Spring Break!

So, this week is spring break! I am loving having the time off. However, I still don't get to sleep in. Gus makes sure that I am up by the latest 7 am. Which is sleeping in a little but, not as much as I would like to.

Brandon was out for his field training this past weekend. He has to rush a girl to the medic because she was not taking care of herself. Apparently, she was "dieting" because she is over the weight limit for the Army. SO all she ate all day was snack bread that is 180 calories. She collapsed from the lack of food and started to have an asthma attack. Brandon thought that she was going to pass out and that he would have to give her rescue breaths. Instead, they got a van and took her to the medic but that took like an hour. He yelled at her the entire time to keep her from passing out. Why is it that many girls think that "dieting" consists of not eat at all. I can't believe that people think it is healthy not to eat.

Anyways, life has been wonderful. For all you that have wanted to see a picture of Gus the dog here you go...

House and DOG!!!

Well, we are officially moved into the house. It is wonderful to have a place that is ours and that we can do whatever we want to it. I love the fact that it has a garage. I don't think I could ever go back to not having one.

Right before we got the keys and signed the papers, we were homeless, living with some wonderful friends. They housed us for just about one week. Then, we were able to sign the papers and move right on in the next day. However, I had to fly to California two days after we got the keys for a funeral. It was nice to be with family, but very sad at the same time.

When I got back, Brandon had of course finished organizing the house. I am so grateful for him.

Yesterday was an exciting day for us. We were up in Salt Lake looking at washers and dryers (since we still don't have them) when we just happened to drive past the Human Society of Utah. Needless to say after about 3 hours we were leaving with our new dog!!!! It was hard to choose but he just so well behaved that we couldn't help ourselves. Plus, we did save his life! He is an Australian Cattle Dog, about 4 years old, and he was already named Gus when we got him so we kept the name. We couldn't be happier!
