Our chicken dog finally found her nature lover side, and GOT IN THE WATER! And SPLASHED. I couldn't stop laughing. Oh, and she collects sticks, and finds a more pleasing composition for them. She moved every stick she found to, what I can only assume, the perfect place. <br />
<br />
That evening we ate our traditional (now for our anniversary, because that’s what we ate on our honeymoon) steak! with grilled veggies and homemade fries. Probably my favorite dinner ever.<br />

When I was little I thought they were a gift just for me. They come in early spring, but don't stick around long. They are already finished blooming this year.<br />
<br />
It's been an interesting couple of weeks. Two weeks ago, one of the most important people in my life passed away. My grandma Nick was ready to go, and her funeral was more of a celebration of what a great person we all had in our life. I'm happy she is with grandpa again...But I still miss her.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D-uvcI4-YiI/T4Q9PlsXrcI/AAAAAAAACKg/SU-fjjUR7TM/s1600/gran+nick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D-uvcI4-YiI/T4Q9PlsXrcI/AAAAAAAACKg/SU-fjjUR7TM/s640/gran+nick.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I really love this picture.<br />
It reminds me to be faithful and endure.<br />
My grandma had her hair ripped out by a utility fan, when she was still a mother of young ones. She told herself she would not wear a wig, because she had faith her hair would grow back. In all her pictures in this time period she is wearing a scarf wrapped around her head. After 13 years, she prayed her hair would grow back in time for my aunt's high school graduation. If it didn't she would know it was time to wear a wig. Apparently a couple weeks before, she about gave my grandpa a heart attack when he walked in on her washing her newly grown locks. <br />
<br />
There is so much to say about by grandma, but if you know me you know what she is like. I talk about her all the time. She was a writer, singer, musician, artist, comedian (according to her grandchildren), and the perfect grandma. I'll probably share a few more things in the future, but this will do for now.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PzaLXg0jHIw/SZXqsEMGAqI/AAAAAAAAAWY/foz6xKFBg1w/s1600/mal+and+grandma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="635" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PzaLXg0jHIw/SZXqsEMGAqI/AAAAAAAAAWY/foz6xKFBg1w/s640/mal+and+grandma.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
It was nice to see family and share tons of stories, and sing her old songs. My brother and his family were able to stay for a while, and that was great to spend so much time with the kids, before they move off to Kansas.<br />
<br />
Easter weekend was nice too. We had brunch with Jeff's parents, before they headed to KY to stay with Jeff's grandparents, and see his sister. We are hoping to save up some to be able to visit them all soon. <br />
<br />
We've been busy most weekends with college visits. I'm so excited for Jeff! He got a teaching assistantship at one school...and we are thinking that's where we are headed in the Fall! I'm happy too. We get to stay in Ohio :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lot's has been going on lately, and they have all been good. One thing that makes it all good is Easter, and what it truly means. I am grateful for the knowledge we can see our families again. I'm grateful to know we can be forgiven, and live with our Savior again; for he has risen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I babysit two little boys during the week and yesterday, while pushing the 4 yr old on the swing, we got on the topic of favorite things. His were *dancing*singing*hiding*picnics*cars* <br />
<br />
Today, Sally and I went for a ride in our old pick-up truck, which she LOVES, and it got me thinking about her favorite things (which she is VERY serious about) *playing*running*riding in the truck*treats*friends*back rubs*sleeping*<br />
<br />
And, so I think it's only natural to think of my favorite things, too... but try to keep them in their simplest forms, like my friends above. My favorite things I guess would be*warm weather*Jeff hugs*painting*Sally laying on my toes*gardening books*outdoors* <br />
<br />
Yeah, today I got to/will enjoy every one of them. What a good day.<br />
<br />

