Drivers Ed

Drivers Ed is going great so far. Next is the week of class and will be just driving days. Day 1 of driving i did well in the chemeketa parking lot. But I did run over the curb. I learned how to back up and park. Need work more on parking. Day 2 of driving drove in residential, went very well. Learned how to yield to oncoming traffic and work more on my turning and stopping. Also need to work more on my signaling. I am starting to get more confident on driving and not so scared about it anymore. My next drive day is hopefully this weekend with my parents and then sure driving with my teacher on wed after class. I will keep you all update as more comes along.

Its been awhile!!

Its been awhile sense I have wrote in my blog. Work is going good and we are busy this summer. I started Driver's Ed this summer term and it is going well so far. Its the fasts way for me to learn to drive and learn the right way. LOL!! Hope to have my license in a few months from now. 

We moved to a new apartment. Just down the road from our old apartment. Its a lot nicer place and little bigger. It also has washer and dryer hook ups. So we become first time washer and dryer owners this last week. 

Its whirlpool high efficiency washer and energy saver dryer.
 We love them and are really enjoying them.
 

We plan to stay here for a long time, even start our family here in about three years or so. I am beginning to get things unpacked when I have time between work and school. Got some pictures hung and for the most part everything is beginning to get into its place. 


Last week we went and picked strawberries. It was the first time for me picking strawberries at farm. I told Kyle we got to make it tradition every summer from now on. It was really fun and we love oregon strawberries. We got a big bowl full. I don't know how to make Jam but I would love to learn. I frozen some for later and we ate the rest. I did make a cobbler with last of the ones we saved out. 


Me with our fresh picked Oregon Strawberries from Fordyce Farms.

Strawberry and Blackberry Cobbler.

Well that sums up our last few months. The year has by fast for us, we will be married a year already in august. It feels like we just got married. It has been amazing tho and we have had our share of challenges. But I would not change it for anything. Look forward to many more years of marriage.

How things are going!!!

Things are going great. I finally got a job in February working at hotel in laundry and breakfast bar. I am really enjoying it and glad to making income to help us out. Still going to school to get my CNA and plan to start the program this fall. We recently buy a fish. Had some some sad experiences with them. First fish we bought was four goldfish they died the next day. Then got Betta fish that also died the next day. Then we had water tasted because we something was wrong with,  but it tested to be good. So we asked petco why our fish were dieing. They said could have been sick fish. So we bought another Betta fish and did more research. Got all the proper stuff we need and now this new fish we named Charlie seems to being great.  

We are looking forward to summer and going on first camping trip as an married couple in July to Beverly beach. It will be fun trip for us. I hope to go a lighthouse for the first time and maybe Ripley believe it or not.
