Apartment Hunting

The past few weeks we have been frantically trying to find a new apartment to move into. We only have until the 31st to get out of ours. But we would like to get out by the 19th-20th so that we can travel to Washington for Christmas. As this date gets closer and closer, we get more nervous and frantic. And I just have to say, I really really hate a trend that I have discovered. This was not the case in any apartments I have previously lived in, but now it seems that EVERY single place we have looked at and decided it might be decently okay to live there, we have to fill out an application to live there. We can't just say, "We want this place let me sign a contract." Instead we have to try to sell ourselves as the best candidate and fill out an application and sit on our thumbs for days while we wait for their decision. It is SO LAME. I am beginning to hate it. I just want to say yes, I want this place and we are moving in now. Instead of applying, applying, applying, not hearing, not hearing, not hearing. I hate feeling like I'm applying for a job when I'm not. We would like to get out of Provo, but at the same time we both work at BYU so it would be nice to stay in Provo. In case our car decides to die (neither one of us actually fully trust our car yet) we would like to be able to continue living by walking to work as oppposed to riding the bus for 2 hours.

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...

Cake 2.0

Here is our second attempt at fondant covered, decorated cake. We're still working on getting things smoother looking and stuff. It's a chocolate cake with caramel filling. Unfortunately the caramel didn't turn out quite like it was supposed to. It turned into basically sugar. It's probably because I was lazy and used margarine instead of butter. But it's still sweet and that's what's important right?

Going Away Present

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of work at good old Independent Study. It's kind of sad, but also kind of exciting and scary all at the same time. It's sad because I've been here for so long. This is the longest I've ever had one job, and I have made a lot of really good friends here. It's exciting because I will get to have a lot of time off to do whatever I want during the day! And it's scary because I don't have another job lined up yet. After 6 months of applying and interviewing, I'm still none the better for it. I was lucky enough to have one co-worker who cared enough about me and my departure to give me a going-away present. I don't really know why I'm sharing it with you, but here it is: This is the picture he used as a reference to update mine with: Any resemblance? It took him two days to create this picture. He said I was wise enough to become a General Authority. I told him I would have to be a man for that. So he decided to mak...