I grew up in a house built on an old race horse training facility. Acres of pasture and riding trails...and me without a horse. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally, my parents decided to get me the greatest gift I could have EVER asked for. That one thing every little girls dreams of. And not just one; but a beautiful white Arabian, and a chestnut brown filly, too. My life was complete.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Every so often, my dad would take me on little trips to see either someone selling rabbits, or goats, or the occasional horse stable or show. But one of my fondest memories was when my dad took me to buy my boots. We went into the attic of an old man's tack store. Up the stairs was a strong scent of leather, and a wall lined with boxes of shoes. I picked out the perfect riding boot, and got them a couple sizes too big to make sure they would last me a long time. My dad got himself a pair of cowboy boots, and we paid the man. I couldn't believe my dad would spend so much on me. Though looking back, that was a good price for good shoes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I went to college my boots went to storage. I ended up working on a ranch, but I never wore them (maybe because I rode english and the ranch was western). Since Jeff and I moved back to my hometown, I've finally started going through everything. And there were my boots. Last month I finally had an excuse to wear them...and they still fit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm hoping someday we'll have a little girl who will fill my shoes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8r5EdPtiGA/STVq86fCPRI/AAAAAAAAANA/5m7cYsK9F_c/s1600/scan0022aa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8r5EdPtiGA/STVq86fCPRI/AAAAAAAAANA/5m7cYsK9F_c/s640/scan0022aa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've been thinking a lot about the past, lately. More specifically, the past before I was even thought of. I've been converting my grandma's songs from tapes to mp3, and just read a small book on my other grandma's family. Makes me want to move into the hills, and start a folk band honestly. It also makes me want to do a family history adventure, where Jeff and I track down old stories and places from our ancestors.-More to come on these projects in the future.<br />
<br />
I've also been thinking about this pretty huge artistic project I've been building in my mind...oh, to be back in college, when I had all these weird connections and could pull it off...I'll have to see what I can do...<br />
<br />
I think a lot. Too much, probably. I'm a dreamer. <br />
Fortunately, Jeff got me a project planner for Christmas. It's been helping me keep my thoughts organized...<br />
And I might actually get some done.<br />
Goals. Goals. Goals.<br />

First we walked around a little in downtown Cincy (which happens to be what we did on our first real date), before meeting up with Jeff's friends where we made reservations. We went to a Brazilian restaurant, where they come around with different cuts of meat, and it's amazingly tasty, and awesome, and yummy, and filling beyond belief. It was worth it. <br />

It was good...I think old people go to see movies on New Years Eve though, because we were definitely the youngest people there...and that's what my parents did too...<br />
<br />
The guys were wanting something sweet afterwards, so as tradition for Jeff's birthday (or so it seems to be becoming), we suggested a cookie monster. At the pizza place back in Idaho, they had a little cast iron skillet with a freshly cooked giant cookie on the bottom, ice cream in the middle, and whipped cream, pecans, caramel and hot fudge on the top; which they referred to as a cookie monster....and what I like to recreate for Jeff...and his friends...at 1am on New Years. Makes me miss it just typing about it.<br />
<br />
So, we rang in the New Years well fed, watching the modern Sherlock BBC series. We tuned in 10 sec. before the ball dropped...or in our case, before the fountain square sign flashed HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I leaned over and gave Jeff a kiss. :)<br />
<br />
We are getting quite old though, because we had to roll down the window and sing as loud as we could the hour ride home at 2am to keep from falling asleep, where apparently my little sister (who got in a half hour after us) had a pleasant, non-groggy drive home...odd what a difference a few years can make...or is it marriage.?...We did see a movie on new years eve.... <br />
<br />
We did happen to save my triple chocolate moose cake from the restaurant, so on New Years day Jeff and I ate it with some sparkling wild berry we were supposed to be home in time to break open the night before. I was much happier with how our plans ended up.<br />

TubaChristmas! I went to one in DC a couple of years ago with a friend, so I was excited to have one in my home town. Jeff and I were kind of herded into our old historic theater not totally sure what was going on. Once we were inside we were deciding where we wanted to sit. There was an open door not saying we couldn't enter. So we entered. It lead to box seats overlooking the performance! I called Mindy, and told them to come on over for a TubaTastic time, because we got the best seats in the house. <br />

Don't ever forget it." usually when we were just spending time together. And I always remembered (even though he might not. haha) So, I was sure to tell the kids who were there with us to always remember this experience...We will see how long it lasts. <br />

I'm not sure how I didn't hardly get any pictures of the babies, but they were beautiful and adorable. Thanksgiving gave me some wonderful traditions I want Jeff and I to implement into our family. Being together. Service. Free fun! <br />

