A Night in the Life of the Decker's



I wish to write about our night last night. It came with a few interesting..quirks. First, we found out just how un-sound proof our ceiling is. Apparently one of the girls upstairs has turned nocturnal, because all night long she was texting on her phone. She even had the phone on vibrate, but we could hear every time the phone vibrated through the ceiling. This happened every 2-3 minutes for about... 6 hours. Jarom never could fall asleep, so at 1 am he gave up and left. I would feel bad complaining to them though, because she really wasn't being inconsiderate. I 'm sure she had no idea that the people under her could hear her vibrating phone. But we could.



The second weird thing was a dream that I had. I often have weird dreams. Sometimes they are pretty scary, sometimes they make no sense. I'm sure everyone can relate. Last night I had a dream about a monstrous, ginormous, furry bee. It flew into our bedroom. It was probably a quarter of a foot big. And fat. And fuzzy. And did I mentiong HUGE!?!?!?! So I screamed at Jarom to kill it while I tried to hide under the blankets. Jarom successully swatted it with our plastic fly swatter. Unfortunately a flimsy plastic fly swatter is no match for a beastly bee. So all it did was launch this steriod bee straight at me. It landed right on my neck, in my hair. It was still alive and moving and furry and GROSS! I was so terrifed that I couldn't even scream. I was more like convulsing trying to get it out of me but I couldn't and I didn't know if it would sting me or what. Finally I decided to sit straight up in bed so the bee would stay on the pillow no longer touching me. This is when I woke up. Sitting up in bed. Still cringing and nervous to lay back down.

I've always had this theory that people never actually sit straight up as they wake up from a bad dream--that it only happens in movies and on tv. You just disproved that.

Also, my word verification today is: sisters

Usually it's just random letters and possibly numbers. Interesting.

I like how you said "quarter of a foot" as opposed to 3 inches. It makes it sound scarier.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
