding went perfectly with no hitches. I have to say I love weddings so much. It always reminds me of the days that Bryan and I said our I do's. Talk about a perfect day. Nothing went aray that day and I love Bryan so much I cherish all of our time that we spend together. It is wonderful. Yeah we have our disagreements and our lives are not perfect by any means, but I can't see my life any other way than with one another. Our fights don't last more than 30 minutes at the most and find new ways to show each other we love one another everyday. It is wonderful and I love married life.
Bryan just a birthday as well. He got a game from me along with refills for his razor. I know lame second gift but money always seems to be tight with us. He got a Lowe's gift card from my parents, a gift card to Home Depot from his Aunts and Uncle, and the new Halo game from Darcy and Danny. He had a good b-day. We had dinner with all of us plus his awesome aunts and uncle Lee, Roxie, and Susie. They are wonderful and we love having them around. We also played battle of the sexes board game and had fun with that as well. We loved it.
We did not get to do much camping this year which really bummed us out but that was all do to the paper route. It was too much of a pain to find someone to throw our paper route so we didn't get to go. But this next year we will camping every weekend almost. I have already planned most of it out including the Subway in Zion's national park. I can't wait.
Well I also lost 43 pounds as well. A lot to lose and still working on it.
Well I will hopefully keep this thing more up to date.