It's a good day to snuggle up by the fire with Sally, and blog.<br />

I have a lot of joy in my heart right now. Although our circumstances aren't ideal (whose are?), I'm grateful for so much. A place to live, food to eat, WORK! I am so proud of Jeff every morning...even if I am grouchily saying "turn off the light! and pack your own dang lunch!" every <i>other </i>morning. <br />
<br />
We are making things work here in my lil' ol' home town. At church Jeff is a counselor for Sunday School, and I'm Second Counselor in Primary...dun dunn duuuunnnnn. We. Are. Getting. Old.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking of some ideas on what traditions I want to create with my family as it grows. This past month or so have been good idea builders.<br />

It involved the ocean and one of my closest friends. And I can't shake it. Can I just say I had the <i>best </i>college experience. I wouldn't change it for the world. Here's a little of why as soon as high school was over my life was awesome:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Worked on an island, made the greatest friends, and got the best tan I will ever have.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Had fun, and sometimes interesting roommates everywhere I went.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Went to an art enriched trip to London</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Took an amazing, enlightening philosophy trip to China.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Flew anywhere in the country I had (or could make) a friend, just about every month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Got the best education for me, that I would never replace. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (typical school day: scuba class, teach an art lesson, teach riding, unwind in the ceramics studio; weekend: fly to Utah to hang out with friends, or drive to an art museum in a neighboring state) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Had the most perfect job in the beautiful Appalachian hills, as a horseback riding instructor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lots more....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Since graduating, life has kind of changed. I can't fly anywhere on a whim anymore (lost my parents' flight benefits, for being too old). Haven't gone horseback riding for almost two years. My friends are getting married and starting their own lives, making it more challenging to get together or go on a spontaneous trip. And worst of all, I can't see the ocean whenever I want (again almost two years ago). This is all very very hard for a free spirit like mine. </span><br />
<br />
As much as I so greatly miss my college years, I have to remember what's ahead. For me, it's hard to think things could ever get any better than they were then...but when I'm realistic, they sure can. The only difference is we just have to make a little more money to go on a trip, and work with a schedule (makes my free spirit cringe). I just need to remember a few things.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've gotten to see the island on THE best trip to the island in 2009.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've seen beautiful parts of the country this past summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I learned so much of what happens in the business world, and the non-profit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I got to experience the behind the scenes of an art museum.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I got to learn more of what I love and what I don't love in work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I got to see how okay Oregon is.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've met great people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> And of most importance:</span><br />

