See what I live with every day... :)

Dane found this link that describes a pilot's personality. I laughed when I read it because it is so true :)

Excuse me, what did you just say??

The weirdest thing happened to me at work today and Dane didn't think it was that weird so I thought I would share this information with everyone and see what you think...I walked into the bathroom this afternoon and one of my co-workers was washing her hands. I started opening the first stall and she said 'Don't use that one, I just pooped' I was so completely caught off guard I didn't really even react, I did that stutter thing and probably had a look on my face that said 'are you nuts'. I don't know if I should find it a complement that she feels comfortable enough to tell me that information or just completely weirded out because right now I am feeling more of the weirded out :)
You know those times when you do something then right after you do it, you think "Why did I do that?" Well that happened to Dane this week, oh yes, he lit one of the big garbage cans on fire at Lee's. (the grocery store where he works) The store was having a dutch oven cook off in the parking lot and Dane was helping to get it cleaned up. He thought the charcoals were cool enough to throw in the dumpster and low and behold they weren't. The fire department had to come, all the fire extinguishers were being used and the workers were dumping buckets of water on it. Luckily for us, it didn't cause any damage and just burned garbage. All I can say is it is a good thing his last day is right around the corner :)

The first of many...

Well it is official, we have joined the internet-savy bloggers of the world and have started a blog! :) I realized this week that nobody really knows what happens up here in Logan unless you talk to one of our parents. This week has been pretty exciting! Dane got a job using the skills he went to school for, at last he is getting paid to fly - HOORAY!! He just got hired as an instructor at USU and will have students under his wing (no pun intended) in a week or so. After 4 years of grocery store retail he was able to give his two week notice today and will be able to have weekends and holidays off! YES!!
This entire week has been pretty exciting, following Dane's great news about his new job, we were able to take a relaxing trip to the wonderful warm weather of San Diego. We had so much fun, saw some interesting things (like the crazy rat-walker) and got lots of sun!
As for me, this week I made jam for the first time! I have to admit I was scared out of my skin at first because I remember mom making it and it seemed like it took her all day, but I was able to conquer the task and finished one batch. Now I just have a lot more peaches to peel and a lot more batches to make. Man oh man, I had no idea it made so much!! I sent an email around work today asking if anyone wanted any because our freezer just won't hold all of it :)
I think that pretty much sums it up for our first blog. Enjoy and comment as freely as you would like :)
