Happy Halloween!

Yes Halloween is coming up on Saturday. Alex and I carved a pumpkin today... it was Lightning McQueen and it took us about 2 maybe 3 hours to do. It turned out pretty good though! Besides that, we are finally over whatever bug was going around finally, after like a week! I got the job at Macy's that I was hoping for and it looks like I will be starting soon. It sucks cause I can't go anywhere for the holidays but it is all good because I need the money so bad! Yesterday we went up to Superior to visit one of Alex's friends from Bible College. The drive up there is so gorgeous! I had elk for the first time up there because his parents fixed some elk burgers for us... mmmm tasty! Who know elk was better than ground beef! It is starting to get pretty chilly up here again and we might have snow tomorrow, if not by the end of the week. Gap I guess has been getting quite a bit of snow which doesn't excite me because me and cold weather equals very bad! I am going to freeze my butt off! Luckily I will be in Missoula for breaks though so that I have to deal with the -40 degree weather! Rifle season started Sunday which means that I won't be seeing much of Alex on the weekends! haha. But school is almost out for the semester and then we get a nice break which we are looking forward to. It should be nice for Alex anyways so he can catch up on his reading! But other than that, nothing new up  here.

Oh the good ole days of being sick!

Well mid-terms are over finally although Alex still has to make one up from him being sick. He has been having a sore throat for just over a week now but we think that he is getting better. I had to go to Curry last Sunday night because I have been so sick. I have been having a high fever, sweats, weakness, dizziness. Who knows what it is... I know it is not the swine flu though because Alex talked to someone who did have it and he says that this is not swine flu. Curry has been telling people they have swine flu, but doesn't test you, so the common cold is going around and they are claiming that it is swine flu... we have idiots on our team! But school is going... I haven't been able to go to class or work for the past week... Both Alex and I are still on the search for jobs... which I have came to the conclusion that it is impossible to find work right now! Alex has determined that he is going to work this summer and buy a new truck... because our way back to Gap was very unpleasant... We had to stop every few few miles because we heard this squiling which thankfully was nothing too too serious. A few days before that though we were driving and heard a tick so we had to take it to the dealership to get fixed. Oh dear! So it was a rough week last week to say the least! But other than that... the weather is warming up for the week and then most likely back to snow! I got to go hunting for the first time last weekend... well sort of hunting. We chased the antelope in the truck because boys will be boys and they have to use their antelope tags! It wasn't very successful but it was still a blast!

Winter is in the air!

First snow... bummer. Friday we all woke up to a nice two or three inches of snow on the ground. It was nice to have snow, but at the same time it sucked since my appointment was early morning and I had to walk and it was icy! Speaking of appointments though, I got my thyroid test back and it was fine... but I still can't get the rest I need! I sleep great until about 4:30am and then I wake up so exhausted. Something has to be wrong that we are missing. Alex and I went back to Gap this weekend though and dealt with freezing weather... it was only one degree! But it was a weekend of rest and relaxation because you couldn't do much else due to the weather! But we went to Billings on Saturday with the family and shopped, although didn't buy because we are dirt poor college students. Blah. Sunday, after football, we headed back to Missoula. The roads weren't too bad but still some icy spots. I got to see some rams closer to Missoula, only about ten feet from the road, if that. It was pretty neat! Also, it is Antelope season as of Sunday so we followed a guy with an Antelope strapped to his truck and Alex explained to me ever so gracefully how they were gutted... GROSS! But then there was a deer on the side of the road that fell of of someones pick-up or something so I got to see what a gutted deer looked like... very flat. The thing I like is that unlike Colorado, you can hunt by the street so we saw antelope hunters as well as bird hunters... it was an eventful ride to Missoula to say the least. But, I will say that I learned a lot, I am for sure slowly becoming a Montana girl. Anyways, school is still going good. I got my classes picked out next semester and mid terms are here! Griz football is still kicking butt, 5-0 I believe. Pray it warms up for the 14th though of next month so I don't freeze to death as I watch the Griz destroy Northern Colorado!

First snow... and a job interview to go with it.

So after putting in an application to Macy's, I finally got an interview for tomorrow... so hopefully it goes well and I will be able to get the job! Aside from that, it is amazingly cold here and it snowed a little... I am just not use to the humidity when it snows so I am beyond cold... more like a Popsicle! I just found out today that I am getting another room mate most likely tomorrow. She seems really nice because she stopped by to meet me. She has to be better than my last room mate! So today I spent clearing out my stuff from her side so I am back to my cramped corridors. As far as health, Alex is doing great, I am doing better. I have not been sleeping due to hives but I have an appointment for Friday and I will get my thyroid results back as well. My hand is finally healing even though there is still a giant bruise on it, at least I can move it now! We are both doing okay in classes. Just trying to prepare for next semester. We are going back to the Gap this weekend and I am excited because I finally get to get away from campus. It is homecoming week, but of course the whether has put a damper on some activities. Like is still pretty dull though... school and work is the story of our lives!

Aww, so glad for the weekend

It had for sure been a long couple of weeks. I had a couple of Doctor's appointments and one was to get my thyroid tested. I get the results on Friday and for now I am taking a prescription sleep aid because I had to get some sleep! Anyways, I am on a new medicine that is an anti depressant that is suppose to help with the pain with out the terrible narcotics that I have been taking. work is going good still. I love having this job! Alex and I both finished the new Dan Brown book in record time... oh so good! school is going good though, it is lot's of work but it feels good to be in a real school again. It snowed three inches in Judith Gap the other day and it sleeted a little here in Missoula. It sure is humid and cold though... not use to it since Colorado is so dry. My room mate moved out yesterday so I have my room to my self... at least for now, and I love it! My health I think is doing better since I am being more active and eating better. I have been doing the M every Saturday to pass my time. I like just getting away from it all, sometimes you need it! This coming up Saturday will be one year exactly for Alex and I and I couldn't be happier! I love him to death (I mean who else will take you to the hospital and ward off freaking drunk people while I am going crazy from meds :)) Alex has been going back home almost every weekend still to work for his parents and make a couple of extra buks. I am STILL trying to find a second job, but no luck so far. But that is about it for now... our lives are pretty boring!