He's hoping to go to school for linguistics next year, and get certified to teach English as a second language (which most definitely implies we will travel the world together). I've become more of an introvert and he likes to be around people, so he makes me get out of the house. He is so creative with words, and I think we make a good creative duo. He's kind, corny, and nerdy. I hit the jackpot.<br />
<br />
Today Jeff started his first day of work. We will still be poor, but at least now we can save a little to hopefully see the ocean soon. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We've been back for almost three months, which means I've got three months to catch you up on. Now that we've got a set schedule, goals, plans, and hopes I feel things will start moving (including my typing). </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3460167309577740676-3383099122771554724?l=mallorygoldie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Malloryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10873923916631558249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460167309577740676.post-43390964437949737402011-10-20T10:13:00.000-04:002011-10-20T10:13:26.921-04:002011-10-20T10:13:26.921-04:00Rain Rain<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EvZztproq2E/TqAd9Sojc8I/AAAAAAAABtE/2tKc2ry8QmA/s1600/IMG_2961.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EvZztproq2E/TqAd9Sojc8I/AAAAAAAABtE/2tKc2ry8QmA/s640/IMG_2961.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, the cold rain.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just want to cuddle up in a warm blanket in front of the fireplace. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The past few weeks have been in the high 70's, beautiful fall weather (pictures to come)! But this week has been dreary (but at least not snowy!).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Things are coming together for Jeff and I. We've had some goals we really wanted to accomplish this year back home, but as each month passed they seemed farther and farther from ever being achieved. Well, I think they are finally going to be in our reach. Hopefully later this week we will know. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our Goals For October 2011-2012</div><ul><li>Be more diligent in reading scriptures, praying, and serving others (will never be crossed off)</li>
<li>Find meaningful work (or any work at all)</li>
<li><strike>Have an emergency fund </strike></li>
<li>Pay off Jeff's student loans</li>
<li>Create a realistic and obtainable budget (including investments and savings)</li>
<li> Eat healthily and exercise more</li>
<li> Create a side business (i.e. Etsy Shop) as a hobby and to help us be more creative</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;">Within each goal there are specifics, and I've got different papers with different ideas and elaborations scattered around. So, to stay organized and managed I'm creating a "life book"....I need to think of a better name. Since I've been busy with different jobs and projects I've needed a more time efficient way of doing things. I want to get a meal plan, and shopping list made for each week. I want to keep track of each of our goals' progress. I want to keep up on my online class, or anything new I've learned. I want to keep each of my jobs organized. I want to hold myself accountable to following through on good ideas. That's what this book will help me do. Categorize and organize responsibilities, without micromanaging my life. </div><div style="text-align: center;">(More details on this project to come)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This weekend, Jeff and I are heading across the river to Kentucky. We're excited to spend time and have fun with Jeff's side of the family. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll keep you posted :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, we're back in Ohio. It's really great. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been staying really busy making the basement into a home, and getting started in three different jobs. On Saturdays I'm helping out on a farm, with their fall festivities. I'm babysitting two handsome little boys a couple days a week...AND I finally got an art teaching gig. It's part time this year, which really works out perfectly for Jeff and I to get settled in and comfortable.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've got tons of project ideas, and have lots to share. Now that we have most of our living situation arranged (i.e. an actual OFFICE space), I'll have more time. Ah, yes. Time. Considering I've got to leave at 6am, I believe it's time for bed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Coming up: The Move (as promised), the new pad, latest finds, projects, and goals to leading to a more organized life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I still had a few things to do on my list before we moved, and I was going to check the rest off. First we went to see Mesa Falls, since it was on the way to where we were staying. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Then we checked into our cabin...which was a little questionable. The reason for not staying in our house was so we could have enough space to stretch out, and have a place to take a shower (rather than only a bath at our house). In the cabin...both of these were questionable.<br />
<br />
Walking up to the cabin was a little iffy. A support beam was cracking in the middle, making the door hard to open. It was a decent size, but was not an invitingly clean facility. And the moment Jeff sat on the bed, it plopped down through the frame, and onto the floor. We didn't sleep as comfortably as we thought, and the shower was a makeshift drum thing that barely had room for one. But we were at least and hour closer to our destination. Here are some pictures to make the place look cool (haha): <br />

When we checked in I asked how we go about going kayaking. She said to get ready and come on up, and they'll take you down the river. SO, we quickly got in our swim suits, applied sunscreen, and waddled up to get going. That's when we were told "Oh, we only have four kayaks (there's five in our party), and two are already out". What? Why didn't you tell us this in the first place? After debating what we should do, and having the front desk and the guys loading up the boats misinform us, we finally decide to get a raft and be done with it. My family's team work abilities are definitely not our strong point, but we made it down the shallow river, and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery. It was beautiful.<br />
<br />
We were done early enough to go check out Yellowstone, before calling it a night. We saw Old Faithful go off around 9:30pm. We went to the Paint Pots and saw quite a few holes with steam coming out of them. And we saw lots of elk.<br />

Good luck with moving and growing your family!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was lucky enough to have my parents and sister visit us a few days before we moved. We all went all through Yellowstone, and the Tetons. It was awesome.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then Jeff and I tried to make it a fun trip back home, which was an adventure. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lot's of pictures on the way of our trip with my family, the road trip home...and maybe of the new place (my parents' basement, which I think we will affectionately call The Pool House) if I can ever get unpacked. Who on earth knew you could get sick of cleaning and cleaning and packing and unpacking after doing it so many times? Before we moved, my office moved (which was a two month ordeal on its own). We are crossing our fingers that the next place we move will be for a longer period of time. I like change, but I think I'm ready for instead of an address change, it just be a picture frame.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm also free from my previous job! I will miss it, but I was ready to be done. So what does this mean, other than little money? (well not that I made much in the first place)....I can make money doing other things! I was restrained by being a VISTA to not have any other income, but not any more! Nope, I can do whatever I want! And I'm ready...Now all we need is for Jeff to find a job. (Keep him in your prayers). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a good feeling being home. I think Jeff is stressed with the job search, but we know things will come together. Just, hopefully sooner than later. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Seeing old friends, holding my baby nephew, swimming in my childhood pool, walking on my old horse trails, and feeling the always sticky Ohio air has given me a new wave of contentment. I have a sweet loving husband, and loyal and cute as all get-out dog, and to be where our roots are makes everything okay.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">better than okay</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
