UPDATES WITH PICTURES

Well, we finally have internet, thanks to the good folks at SFCN. We quit with qwest because it took them 2 weeks to get us internet, and when they said we had it, it didn't even work; So we switched to the city's server. We also have cable, wich is a first in almost 2 years.
Over all, things are going great. We are adapting to life in spanish fork, though it feels like most of our time is spent at work or school. None the less, we enjoy the splendor moments of comfortability that the weekend brings.
Below are some pictures of parts of the house, and Emma carving pumpkins.

Can I Get a What What?

I've been seeing this on a lot of people's blogs and I thought it looked interesting, plus I'm bored because Emma is napping and my grandma is gone. It's 50 facts about me and 50 facts about Neil.
50 Facts About Ali:
1. I'm very OCD, everything has to be in even numbers or multiples of 5.
2. I would die to have a baby right now, literally, if I was told that if I were to have a baby I would die right after birth I would do it, no questions asked.
3. I want to travel the world before I die. I actually told Neil that I won't marry him unless he can promise me that we could do that.
4. I love my life, I'm the happiest I've ever been.
6. I hate germs, I never used the bathrooms at school, if I have to go I wait, even if it's for 4 or more hours.

8. I love to read, in our house I actually added a reading corner just for me, it includes a nice big, comfy chair, a book case with all my books, and a lamp. I haven't been able to use it yet...depressing.
9. If a book becomes popular I refuse to read it, Harry Potter NEVER, Twilight series YOU WISH. They just don't appeal to me.

12. I love the internet, I can find out anything about anybody.
13. I spoil Emma way too much, she has a ton of clothes that she has never worn and it makes me upset because they are dang cute but she doesn't fit into them anymore.
14. I love taking baths, everytime I'm tired, stressed, sick, or anything I soak in the tub, my parents acutally bought us a jetted tub in our new house, it's well used...Emma is taking after me.
15. I love our new house, I couldn't ask for a better place.
16. I'm a spoiled brat and if I don't get what I want I through a fit and fight until I get it...fortunately I've learned how to use this properly and it always works in our favor.
17. I would love to have twins, I actually hope I do, I think it would be so fun.
18. I was married at 18, and had a baby at 19...I was creeped out too.
19. I don't trust doctors and dentist unless I already know them...that's why I traveled 30 min. to my doctor when I had Emma and whenever I go to the dentist I travel up to Heber. I don't know what I will do when they retire.
20. I can't sleep unless Neil is next to me...so I end up waiting until 12:30 at night to go to sleep.

22. I'm going into Social Work...it's the best.

25. I think my parent's love Neil more than me half the time...but that's good.

No Internet!

Sorry Neil and I haen't updated this blog in a while. We just moved and we don't have the internet until the 13th....we're pretty upset but we will live. But yes, it's true...we have finally moved. I LOVE our new house. I didn't realize how much stuff we had. It took us about 7 or eight trips to get everything from our apartment, but it's finally all in and almost all unpacked. We have a few more things to get set up. But as soon as it's all ready to go and we have the internet I will post pictures so everyone can see it. I must admit driving the extra 20 minutes to get to school is kind of annoying, but I'll get used to it and it's worth it.
Yesterday Emma and I went ot Cornbelly's with our friend Brandi and her son Lukas. It was a blast! They kids were so good and it was fun for all...but I must admit a little expensive, but it was ok because Emma liked it so much. I actually forgot my camera so I will have to pawn some pistures from Brandi and get them up here. It was fun to finally do something with someone who has a baby Emma's age.
Other than that nothing new. Oh, and Neil's last post was not true one bit. I guess it's a joke at work...whatever. Weird boys!
